Someone told me a few months back a company that is making new 3:23's and I don't remember who it was. Anybody remember? Thanks

I was watching some cable show and a company on one of those car shows like Count's or something else and they referenced some company that makes OVER 600 cubic inch Big Block Mopars, I think it was a 640. I can't find any reference to anybody building RB's that big online anywhere...Anybody see...

I want it all gone, I don't want to part it out. Somebody needs this stuff, I am not trying to get rich. I just want it to go to a good home. Make an offer for all of it?

Seats Now that I think about it, these seats and console are out of a 65 Monaco. They have been in the basement for 25 years. This is the first time they have been touched in many years. The console compartment is is cracked, I'm sure that it can be fixed. The wicker on the back of the front...

Yes, I have all of those parts. They are not in perfect condition, they are almost 50 years old. This is a really old post...you still looking for Polara seats and console?

3:23's, you ever hear of them before? Try and find them now (for a Mopar). Why can't I find new 3:23 gears to rebuild my diff??!! I am tearing down my 8 3/4 and cannot find new 3:23 gears for it WTF?? I can buy like a hundred 40 round clips for an AK but no matter how much I look, I can't find...

Timing your Big Block comes down to one major point, accuracy. The first thing you need to do is verify TDC. These old dampeners have a 40+ year old dried out old rubber ring that breaks and slips, moving the factory timing marks to unusable locations and you guys are trying to use them...We...

Anyone ever try the Hotchkis upper control arms for our cars? They are big money and i would like to know if they are worth it or not.

A guy at the marina recently turned me on to StarTron fuel additive. It is what a lot people are using to counteract the effects of the bad gas we have now in their boats and other small engines. I put one ounce of it in my Civic, that normally gets 39 mpg per tankful, and I got 43.18 mpg on...

Shell Rotella 15-40 in everything I own. Including my 90 Civic commuter car that gets 39 mpg all the time.

Hmmm Looks like I need to do some reading myself... Good article

"Vacuum Retard" Dextron is not Dextron it's Dexron. I have been saying Dextron for years too. Vacuum advance... isn't. The vacuum supplied to the distributor retards the timing so you can start the engine and get a better idle. It is NOT vacuum advance, the advance is by mechanical weights. The...

Timing Your distributor needs to be connected to manifold vacuum, make sure there is vacuum there at idle (NOT ported vacuum, which is negligible at idle and increases with rpm). Next you need to find and mark TDC on the balancer and buy a timing tape. The tape is like $10 from Summit or...
