Well, last night the fuel pump died a mile from home. My dad told me not to mess with it – take it in. But if I do, chances are the kid working on it wasn’t even thought of when my 70 was built…so will he know what to do either?
Question seems to be,…

Replacing the front frame with an AZ donor and all 6 of the isolation mounts are completely cracked, shot or simply missing on my car. Anyone parting out a solid (probably southern) car that has usable mounts? Thanks.

Question seems to be, how to keep the pushrod from falling. Is there a trick? on SB Chevy you can slide a hacksaw blade in there to catch it. I did some Googling on the 383 though and it indicates there is a plug that is at the end of the pushrod bore that allows…

383 Fuel Pump replacement – are there tricks?

Hi. I have a ’70 Chrysler with drums all around. I purchased a used stubframe from a 71 (mine rusted out) and it has disc brakes. Thus far I have gleaned that I will need a different master cylinder, but what else do I need to do to use the 71 disc brakes? I believe there is issues with proportioning valves when you have drum/disc setup, correct? And is there upgrades to 71 brakes that would be beneficial for a non-modified vehicle?

I know for the Chevy Tri-fives, they has very detailed production numbers available. But so they have those for Mopar as well? I’m just curious what the numbers are for 1970, different body styles.

Being sold locally on Craigslist. I checked it out because I was curious. Clean vehicle for its age! Trunk pan behind both wheels was patched, but underside is otherwise quite clean. Frames are in great shape! Looks to have had minor body work to rockers and rear quarters, but the quarters aren’t a mass of bondo. Inner panel is still intact. Doors look solid.

Few accessories, no A/C, base model. 55,000 miles

Wish I had more room or I’d driven it away! Contact seller, not me….

NOT MINE 1971 Newport – run and drives

The rear frame on my Newport is looking tough. Floor is good, but frame not so much. Anyone parted out a car that’s got a frame that’s salvageable? I imagine quite a few years had the same frame.
Thanks.
