Recently I decided based on observation that like most old V8's, my 318 Magnum in the Dakota prefers not to consume ethanol. The exhaust is smoother, it responds better, runs better period. I can only basically get 91 or 93 octane with no ethanol in WI. probably because there are only two...

NOT MINE https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3857839094488091/? If this thing sells I need to go hit up the local yard!

Light pollution Emitting Diodes I don't have anything against them really. But the way thee tech has been applied is driving me nuts lately. They take much less power to run. I get that, that was the whole big deal with them. I think they have usefull applications. I don;t think headlights...

Someone got their name changed to RED Congrats!

I didn't really see anything about this on the boards, so I thought I would post this here as sort of a FYI and a warning to double check your new aftermarket stuff to make sure you aren't signing up for this! Article: (one of many out there)...

Not mine Saw this as I was browsing. I couldn't look away. I know people rebuild cars but I think this guy is a bit crazy putting this money into(and trying to sell for) a salvage car. In WI that brand on the title never goes away. Would you do this...

I had to take my daughter in to work today. I gave her a ride in the 5 speed Dakota. I left the driveway and we noticed my wife in the big window waving. So I stopped and we waved. Then I left with a righteous 5800rpm burnout, which my daughter found amusing. (well, me too of course) On the...

I didn't see any search results for this topic so i thought I would start one. Do you use a custom shift knob? What did you use? I have (2) I am going to work on this winter. One in the 98 Dakota, one in the 78 Monaco police car. Both will be beer tap handles. No, no, not like the modern 20"...

Raise your hand if you think, in today's world, installing a device that can shut off your water main remotely is a good choice. https://www.homedepot.com/p/MOEN-Flo-1-in-Smart-Water-Monitor-and-Automatic-Water-Shut-Off-Valve-900-006/312305316 I saw a commercial for this with(of course) a...

NOT MINE Thought I would post this here, in case someone that actually likes these cars is interested before the flippers get a hold of it and it ends up on Mecum 3 owners later...

I bought a new tool a couple months ago, and wanted to share how it has done. Now, it isn't some new invention per se', however the mechanical design and application is something I have never seen before. When I got my Dakota, a rubber boot on the front passenger half shaft was torn. New boot...

Specifically: Seafoam penetrating oil. My recent plenum gasket repair on my Dakota required some broken bolt extraction. I discovered the 4 cans of various penetrating oil I have had laying around for 20 years were finally used up. I had: PB Blaster Dura-Lube 3-in-1 Penetrating Oil(not just...

We have all had this scenario: You go to do a repair on a vehicle you bought used. As you dig into it, you discover some odd things, some things that make you scratch your head, maybe some things that tick you off. Today was one of those days. Yard sale Dakota I bought, has 54k miles on it...

Ok, to start, this guy is asking crazy money. But, I have never seen one of these, despite the shape and I thought it was cool(as in, weird and unique), don't make them like they used to! Holy rust out though. Still, link to ad: 1974 Dodge...

I blew the gasket on my driver side manifold. The 5500rpm massive burnout(my son laughed for 5 minutes afterwards) may have contributed, but I mean, it coulda been anything :) Anyway, I went under there to look at the pipes harder for the first time. I was planning on replacing the system...

I don't live in CA. I can't speak to the issues going on there from personal experience. I live about as far removed from coastal BS as possible without living in the mountains as a hermit. However, apparently CA is working to allow the insurance companies to use speculation to set rates on...

So, out of nowhere, suddenly there are blue and red signs promoting "VP Racing fuel" with a new gas station or 3 in the area(WI) and other advertising on TV and such. I can't remember the last time WI had a "new" brand of gas station in my neck of the woods. Anyone know of this brand? I did a...

As the title says, I have a 318 Magnum in a Dakota, with a 5 speed manual. I have been cleaning it up and have plans on touching up the body. 50k miles means I will have this for a while, so I thought I would pick the brains of other Mopar guys about tuning the engine for a little more juice. I...

Thought maybe someone here might like this: 1967 Plymouth gtx I have no idea if the price is fair. I thought it had some good stuff going for it, drag pack, plus drop tops are pretty dang rare for 67. Didn't look all too terrible to me for body, seen worse anyway, especially with a ratty top...
