Nice find. I’m surprised that it had no injector code. But model to model and as years go by, the diagnostic codes and code sensitivity changes. But happy to see an obvious fault.

First thing, what kind of misfire is it? Dead mis? Cold start misfire, hot misfire, under load misfire, at idle, intermittent? Does it run ok cold and get worse going to operating temp? You did the correct first steps, move coil and plug.see if change. No change. How capable is scan tool? With...

The valve will hold vacuum when engine is in a low vacuum state allowing you to have good brakes during that time. Stuck open or stuck closed would both be bad. Not saying that this is the fault. Figured it’s still something that should be checked. Must consider all options and rule out.

Sounds like a booster problem to me, but would check to make sure check valve for booster working properly. Not sure if that was spoken about.

I would say it’s very hard to diagnose without the correct tools. Definitely need a scan tool with wheel speed data, even better if you can graph it. I would also say it would be important to be able to scan ABS system and trans. That should point in proper direction of diagnosis. Does seem to...

when I see the high pricing, I usually just move on. Definitely makes me more aware of a fare price. The problem I have is when it becomes car specific. An example would be someone looking for there original engine or transmission. There was a 70 gtx hemi engine with starting bid at 150k. Over...

It’s photo 277. I’ve seen the same digit off by 1 number on 2 other hemi cars built in same plant For 70 build year. Is interesting to see another. So not uncommon to see errors in assembly line back in the day.

Looks like a factory error in body stamp. the 3 on vin is a 4 on the body from what I can see.

I would have been 5 in 77, but growing up…my brother would talk about a blown hemi in a white dart. He made it clear it was ALL 426! Car was known to own the street. If it’s the same car. May have been the newest version at world of wheels close to my beat up car In 19. But very cool pics!

overheating at highway speeds but not in city usually relates to air flow through the radiator. In first pic, I don’t see a chin spoiler. Second pic car has one. I have dealt with this a few times on a few cars. Like the late 80’s camaro. It must have that or it will overheat on highway, may not...

Welcome from Manitoba Canada! great looking runner!

Me and my 2 brothers decided a while back to pick a brand and stick with it. Liked dewalt. So been collecting since. For the big tools, sawzall, hammer drill, grinder and circular saw. Got the 60 flex volt. these are a beast. No comparison to the 20 volt. The one thing I would say is I like the...
