    Wheel spacers

    I finally replaced my old almost bald MT drag radials on the rear of my 69 RR. They were 275 50 15, and looked very nice tucked under the car. I was trying to find a regular radial tire in those same dimensions with no luck, unless I wanted to go to another drag radial. I settled on a BFG 295 50...

    FOR SALE Huge B body torsion bars

    I bought these MANY years ago, thinking bigger must be better. My RR has smaller bars that I’m happy with. I have no idea of the brand. Never installed, stored in garage. The super trusty Harbor Freight says 1.15”. I’d like $50. I’m in Marin County CA 94956.

    FOR SALE 8-3/4 3.23 sure grip 489 3rd member

    I bought this used for my 408 Dart. It definitely whines, as the wear pattern isn’t good, with the pinion running off the outside of the ring gear. It’s a cone type, and I don’t know the history of it, but it seemed a bit “grabby”, like someone set it up tight? It worked, but needs attention. I...

    Dot 5 mixing

    I’ve read RE’s articles about all subjects. I’m pretty sure he said we can mix dot 4 and 5 with no issues. I don’t know if he actually did that, but I’m thinking about it. It’s actually on my motorcycles front disc assembly. The master leaked, and the dot 4 ruined the whole thing. It stops well...

    Interior mold

    My car didn’t get driven this last winter. I keep desiccant inside, and drain the water and refill it every month or so. It now has some very light mold looking substance on the soft dash padding. What is the best way to remove this? I’ve used rubbing alcohol in the past, but don’t know if...

    New radiator on the way

    I ordered a Engineered Cooling Products big block aluminum radiator to replace my previously damaged and repaired brass unit. My 383 RR came with the 22” job. Many years ago I added the 26”. I cut away both sides of the support to fit it in. Now I’m reading here, that the 26” is moved to the...

    Buying radiator ASAP

    Im tired of running too hot. I have a previously repaired 26” brass radiator, going to aluminum. Has anyone had experience with Engineered Cooling Products? ACC is out of stock.

    Why oh Why

    ….has no one made a big block manifold with integral valley plate. The Max wedge Mopar crate motor had such a manifold, just like the 426 Hemi. I would hope TF would step up, since I’ve given up on Ed.

    Four vs. six piston

    Good day everyone I’m currently running a Willwood front disc conversion kit from drums on my 69 RR. I installed them many years ago, and they work pretty well. I’m almost sure they are only 10” rotors, but I’m going to check them today, along with the id of my 15” centerline wheel. Summit...

    Vanishing Point

    I just bought the Blue Ray from Amazon. Looking at the cover I thought it was going to be an Asian version, not in English, but it was. There’s a directors cut in there, and I’m pretty sure he says they bought 8 Challengers? I had always heard 3. Did everyone notice the ‘70 four door dark blue...

    Larger front brakes

    My 69 RR has the Willwood front disc conversion I installed years ago. I’m pretty sure they’re 10.75 rotors. There’s plenty of room between the caliper and 15” rim. My 69 Dart I just sold had the 73 up 12” brakes the last owner installed, on 15” steel wheels. Does anyone know of a brake kit that...

    FOR SALE 69 B body QA1 front end kit

    I bought this complete front end assembly from Capp many years ago, which I understand was purchased by QA1. It certainly looks like the same K frame. I didn’t open the box for a long while, and when I did, voila it has two driver’s side LCAs. Capp was gone by then, so I blew that one. I need...

    Max wedge head flow

    Hey everybody! I remember back in the eighties it seemed like the Max Wedge heads where always sought after. I wasn’t aware of any aluminum heads back then, but maybe Brodex? Any how, what’s the consensus on how much cfm they would flow? Even though the port entrance is larger, did the use the...

    Bulkhead bypass question

    I know this subject has been discussed endlessly, but this might be a bit different. I converted my 69 Dart over to a volt meter per Mopar Action (RE), and that works quite well. On my 69 RR I’d like to keep my amp meter which works fine. What if I bypass the bulkhead connection to and from the...

    Aluminum radiator questions

    I could use some info from you gearheads out there please. My ‘69 RR 383 came with a 22” radiator. I later installed a 26” 4 row brass job. Many years ago I hit a tree and ruined a couple of the furthest rows back from fan contact, maybe 6 or 7. I bought a plastic shroud for it, but the fit was...

    Just bought a 383 for $150

    This engine I believe was stored in a barn, at a now closed dump. It’s not seized, and looking into the oil fill hole, the rocker gear is quite clean. I’m hoping someone pulled it for a project and it’s OK. Does anyone know about the passenger side engine mount? Truck maybe? I’d love to stroke...

    QA1 K member

    Has anyone out there installed the QA1 k member, and if so, how does it work/feel. The reason I’m asking, is because I purchased the entire front end kit from now non existent Capp many years ago, and never installed it. It’s taking up precious room in my small garage.

    California coastal Mopar

    Hello fellow gear heads. I enjoy this forum, so I figured I’d join the fun! I’ve included a few pics, but not sure of the license plate exposure rules, so I won’t show some full frontal and rear shots. I bought her in ‘83 for $1000 with the original 383/727 combo. Also had a 3.23 sure grip...
