I did my dash in lacquer paint with the last coat more of a misting, and it has a bit of semi-gloss look to it. I'm not a painter, just curious if anyone else has tried this?

My issue with the universal wiring kits is that they use GM wire colors which are different colors than on the Mopar. Also, they usually don't have all the correct terminal ends and option plugs. If it is mostly stock, the M&H replacement harness will save you time and hassles as it just...

Don't know any shops in that area, but do find a shop that knows the early transmissions. The park break cable / pinch bolt can be seized on a trans this old. Might ask them if they know the differences in the transmission filters, canister-type transmission fluid filter ('60-'63), Dual port...

Bough my first Mopar, a 1967 Coronet in 1978 when I was 14 years old. I remember riding my bike to the speed shop to buy a 284/0.484" Direct Connection Purple Shaft cam kit for the 318.

I had to read this a few times, but I think your saying that when the marker lights are on, the brake/turn signal filament in the dual filament 1157 bulb is lit? Since the sockets are new, I would remove the bulb, and push the wires through the socket it inspect the wires and terminal under the...

I though this was an issue with the headlights on? Check the headlight ground at the headlight and where the ground connects to the radiator core support. Another check, if the dash high beam indicator is on, in either foot switch position (low beam) then the low beam is grounding through the...

Sounds like a bad ground as you suspect

I have an upright drill press and used a 1/2" end mill to cut/mill off the swedged part, then pressed out the studs and replaced them.

My friend rented a "paint booth" on a weekend from a repair shop. It was really just a concrete booth at the end of a shop, which would have been OK. We put down 3 coats of red paint on his '67 Mustang and went to get some lunch. When we came back, found someone came in after we left and was...

Painted the '71 Charger in my parents garage with the DuPont Chroma base/clear. That was back around 1988. That was the fifth or sixth car I painted. Can't do that where I live now.

Not sure on that car, but I had a '68 Dodge Truck. If you look at most of those truck, they usually have a nice crease in the hood from hitting the cab roof. I bolted a chain to the hood near the hood latch. The chain dropped down and wrapped around the lower (I think) grill support and I...

Changing the input shaft is a good option. The 1966 and earlier 727s used a 19 spline input shaft, where the 1967 and later used a 24 spline input shaft. Most torque converters are built for the later 24 spline input shaft. If you keep the stock 19 spline input shaft, make sure the torque...

For me, part of doing the Gen III hemi swap is just to have some different stuff to learn about and work on. My background is electronics and software so the computer and wiring don't scare me, but I haven't decided if I want to mess with the factory computers and software, or just use an...

Here is where I was coming from. In my Coronet Convertible I built a stroked 440, I think around $7K for the engine, added an expensive EFI around $4K, but even a cheap TBI EFI is over $2K, added the expensive Billet Specialities belt system (that comes with all new water pump/housing, A/C...

I don't know about the resale value, I tend to keep my cars. If you want all the modern stuff like Highflow heads, EFI, A/C, Serpentine belts, High Output Alternater, and overdrive transmissions then it is less expensive to swap in a Gen III Hemi with an overdrive trans than to add all that...

I looked up the Edelbrock linkage you have and it can be hooked up 1:1 (Using the top hole on both carbs) and that will allow each carb to open at the same time, which would be good for a race car. The way you have it setup is a progressive opening where the engine is really running on the rear...

With the dual carb setup, the bar connecting the two throttle shafts are at different distances from the pivot point, so the front carb will open faster than the rear carb the way it is setup, which may be what you want for slower tip-in, but then the lower rod would have to be able to slide...

Is the dual carb linkage correct, looks like the front will open quicker then the rear? If you open up the little hole that is in-front and a but lower of the current position, and use it to mount the throttle cable it will move the the throttle cable closer the the carb shaft/pivot, and give...

The combination of parts is pretty common: Performer RPM heads (84 cc chamber for the closed chamber heads) If the pistons are Keith Black, most likely the KB237 flat top, 8cc valve reliefs, 2.067 compression height? Fel-Pro Head gasket, 0.040" thick is about 9.9cc Block Deck height of 10.725"...

Sounds like your machine shop has you covered pretty well. The RPM intake is pretty tall, so i hope you have a hood scoop? From the general parts listed, I would guess around 10:1 compression and around 520 HP?
