The week in review: 1. Put new tires on the back. I was running a set of used 255/60/15 bfg's for around 5 years. Really dumb. They had slight dry rot on the outer side (visible) and I kept ignoring it, knowing that I could loose the car. I've been holding out because I wanted new rims and...

If I'm revisiting a previous post let me know. I saw it mentioned but not discussed at length. The link is this: http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/amp-gauges.shtml I've read this page many times, and a lot of commentary on other boards surrounding it as well as ammeter issues...

Hey guys, dropped off for a few years. Still have my car, regained my enthusiasm for it. Good to be back, will try not to ask too many dumb tech questions. Now going to try to update avatar. I haven't used this "new" page yet, may be an indication of how long I've been out of it. -Sam

Watching all these shows on cable TV where guys get these muscle cars and put fuel injected engines in them seems pretty cool. Also looks like something that will become increasingly popular as people figure it out, more kits come out, prices come down (all of that is speculation of course...

Blame Basketcase, he made me do it. I'm looking for a set of slot mags (a pair) at Carlisle. I want to run 275/60's on the back of my car. To do that (according to tirerack.com) I need at least a 15x8 rim. Basket case is saying I can get away with 15x7.5. Right now I've got 15x8.5 with 3.5...

Guys, my 727 leaks. It's annoying. I'm sure I'm not the only one to deal with this. I'm confident it's the pan and not shift seal or dipstick tube. I've cleaned and watched it carefully a few thousand times now. Two newer products are getting good reviews. A mopar dealership product and a...

Nothing big to read here, just posting that I had swapped out my leaking power steering box for a reman unit. So far I think all is good, steering is far more responsive with much less slop. I didn't go with the switch to manual, mostly due to cost. Based upon my numbers, it was $175 for the...

I was talking to one of our members this weekend about some tranny work. As much as it would be cool to convert my car to a 4spd from its present 727 I really don't think it will happen. So, I've considered on-and-off to have the current 727 rebuilt to be a more heavy duty unit than its...

I have a lot to be appreciative of here. Mac dropped by this morning and dialed in my car's timing, carb adjustments, etc. What a friggin difference. I've always said these cars shouldn't be fooled with by anybody but a mopar guy and I was right. Great job Mac, thanks. I'm proud to own this...

Guys, Still looking at making the power to manual switch. Question: Is it the same pitman arm? I'm not finding part numbers saying they are different. Thanks, -Sam

looking for a used manual steering box for my RR. Contact if you can help. -Sam

So I came out of hibernation and so did my car last Tuesday. Anyway, told a lot of you I was in the market to sell, but it still hasn't happened. Now, I'm leaning towards keeping it. Gonna swap it to manual steering, get the carb properly tuned, and see what happens. There is a local guy that...

My car is up on ebay. Not putting a link here, but it's the R4 / gloss stripe only car with turqoise engine. Thanks to you guys that got back to me on editing. Chris was a huge assistance here. Bidding moving in the right direction. Check it out and tell me what you think. So far so good.

...my car is for sale. Gave it much thought, but I need something I can tool around in with the family. This car is a monster and I've got some other stuff in mind. So, I posted my car on craigslist, priced it between a number 3 and 2 car (mid 20's). Guy came today to look at it. Said I was...

Have a source that will embroider some carpet for me for not a whole bunch of money. The same thickness of stuff that you'd see in a new car trunk, etc. Anyway, I want to cut it to shape, have it embroidered and put a hem / border around it. I've got some great, low cost sources for all of the...

Just watched their video series on youtube and it looked time consuming but with a little patience and maybe a helper you can do a good job. Any agreement?

Guys, Thinking about replacing seat covers and door panels. Let me know of good products and vendors as well as crap. That or going with a customized, modern upholstery from a guy in town. More durable and he gets it to appear appropriate for the period. One advantage of living in...

Still batting around the idea of going over to manual steering. I've read the service manual on rebuilding them just for interest sake. If I go to Carlisle and pick up a used one, is there any real way to make a judgement on the condition or if it is ready for use? I'd rather not pick one up...

Posted a few weeks back about a buddy looking at a 72 Challenger 360 auto and asked about some tranny issues. The car has an electrical issue as well that is being ignored. No dash operation and no lights whatsoever. The car starts and runs, but zero gauges and lights. The owner said...
