If your trying to save the gauge, rather that risk damaging it further, you might consider cutting the line then add a connector away from gauge. :thinking Thanks. While I am not worried about the guage its coming off of, its the line I am more concerned about. I worked on it again yesterday for a ...

yep.. tried the vice grip technique... still a no go and a little more damage... thanks though !

Any one have a slick trick to removeing the oil pressure guage line off the guage ???? The brass fitting is seized into the other brass fitting. Seems were just rounding off the fitting. We have added penetrant to it but still not budging. Any ideas ?

Was at the local car show this weekend and a fellow member cuaght up to me as he recognized the Sweptline t-shirt I was wearing. It was nice to meet "440Scout" for a few minutes. He was with one of the cars at the show so he was just visting the area. Thanks for grabbing me and sayin "hi" Scout ! -S...

Well thats just it.... the 440 was put in the truck years ago when prices were not so devistating. I am just reviving the old beast so that it doesnt sit rotting anymore. I will definately be spending fuel money because I am just going to have to drive that truck !

Horrific !!!

Well my first project is a car I have had since a junior in high school.... 22 years ago. I am almost "finished" (is that really a word when working on cars) with the Duster. Some of you may have seen it elsewhere. Thought I would put up some pics for some of you Mopar hounds. http://i12.photobucket...

I got a 2008 Dodge Avenger now thats getting around 34 in city and 37 on highway.... that works....gutless...but works. I also have a 1990 Toyota pickup 2wd...

Just love reading all the jazz about how high fuel prices "could" get. Not like the prices arn't bad enough already. I figure I must be a pretty dedicated old car and truck enthusiest to be bringing a old 440 back to life that gets maybe 10 mpg... ha ha... and my hot rod Plymouth Duster that gets ar...

I got 20 year old blue streak 36" long glass packs on our 440... sounds like a garbage truck doing 50mph in 1st gear. LOL.... so yeah this thread is helpful in us making a new muffler decision as well... thanks for all the input.

Stones hurt like nothing else. I have passed many of them and well.... been lucky enough to be able to pass them. I am to the point now when I know it is coming down the line so I load up on pain killers. There are soooo many things that can cause them... including heredity. I am finding.... i think...
