Monaco Wheels

Marian — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:14:36 +0000

I'm having a hard time find wheels for the car. We may have to use the ones we have. Just bought new tires from coker and they are having a hard time figuring out what wheels will fit on my car. Perhaps someone can give me guidance. I going with the original ply tires. The old wheels are 14 x 6 bolt pattern is 5 x 4 1/2. I will be using the original 13 1/2" spinner hubcaps which need to pop on to wheel.

WTB Auto transmission support bracket

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:01:21 +0000

I will eventually be installing tti headers on my car. I was looking over their website and the notes for the headers I'll be getting. One note states that some modifications to the adjustable swivel and lower rod will be needed. Also that the support bracket will need to be cut and welded to make it shorter. Anyway, I'd like to try and find extra support brackets in case I make a mistake with my cutting and welding. Does anyone have this bracket for sale?

Correct Way To Fold A Convertible Top On A 70 RR When Putting It Down

soundhd — Thu, 23 May 2013 11:43:35 +0000

Recently purchased a 70 RR Convertible. Have had convertibles for years (mostly GM cars) but this is my first Mopar. Was wondering if anyone could post info & photos of the correct way to fold the top when putting it down. I always put the top down when I drive it when I can...weather permitting but always put the top up when it is parked either at home or when I get to a cruise night, show, etc.... so most of the time it is in the up position but have noticed that it seems to get wrinkled very easy and the wrinkles do not go away very quickly......just wondering if I am "folding" it the wrong way maybe...From what I can see there are two ways to fold the top when putting it down just not sure which way is the best way...thanks

Rally Dash Wth Aftremarket Gauges?

soundhd — Thu, 23 May 2013 09:40:23 +0000

Have a recently purchased 70 RR with the Rally Dash. Probably the best looking dash of all the 60's & 70's muscle cars I think. (just my opinion...) Anyway finding out the the gauges are not the most accuate at best. Never understood the Amp gauge......always thought that a volt gauge was better (for me anyway).....Have always been a user of full sweep aftermarket gauges...very accuate and easy to read with a quick glance. I recent years they have also gotten smaller. Was wondering if anyone has been able to figure out a way to replace the factory gauges with new aftermarket full sweep gauges in a 70 Rally Dash.....( oil pressure, temp, replace the amp gauge with a volt meter.....not sure if one could replace the fuel gauge or not). Again I am not talking about replacing the whole cluster with a custom one but just replacing the gauges.....I have seen examples of nice looking custom clusters but again I want to keep the original rally cluster panel with aftermarket gauges in place of the old ones........ If someone has done this could you post info and photos about how you did it with any problems you ran into doing the change and how you solved those problems. I am sure I am not the only Mopar owner with a rally dash interested in this. Second qustion.... is is there a company that does this anywhere?

Tire Fit

dougfunnie — Thu, 23 May 2013 05:31:28 +0000

I have a 72 Dodge Charger and i need to change the tires to pass inspection and i would like to get new wheels also. At my home currently i have a set of 4 tires with a size of 225/55 16. Im not so concerned about them fitting on the rear end but more on the front, will tires of this large size rub when i turn the wheel? i would rather not have to mount them on new rims and find out the hardway that they do not fit. Also what kind of back spacing would be needed on the rim to clear the drum brakes?

8 3/4, 741 yoke/u-joint/seal interchange question – and moron award nominee…

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 04:22:23 +0000

I recently purchased a 3.23 SureGrip to replace the 2.93 peg leg in my '65 Coronet. In a "rookie" move, I assumed since both housings were 2070741 housings, the yokes would be the same. In fact, the u-joint straps appear to interchange. Now that the PIG is in my housing, I realize the distance across one yoke is 3 1/4" while the other is 4". Solutions....

1) Can I swap the yokes, i.e. will they interchange? If I did, will I have to set pre-load and back lash again?

2) Is there a "swap" u-joint I could use?

3) Will I have to get a new yoke on the drive shaft to match the housing?

I have unscrewed myself from the ceiling, accepted my fate, and I'm ready to listen. Thanks in advance!

Power steering pump questions

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 04:06:23 +0000

Hello,
Last week I replaced some bushings in the front end of the Charger and had it aligned. The setup for the steering is:
Rubber bushings in LCA, Moog offset UCA bushings. Poly strut rod bushings. Newer ball joints. Firm Feel Stage 3 steering box with Fast Ratio pitman and idler arms. Steering ratio is between 11.8 and 12.0 to 1 with the fast ratio arms. Welded K member with gussets to steering box mount.
The P/s pump is a rebuilt unit. I have an inline cooler on it. The steering effort is heavy. Yeah, Most Mopars suffer from the OVERboosted OEM setup, but mine feels just the opposite. It never jumps, surges or squeals the belt though. I'm sure that the pump is working because steering effort with the engine off if waaaaay higher.
The pump has a 5 7/8" or 6" pulley and it is bent. I planned on installing another of similar size, but just found a 5" pulley on another pump. The pulley is 15% smaller and would be spinning that much faster. I am curious if this would make any difference. Do these saginaw pumps reach a point where the boost tops out and increases in RPM make no difference? In other words, if the current pulley spins at 2000 RPMs and the smaller pulley spins 2300 at the same engine speed, does this equal more boost?

For sale: Small block or Big block 70-72 Federal Power Steering Pumps

Moparparts — Thu, 23 May 2013 03:29:35 +0000

FOR SALE: Here are pics and info on 4 different Federal power steering pumps for Big block or Small block.
#1 is date coded 249th day of 66, and it has an incorrect 6 1/4 inch pullet with a key slot that someone installed previously. It does have typical dents on the reservoir behind where the bracket would go from tightening the belt. Price would be $75 plus shipping.
#2 is date coded 251st day of 67. There is no pulley, but it has a nice reservoir with no dents, only one small ding near the return hole nipple. Price would be $75 plus shipping.
#3 has a date code of 299th day of 67. There is no cap, and it has an incorrect 5 3/4 inch diameter pulley that someone installed previously, and put a tack weld on the front corner of the shaft. They did not weld in the threaded hole, and the weld could be ground off and the pulley removed. The reservoir is dirty on the outside, but not dented badly, only one area with a vary small dent on the back where the bracket bolts on. Price would be $65 plus shipping.
#4 is date coded 262nd day of 68, and has the correct 7 inch pulley. The pulley had a dent on the belt groove, and was bent back. We straightened it up mostly, and it actually turned out pretty good. Would need more work to be nice. The reservoir does have dents at the typical area behind the bracket, and an indent where the return hose nipple is. These dents could be worked out if the reservoir is removed. Price would be $85 plus shipping.

Torsion bar adjustment

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 03:22:41 +0000

Ok question guys. When adjusting the torsion bars should the torsion bar bolt be equal from side to side. Whe you adjust do you compensate for the driver. Where is the best place to measure i am using the fender to the ground.

Any tips will be great.

FOR SALE Getting out of the business……scrapping everything if no interest.

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:54:14 +0000

I have been building cars for over 20 years. I have also been parting out cars that long. Just in the past 10years though I have been doing nothing but Mopar. Well for the past couple of years, with the economy sucking, no one is buying parts. I've even had parts that I have tried to give away with no luck. So after spending this past weekend at a Mopar swap meet and car show, I have decided to get out. I have a bunch of belvedere/satellite parts, some 73-74 charger parts , and also some 70-76 a-body duster /dart parts in my possession. With that being said, I am scrapping all the parts, unless someone comes forward. I have 67 belvedere/satellite hood (rust free), doors(needs 2 patches), and trunk lid(rust on lip only). 73-76 duster/dart doors (practically rust free). I have 3 radiators laying around. I also have various trim pieces for the dart and belvedere. This is just a touch of what I have. I can't write it all here. Maybe someday, when things turn around, I will have the patience to deal with this again. Thanks to all that have bought parts from me in the past.

’68-’70 BBody Vent Glass D E L E T E

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 01:07:41 +0000

I have a BBody Styling question that has bugged me for years . . . The only Design flaw on any BadAss 1968 through 1970 (Hardtop non-post) BBody is when all 4 windows are down you still have that hella ugly dated vent glass on your door / A pillar. If Man can land on the Moon cannot any Glass fabricator come up with new door glass that meets the A pillar so as to eliminate the funky vent window?!!! I don't care if you spend $200K on a RestMod Charger at SEMA; ALL I SEE is flat black paint trying to mask out the most glaring design flaw on the BEST PROFILE of any American car E V E R !
I would help fund the Auto Glass company that can solve this once and for all! BBody Forum; what do you say? Wouldn't your GTX Charger RR be that much cooler with a super clean NO side GLASS profile ?!
