    408 W2 Stroker Build

    This update here is about the other 'winter project', that being the installation of the remote oil filter setup. Here is the BOM (Bill of Materials): 1) Remote filter kit - Derale #15715 KIT, Engine block & oil filter adapters, routing lines, 1/2" NPT ports, 3/4-16" engine oil thread, 1/2"...

    408 W2 Stroker Build

    So a couple of different updates, one that is way past due - as in it should have been the End-of-Season-2025 update regarding the running rich problems I was describing above. In that case, what it actually turned out to be is very simple: the Lokar linkage setup I have here (which uses some...

    Just scored a 78 Diplomat wagon.

    Holy smokes man...that's the Holy Grail of M-Body Mopar world (lol, well, for this wagon nerd here at least - my daily driver for ohhh about 15 yrs. was a 2006 Mazda6 wagon). Anyways, sweet find...how the heck did you score this gem?

    Brake Boosters

    Thanks for all the quick feedback you guys!!! (this forum ROCKS man) OK, so it turns out the booster is still good, no vacuum leak although I did find a good tear in the one-way valve, so I replaced that just to be sure. Otherwise, what led me down this path seems to be carb/ignition related...

    Exhaust

    May I make a suggestion? There are plenty, and I mean massive amounts, of discussions on our forum regarding what you are asking. Have a go at it: SEARCH is your friend. The short of it: long tubes will work fine, you need to deal with standard things like steering centerlink, etc., or if your...

    Brake Boosters

    I realize it's been a couple of years now since you did this, but I suspect my dual chamber booster may have gone bad and am looking for an alternative since the one I have now is no longer available. Do you still have the part# available? Can you post please? Anything else to prepare for in...

    1980 Volare Cop Car

    Hmm...so how do you intend on fixing that? I ask b/c: to stop the leak you could simply patch up with something as trivial as JBWeld...seriously, if the stuff held up so far as a fix to me breaking through on the pushrod pinch area of my W2 intake port, then I can't imagine why it couldn't hold...

    Front Power Window Motor

    My friend...you ARE in luck!!! OK, so I'm heading to Poland (Gdansk and then Krakow) on Aug-20th...this little assortment of parts is just a "little bag" of stuff...so I honestly do not see this as being a massive undertaking (as in: you can pick it up if it's worth your time, or I ship it out...

    Front Power Window Motor

    So the box of window motors is finally heading down LSM360's way, in the meantime, if anyone needs any of the remaining parts (wiring or the switches) let me know please: "free to a good home", LOL, shipping is your cost! ...else I'm going to just toss these out, and I absolutely hate the...

    Sparta Dragway - WOMO Event

    Haven't heard anyone mention it, but today was the WOMO Weekend at the Sparta Dragway just a little south of St.Thomas, which is a little south of London, ON! My buddy and I went, didn't bring my Coupe as the remote oil filter install is still not finished, so we were pure spectators. There...

    Fuel Vapor Return Line Removal

    So I'm thinking you are talking about the tank=>vapor canister, yes? I would say keep that in place, and even if you remove the canister (which we all agree is ecologically bad - not judging, just saying) you still need a way to vent the fuel tank. Now having said that, our OEM fuel tank gas...

    Front Power Window Motor

    Late to the party (again...sigh), but I've got this box of (as best as I can tell COMPLETE) door power window strip-down off of a '82 New Yorker (Canadian M-body). Take a look at the pics...I held onto this b/c it all looked to be in good shape, the stuff was working (but that's like at least...

    this is what i'm busy with

    Brake or transmission, or??? Any damage (to the car) beyond the line failure itself? ...also: what specifically failed? Line itself (split?), fitting, flare, etc? I'm curious, that's all...

    Headers

    Dude, "the pleasure is all mine" as they say, always happy to help a fellow Mopar enthusiast! Come to think of it, I feel like I owe someone else on our site something...grrhhh...if you ARE that person shoot me a msg to remind me please...I want to say it was one of these "I think I have one...

    Firm Feel feedback

    Larry, is your issue similar/same to what I had ran into with mine? => NEW Torsion Bar Install Beyond that, I will say this: I was disappointed with what seemed like a "well, that ball is in your court now" approach/attitude that FF took with my inquiry re: those problems that I ran into...

    Headers

    I wish this was a couple of years ago...I had a 'still in the box' Headman tubes here...listed on both Kijiji and eBag for months...NO interest...practically had to beg for someone to pick 'em up...eventually they sold for $150 CAD if I remember correctly (LOL)!

    value?

    I don't know what a "8.8" rear is (did you me 8-3/4? or are you talking Ford?), but even the gearing itself has to be matched up with the remaining powertrain/drivetrain combination. So what shape is the ride in? What shape is the motor/powertrain in? Love the idea of 'T-tops', but I'm...

    Coolant leak

    Can't say I have...but I will say this: a picture is worth a thousand words...right? See that coolant pooling on top of the intake manifold and head mating space? Yup, you can tell it's weeping it's way into that area. Alright...so that's an interesting situation. I assume you torqued the...

    Race Car for sale

    Given the curve in the rear body line/fender area I suspect this is either '78 or '79...well, bumper is a more immediate give-away, but that can be changed much more easily!

    Headers

    Wow...you don't say...b/c you know, I would never accept a used Hooker in a poor-shape!

    Headers

    I have used three separate header products: 1) Headman (78050) - that's basically your bare essentials 2) Hooker (5901) - these I still have, overall better build, thicker flanges and pipes I believe, I got these ceramic coated 3) TTI (340BEW2-17835C0) - that's my W2 stuff, the only one that...

    1989 Fifth Avenue Dual Exhaust setup.

    Thanks man...but seriously, I had no idea just how much MORE heat the TTI 1-7/8" tubes were actually going to put out...HOT indeed!

    1989 Fifth Avenue Dual Exhaust setup.

    LOL...yeah, I get the "weird" part of it...but it works for me. To answer your question: NOPE, absolutely no rubbing, no touching, none of that stuff. Consider that I am also running 5-leaf spring packs and the massive MP 1" rear sway bar. But I will say this: that's a 3" diameter pipe, and...

    1989 Fifth Avenue Dual Exhaust setup.

    Are you dead set on having a factory-like setup? (that being the tailpipes coming out under the bumper) If not 100% sure, consider the alternative, that being: dump the pipes out right behind the rear wheels. You can enjoy the "engine music" a lot more (right behind your ears with the windows...
