    Meet Max the '71 Coronet

    Consider taking a silver Sharpie and highlighting the edges of your grill fins. You have the silver front with the flat black background. I've also seen red that looked good, but on yours, I don't think red would fit. Maybe another color?? The all-black grill looks somewhat dull. Just sayin'.

    Doing the upholstery yourself

    Sewing in a straight line is harder than one would think. Your lines are all spot on! I ain't buyin' this "rookie" BS, you do too good of work.

    An under valued Mopar????

    I hit the "Like" button, but it was so inadequate! I fell absolutely in love with the then cheap FWD '80s turbo cars after a family tradgedy in the early 2000's when I had to part with our '65 Imperial Crown sedan (22k original miles), '70 Gold Duster, '71 Demon, and my beloved '73 BB 4-speed...

    Elon Musk Buys Ford(?)

    No, actually. I saw the facebook post and decided to do a search of what was out there in support and opposition. The fact that there was at least one source (CNA) to support it, I linked the article. My main point was actually in my second post, where someone competent (perhaps like Musk)...

    Elon Musk Buys Ford(?)

    With Elon's Midas Touch, he could keep Tesla exclusively EV while allowing the domestic company to evolve organically. This means embracing the petrol engine platforms for now. I would expect quality to improve, stocks to sky rocket, and prices to actually come down. With that said, I wish he...

    Elon Musk Buys Ford(?)

    According to CNA, Elon Musk bought into Ford Motor Company. This claim was countered by AutoPower stating it was a rumor started on social media. Is it possible??

    EATING THE ELEPHANT

    I bought a '73 RR with the 400. It had been sitting for several years. I was able to get it started in the field it sat in. After about 15 minutes the oil pressure gauge still read 0 psi. I shut it off and bought a new oil pump and installed it. It read normal. I had #2 rod bearing fail...

    Exhaust emissions

    Even at 2500 RPM, no load conditions are greatly affected by the idle circuit in the carburetor. You could lean it out some easily with the idle mixture screws. Secondly, if you haven't done it already, an electronic ignition conversion with a more powerful coil can better burn the fuel you're...

    What the.....who the.....WHAT????

    When I swapped my '95 Grand Cherokee AT to MT, I had my front drive shaft shortened and a new rear made up. That was $500. I may have had it done at the same place you shopped, as I was in NJ at the time.

    Gobeckli Tepe update..

    Ghostrider, if you give consideration to the works of Zecharia Sitchen, your statement makes a lot of sense; even offers a "why" go through all that trouble to build such an elaborate complex. Key words: Marduke, interplanetary interactions, massive and immediate polar shifts, "Noah's" Flood.

    Any Jeep folks here?

    I'm getting 60 PSI at idle with my 4.6 stroker and Melling stock oil pump. (60-ish miles on the engine so far.)

    Any Jeep folks here?

    I have the 12-hole Ford units marketed for 4.0 upgrades. From memory, they flow about 2 lbs/hr more than stock. Compression is 10.5:1. I loaded it with 91 octane before the swap -- just for safety's sake -- and haven't driven it much beyond the break-in.

    Any Jeep folks here?

    And the stroker is installed. Holy clydesdales does this thing ever pull... up to about 3800 RPM. It's like the stock 4.0 with about 5-6 Psi of boost.
