Took the Mistress out for the last ride of the year in November of last year. The ride was great, so I thought. A day later there was a strong odor of gas and a puddle of gas behind the passengers rear tire right where the fuel return line enters the rear frame rail. I thought that was odd, it...
Hello Katfish
I ordered the expansion valve from E-bay. Classic auto air also sells one. The price was more not including shipping. The E-bay one was cheaper including the shipping. The link is below for the one I bought and who I bought it from.

I had to go down this exact route with my Barracuda. I had my original heater box/evaporator rebuilt many years ago before Vintage air etc. were around so I did not want to spend that money again. My car was a 318 and now a 440 6bbrl so I could not use the RV2 style compressor. I upgraded to a...
My advice to making any holes for visors, seat belt holes etc. is to take lots of pictures before installing the headliner. Add making tape with measurements and arrows showing from where you measured, then take the picture. When you need to make any holes, don't use a razor, use a soldering...
Doesn't the steering column separate just below the directional? There are 3 philips head screws and that section comes off. They you can add the plug intact and snake it down the column. I don't remember disconnecting my wires from the plug when I reinstalled the cruise control/directional switch.
Try this website. James at Detroit Muscle Technologies is a great guy and I have had no problem with anything I have bought from him. They may have it. Email or call them if you can't find it online.

If the problem occurred right after the pitman arm was replaced, I would look there first. You may have over tightened the bolt that attaches it to the subframe. If I remember correctly, I think my pitman arm had a sleeve inside the rubber and would only tighten to the length of the sleeve. I...
Cars with A/C had a rubber seal that would partially close that gap. You could add some sheet style rubber cut into a strip and then wrap the larger opening to close that gap which would increase the defroster air flow. If you do add some rubber, only attach it to the upper or lower piece and...
The line that goes through the firewall to the engine is connected at the rear of the intake manifold. There should be a vacuum fitting threaded into the manifold facing the firewall with a port for the heater box vacuum. If you have power brakes then there will be two ports on the vacuum fitting.
A little late but.......Welcome to the site from Massachusetts! I look forward to seeing some pics of you ride. Always good information and good people here.
I read that you are going to install the headliner so I would definitely buy the handheld steamer from Harbor Freight. My buddy and I spent a lot of time getting every wrinkle out of the headliner and then we used the steam on one spot we couldn't get unwrinkled. Guess what, the steam took that...
No, I can't really hear the front speakers unless the car is off. Had I known that, I probably would have not spent any money on speakers for the front. I also do not have an amplified system.
I bought a hand held steamer unit from Harbor Freight that helped with relaxing my carpet and headliner. They are cheap and worth it. I would not use any direct heat from above (like a heat lamp) because you may melt the carpet fibers by mistake.
I have a 3 speaker dash also and my speakers were dry rotted. So I bought speakers that I thought would fit, they didn't. Mostly the problem is the size of the magnets on the back of new speakers. The original speaker magnets are small. The new speakers were also to tall for the speaker grills...
This is what I would build to move the car around. I made similar dolly for the front of my car. I bought large casters from Harbor Freight and some metal from a local metal shop, welded it together and it worked great. These dollies for the rear of the car bolt to the rear leaf spring front...
