I will put the shorter one at the front. Seems like this would be better since that is where the interior roofline starts to curve and I think it will be easier to stow the strap that way.

This is 72 model with bucket seats. Old headliner remains are still sandwiched between the bracket and the clip. I have removed the plastic cover from the clip so the bracket could be separated from the clip. These are the original clips from this car.

Getting ready to install headliner. Looks like the shoulder belt clip brackets need to go on before headliner. Two of my Clips are larger than the other two. These are the originals from this car. I did not remove them. Does it matter which is front or rear clip? I compared to the holes in the...

Yes, I think a different system like Lokar would be better in the long run.

Anyone using the Street Demon carb? I am swapping out a TQ. Street Demon not matching up with kickdown very well. I believe the linkage I have is stock for 72 model small block with 727 and TQ. No linkage problems with TQ. I am using the throttle stud from TQ and got the Chrysler throttle...

Mopars at Battleship Park in Mobile, AL, April 28-29 2023. Google search Moparfest at the Battleship for latest info.

Had mine done at Just Dashes. Very happy with it. I had them fill and cover the big speaker opening too.

These were changed many years ago and the old 3.23 gears were thrown out with other seemingly useless stuff that I didn't want to keep moving. Yes it would be nice to have two set ups since they are easy enough to swap and I like the acceleration that I have but there is a lot of highway...

Hi everyone, first I want to thank everyone for all the helpful comments over the years and the shared interest in our old Mopars. I am wanting to change out the 3.91 gears that I had installed many years ago for 3.23 which is a better match for my needs these days. I want to be sure I get the...

Has anyone replaced the springs in the hood safety latch and the release lever? It would be great if someone has documented how they did this. Can probably figure out if I can find the springs. Mine have broken and looks like the pivot pin needs to be cut off on end in order to remove/replace.

There's a Moparfest in Mobile at the Battleship. Info is at this link: https://www.bigeasymopar.org/moparfest-battleship/ or search for moparfest-battleship.

I ordered a new bracket when I started on this reincarnation to be sure I have the right one I got the correct kickdown rod too. All that seems to match the drawing except my cable has so much bend it reaches to the distributor. If the cables are all the same I will remove/lube/reinstall...

I have a '72 small block/727/Thermoquad setup that I am trying to refine. I seems like there is too much accelerator cable length in engine compartment causing it to bind which requires a lot of spring tension for carb throttle bracket to rest on idle adj screw consistently. There is quite a...

No I don't even see it. It is either not there or it is broken off and not visible.

Ok, thanks. I will try a little harder and find a spare also.
