Yes, you are correct, one of my MoPar buds modified a mid 70’s dual snorkel, probably twenty or more yrs ago. He was gifted an old unmarked, ruff, and incomplete 74 or 75 Monaco and part of the bb 400 remained. When he got into the trunk there were several air cleaners, several heads, among...
I really enjoy seeing photos of everyone’s rides, some of the nicest early B bodies I’ve seen are right here on FBBO. I thought I’d join the party and post a couple pics under the hood of my ‘63 Polara. A local machine shop owner and MoPar guru built this reliable 400 bb, it runs on pump gas...
I bet most everyone has a good dealership story lol....It’s a shame dealerships, among everything else has gone to hell....It’s funny how many times I find myself saying the same things my parents would say....

Ron, I hear you man, I too had a couple Ponchos, among a few others I wish I had back, a 71 Buick GS Stage I, ‘67 R/T, come to mind. I bought & sold my share of Fords & Chevrolets too with the help of my dad & grandpa, my plan was to save up buy a used Mope when I found the right one, my...
I found the photo while watching a moment of a documentary I was recording a few days ago, I took a break from working my ‘63 Polara transmission issue, (I posted about too), I walked in the house from the garage, and there’s the ‘63 Dodge 330 I suppose and the story of the most documented...
Sargent Lonnie Zamora was patrolling Highway #1 in Socorro, NM in April 1964 when he sees a large object flying above his patrol car. When he calls in to explain what he sees, the UFO begins to speed away and the Sargent gives chase. In order to keep up with the UFO, Sargent Zamora is driving...
thank you for your input, and sharing your knowledge. Yes, I do have a friend who has parts, trans, builds TF, etc, about 1.5 hours away. I appreciate your knowledge, and taking time to give input...let me explain the whole scenario, because this doesn’t happen every time I start off and the...
I have a 1963 Polara convertible. After two panic stops recently, I was seriously about order and convert the car’s brake system to either power front discs, (keeping the drum brakes in back), or just add a power booster to the drum brakes. My other concern was having the front wheels/tires off...
I am still working on this issue. I believe RonR hit upon the issue, the detent is not connected properly, I’m replacing the carb so after the 1st I will post findings, I appreciate it, I have learned a ton of shizz about early torque flights!
Thanks for weighing in....the pan off the transmission looks like new, no burnt fluid or smell the fluid was changed, but wasn’t really needed, filter/fluid was very clean no burnt fluid or smell, this issue only occurs after the car sits overnight and only happens during the very first shift of...
Thanks so much for your input...I wanted a car that would be a fun little burn a tire/blister it a little from the red light, but continue to be the interstate cruiser as well, but it has a 2.90 rear....probably great for highway but not as good ti piss off the local Mustang club lol..
Getting...
I’ve read every response, and I appreciate all the help! Ron H posted something that I remembered, (I’m replacing the damned carb or about to), the detent is hardly connected, a stud and clip was broken...it’s impossible to see with the air cleaner in place, but I will keep everyone posted on...
As always, I appreciate the awesome FBBO members sharing info, feedback, experiences and time...small details help solve many a issue with these heaps. It’s been around 15 years since I’ve been carburetor “shopping”, if you will, thanks again, Happy Holidays!
This ‘63 Polara has been a jump...
Once again, I’m digging up stuff that’s already been talked to death.....I believe buying a new Carburetor to sit atop the 400 bb in my ‘63 Polara will solve several issues.....Originally, the 400 was built for a ‘65 Coronet, however, my love for all things MoPar offered in ‘63, led me to a poly...
Joe Suchy sells a ton of early b body parts, he has them listed if they are USA made or not, the quality good or bad, and he is the nicest fellow on the planet....
Other than a few used pieces, Joe is the only one I have called on. Joe is patient, helpful, and don’t bs about anything, not to...
Yes sir, in a ‘67 R/T years and years ago, (I think my hair was still brown lol), I had a gov sticking issue, driving to Orlando....Now it was also this small little issue that I was scared to mess with, again, everyone was telling me to leave it alone, etc etc, you know how your car Bud gang...
