    Dual Exhaust or Big Single

    They did a episode of the Engine Masters TV show about this question. It was episode 60. They had a 430 hp small block and compared dual 2.5 in vs 3 inch single. The takeaways were, at that power level, muffler design and pipe merge design on the single exhaust made a bigger difference than...

    I also asked the sales person at steele if they had the door seal material they use on the two door parts in bulk, unfortunately they said they did not.

    Weatherstripping woes

    I just used steele rubber products 70-3256-72 on the rear hatch of my wagon. It fits well and seems to seal well. I have not tested it yet for water intrusion however.

    Dash pad removal

    I have unfortunately misplaced the invoice, but I do not believe that they charged a premium for other colors. There was a rather long lead time, months, to get the proper color material.

    K I am wanting to buy a newer used vehicle for a more modern engine/trans swap into my 79 volare' duster/roadrunner.

    Transmission crossmember was made of rectangular tubing and connected to the factory bolt holes. Floorpan stiffer was replaced with curved flat bar. A non mopar trans mount was used. See pics.

    K I am wanting to buy a newer used vehicle for a more modern engine/trans swap into my 79 volare' duster/roadrunner.

    My project is similar to what the original poster is considering. I chose a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500, 2wd, 5.9 Magnum. My reasoning for this choice was that the Magnum engine was a very close bolt in. The magnum engines have the same style mounting bosses as the LA engines although the LA style...

    Dash pad removal

    I had my dash pad recovered by ABC Moparts. I am very pleased with the results. They were able to match the original tan interior color. The original pad was sent and they used it as a color sample. See attached picture. I hope the forum finds this helpful.

    Weatherstripping woes

    Check out Steele Rubber products pn 70-3585-99 It looks just like the picture. I have not used it yet, but I found it while I was looking for the same parts for my project. I have also used self aheadsive foam tape from Ace hardware as a seal to keep out wind noise. I did not test it for water...

    Can I put the air assisted shocks in the back of my '88 5th?

    I ordered new custom leaf springs from Firm Feel for my Aspen in January. They included bushings. Firm feel also sell other suspension goodies too. They were 675 USD. It was about the same as having the springs re-arched including labor and shipping.

    Question: 4-speeds with consoles?

    I suggest looking at hamtramck-historical.com. They have scans of original dealer sales brochures and other literature like engineering feature brochures. The documents cover muscle cars as well as FMJ cars and trucks through the late 70s. I looked at that information, and it looks like the...

    Car covers

    I have one from covercraft. It was not cheap, but stood up to a few years of outdoor use. The cover is still useable, but the car is stored indoors now.

    F body heavy duty rad.

    The previous owner put a Be cool radiator in my car too. It had a 360 hp crate motor with a silly, 292 degree duration, cam. It was be cool 62016. I am not sure if they still sell this or list it for this application. It required different hoses and trans cooler lines. It also required adaptor...

    Window motor/gear rebuild

    Another member posted a thread on a method that worked for him. It is a sticky thread in the interior and electrical section. I have not tried it, but it seems interesting.

    Heater, AC, Fans Don't Work

    I looked at the wiring diagrams in the FSM. There are a few places to check for broken, frayed or poor connections. There is a fusible link that supplies the HVAC system through the ignition switch. It looks like one fusible link supplies only the HVAC system. There are several fusible links...

    Gear Vendors Unit

    The GV unit is basically a complete transmission that is attached to the existing transmission. The GV unit can be engaged with the existing transmission in any gear.

    Gear Vendors Unit

    I put a gear vendors unit in my B body about 15 years ago. No floor or cross member modifications were needed. It even worked with the console shifter. The drive shaft did need to be shortened and rebalanced at high speed. Also caution is needed to be sure the exhaust is routed far enough from...

    Window weather stripping

    I was looking around on the internet and found a company that advertises these parts for 2 door hard tops. It might be worth investigating if they could be made to work on a 4 door or wagon. This company also advertises some body gaskets, splash shields, and gaskets for tail light lenses. They...

    I use Amsoil Z rod oil in the appropriate viscosity grade. I do not drive the car alot. The Z rod oil has the ZDDP and an extra additive to prevent corrosion while the engine is not running. Amsoil also allows for once a year oil changes given my driving habits. And they have a distribution...
