Yes the outer part of the push rod on the front of the booster does. I am talking about the rod under the dash that attaches to the pedal. I had to change the pedal end and need to adjust it. I changed my Challenger from power to manual brakes and had to change the rod you are referring to a shorte...

How do I get the drag link off the pitman and or steering arm? I have removed nuts but A special tool? Beating? Thanks jim Leave the castellated nut on the tie rod end loose if you don't pickle fork it and just use a hammer, so you don't bugger up the threads if you go that route. And when you put ...

The pricing format at picknpull can be horrific. I found a p/s setup once and they wanted to price EVERY piece individually - each hose, each bracket, pump, each axle shim, drag link, cylinder, etc. It got so high for the "setup" that I walked away. I've done the same thing up here in Sac, their pr...

If you went as far as pulling the timing chain cover, I would change out the timing chain and sprockets too. A double chain set, cheap insurance for $40 or so. dodgeboykim has it right, the check valve isn't working properly probably or the diaphragm wasn't installed correctly or is cracked.....abou...

Just remember...nothing is free. It might have been a state truck, but they're usually orange and/or white for CalTrans and green for the Park Department for as long as I remember back then. If the plates are regular truck commercial plates then it's probably not a state truck or if the date stamped...

Checked, needle not stuck. Pump isn't sucking out of a container a foot away, I'm not seeing any pulses in the small amount of fuel in the filters. on the pump concentric, I didn't realize it was a separate part, I thought it was an integral cam lobe. So can I get to this through the front cover or...

Think I'll paint my engine like that....NOT! The can must have ran out of paint before the air cleaner and fan.

Can you send a picture of the ore side of your carb and motor? I have a 68' with 318 and need to figure out how the kickdown linkage is supposed to go on a two barrel setup. Thanks This how I did it, used a piece of mounting bracket from an Edlebrock carb, cut and drilled a hole so the Carter would...

And the timing chain after 45+ years or your missing a tooth of the cam gear, seen that many times. Nylon cam gears suck. Get a double chain timing set.

I'm in the middle of a Poly rebuild and during cylinder head disassembly I discovered that the rocker arm shafts are pretty beat up on the ends from somebody pounding on them BEFORE they removed the locking pins. Needless to say I had to grind the ends down to get them to slide out of the heads and...

I have a 72 dart and the hinge spring popped off the stop, how the heck do I get it back on??? Use a old factory jack handle, place the spring in the bottom retainer, run the jack handle though the upper spring eye and lever it on to the upper spring retainer.....carefully. Easier to do than 'splan...

Just saw the article about your car in the Hagerty magazine (http://www.hagerty.com/yourstories/2014/11/26/Mom-can-I-have-your-car20141126070209?utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_medium=email&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Hagerty%20Weekly%20News%2012-03-2014 )....Good job. Wish my Challenger was stil...

I'm also over on FABO and am into early-a's. The sweptlines are quite similar to early-a bodies in that they are polarizing (love em or hate em) and parts are difficult to find at times. I agree that this site is friendly and helpful like FABO. If you're looking for a sweptline, look in the northwe...

Thanks nytemuvr. I am actually native to Placerville. I have been contemplating this move for a couple of years. Once I looked into the cost of living and housing plus the lack of useless laws I pulled the trigger. The lack of traffic there helps too. A big benefit is my company is paying for the w...

Actually it's on the books here, but they don't inspect cars like they do up in the Great White North.

First bike I had was a '67 XLCH....backassward shifting SOB that went like hell....for back then.

Truck left on a carrier this morning from Placerville CA to Meridian ID its new home. I will be following it Friday. This is the first time its been out of the yard since I started working on it. I had the carrier driver drive it on the trailer and all went well but it was scary in the rain. transp...

I don't see a vacuum line attached to the choke diaphragm.

I was finally able to get a picture to link. Here is The Dude, Medium Green was posted as the color. We did a light green and that was still too dark. Does this picture help determine what the code would be for the 1970 D100? Thank you. Rick out Looks light Medium Green to me from this '68 brochure...

Those HF frames are made of pressed steel and are very flimsy, without significant mods to the frame assembly. I sold trailers for seven years, and wouldn't touch one of those with a 20-foot pole! Yes, a lot of people use them for a base teardrop build, but for less money, you can have a frame buil...
