Engine and Exhaust

Equipped with a '70 block 318 V8 (pre smog set up) with an edelbrock performer intake manifold and a edelbrock 1405 600cfm 4 barrel carburetor, going out to long tube Heddman Headers connected to dual glasspak mufflers for that old school sound.

New valve covers, Edlebrach Air cleaner, PCV, lines, hoses and the electrical was cleaned up.

We put a brand new alternator and battery in it, still under warranty.

Transmission
It has the famous Mopar A-883 4-speed transmission, great strong tranny here with a hurst shifter shifts great!

Rear End
The rear end is 8 1/4 3.55 sure grip, good streetable gear ratio, keeps your RPMs just under 3,000 while doing about 75 on the freeway, and with the sure grip your leaving 2 tire marks for your burnouts and doing some great donuts, no peg leg here!

Brakes and Suspension
Front end of car was upgraded with the better suspension, k-member and DISC brakes of a 1973 Plymouth Duster. Giving you better handling, better braking, better k-member for V8s. Also has smooth feeling manual steering box out of the 73 Duster with the 73 steering column to go to the matching box. Drives great feels like power steering, won't even notice it's manual steering. All suspension was redone with the PST front end suspension kits and Moog.

We put in new Monroe Mono Matix Shocks also, still under warranty.

Has all new brake system, calipers, master cylinder, lines, etc...
Rear end drum brakes were rebuilt and differential was gone through, the rear end is also out of a 73 Duster.

Interior

Cool comfortable front buckets seats with head rest, new headliner, new carpet, no rust.

New Mounted Tachometer, new electrical temp gauge and gas gauge (gives you good accurate readings) this car stays COOL!!! Never had an issue with this car overheating, not once!! Stays at a solid 160-170, NEVER MORE! Interior is decent, doesn't really look bad, could use a LITTLE love, but for a daily driver it's perfectly fine!

Runs and drives great!! I'm estimating about 300 Hp from this 318. My favorite thing about this car is it starts up by the turn of a key after it's morning warm up. Just like a modern car, no gas pumping or holding, priming the carb with fuel, just simple turn the key and on.

We put in new weatherstripping on the doors and trunk area so it's fairly quite inside for a muscle car.

Tires

The car has brand new tires still under warranty, less than 200 miles on them. We put brand new rims on it also which match nicely with the paint job.

This car was completely gone through front to back, so much of this car is brand new!

Things to improve

If your looking for a show car, this probably isn't it, but would be a great starter for one. It need some work on the interior there are a few seat rips in the back and on the shoulders. The door panels are in fair shape.

The interior paint could use touching up and the console panels need help. The heater is in it, but not hooked up (no heater core) and the radio is not hooked up. It still has the original factory stock AM radio.

This is a great car. It turns heads and would make an excellent project car for someone looking to finish it, turn it into a real racer or just have fun using it as a daily driver.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep

Thu, 30 May 2013

The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.

Dodge buyers looking for that extra performance edge, take note: Mopar is bringing back the Scat Pack. Announced at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas today, the new Scat Packages will be available in three stages for the Challenger, Charger and Dart starting next spring.
Upgrades for the Charger and Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine include a

Upgrade to the Scat Package 2 and you get a new camshaft, and the Scat Package 3 tosses in ported and polished heads and hi-flow headers. Upgrades for the Dart GT with the smaller 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission start with a cold-air intake, short-throw shifter and upgraded brakes. The second stage kicks in a remapped ECU and cat-back exhaust, while the Scat Package 3 for the Dart gives you even bigger brakes, an adjustable suspension and sway bars front and rear.
