    Brake Issues

    It's kind redundant having both. If the factory valve is OK, it won't hurt anything, but if it's bad, the like @Challenger RTA posted, it could be your problem. From my own experience, I've been shocked between the pedal height of a manual vs power brake system in Mopars. But "both stop on a...

    oil filter adapter

    I've used a remote oil filter (with two filters) on our circle track car years ago. Don't remember the brand, but it worked well. Keep in mind, our Mopar engine would last all season while the Chevies seemed to replace their engines every third or fourth race!!

    4th switch ideas

    I always wanted to use that for a button to fire a 30-06 machine gun!! 😜

    Parallel flow condenser quality and fitment

    I do know that the old R12 will get vent temperatures close to freezing (32°F)! I'm really lucky in my nearest town (I live in the boondocks!), I have a mechanics shop that is top notch with AC issues. And they are very fair in their pricing!

    Dash Harness - Classic Industries or Year One?

    Year One is good about standing behind their products. I think that's the reason some stuff costs more. But anyone making a dash harness should be pretty decent these days! If only we could talk Bill and Evie Evans (Evans Wiring) into making dash harnesses! But I can understand why they don't.

    Brake Issues

    I know no one wants to hear this, but we'd all be better off if we took the factory proportioning valve off and threw it in the trash! Install an adjustable positioning valve for the rear brake line and adjust it so the rear brakes lock up AFTER the front and be done with it! Oh, you lose the...

    Riser block rear suspension???

    Yes, SS springs were used for roundy rounders too! And you want a little more weight on the inside. Regardless, everyone is spot on about making the front ride height the same by adjusting the torsion bars. That will definitely help out the rear.

    Drip rails and window seals

    Sorry, I took those pictures this morning, so no photos without the mouldings. It's kind of a long post, but check out Don Selleck's "AAR Resto" as there are a ton of photos in there!

    OIL PUMP GASKET YES OR NO

    I've seen small blocks with them and without them from the factory. Since you're having trouble finding one, make sure both surfaces (pump and rear main cap) are smooth and install the pump without a gasket. It's inside the motor, so any small leak isn't going to affect anything without a...

    Engine mounting bracket.

    $200 is actually a good deal! So grab it! You can actually fabricate a 340/360 mount out of a 318 mount by adding a triangle piece of metal with a hole drilled in it, but I'd just buy the $200 one and move on to the next item.

    New Member from Florida's Space Coast

    Welcome to FEBO from the desert! A 426 Hemi will fit fine in a 72/73 E-Body! Best to weld a skid plate to the k-frame as the 6 quart Hemi pan rides a little lower. Plus bigger torsion bars are best unless you are only drag racing it! 😁

    Drip rails and window seals

    Here's drip rail mouldings on my 71 Barracuda. They have never been removed as far as I know. please ignore the dust and cat hair! Dust in the desert and cat hair is much better than mice and rat poop.

    Mopar Engine Ruggedness

    I figure my 5.2 (318) in my Dakota will last a lot longer because I have a new 5.9 (360) ready to drop in it's place. That seems to be how it works, have a spare and the originally keeps going! Get rid of the spare, it breaks the next week!

    Flock cameras.....BAD

    I'm totally against all big brother surveillance. It's just so big now, that these Flock cameras are just icing on the cake. I will be contacting my local federal representative, but my senators and governor are the result of major voter fraud in Maricopa County and do not and will not represent...

    Upper Control Arms and Lower Steering Parts

    I'm kinda of a tightwad when it comes to parts for a running driving car. I'd just install new boots, add some lube and drive her! Otherwise you can go down the rabbit hole of swapping to aftermarket tubular upper control arms to give you more caster and camber. Switching to the beefy "C-Body"...

    Headliner Hole Locations

    Assuming your headliner is installed, with the aid of the picture posted by @Juan Veldez use a tiny threading needle to locate the coat hook hole to the rear of that big squarish factory hole.
