    Metal gas line going to carb?

    I wouldn't go with that length of rubber hose from the fuel pump to the carb. Too many moving things and heat around there. Totally go with the AN lines. Here it is for only $14 on Amazon.

    Torque the control arm bushing with the full weight of the car on the ground (not on a lift or jacked up).

    Do you prefer 50 year old OEM or new repro switches?

    Here's some perspective...If Amazon sells a $2 toggle switch, it likely cost them $1 landed (FOB USA) at a normal 100% profit margin for Amazon. It is likely there is a distributor in there buying from the China manufacturer selling to Amazon so another 20-30% margin. So if the manufacturer...

    On this subject, if you are using relays try to buy name brand quality ones (TE/Tyco, Bosch). A relay is an electrically operated remote switch for high power (AMP) components. Best example are headlights. You can connect your headlights close to the battery, and turn them on/off with a low...

    Do you prefer 50 year old OEM or new repro switches?

    I should say....the good thing is we have options today. If you do a little research, you can buy much better quality connectors, terminals, switches, etc. I highly recommend Del City and Digi-Key Electronics online. Once you buy some decent crimpers and terminals....it starts to get fun...

    Do you prefer 50 year old OEM or new repro switches?

    Very true statements. I worked in auto parts for around 7 years in the late 80's-90's. I've had plenty of USA made components that were junk, usually for the same reason as you detailed: companies trying to squeeze out every penny. China can make a quality products (the Iphone) it's just...

    Wire ends are all about quality terminals and crimp tools. They have pretty good quality ones for around $30. I have some high end ones, but the ISWISS brand work well.

    Do you prefer 50 year old OEM or new repro switches?

    I have typically found both both used and NOS are WAY better than aftermarket. NOS is usually crazy expensive and only on Ebay. We often have to use aftermarket to get it on the road. Oh the WORST are alternators and starters. Both rebuilt and new are pretty much junk. I went through 4...

    1967 GTX Factory AC. I need help on where the box goes.

    I'd love to see any instructions. I have a 1971 Charger and have replaced my compressor with a Sanden, but nothing else hooked up. I was going to buy a universal condensor on Amazon as there's several to choose from. Then make up my lines. I'm a DIY and no pro, but want to give this a shot...

    I guess one day well be 3D printing some of these plastic parts? I'd think it would work well for plastic grills. I saw this 3D printed Camaro grill.

    Do you prefer 50 year old OEM or new repro switches?

    Aftermarket is junk. I'm on my 2nd ignition switch on my 1971 in 4 years, and it's acting up again! It's not a fun replacement job being in the steering column. I won't keep replacing it with more junk. I plan to bypass it and use a MIL-SPEC momentary toggle switch...good enough for the US...

    WTB High back bench seat for a 1971 Charger

    Hi Terry. No luck yet. I found one in NC, but far from here and it's $500 and needs everything replaced. Not sure I want to sink $1500 for it. Where are you located? Are you selling yours? I'm also considering going a different direction....Mustang GT leather seats. The don't look so...

    WTB High back bench seat for a 1971 Charger

    I'm looking for a high back bench seat, with folding console in the middle, for my 1971 Dodge Charger. I'll consider an off year or even one from a Demon or Duster. This pic is my ideal seat, white and style.

    Help! Need help ID-ing these seat.

    I found these seats and was thinking of using for my 1971 Dodge Charger. The guy is not sure what they came out of. Does anyone recognize them? I guess I will need seat tracks as they are missing. Thanks, Drew ~ Fort Worth, TX

    How much torque can a 833 handle.

    I'm looking for an 833 for my 71 Charger. Need everything for the swap, but mostly the bellhousing and transmission as the rest can be purchased aftermarket online. Want to modify the internals to make the 4th gear overdrive. Anyone have one? Anyone know who does this transmission mod well...
