Up for sale is a very lightly used Mopar Performance electronic distributor for the RB engine. I switched over to a Firecore unit, so this one is practically new. It is missing one of the distributor cap clips, and does not come with a cap. Works perfectly; asking $80 plus shipping (USPS...

And by the way, if you elevate the car a bit it makes moving the header out of the way easier. Note you do not have to pull the header - just tip it up toward the firewall.

I pulled a stock PS box out of my '68 B body in a couple of hours. Not a bad job. Here's what I did: 1) Unbolt header and tip it up toward the firewall. 2) Remove spark plugs on driver side. 3) Remove battery & tray. 4) Remove PS pump & lines. 5) Remove steering column. 6) Disconnect PS box...

J - sorry the box has been sold. Didn't think it would go this fast! The beast weighs 36 lb, so shipping all the way across country would have been expensive. Hope you have good luck finding one closer to your location.

Sector shaft is 1 1/8" - note I am in correspondence with another member who is interested. Will keep you posted.

Up for sale is a Stage 2 Firm Feel PS box for B body applications. This box has maybe 100 miles on it and works perfectly. I decided to go the Borgeson route shortly after running the Firm Feel box, but the Firm Feel box is a big improvement over stock. Comes with high & low pressure hoses...

Hope this helps - I had a similar problem with my stock '68 tank. This tank has two vent lines, which are routed per the factory setup. I found that the car would stink up my garage after filling up, especially on a hot day. One particularly hot day I noticed fuel puddling under the rear...

I did some searching and found a vented/locking cap that fits perfectly. So far the issue seems greatly reduced. I am sure some vapors will still escape, but we'll see once I take a cruise in this warm weather. Prior to this there was enough pressure building in the tank to force gas all the...

I found the problem, and a way to reduce the stink. Turns out that when the tank is full, and it's a warm day, pressure in the tank builds because the tank vent tube inside the tank is submerged in fuel. So pressure is forcing fuel out through the vent tube and into the frame rail. When I...

Hello, I have a stock '68 fuel tank that is giving off fuel vapors when parked. This only happens after I refill the tank. I have a mechanical fuel pump with a return style regulator after the carbs get fed. This return line goes back to the tank. The other vent line on the fuel sender...

Got it - thanks guys.

OK thanks.

Wow some great ideas - thanks guys. Got a couple questions on your replies: DVW - can you elaborate on where the cut down cable fits in your scheme? Did it run from the shifter to the top end of the bell crank (inside passenger compartment)? If so, then you would retain the entire stock...

Hello all, I am installing one of these in my '68 inside a factory console. I've done some research to plan this out, and my one concern is the shift cable. I've heard of folks having problems with the cable melting - primarily due to radiated heat from headers. And yes, I am running a set...

Up for sale is a set of stock 440 LY connecting rods. Taken from a 1970 low mileage RV motor. $100 plus shipping from SF Bay area.
