You may have noticed I haven’t been on here much as of late. I don’t like sympathy, and I needed to fight this in my own head – with the help of God. I was really hesitant about posting this mess while I was still in treatment.
Back in Dec. 2024, I got my last tooth, bottom right, pulled and...
I just got back from walking my Dog. It's ritualistic, and if I don't, he'll give me that stare all night.
It's COLD out there fellas! Currently 8°F and getting colder over the next couple days.
Didn't bother my black Lab "Blue" one bit! My old buddy Wilson was a Chocolate, and he would jump...
As I button up this engine swap, the 383 is sitting comfortably in my Scamp with it's fancy (EXPENSIVE) tti headers.
I was running the fuel lines in their factory spot and were fine with HP manifolds, but I had to lower the line because the fuel hose from the steel line to the fuel pump was...
Ok fellas, I'm going nuts. I am trying to not repeat the same mistake twice. :BangHead:
Previously, I F'ed up 383 assembly. I had my timing marks at 12 and 12. Pulled motor, opened her up after running like crap.
Ok - now trying to get the ignition timing correct.
Currently, Heads are off, #1...
Holy cow! I'm rebuilding my front suspension on my '75 Scamp, and these Moog K772 Upper dust boots are a major bitch to get on by hand.
Same part fits my '68 Road Runner. Can anybody share some techniques? The boots for the lowers appear just as difficult.
Thanks guys!
Hey Everybody,
I scored some USA made NOS Elgin lifters on eBay, and they arrived today. They are new and look really good. The old cardboard box even has survived well, and each lifter was boxed. Who knows how long they were on a shelf? But, I saw what my 2019 Comp Cams lifters looked like...
Well Fellas, as the title implies, I'm in a jam!
I'm removing the front suspension on my 75 Scamp (I know it's an A Body, but I think I know more of you from here as opposed to FABO)
FSM says to apply force from the rear of the strut rod.
Ok, makes sense, but there is a shoulder of sorts on...
Sorry Boys - Non Mopar Question
While R&R a master cylinder in the kids' '07 Honda CR-V, I saw more than one Youtuber recommend bleeding the brakes
in this order: LF, RF, FR, RR. Opposite of how I've always done 'em.
I've ALWAYS have bled the brakes the way I have been told to, factory...
Anybody else notice their pooch is off today? Our Lab "Blue" woke up as usual, and woke me up!
Wasn't I supposed to get an extra hour of sleep?
He started staring at me relentlessly at around 5:10pm (he usually gets dinner around 6ish).
I caved and fed him a little "early" at 5:45. They're...
Holy **** boys, I was just in my garage with the man door open. I turn around, and a skunk is about to cross the threshold!
I was staring right at the little bastard! It seemed confused by the light and hearing me shout repeatedly "get out of here."
I thought of booting it with my foot, or...
Hey Everyone!
This is the camshaft in my 383 from my Scamp. (Comp Cams 21-222-4 262/270, Lift .462/.470 purchased in 2019)
I completed break-in 20 min 2,000 RPM, correct oil, Zinc, etc.
I'm in the process of getting this car moving again (long story). I saw an UTG video in which he stated that...
Hey guys, I have an opportunity to buy a rebuilt 1969 383 .030" over, and seller is stating it has 10.5 to 1 flat top pistons.
It's just the short block. Rebuilt 10 years ago and stored well. No machine shop paperwork. What do you think it's worth? Thanks!
HELP! :praying:
I've been rebuilding my steering column to convert the Scamp to floor shift.
Everything is done, but I need that spring! I made a couple attempts to create my own / make one work, but I need the factory spring.

Please let me know if you have one, thanks!

In late 2020, I purchased an AutoMeter “Street Tach” ATM-2895 from Summit for my '75 Scamp (I know, an A-Body). However, I did not install the tach until almost a year later. The tachometer was installed/mounted on the A pillar. Within six months, the glass lens and bezel literally came off! I...
I've installed this shifter in my 75 Scamp over the past couple days. I still need to trim the front and rear portions of the cheapo plastic tower. I have a "contour gauge" on the way. Have you installed a similar shifter? How did you go about trimming the tower? Any tips you can offer? I'm...
Another thread prompted me to post this. First of all, I love "Used Cars" and don't even know how many times I've watched it - A LOT.
An old grade school friend of mine, Matt and I watched this numerous times laughing at the crazy scenes and dialog. His family owned a Beta Max and then VHS...
It looks like I'll be doing one of these in the '07 CR-V (the kids' car).
The motor rattles up top when cold and idling, runs smooth when driving.
Have any of you wrenched on one of these? I watched a YT video, it seems fairly easy?
The job requires removing brackets/valve cover/find TDC/remove...
