Here's problem with my 1968 318 / auto: I'm trying to sort out a serious backfiring problem. At times it backfires so hard it sounds like its breaking and kills the car while it is at an idle. It will hardly make power when I put it in gear. I've doubled checked to make sure I'm not pulling...

I have been running a 8388 MSD "Ready to Run" distributor which replaced the original points distributor (68' small block 318) on an already hacked wiring harness that I modified years ago. In order to clean it up I'm installing a new M & H engine harness but would like to keep the MSD. The MSD...

Gentlemen - I have two questions: 1. I dropped the steering column on my 68 Charger and noticed this star-washer laying on the floorboard and I think it came down as a part of the grounding wire from the steering column to the plastic slide based on the picture below from a 72 Roadrunner. Am I...

I need to replace the engine wiring harness on my 68 Charger with a small block. The harness looks fairly original with some mods over the years such as the MSD distributor I added and auxiliary temp, oil and alternator gauges. Also, still have the ballast resistor wired in, a voltage regulator...

I'm looking to swap out the 904 in my 68 Charger that has a floor console out with what I think is a "cable shift" 727 from a 1967 D100. What linkage issues might I expect to encounter when doing the swap? Thank you.

Does anyone know of any good transmission builders in the Kansas City area? I have a 727 core that I'm considering for a rebuild or maybe a trade. Thanks!

This isn't a B-Body but it has been a fun project for the last several years!

I am working the bugs out of a 383 that I did not build and a smallish edelbrock type of carb that I did rebuild, less than 600 cfm. 1. The truck (67 D100) was starting and idling fine at lower altitude. I drove it out to Colorado and leaned out the fuel by changing out the jets and matched...

I'm trying to figure out how to paint the tail panel and came across this article attached which discusses how one might approximate the original organosol treatment. Two options are presented: Lacquer or urethane. Do any of you have any experience with this. Also, are the tail lamp...

I'm looking for a set of Mopar 16x6 steel wheels or 15x7steelies as well. 5x4.5 bolt pattern is what I need. I would also consider a vintique 14 series as well. Thanks!

I am wondering about the body lines on my 68 driver side fender. What is pictured is the lower front and rear sections of the fender. If you look at both pictures you'll see the black line marked on one, and and gleam on the other, what looks to be a subtle body line that breaks at a 45 degree...

I'm getting close to painting the grill on my 68 Charger and my friend has some GM Argent Silver that he has flattened that I can have. Is there a difference between the GM, Chrysler and Ford Argent silvers?

I'm looking for a passenger side end cap rather than spending $150 + for a new pair. Thanks!

I have a simple question regarding the driver's side door. What is the purpose of this hole pictured? I think the the control of the remote mirror belongs in the perfectly round hole to the left, which is not pictured. I'm I right or wrong? The second picture is just for fun. What started...

I'm putting full quarter panels on a 68 Charger with a friend and we have a couple preliminary questions. 1. How did the factory assemble that brace pictured below from the rear wheel housing up to the trunk and quarter panel? And what should we know about taking that apart? 2. The 6 inch...

How many miles were put on your daily (or semi-daily) drivers this year? Thanks to some beautiful fall weather, and a few long road trips, I put over 7000 miles on the 68. :blob1:

I have a question inspired by 69roadr and his "A real car enthusiast" posting. Why didn't the Chrysler Corp. ever get into the Ranchero and El Camino market?

Any market for a Plymouth Valiant? My uncle has this nearly untouched Valiant that he wants to sell for $4500. I'm not a member of forabodiesonly, but I thought I'd post some pictures here in case anyone has some interest or knows of anyone who has an emotional need for one of these. And if not...

I lost my trunk key and so I thought popping the trunk would be an easy task but I have not figured out how to do so. I had assumed that the tab poking through the locking mechanism would allow me to release the latch. Then I loosed the bolts to see if any progress could be made. Now I'm...
