    New speedo cable, new gear, etc but speedo still bouncing

    Good Luck Jim, dropping the steering column makes getting the speedo out MUCH easier. Let us know how it comes out. I'm particularly interested to hear if you have success with Halifax's method. I tried to clean and re-grease the 1st one I messed with by myself, but didn't have proper tools...

    New speedo cable, new gear, etc but speedo still bouncing

    Hey Jim, I've gone around with the bouncing speedo on a few E-bodies (all std cluster). Every time it has been the sludged up grease that used to lube the speedo movement. I've never tried the drill trick, but I would think the drill probably has more torque and acceleration behind it than the...

    What Ignition are people running?

    I run that setup. I believe you will be happy with it. Not the most cost effective, but support is great and that plate sure beats the snot about out of filling/filing the advance slots. In my experience Don will be quite conservative in his guidance, but he knows what he's up to, that is for...

    Steering wheel diameter?

    I run a 13" and it does block the gauges. If you can deal with that, you'll appreciate the smaller wheel for autox work.

    Windshield Glass - Questions and Best Sources?

    Safelite Autoglass did mine. Don't know the brand, but it is a nice piece. Same thickness as original. Tinted (AC car), and the band at the top is noticeably darker than original. Perfectly clear, no distortion. The guy told me it meets all current safety/durability standards. Windshield...

    High altitude radiator

    I'm in Denver as well. I run a large tube, three row stock style radiator that was in my car when I got it in 1988. The car has A/C and was originally sold in Arizona. The dealership paperwork I have indicates a "heavy duty cooling system upgrade" was installed at purchase. The tanks don't...

    Rallye Tach Updated Electronics???

    N/P. I'm confident you'll be happy with the end product. I know I am happy with mine. I'll be having him do my heater control as well when I get to that project.

    Rallye Tach Updated Electronics???

    Welcome - Mr Heaterbox and Interior Restoration Services This company does boards for just about all old mopars, and tach boards that work with MSD type systems. They rebuilt my std cluster, but I didn't need a board. Their electronic voltage limiter is a good piece, but not sure if it is...

    1974 Barracuda front seat belt upgrade help needed

    I used these: XV Racing Products 3-Point Retractable Belt-Bucket Seats- Black They work well enough. Easy install and whoever owns the company now provided good service. Be aware that on a 74 you may have to remove or bypass the seat belt interlock system if it is so equipped and has not...

    Heater Core Replacement for A/C Car going to Non-A/C

    To do a rotary compressor, Bouchillon has a bracket and if you source the condenser, compressor, hoses, dryer, etc. yourself (fleabay and amazon in my case). You can buy barrier hose and ends and plumb everything with more convenient routing. I have everything routed down the passenger side so...

    Any chance you'd part with a single trim ring?

    1971 Cuda 383 roller cam or flat tappet

    Since they are shaft mount, I don't think you'll have the lock nut problem with a street engine. There are ones available that will fit under the stock rocker cover. Your engine assembler will need to spend time making sure they are correctly shimmed for a proper wipe pattern throughout the...

    1971 Cuda 383 roller cam or flat tappet

    Also, for your cost considerations, you are restricted to below .500" lift on the cam lift, unless you get adjustable rockers. Note, that is the small block rule of thumb on lift, and I believe it goes for big blocks as well, but do confirm.

    74 Challenger Steering Coupler

    That is dangerous for sure. Easy to rebuild, be aware that your steering shaft is collapsible. That caused me some confusion when putting the newly rebuilt column back in the car. The shaft seemed to have shrunk a couple of inches when I went to reinstall. Makes it so you don't have to pull...

    72 Challenger grill surround molding clips

    Check this place: R/T Specialties - Mopar Fasteners, Clips&Hardware Website is OK, but a call will for sure get you what you want. Tom seems to know the thread pitch, grade and every other detail of every muscle era Mopar clip, fastener, etc. off the top of his head.

    TTI Exhaust... my experience

    Not to go too far off here, but I like rogue's info on the Headmans. With the Hooker 5115's, no interference with the fast ratio pitman, however the matching idler would not clear. I went the AAR-T/A route with the shorter idler. Other than that, even with the bigger tubes, they fit like a...

    TTI Exhaust... my experience

    I got a sweet deal on some 1 3/4 super comps, and was hesitant about going with a TTI system, as I wasn't sure it would be a good fit with someone else's headers. I was wrong, their adapters worked perfectly. I have never had such an easy install.

    The useless thread

    Had 6"+ in Denver proper this morning. I don't generally believe the weather forecasting around here and had intended to drive the Barracuda to work. Had to change my plans and take the grocery getter. '01 Bullitt. Had to turn the traction control off, even with snows installed. I fear for...
