What did you do to your Mopar today?

[Charles Cook]

I pumped my brake pedal 6 or 8 times held it, my buddy said pump it up again, I did and he said ok hold it, alright pump it up again, and after doing this on all 4 wheels I had something my car hasn’t had in 20 years. BRAKES !!!

 

[Charles Cook]

All my brake lines, trans. lines, and fuel lines came from Right Stuff and everything was perfect.

After cutting the caps for my 340 stroker engine (going in my 73 Road Runner, my first car I ever owned), I finally was able to align hone them to get them to the proper size.

The spec for a 340 main journal is 2.6925" to 2.6930". In other words, only 5 ten thousands of an inch!

I cut the caps until they were about .001" under the minimum spec. I screwed one up and it was under by almost .002". When we align honed them, we kept checking each cap. When any cap reached .0003" under minimum, we loosened the cap so it would not get honed any more. My screwed up cap was the last one to get honed down to about 0.0003". Then they were all about the same and the final honing was completed to get them in spec.

Let me tell you - this is a LOT of work, and I have newfound respect for machine shops that get these things spot on to where they are supposed to be. It is time consuming and very detailed work to get everything perfect!

Hey Hawk I sent the sway parts out Tuesday, so you get them soon. I’m getting the things together now for SureGrip.

I gave my car its monthly start up before the snow storm that's coming.

I drove the hell out of it before the storm today, sorry no pics but it was nice!
I did get a bit of rain before i got home but slippery roads remind me of the dirt roads i used to slide down seemingly forever.
how many of you guys did that before these cars where considered valuable?

Coming out.

 

[BDF6]

Vacuumed it. Washed it. Told it what a great old car it is & apologised for leaving it dirty for so long. Yeah, I talk to it.
Then I drove it & let it do the things it likes to do.

 

[Jack Luckhowec]

Made good progress on the trunk floor replacement; almost done.

That looks like solid work.

Anyway, I thought about driving mine, but decided against it...

 

[6PKRTSE]

Wrapped up the 440 with EFI for my teenage Son's 70 Charger and the mildly built 383 for the 70 Roached Runner.

 

[Larrry B.]

Drove it last night for a short cruise around the neighborhood.

 

[64BEL]

Great pic, Larry!

 

[Car #4]

Removed the exhaust tips on the Charger because a PO put the wrong ones on and welded them on even! Tomorrow I'll work on installing the new ones which will need some modification. Could have done it all today but why rush things, I have all winter.

Put my Satellite back on jack stands. Ready to crawl under it to fix exhaust leak. Might have to cut H-pipe a few inches from flare. Flare did seem right but I'll see.
