    FMJ with Super Stock springs

    Not too concerned with ride or handling right now as the hope is to duplicate "old school " street car stuff like the 70's. Guess that dates me a bit, but at my age both may still become an issue ! LOL!! The Right hanger is in the pictures as well as the clearance notch in the gusset. As I said...

    FMJ with Super Stock springs

    The Mancini front hangers combined with "G Body" springs fit my Aspen perfectly with no mods. I have replaced the 8 1/4 " rear axle with an 8 3/4" and eliminated the rubber iso suspension but I don't believe the distances were effected. This advice came from "Professor Fate " from here and was...

    Muffler clearance.

    Tail pipes are the next plan. Needed to get these in place to measure the lengths and bends first. Thanks !!

    Muffler clearance.

    Alright folks. I hate to pose a problem and not follow up with a solution, so here goes ! Hedman Headers sells " Header X-Tensions that solve the interference issue with an S bend. The ones I needed , (part # 18701), are 23" long and fit perfectly. They are also available in varying lengths so...

    Muffler clearance.

    I appreciate the input , thanks ! Was just concerned about possibly damaging the "glass pack" insert. Shouldn't take much to create the clearance needed. Thanks again !!

    Muffler clearance.

    I purchased a pair of header mufflers and found that the left one doesn't fit correctly on the header flange due to a very small interference with the floor reinforcement on my Aspen RT. Considering bending the inlet pipe or possibly creating a small dent in the muffler case to solve the issue...

    Hood Scoop ??.⁶

    Thanks for the positive response. I really like the look myself. Had the same scoop on my race car, (Charger) , in the 70's. That one was sealed to the hood , but we'll see where this one goes. Racing "Super Stock " on weekends was long ago! LOL!!!

    Gave that some thought. Haven't quite figured it out yet. Right now just admiring how good it came out.

    Hood Scoop ??.⁶

    9SECRR , Thank you for the pictures and the great advice. The whole project went well thanks to you telling me to not worry about the reinforcements. I didn't expect the engine center to be slightly right and I'm still not sold on moulding tape holding it on , but we'll see what happens. Again...

    Hood Scoop ??.⁶

    I'm intending to spend tomorrow installing a "Ramchargers Hood Scoop" on my 79 Aspen RT. I recently noticed a rather elaborate network of bracing on the bottom of the hood near wear the hole has to be cut. Is there anything I need to know or watch out for? Obviously body work is not my strong...

    1988 Chrysler 5th all original Surging Help Please

    You didn't mention which engine you have. The carburetors are completely different between them. I do remember my time in a Dodge dealer that Carter BBDs on 318s were notorious for this issue and repaired by Richening the metering rods, adjusting them slightly higher. Consult your service...

    Headers are "Flow Tech" from holley.

    360 Oil Filters ?

    I believe the 3.66" number refers to the filter diameter, same as the Mopar filter. That's where the problem is getting it in. Need smaller diameter, length is less critical. Everything else seems fine. Thankyou !!!

    360 Oil Filters ?

    First off thankyou to everyone for your responses and advice. One of the first posts mentioned a Fram #PH3600. I'm not a big fan of Fram, but having Wal-Mart close by it seemed like a safe gamble for $4.00. Fit fine and now I have a good place to start. I also liked the later post about a...

    360 Oil Filters ?

    The filter boss is still OE and perpendicular to the block. Truth be known though the filter won't clear the header tubes to get anywhere near it. If it would there'd be plenty of room to attach it.

    360 Oil Filters ?

    I recently got the 360 off my engine stand and installed in my 79 Aspen RT. The instructions supplied with the new headers say to remove the oil filter for installation clearance. Seemed simple enough until tried to install one. The Mopar Oil Filter at 3 1/2 " diameter won't fit between the...

    Aspen RT coming soon.

    Alright guys and gals, as promised some updates and photos of progress. Rear axle and suspension is in. Interior is complete and I spent today installing the fresh 360.727 trans goes in tomorrow and should be in motion soon !(I hope !) Still need to measure and source a driveshaft to tie it all...

    Swap sears to buckets.

    Okay gentlemen , as promised here's the solution. 1&1/4 box tubing available at "Home Depot" , 1&1/4 square furniture leg finishers available at any hardware store as well as plain old 5/16 " nuts and bolts to hold it all together. 1 bracket stacked for the passenger side to allow for the floor...
