    Vacuum hose inside diameter

    I’m having a hard time finding the right size vacuum hose for distributor advance and vacuum pull off on the choke. I think it’s 3/16, but Autozone doesn’t have it. Am I wrong on the size? All they seem to have is fuel line which is much thicker.

    ‘67 Satellite 383 4 speed at Maple Motors.

    What’s that sound? Maybe the throwout bearing? Pretty clean underneath. Most were way rusted by the mid 80’s up here in the NE. They got it priced at $15,900.

    Are the 4 door roof heights higher?

    I never measured, but assumed that the 2 door looks sleeker because of the slope to meet the backlight. The side quarter window helps as well. I saw this vid and maybe he’s talking about the ‘71 up cars. They don’t share much if any sheet metal between the 2 and 4 door.

    And I thought this guy was a hot rodder…

    I agree, the price is high. But it just sounds like another “Mopar Guy” looking for, and pointing out what isn’t original or “correct”. While I can admire the OEM resto thing, I’ve always wanted something different than everything else. That’s why I don’t have a Fox body. :D

    Kramer’s Mopars… 1/4 mile history here!

    Some pretty kool stuff here. That psychedelic painted ‘68 BO23 was in barn that burnt down the day after it was sold. :thumbsup:

    Uncle Tony says Mopar engines have a fatal flaw

    I think this would matter more at the drag strip, with solid traction. But I remember pictures of the AA/SS cars having external oil lines back in old pix at the track. I also remember guys running a Moroso accumulator on the street. What’s your thoughts on this?

    Richard Rawlings buys a Superbird.

    Nice looking car. Buckets and a 4 speed… I’d want the console as well but, cool. I don’t think they made many in white. Not a color I’d choose first. And not a #’s OEM so it can be driven and beat on a bit. $200k. That’s almost double what it would have been just 2 years ago.

    I’m not seeing $160,000

    Am I missing something? Junkyards are littered with LS motors. It’s got bigger rims and tires, better shocks. And it doesn’t even have a clutch. All these “mods” could be done by a high school kid in his driveway. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-pontiac-firebird-38/

    Anyone ever see one of these? Mechanical regulator.

    I ordered a 60 amp mechanical regulator from Rockauto, and thought it was a direct replacement. It has a different mounting pattern, and the stock wiring won’t be long enough. I did have a PK41H Fury I Police car that I parted out back in the 80’s. So I might have a similar in the attic. Is it...

    Amp gauge bouncing between discharge and charge at idle

    I put a new rebuild alternator in my ‘68 Satellite 383, and regulator. At idle the amp gauge is going back and forth between charge and discharge. Lights are following the gauge bright to dim. At higher RPM’s it acts normal. USA regulator, GM Chinese rebuilt alternator. Any ideas what would...

    1965 440 blocks.

    Does anyone have one? I was wondering what the earliest casting date is.

    $40,000 BIN! OK.

    Prices have gotten silly on some of these ‘68-‘70 rotted out hulks that used to be a Charger. This one had me laughing! A column shift automatic, bench seat car, missing a lot of parts. Ha! Ha! :D 1970 Dodge Charger | eBay

    Where to get a 16 gauge fusible link.

    I need to replace this fix a garage must have done before I bought the car in 2004. I’d like to get one with the ring connector on the end like this Ford part. But I need 16 Ga. Does anyone know where to get one? Thanks!

    Charging issue with mechanical regulator

    I recently experienced a no charge condition on my ‘68 Satellite it still had the original 35 amp alternator and a replacement voltage regulator. I got a new alternator for it and it worked for about a week. It’s now only moving the amp gauge to about zero if the engine is above 2500 RPM with no...

    Upper control arm cam adjustment.

    I need to get rid of too much negative camber that I’ve gotten after installing new lower ball joints. Do I want the suspension off load to adjust them... wheels in the air?

    New alternator with the mechanical regulator.What’s the best?

    I think the OG single field 35 amp in my ‘68 Satellite is finally giving up the ghost. Any recommendations for one of these from Rock Auto, or elsewhere.? Thank you!

    Drum brake job beating the hell out of me.

    I think my main problem is I should have tossed everything that Jim’s auto parts sent me. I have the adjuster screwed all the way in and the brake shoe diameter measures 9.999. The drums I purchased are at 10” I can get them on but they are rubbing. I’m guessing the adjusters he sent me with the...

    10” front drum brake primary spring

    I haven’t done front drum brakes in about 15 years, doing them on a ‘68 Satellite. The kit I got is the newer adjuster setup, ‘69 up. I’m OK with that but... It has 2 secondary springs, (longer) so I was going to reuse the original primary (shorter). But the shoes have a much bigger hole where...
