    Paint color coverage..good vs bad ?

    Seems when I spray most any silver, I have the most left over when I quit.

    What brand control arm bushings?

    Ive never had an issue with genuine Moog parts but understand the Chinamanese junk copies are getting much better, even the boxes are looking perfect. I see better prices on line but stay with the local parts stores thinking they are more likely the real deal. Can y'all spot the imitators ....

    Bad fuel messed up valves?

    Hawk, I done the same thing. Pulled old gas out of a car and put it in my Kolher twin motor on my zero turn. SOON, I was down to one cylinder. Seems detonation set in and I lost a pushrod down in crankcase. It's still there. Ok, here's how i see it. Old gas will run, just poorly, maybe causing...

    What brand fan/alt belts are you guys using?

    Next time you're at Auto Zone ask if the Duralast brand is made by Dayco, I think they are, or once were.

    What brand fan/alt belts are you guys using?

    I buy Dayco every time if possible. Once owned stock in the company. At one time, maybe still, they made 75% of OEM belts used on new autos thru out the world. And they make a lot of belts sold under different name brands. We know Walmart sells a lot of its name brand items that are made by top...

    Sad day for my 69 B convertible

    I was coming home one Sunday night with my two small kids when my last timing chain in use, broke. I was able to coast into my driveway. I was so lucky with that. So, getting yours home safely is a blessing. I learned anything man made will break, bust, wear out and will need replacing in time...

    Radio Speakers Impedence

    In the old days most all aftermarket speakers for autos were 4 ohm. And then more radios/receivers for cars/truck/boats were being made with 8 ohm outputs. I think most OEM radios in the 60s and 70s were 10 ohms, in general. You need the speaker ohms to match your radio output ohm requirements.

    Rant: I hate chrysler

    I had a ball with some German motors and a few cars in my younger days. My ex father in law had a non factory associated Volkswagen business. He sold parts , bodies, frames, engines, trannys for racing and street VWs with the standard air cooled four cylinders. He designed his own cams in which...

    Rant: I hate chrysler

    Number one tool needed when piddling with our old cars is patience. You can get by with very little on a lot of jobs but sooner or later a job is going to call for a lot of it. I have seen a mechanic get so mad at the bucket of bolts , engine he was working on that he slung his ratchet clear...

    Degreasers

    That would be simple enough to do if that is desired. No doubt, hot water is a big plus in cutting grease. The top line industrial pressure washers have gas or electric heating units to cook up the water temps. Hot water costs more than cold....how much do you want to spend.....

    Degreasers

    My number one degreaser is the Purple Stuff , Walmart has it in the 2 1/2 gallon jugs. It is water soluble , so, spray it on, scrub with a brush if needed and rinse off with the water hose. It will not kill the grass. I try to keep it off my hands as it WILL pull the oil out of your skin.

    73 driveshaft questions....

    Update for those also needing a new driveshaft. I did indeed place an order from Dennys. Heres how it works if you have never done a mail order. Go on their website and print one of their measuring diagrams for your car. Mopars usually fall into the B diagram. It explains HOW you are to take...

    73 driveshaft questions....

    Guys, its time to buy or have built a driveshaft for my 73 and I am wanting to know what is needed. My 72 904 car has a original driveshaft with a big counter weight as part of the driveshaft. Is that weight needed for my 73, 440 with A833 to an 8 3/4 rear. In the photo are two shafts that I...

    Should I remove Air Conditioning?

    I have spent a small fortune finding and replacing "items" a previous owner decided the car didn't need. If its original to the car, but doesn't work or you don't want to fix it, leave it alone. It costs you nothing to sit there. And the next owner down thru the years to come may just want to...

    Cost to ship a bumper

    A fellow member here GAVE me a rear bumper for my 73 that needed rechroming. He was on the west coast and shipping to me on the east coast was a little over a $100 bucks. Cost me $500 to rechrome. I could have bought an AMD repop and had it shipped for $450 at the time....but I wanted original...
