Does anyone know where to get a dash panel for a 62 Savoy, I do not need the gauges just the panel. It has to be for a manual trans car. Thanks for the help.

My car was running on Tuesday, now cranks but won't start. I have power all the way to the plug, all grounds are clean and tight. Could the plug be fouled? Tank and fuel lines were drained when stored, fresh premium was put in tank. Thanks for your input.

I am changing out the brake hoses on my 62 Savoy manual drum brakes. Since I have no idea how old the fluid is I am going to flush the whole system and start fresh. I do not know what fluid to use, the part store said the DOT 4 synthetic I have from my caravan should be safe. Hoping for input...

Every time it rains I get water in my glove box and on the floor, the only thing I can think of is the wiper gaskets are shot. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am thinking about switching from a double roller chain drive to a gear drive for the cam in my 440. Does anyone use this, looking for feed back, pro's and con's. Thanks.

Hi, I need some help with a part number please. My voltage regulator quit in my 62 Savoy, part number is long worn off, the one on Rockauto looks very different, and the local parts shops don't list earlier than 65 for any Mopar. Rock auto lists a VR101T, looks like a black block, mine is gold...

Hi, just picked up a transmission filter spacer so I can install my deep pan. The spacer came with 3 bolts, washers, an o-ring, and a plastic washer. It did not come with instructions. I know what the bolts and o-ring are for but not sure about the plastic washer or which side goes toward the...

I was thinking about trying VP 103 octane this summer or that race gas mix your own additive. Just wondering if it will be worth the expense or just expensive exhaust. I have Badger cast pistons and 9.75:1 compression ratio, Edelbrock top end and don't want to blow anything up. Motor makes close...

Hi, just wondering what is reasonable to expect to pay for a front end rebuild. I got a quote of $2000.00 Canadian to replace all ball joints, bushings, and tie rod ends. This seems high to me, with current dollar conversion that would be around $1700.00 US.

I will be changing the rad hoses on my 440 this spring and was wondering if there is a preferred temperature thermostat to use. I have no heater in the car but have been told temp can affect fuel consumption as well as power output. I think it has a 185 in it now as that is where it seems to...

I recently put 3/8 fuel lines in my car, pick up to carb. I still have the O.E. fuel pump with smaller inlet/outlets. I am wondering if the difference in line diameter is causing a pressure increase, I get excessive fuel smell in the car now after acceleration and raw fuel out pipes at idle. I...

I need some assistance on figuring out what my 8 3/4 axel is from. The original twisted apart in the 60's on a race track, so a previous owner put this in. All I know is it is too wide for the car and has a 489 center, not much to go on. The drive shaft is from a 74 Newport, has that written on...

I have a Mopar electronic ignition in my car, it had a NAPA grey ICM box and ran okay. The box fried over the weekend, power in, not out, no tach signal. I bought a Mopar performance orange box, I get tach signal, power in and out. It will not fire. I am hoping it is as simple as tweeking the...

Just wondering if anyone has tried those e3 plugs yet? I am using Champion plugs now because they were listed in the install instructions (yes I read them, twice) that came with my Edelbrock heads. I had used both NGK and Champion in the past, but am interested to know if these e3's are worth...

Does anybody know where I can get replacement VIN tags for my 62 Savoy? Not sure how many it should have but, only one left is in the driver door.

I just picked up a 64 polara for $100. It was a race car since early 70's, still has the roll cage in it, some faded paint and a old van bucket seat. I am told it still ran when parked 2yrs ago, but the starter and carb are both missing. Intake was sealed with a carb gasket and steel plate...

Any one know if the Lucas zinc additive used with conventional oil is safe to use. I have been using Joe Gibbs high zinc oil, but money is tight and I need to change the oil. Pennzoil and the Lucas additive are both on sale at the local parts store and would save me about $35. Just wondering if...

I have a question regarding the starter I was told to use to clear my headers. It is from a 99 Dakota 5.9l and has a stud and nut for one connection and a blade type for the other. Before I buy it I would like to know if I can just pop off the plastic and blade connection and find a threaded...

I need help to figure out what gear will give me the best results for my combo. I have a 493hp, 522lbt 440 in a 3190lb Savoy. The trans is a manual shift 727 with a 3000 stall converter, and a 8.75 rear with 3.23 gears. On the street it's fun and will run 13.5's all day at the track. I think it...

Any idea of what sway bars will fit a 62 Savoy? I am looking to put front and rear ones on but have no idea what works. The local mopar club won't help anyone who doesn't own a popular car.
