A friend has his Jeep in my detail shop. It needs wheel cylinders - no brake pedal and leaking. I want it out of my shop, but he can't get the drums off. Anyone know the trick to get rear brake drums off a 1969 Jeep Jeepster Commando? I need the space and will do it for him just to clear my shop.

When I first bought this truck, the power windows didn't work. I took the window motors out and replaced the gears. There were wood screws, lag bolts and machine screws holding it in. I riveted it all back in like it was supposed to be. Today I am changing the turn signal switch because the...

My brother told me my right tail and turn weren't working. I checked and they were. I noticed I didn't have brake lights on the right side. Then I found out what an idiot the previous owner was. There is a wire scotch locked to the yellow wire in the right rear. It runs all the way through the...

Well, my Dart is leaking tranny fluid so I had the Ramcharger running and buffed it out and waxed it for the Monday car show. My brother went in his Warlock. We did a final dusting and clean up at the show. My brother pops the hood and I look over and say "what the hell do you have there?" He...

Weird. I did the intake because it was leaking oil, and badly. The guys at work made a workorder with an environmental clean up charge on it. Pretty simple on a 318. It's in my 83 Ramcharger. I drove it into the shop, replaced the intake gaskets and valve covers, cleaned it all off and changed...

My brother and I hit the track at Rock Falls Raceway a week ago. He has a 1978 Dodge Warlock with an '09 5.7 Hemi and a Viper 6 speed manual tranny. I have a 73 Dart Sport with a 408 stroker, GM 200R4 tranny and a Dana 60. We had one race head to head. I'll post his other races since this is a...

I am am / was a regular on A Bodies. Joey want to try out the new software, so here is my post. I have a 83 Ramcharger 2WD with a 318/727. I am building a 440 for it and am looking forward to my first big block. I'm doing a budget build and have almost all the parts I need to start putting the...

The title says it all. I'm building a 440 for my Ramcharger and need the screw in oil tube and dipstick. It's a truck oil pan, so the tube is a screw in. Anyone got one gathering dust that they want to get rid of?

Putting a 440 in my Ramcharger. I need a cheap aluminum dual plane intake and a set of truck headers. I'm not real particular on the header brand, but I kind of hate Hookers. Well, I like Hookers, just not Hooker headers.

I found a local guy who is big into Mopar and bought a running 1977 440 for very cheap. I don't have much money to build, so I crossed my fingers and tore it down. The top end has absolutely no wear at all on the cam or lifters. The oil pan was full of sludge and the rod bearings showed normal...

I am planning a big block in the next year or so, but in the meantime I wanted a better looking motor and a little more power. This 318 is a dog! 73K original miles on a EGR'd 2 bbl 318. I had an Eddy performer intake, Moroso tall fabricated aluminum valve covers and a bunch of 4 bbl carbs...

Last winter I had such low heat in my Ram, I couldn't believe it. The temp gauge never goes much above 180. I replaced the t-stat just because, but it barely blows warm at all. I tried flushing and backflushing the heater core with CLR. I got some crud out of it and the flow was great, but still...

I just bought an 83 Ramcharger. The passenger window never worked and the left did, but has since acted as if the gear or regulator was not working properly. It might move with help for a little bit, then the motor just spins. The right side makes no noise at all. I am taking the panels off...
