Heads up to all you Dodge V8 owners. My 1973 360 timing chain fell off the cam gear just south of Toledo in October returning from New York.  Needless to say, we were stuck on the side of the road.…Continue

Any Old timer Mechanics out there

Ok the front axle on this is 3,300 lb rating. All of them that I see for that year are the same size.

Here's the question is the rotor bigger than the normal size or thicker.



If its bigger then is the rotor just stood higher to compensate and using the same mounts.

Hello everyone! I just bought a 1978 Dodge Cruise Master. I'm planning on restoring it, but can't find much info online!

We have a 1972/73 Dodge Concord  Class A 318 engine.  We have had it going on 30 years.  Love it.  Many alterations and changes now we are retired.

Convert Dodge Ignition to HEI

If anyone is interested, I converted my very poor Chrysler ignition system to a High Energy Ignition. It Was very easy and about $125.00 dollars. It has made a BIG difference: faster starts, more power and better MPG. Also all parts are readily available at any auto parts store as they are all GM except the distributor. Email me if interested and I will give you the details.

*FULL DISCLOSURE*

Back in the day I never really cared for mopar. Big Blocks ruled! I seldom had extra money that could'nt be better spent. I would swap and deal. I developed a prejudice or preference. Small block mopar never made the list. But I found this youtube with a basket full of info tidbits.

David, when I changed to TBI my mileage increase was about 1 1/2 MPG. I too like to travel about 55 mph. I tend to take the secondary roads and avoid freeways.

Jack,

The cylinder walls look great, perfectly clean, no scoring. Coated  all bores with MMO while I get the head repaired. Pistion looks good, won't know for sure until compression check.

I agree with higher octane, will put it in the aux tank for heading uphill to NC, it is getting really $$ these days. Downhill to FL is not much load. I live in ATL metro north.b

Great points about the TBI system, closed loop, should solve the issue. Any significant mileage increase? I know anything above 55 , it really drops pushing the RV box through the air.

Thanks for the tips.

While I am old school by defailt (old) I am an engineer and up to date with tech.

I use magnets out of microwave in the pans. That gave me the idea, lawn tractor starters have permanent magnets that fit oil filters pretty good, tips & tricks
