I agree with you but do you think the car set too low to tow. I think the tow guy was an idiot. The rims are new a gift from the wife as for cheap tires I replace them every five years as they start to crack but the tread is like new. Do you think I could crank the torson bars up a bit? How high...

The car is not modified see attached photos. The rear leaf springs are new and the car sits higher than it did with the old ones. What do you use instead of Teflon tape? The front tires are 215 60 14" (23.5" dia.) rear are 245 60 14 (24.5") not sure if these photos are attached correctly

I recently almost needed a tow for my 1973 Cuda due to a carb that was flooded because Teflon tape hung the float in the carb. I did not tow the car because the tow truck driver said my car was too low and he would damage the front or rear valance with the chain used to pull the car up the flat...

Thanks I'll contact her

1973 cuda, 3 speed motor

Does anyone know where I can buy a bushing that goes next to this clip for my wiper linkage? I bought a part from Year One their part # wb22 which is not the part I need. They told me that I have the less common linkage and do not have the part I need. The wiper linkage fell apart and I was...

I could not tell it was flooding until a got a second person to keep motor running while I looked at carb. The oil has been changed and hopefully no more tape will move. What are your thoughts on the cylinder look for the column should I just by local or are the ones from the...

A piece of Teflon tape got stuck in one of the needle and seats of carb and it was dumping fuel. This was from when I plumbed the fuel pressure gauge. That being said the cylinder lock in the column is sloppy and must be replaced. The local auto parts have them for $18 might be junk, not...

I ‘m having a problem with my car. These are the events in order as they occurred. A few weeks ago I took the car for a ride. It stalled in traffic and the battery was low from not being driven because it was at a friend’s garage where we did some recent work I could not get it started. Called...

any chance of getting a photo of your vent system?

The manual is the orginal one that came with the car. The rebuilder died two years ago. Based on what I find in the store the Dexroniii / Mercon is the closest blend to the orginal dexron so I guess that is what I will use to top of transmission. I just moved my car to a friends house who has...

The carb is new from last August and I had the same issue with the old one. The old carb had been rebuilt at least four times over the last 20 years and it was getting worn. The hoses at the fuel evaporator where replaced a while ago but are still in good shape. Changing the hoses did not...

1. I am replacing the steering box so I will need to add fluid. In the past I always used transmission flluid which was Dextron III. 2. I also need to add a pint of tranmission fluid to my transmission. In the past I would also use Dextron III which I cannot find anywhere. Dextron III-Mercon...

The car is road worthy and I drive the car a few times a month. Nothing is wrong with the transmission my problem is I can only find Dextron III/ Mercon instead of the plain Dextron III. My owner manual states to use Dextron. Can Dextron III/ Mercon be used to top off the transmission?. I may...

The tranmission has not been rebuilt recently it was rebuilt about 20 years ago but is about 1/2 a quart low. I have over the years put dextron 3 in it. The pan has a very very small leak due to a stripped bolt. This was built by Tom Chamberlin and is a full manual shift with a reverse shift...

What is the correct transmission fluid for a 1973 A727 transmission. (Todays blends) I will be replacing my steering box and in the past I would use transmission fluid can i still do this. In the past I used dextron III for both componets steering box and trannie? There are a lot of types of...

If the evaporation tank has a hole in what problem would that cause the smell or the fuel pressure issue? I only get the smell after a good ride, stonger smell in the summer. The car is in a garage and the garage never smells when the car is sitting. The factory rubber lines to the evaporation...

My guess this problem started 18 years ago after I removed the canister. Nothing has been changed other then the following which was done in the last year. 1. I removed the vacuum cap blocking the canister line and attached about 6’ of 3/8” line coiled it up and placed a fuel filter on the...

I have a 1973 Cuda that had a charcoal canister. The canister has been removed and the line was capped along the frame rail in the engine compartment. I believe that this has caused the following problems. 1.) When the fuel tank gets below ½ to ¼ tank I start to have a fuel problem which is...
