Ok, success after a long weekend of tinkering. The trans is back together, pinon bearing replaced, and I fixed that pesky oil leak by throwing away the spin on oil filter adapter and putting on a...

Wow, that's a beautiful car. Wish I had room; you can never have too many old Mopars.

Wow, that sucks. Good thing it didn't bust into flame.

At least I still had the parts to go back in it; I threw most of the old parts away away I got it together but these were sitting in a box on the bench. Also noticed my pinion bearing is bad when I...

So I read that your transmission governor works better if you remember to put the guts back in it BEFORE your put the transmission together. DOH!:CRY:

Looks like some cool stuff, I might try to get there.

Drat, my transmission will not upshift out of first gear. Everything points to it being the governor hanging up so I guess I'll have to pull...

Auction in Bethany? I haven't heard about it; do tell.

Thanks! Yep, those old Mopar starters have a sound all their own.

I took it down the road today and other than the shift cable needing some adjusting it did pretty well. Also not sure if this radiator is going to be big enough; it was a replacement for a 6 cylinder...

Yahhhh, don't say that!!!! No more babies for us, we're in our 50s and my jewels got snipped long ago!

I hoping to wrap up the last few details this coming weekend and do a road test. I've got the drive shaft in, most of the interior in, and the last few wiring details wrapped up. All I need to do is...

I don't remember what brand of hose it is, I had bought some from Summit a few years back and still using it up.

Man, it's been the hoses, the fittings, the adapter gasket; it's been a real PIA. I'm thinking about going with a Canton oil filter adapter; they're a better quality and they've got the ports on the...

I had a week off of work and wrapped a lot of things up. Radiator is in, all my carb linkages are built and installed, trans cooler in, exhaust in, plus a ton of other little things. I hope to drop...

I got the front clip back on in the last couple of days and have been working on little things like getting the shift cable mounts lined out, changed the leaky pinion seal, plus other misc items. I...

Done, all back together and turns smooth with no binding. Not sure if I can use the steering wheel; now that I lowered it, it might be too big and be sitting right on my lap. I'll know when I put the...

I got the column drop finished and did a trial fit on the shaft. Everything clears, I should be in good shape. I made a floor plate for the lower column mounts, then pulled it all back apart for some...

I cut down the original column today and made a piece to hold a lower bearing. I'm moving the column over and down a bit which is ok because now it's centered with the gauges. It looks like I will...

First fire up today; sounds pretty good. Next order of business is to figure out how to fit the steering column around the headers and the starter....

Got back on this one last weekend. I freshened up a Holley 780 I had but had to make a new bracket to relocate the coil since the bowls hang out further. I got the alternator brackets made; I decided...

Same here! I have a week off of work coming up after next week and I hope for a test fire then.

That's the truth; the most time and they nickel and dime you to death.

I was looking at distributor options and found a place that machines this little bracket that bolts on the stock distributor...

Lots of little stuff done lately; wires, misc fittings, R&P mounted, etc. I got the floor put back together and worked on modifying the Jag shifter today. The cable is a little short so I'm going to...

Once I got the trans apart I found the case was cracked where the pump bolts in so I ended up buying another trans for parts from one of the local Mopar racers. I took the best parts from both along...

Sounds like I've started a community guilt trip!
