I found this video to be interesting, but full of inaccuracies. #1: Yes, the #88 Charger Daytona was found at Don White's shop. #2: I don't think this car ever raced in NASCAR. Ramo Stott (pronounced Ray-mo) was an USAC/ARCA/IMCA midwestern driver, so this car did race at Daytona and may have...

So I had some more time to work on my 1976 Cordoba's rear shocks. So when I got the lower eyelet/bushing on the stud I see this: My question is - Will the bushing compress enough once I get the retainer and bolt on, or do I need to trim back the bushing? Thank you.

I soaked the old bolt in evaporust overnight. It looks like they have a Phosphoric finish on them. Will zinc coated work or should I look for Phosphoric?

Getting the nut off the upper bolt was the easiest part of the removal. I didn't even need to put a wrench on the bolt head. The shank of the bolt was rusted pretty solid to the sleeve. I'm thinking I will spray some Fluid Film (or maybe some white lithium grease) on the new shank and sleeve to...

I am replacing the rear shocks on my 1976 Cordoba. The upper bolts are really rusty. They are so rusty that they only came out of the sleeve after a lot of work. Do I need to use grade 8 bolts? The heads of the old bolts are too rusty to tell if they are marked as grade 8 or not. Thank you.

One of the MEVOTECH boxes was marked/branded "Original Grade"

Condolences to his friends and family.

I just received these from Rockauto. The brand they are listed under is "MEVOTECH." I don't know if they are manufactured here or assembled here, but hopefully they go through Quality Control checks here.

Great car and great thread! Have you tried changing your oil pressure sending unit. If this is leaking it looks a lot like the rear main seal. Changing the oil pressure sending unit helped a lot on my 360 Cordoba.

If she has any 2 symptoms of Boarder line personality disorder. Any 2.

From my experience, a bad ICM/ECU has the opposite symptoms from a bad ballast resistor. The BR wants to run in the "start" position and not in the "run". A bad ICM/ECU won't run in "start" but will run in the "run" position.

I have had this problem. Bad ICM/ECU.

I also have some chronic aches and pains - although nothing like yours! I recently started going to a massage therapist that specializes in Myofascial release. I have been very pleased with the results. You may want to check this out. It probably won't fix things 100% for you, but it may help to...

I would think an easy place to start would be to connect a spark tester. If you have spark and it won't run look at the carb and a vacuum leak. If there is no spark, I would start with the coil.

A intact replacement grill for these is +$400.
