Just came across this video when watching a member's video of the problems he's having with his car.
Unrelated to Mopars but should be interesting for anyone with gasoline in their veins.
If anyone is interested in making headrests for their 66 Satellite with Bucket Seats - I've just done the job.
Manufacture
I started by buying a couple of head rests off a modern car from the scrapyard. I stripped the material covers and split the polystyrene inners apart. I then cut the...
I installed PST greasable poly bushings into my Lower Control Arms about 6 years ago. They say "Proforged" on the shaft.
I noticed last week the passenger side shoulder of the bush was all split, and checking the driver's side from underneath I could see that one was stuffed too.
This morning I...
I've recently replaced my Holley carburetor with an Edelbrock and ended up with a fairly long piece of rubber fuel line from the pump to the carburetor. My small block car has 5/16" fuel line as opposed to 3/8".
My confusion arose with the inside diameter and outside diameter of these lines when...
Got my custom air cleaner decal through the post today. Marked as "handle with care" but then folded up into 4...
I contacted the supplier to let them know but it worked out fine. I came up with the initial design and then my son improved it and finished it off. I got the idea of the 90° writing...
I'm replacing my factory 727 oil pan with an aluminium deeper pan that has a drain plug (and another plug for a temperature gauge if desired). It has a billet filter extension and a neoprene gasket that seems like a much better product than the cork one that was on there - we'll see if it...
I took my car to the tuning guy today and he put it on the chassis dyno to optimize it and see the difference between the 600 v/s Holley and the 700cfm Double Pumper I also have.
It's a 354 poly, 727 and made 341hp at the wheels with the 700 cfm and 334hp at the wheels with the 600. It was a...
My engine builder decided on orange when he repainted my poly stroker.
It was red when I dropped it off.
Last weekend I decided to repaint it red and spruce up the rocker covers while I there.
This was before
I removed everything that was easy and got to painting.
Yesterday was Mopar Sunday at Willowbank Raceway in sunny Queensland. It was fantastic. Lots of cars, track open from 8am for test and tune, plus plenty of cars in the show and shine.
Around 11am they closed the track and started a cruise going up the parade lane and then back down the track the...
I run my car at the track a few months back, 318 poly stroker, now 354 cu in with a 3.58" stroke crank. 3.23 rear, stock converter, power steering, full interior cruiser.
I was still running the factory exhaust manifolds and the car ran:
14.8 @ 96 mph.
Last night I was back at the track with...
So I collected my car this morning after having custom headers installed. Engine is a 354 cu poly stroker, 10.8:1, Ross pistons, 600 Holley vac sec, manual choke wired open (have never needed it in this hot climate).
Car started fine and idled ok but after a few minutes driving I noticed a...
My Upper Ball Joints both have split rubber seals on both sides of the car. About 5 years ago I'd bought the PST replacement UCAs that had the ball joints already installed and also the super front end kit so I had 2 spare upper ball joints. My plan was just to swap the rubber seals as the ball...
Help required! Drove the car Friday night, running great. Blew a bit of the carbon off the plugs as usual, but nothing too crazy, maybe a few 5,500rpm runs. Parked the car, no issues.
Went to drive it today and it started fine, oil pressure fine etc but was sounding terrible, like an exhaust...
It's Autumn here, usually about 80 degrees or so, but the last few days have been in the 90's.
Today was approaching 100 degrees and I needed to go to the big smoke, a 120 mile round trip so naturally I took the Plymouth with no aircon rather my daily driver.
Jeez it was hot! Car run...
I've bought a mini starter for my 66 Satellite with a stroked 318 poly.
I am useless at electrical and need some very basic help with wiring it up.
The old starter has 3 wires going to 2 posts
The new starter has 2 posts but also this wire with a connector on the end. What is that for...
My factory voltage regulator was replaced with an electronic regulator.
I've cut a channel in the underside of the case from the original regulator and it slips nicely over the new one so it looks more original. I haven't fitted it yet until I am sure it will be OK.
Will there be any issues with...
Just wondering what everyone is using for engine oil? Mineral, Semi-Synthetic or Full Synthetic?
After the first rebuild of my poly I was told by a number of knowledgeable people here in Australia to run Penrite HPR 30: https://penriteoil.com.au/products/hpr-30-20w-60-mineral
The engine...
Can anyone foresee any problems with cutting the torque converter dust shield on a line across where the starter mounts?
Reason being I'm chasing down an oil leak that I think is coming from the oil filter plate (small block) but I'm double checking it's not the rear main. I've removed the...
Hi, I'm trying to fix a leak in the body of my power steering pump. I think it's the O ring that seals the pump body to the reservoir.
The pump is out, I've removed the 3 nuts that hold the front bracket to the pump (and presumably the pump to the reservoir) but it won't come apart. I've tapped...
