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.

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...

A little too far gone?

Any Mopar 361 Fans on the forum? Let's see your vehicles and hear your stories. Should be a good opportunity for us to expand our knowledge of Mopar history. I hope to read some interesting responses. Thank you.

At minute 2:30 you will see a vehicle with two carburetors, a one barrel and a four barrel on the same engine! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Ye3mTMr30

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".

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...

Love these dyno room visits.

Anyone have experience with the second generation Dodge Challenger? I don't even remember 'em back when they were being sold new. https://www.hotcars.com/this-is-the-evolution-of-the-dodge-challenger/

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...

Video compilation.

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).

About 400 lb/ft torque.

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...

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.

I remember seeing this hose listed as a factory installation for our Mopars, but I can't remember where it is used. Anybody know for sure? Thank you.

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...

Very high-tech stuff

According to my initial investigation, cogged v-belts are superior (even draw less horsepower to drive)...

I enjoy reading about rare combinations, don't really remember anyone filling us in on the FBBO forum regarding a big block 361. Where are they and who has 'em out there? Thank you.
