    Electric Life power window regulator conversion kit

    Mopar style switches are now repro'd. That's also caused OEM prices to drop.

    70 Superbee Center Hub Too Short

    The "Magnum 500" argument in this thread is to illustrate that cars with those wheels are not only "lug centered" but also "lug weight bearing".

    70 Superbee Center Hub Too Short

    The shoulder of the lug stud (x5) also supports the weight. It should be relatively easy to find that five 1/2 inch bolts of grade 8 or what ever the studs are rated at are indeed strong enough to support 1/4 of the weight of the car, and the associated stresses and torques. The threaded area...

    70 Superbee Center Hub Too Short

    I wouldn't worry about the hub center. I would however, be concerned that the lug stud shoulder, small as it is, is not present for the lug holes on the rim to ride on. Therefore, the rim is riding on the threaded portion.

    The Roach

    Isn't someone making a wheel that looks like those hub caps now?

    The Roach

    Looks like a relatively unmolested "survivor" type vehicle to me. Just the way I like to find them.

    Yankee Express RestoMod Project

    At first I thought you deepend the scallops and thought that was cool. ...but you made them functional. That's cool-er. ...and I was ready to not like the stripes...but it kind of gives it an altered wheelbase vibe. Very interesting.

    318 Intake and Carb Advice

    The trade off with the TQ vs the AFB/AVS is the maintenance. There's almost nothing inside the AFB/AVS, making it super easy to disassemble, clean and adjust, plus the rods and jets are available new. While the TQ offers smaller primaries and potentially huge secondaries, note that most of the...

    Yankee Express RestoMod Project

    I've always just run the pan but... There is an issue with potential leakage- usually on the bottom side somewhere. Oil wicks out and ends up pooled in the middle of the pan. Hard to track down. Most builds I've seen in the past few years show them using those side gaskets. IDK. I've never...

    318 Intake and Carb Advice

    Easy answer- Edelbrock Performer 318/360 and Edelbrock 500-650 CFM AFB or AVS, the AVS being the more versatile and economical. Buy them new today for under $1000, or hold out to find them at swap meets, or here for several hundred less. Very common parts.

    B Bodies and Road Courses - My Super Bee Setup

    There are some curvy roads around lakes where I live, some with close to each other 90 degree sections. "Back in the day" (circa 1988-91) with 70 series 14" radials on the front and L or M 60 bias 15" on the back and 3.55 sure grip in my 70 Super Bee, I could out handle brand new mustang GT's...

    Looks like you might be over the hump! Is that a wooden wheel it's resting on? Interesting solution.

    1971 bench seat to bucket conversion

    How tall are you and where is the height? I'm 6'3" with a long spine. I barely fit in a factory bucket car with factory brackets, and that's after I remove the factory 3/8" spacers from under the tracks. I've even contemplated swapping parts of bench seat tracks into the outboards to gain an...

    PST delrin bushed upper control arms ?Greasable pivot bush ?

    Delrin is an engineering plastic similar to nylon or acetal. It is moderately self-lubricating. The most common application I can think of, believe it or not- is model train freight car trucks. They can take a sharply pointed metal axle turning in them for decades without perceivable wear...

    Sway bars....Solid VS Hollow

    Agree (and thanks) on HT413's "center of bar/tube is less significant" explanation but believe the word "bar" in the last paragraph should be "tube".

    66/67 Charger wheel opening on 66/67 Coronet

    I agree with post #4 The roof line and wheel well opening work together on the Charger. I personally LOVE the 66/67 Coronet roof line but it does make the top of the quarter look too narrow and exaggerated with the big opening of the Charger wheel well. @AJReigart - I'm slooowly building a...
