    Are You Using Synthetic Oil?

    I just read online that the current synthetic oils on the market no longer pose a threat to rubber seals like in the past. Makes me consider synthetic oils for my three classic Mopars. But I have not yet shopped around to find if it would be beneficial economically.

    Best Max Engine Timeing During Camshaft Break-in Run?

    I used to set my small block bracket racer with 35 degrees total timing (with vacuum advance disconnected). Now I wonder where to set the timing when first starting a re-build which would be a 2,000 - 3,000 rpm fast idle? And would that be set with or without distributor vacuum advance hose...

    My parents purchased a new 1962 Chrysler New Yorker Station Wagon with what I believe was equipped with the 413 V-8 they called the "Firepower 340".

    Power Steering Belt Flying Off!

    Re: my stock 318 Satellite Sebring Plus (1972) with power steering--Some time ago my power steering belt came off for no apparent reason. I recovered it and found it was turned inside out. I put the same belt back on, but within 5 minutes it flies off again twice now. Is there a problem with a...

    How Were New Vehicle Orders Developed?

    I understand a customer special ordering a new vehicle to his/her liking. However, who decides and puts together all the equipment/options/colors of all those millions of vehicles that just roll off the assembly line without having been adopted beforehand by someone? I guess the same question...

    Is This a Factory Spring?

    Found this on my '65 Barracuda where a previous owner swapped in a later 8 3/4 open differential. If it's factory, what was it used for? If not, I wonder what it's doing here? Thank you. (also posted on FABO).

    Calling All Cars ... Calling All Cars (383 RR's that is)

    My parents purchased a new (special order) 1971 Plymouth Road Runner 383 Torqueflite. No one in our family was a big camera buff, so no pictures of it when new (was Bahama Yellow with black canopy vinyl roof). I see this combination getting dumped over and over again for something "bigger and...

    Your Dirtiest, Greasiest Piece/Part?

    For me it's always the transmission crossmember. Get out the putty knife, razor blade, screwdriver, every heavy duty cleaning aid but the hammer & chisel. Makes me want to invest in a power washer some day.

    The Keys to Engine Longevity

    We have two six cylinder, 4.0 liter, Jeep Cherokee's ('92 and '01) which are both high mileage and still running strong. What is the secret to their long-life? I can think of a couple of things. Number one would be the ratio of main bearings to cylinders-more support and more rigidity. Number...
