    Could someone explain how air shocks work to a newbie? And possibly how to adjust them?

    Got it! Makes sense. Sounds like I might need to replace these sooner than later. I get the valve stem under the bumper is to take air in/out but any idea what the nipple is near the license plate is used for? I was thinking it looks like if I was to loosen it air comes out?

    72 440 Road Runner. Backfire/Popping only when foot is off gas and coasting.

    I still have yet to adjust the idle mixture screws (just need some time off work to take it for a drive, likely this weekend and I’ll see if that helps). Also going to replace the fuel filter just in case. Found some notes from the guy I purchased it from that he did all new wires but only...

    Could someone explain how air shocks work to a newbie? And possibly how to adjust them?

    So it looks I have a line from each shock. Then I have that nipple under my license plate and I found what looks like an air pressure stem under the bumper. I’d imagine one lets air out and the other lets air in? Would I just let all the air out and then fill it back up to the height I like or...

    Could someone explain how air shocks work to a newbie? And possibly how to adjust them?

    I have a 72 RR that is new to me. I can tell that the left side of the car is a little higher than the right side. I was thinking it’s possible how the air shocks are adjusted. I just have no idea how to adjust them. I only see one nipple that maybe I could hook up my compressor to but how would...

    72 440 Road Runner. Backfire/Popping only when foot is off gas and coasting.

    thanks all for the responses! Can someone help me identify the idle mixture screws? I believe it’s the two right in front of the carb circle in yellow but just want to be sure.

    72 440 Road Runner. Backfire/Popping only when foot is off gas and coasting.

    So it’s been driving great and I took it on a longer than normal drive today. It started to backfire but only when I wasn’t accelerating. Typically just some small popping with the occasional louder pop. Any idea where I should start? I just have never experienced a car backfire only when...

    A friend just bought a 66 Charger. Any idea what these interior things are? Also glove box won’t open.

    So there’s a red light under the steering wheel. And a switch with a light in the center console. Can’t figure out what either of them do… Also any tips on getting the glove box open? The key just spins the lock. I’d imagine that heater you see on the floor can just pop back in but I bet I’m...

    What's it Worth Before I scrap this….is a broken AC system worth anything out of a 1969 Plymouth Satellite 318

    Thanks! Any idea what’s a fair price? Like $100-$200? Not trying to rip any one off and I’m also not trying to waste my time.

    What's it Worth Before I scrap this….is a broken AC system worth anything out of a 1969 Plymouth Satellite 318

    Fins are bent to all heck. No idea what needs to be done to it. Just wasn’t sure if it had any value more than scrap metal.

    Trying to locate the right size Charger and Arrow emblem that go on the upper quarter sides of my 1966 Dodge Charger. Anyone know the part numbers?

    So whenever this cat was repainted last. Someone took these emblems off, filled the holes and then never put them back on. Trying to locate the correct reproduction parts to put back on. I can’t seem to find what size of part number for both parts might be and wasn’t sure if any Charger or Arrow...

    Looking at a car with spiderweb paint. It doesn’t bother me but will it get much worse?

    I’m going to cruise with it and not worry about much else. It won’t be garaged or covered (except in the winter). Will the paint for the most part stay like this or if I keep it out in the sun and elements is it going to start peeling and cracking quickly? I realize the sun will hurt it no...

    Rebuilding 1968 440. What would you all say is a quote I should expect from the machine shop with the list of items I gave them? Hoping under $5k

    Just thought I’d pick your brain. This is my first time using a local machine shop. Not many in the area I live in so likely can only get one or two quotes. Was hoping to keep it under $5k but I know prices are all over the place.

    Can’t get new reverse light bulb back in socket on my 1972 Plymouth Satellite

    Thanks! I didn’t realize that…any idea roughly where under the car that might be? It’ll work to just have the key on run? It doesn’t need to actually be running?

    Can’t get new reverse light bulb back in socket on my 1972 Plymouth Satellite

    Weird I can’t get the reverse lights to work at all now. I figured my multimeter would read something when touching the contacts but it doesn’t. My eyes aren’t what they used to be but do any of these fuses look blown to you? One pic with flash on and one with off. Neither came out great.

    Can’t get new reverse light bulb back in socket on my 1972 Plymouth Satellite

    Well all, now I can’t even get either of the reverse lights to light up when pressing the lamp bulb against the contact. Lamp bulbs won’t stay in either. I think the sockets are just too far gone and rusted. How often am I backing up any way? I was thinking of trying a few different brands of...
