    Transmission coolers?

    Hidden? Is there a reason to hide it? They work best in front of everything that creates heat.

    Water Pump/ Fan Pulley Install - 383 HP

    That flange is a press fit right? If pressed on it can be moved to where it needs to be. Problem solved.

    Water Pump/ Fan Pulley Install - 383 HP

    I was more concerned about the fan bottoming on the pump snout and not being allowed to clamp the pulley.

    B-Body Carnage! - Factory crash testing back in the day

    The object has always been not to hit things. I don't see where that has been completely corrected yet

    I don't remember seeing this in the old days??

    Chrysler fixed it years ago. Something about replacing the clutch with a fluid coupler. If they had only had lockup capacity at the time.

    In 1971/1972 did Richard Petty actually drive a Road Runner or was it a Satellite?

    This could all be answered by a simple phone call to North Carolina or the visit the museum in Charlottesville.

    Grill and possible the dash. Sat used a different grill and the dash could be std or ralley. But yes Richards cars were furnished by Chrysler with an off road use vin. But about anyone could buy a rolling chassis from Chrysler. That's just what was shipped to was something that could be rolled...

    Putting highway gears behind a high stall

    The only vehicle I have that this is a problem is the 68 Charger RT. The engine runs best at 3200 - 3400 at highway speed. The 3:23 gears would be no problem even with the 265/60/15's. But not many states haven't gone to the 80 mph speed limit. 2:74 gears would just be asking for trouble with...

    Valve Body Stand

    Five FSM's, three pacific built manuals and a complete parts manual if in doubt. One Chrysler trans bible and complete training manual. One what to do on the cheap book for before performance parts were common. They all show things a bit different. Depending on the year things do change. Even...

    This might be a bit controversial.

    Rain washes mine 90% of the time. They will not allow the truck in the auto wash. Something about the ladder rack and it being to wide.

    1972 RR 440 won’t start after running fine. Battery and fuses seem good. Replaced alternator, voltage regulator and ballast resistor. Any ideas?

    I refuse to replace a whole compartment wire harness over one wire that needs repair. Good grief. Maybe for those that have no clue how to fix anything other than replacing the car over a part it would be the safe way to go.

    I got ripped off on my 727 deal now I need advice.

    71 383 could have cast or steel crankshaft. He needs to know which it is. Flex plate will work on either. If the converter has a weight and doesn't need to be there simply remove it. But you need yo know what the crankshaft is made of. Vibration dampener is the clue. Post a picture. Steel is...
