    1959 Pontiac Star Chief

    Sold the 26’ Dodge back in October, worked on our 68’ C10 and sold that, then picked up this 1959 Pontiac Star Chief. My son was a bit Leery of it, but I have always loved Pontiacs and really thought this one was pretty cool. Figured the Dodge was a build that he had wanted to do, so now we’re...

    Corvette steering knuckles

    Does anyone know if the hubs on the Firebirds and Camaros will bolt into the same or similar year Corvette knuckles? I have 1999 Trans Am hubs and knuckles, but I don’t like the shape and length of the Trans Am knuckles. Looking at them, the Corvette knuckles seem to be what I want. Just need...

    Sunday BBQ

    My son and I stopped to check out this early 50’s Chevy and got invited to bring our Dodge over for a BBQ. So we did. :D It was at a shop just about 2 miles from my son’s house. Interesting how they all commented on the ceiling tiles, seems to be something everyone likes. Had a good time...

    2 speed Mopar Auto

    Not every time, but quite often when we fire the car up for the first time, the transmission pukes out fluid from the top of the dipstick tube. We don’t have it over filled (based on the dipstick) and everything seems fine/works when we drive it. Only does it on an initial start, once we’ve...

    Front straight axle help

    We had a problem, mainly during right hand turns, with the front wheels “flopping”. :eek: It did it on two right hand turns (both very sharp turns) and once on a straight stretch when we hit a good bump. So, I’m not sure what I need to change on the front end. I’ve seen a lot of front...

    I need to know the dimensions for the 4 bolt big block water pump, like a 440. Need to know the bolt pattern and the pilot diameter on the mounting surface.

    54' 331 Hemi

    On my Hemi I can feel air coming out of the spark plug tubes. Seems like the plugs aren’t sealing into the head, but they are tight. Any ideas what I need to do, maybe the tubes themselves are not seating properly?

    331 Hemi questions

    What is the best solution to removing the down draft tube? Can we just put a PVC valve in its place and still run the vented oil fill cap? Can it be eliminated without modifying the valve covers? Also, we installed a GM HEI using a Hot Hemi Heads adapter and want to make sure we are setting the...

    Distributor – Gauge help

    OK, my son bought this gauge to use in the Dodge. It has DIV GM, Flint Mich. Stamped on the back along with, what we can best read, August 6, 1960. We can’t find any other numbers. The person he bought it from said it was out of a 34 Ford, but based on what it says on the back he was wrong. The...

    My Pictures of H.A.M.B. Drags 2010

    My son and I went to the H.A.M.B. Drags this past Saturday. :D It was our first time going, but most likely won't be the last. Had a great time. [cl http://s769.photobucket.com/albums/xx336/SugarRay8/HAMB%20Drags%202010/

    1926 Dodge Brothers

    We got a 1926 Dodge Brothers Sedan. (3) Owners prior to me chopped the car up to make a street rod. He decided to change from a four door to a two door and got rid of the front doors. He then chopped 6” out of “most” of the car. He never got anything reassembled or welded together. He passed...
