Kinda dated news.
From Aug. of last year.
"ATTENTION PARTS VENDORSTotally Auto’s ENTIRE INVENTORY for sale as a lot.Enormous parts collection hoarded over 4-decades of “Eat/Sleep/RepeatMopar’s”2-containers packed floor to ceiling with A,B & E-body parts. Heater Boxes, Manifolds, pedal assemblies, engine brackets, carbs, columns, trim and then more trim. Important to those building Mopars there’s all the brackets, cables, switches, mounts, and trinkets ya always need. There’s even a quite impressive amount of rare hubcap sets, trim rings, (yes 14&15”), and about 80 feet of wheels! Maybe 400 seat belts, seat tracks and interior components. Glass, regulators, tracks and jacks in every configuration you could think of. Brake parts/ good stuff, suspension parts, lamps lights, bezels and lenses! Shelves full of dash clusters – plastics pads, glove boxes, lamps, radios, mirrors, and a bunch of NOS.This is Totally Autos entire inventory so there’s a lot more than valuable original parts.We made clip and fastener kits for a very long time. Included is not just the inventory, (which is vast) but all of the show boards with samples and part numbers and codes that only years of tedious research could produce. Could be, it’s been decades since anyone has seen some of these fasteners.. All arranged in 2 cabinets, yes, all the cabinets and shelving too!Multiple engines, at least 8 727’s, a pallot of rear housings, center sections, axles, down to the bolts and gaskets. Leaf springs too, along with survivor and reproduction fuel tanks and senders. Speaking of reproductions, some of you know, we also had our own line of reproduction parts, and that entire inventory is also in this package, as well as the plethora of unused new parts, Cabinets too.So we were a restoration shop, as expected, there’s all the specialty equipment you need. Front and rear dollies for rolling around a body while you’re working. Engine cradles to build the front suspension engine transmission sub-assembly. Engine stands and a whole bunch of specialty tools.We offered restored parts too back in the day, plated stuff like door latches, side marker light brackets, trunk latches, strikers, distributor mounts, relay housings, fuel tubes, thousands of nuts and bolts and much more, much-much more, all restored originals! There’s a huge cabinet full of them and yes, the cabinet too.Then there’s piles of research, all of our paint codes and formulas..enough to fill a book! Wing car reference materials, survivor photos, archives, from back before we had cameras in our phones! There’s also boxes of microfiche film for all of the muscle eara Mopars, and the micro fish machine is with it. Service manuals too.If you have or are starting up a resto shop, this is all you will ever need. Above that, it’s a swapmeeters mother load. Probably well over $700,000.00 in parts alone sold individually.It’s no secret an injury forced me into retirement so even my personal stash, much of which (although properly stored) hasn’t seen the light of day in 30-years! I’m also including my collection of thousands, (likely more) all-Mopar Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, 1/18 scale die-casts and many more rare Mopar collectables and memorabilia!I’m not building cars anymore. I just want to pass this stuff along to those of you who are.Like I said in the beginning, “This is Totally Auto’s ENTIRE INVENTORY” ‘ya can even have the phone number if you wish.That brings me to my point, this is no small deal, I’m pricing it reasonable, $185,000I’m not able to do individual parts at this time… If you’re serious, Hit me up, I’d appreciate it. Otherwise, thanks for your time and reading.There’s 40 years of Mopar History in those cabinets, on those shelves, and in those containers.Select visits in Quakertown Pa., for qualified buyers by appt."

?? How does it attach ?? Does it have the Pentastar cast or molded into it near the part number? If not, its likely not a Mopar part..

I'd search on reprogramming, I find it hard to believe it's different HW.
The 392 just has a different tune.

I restored this car some time agao. Was a local car for years. All numbers match, build sheet and fender tag. Auto with factory A/C. Car had very little sheet metal repairs. Restored back to factory colors and could barly get $27,000 for it when I sold it. It blows my mind as everything was so nice when I was done. I think the color kinda held it back on value. Wish I had kept it. I just don't understand why so many " Mopar guys" .. don't like factory yellow or green Chrysler/Plymouth/ Dodge vehicles?? Mopar had some great color choices for green and yellow and for that matter, bronze or brown, back then IMO. Yeah I know, " those colors are too girly or too ugly"... especially about yellow cars. But not everyone likes Go Mango, or In Violet. In discussions with people trying to figure it out, I’ve found the most common reason is people have a mundane daily driver. A toy is suppose to be “fun,” including the color. Some, but very few, have said something that I translate to “I want extra attention when I drive my toy.” It’s just whatever our dna makeup causes. I’m the only guy that will tell you white(those suffer in value or go unsold) is his favorite, I was never happier than when I had my 69 rr(guy gave up selling and I saved the number until I had the funds, he was happy as a clam I called) in that. It was even brighter than the factory white. I drive a white vehicle everyday and would prefer that on the toy.

The problem here is we are really judging photographs, not cars.
I suspect a better lit/staged pic of the red car would have changed the replies you are getting here,, meaning effectively GIGO.

I'm using a Meziere electric water pump on a 526 stroker big block (street car). The pump as well as the fan is triggered by the temp sensor.
The question is:can the thermostat be eliminated AND should I install a restrictor plate to slow down the flow through the system? I've used a Meziere pump WP 105 (it bolts into a stock housing) since 2007. I use a restrictor plate (basically the same size as a punched out thermostat) It's cooled the 528, 572 and 655 engine versions of my Challenger street and strip with no issues. I've had various fans and controllers on it (the breakages being due to heavy wheelstand landings). Using firmly mounted Davis twin fan digital controller (fitted recently) and Spal fans at the moment, they seem to be working well

I have a 604 inch hemi. CNC ported older MP hemi heads and fabricated crossarm. first go around with the motor big cam / compression, was over 1000 hp. Long story short sold car, bought it back years later. Motor had a broke roller lifter. So during rebuild we did 10.5 to 1 compression, and a small roller cam. i don't have the specs handy but it was under .700 lift. i thought the cam would be kind of small but didn't want to hurt things and street drive. Still made a quick 860HP and a ton or torque. It's a great street combo and a blast to drive. for a street car when i drove it 1000hp it would just annihilate the tires in every gear on the street. lots of noise and no forward motion. with good heads, pump gas and cubic inch, you can go small on the cam, not kill parts and still make solid power. You start hitting diminishing returns on these when you get over 900 HP, and it gets way more aggressive for smaller gains.

Always a silver lining. Due to the overwhelming rejection of the poor-quality Hurricane 6 engine in the Rams- Stellantis is bringing back the Hemi in the Rams. Hopefully the tick is remedied. CDJR needs not a win- but many sales success Wins. It's just a shame CDRJ is not an American owned company. The Challenger and Charger were truly amazing in that- younger people who don't know and who don't care about the 1963-1972 era of great Mopars would buy the modern Dodge muscle simply because they like them! Thats what you want- the young demographic buying your product. Harley Davidson is an example where only the older crowd that has an affinity for the 60s stuff Buys HD bikes (And the older guys generally have the money for such an expense.) You want preferably to appeal to all the age demos and present different pricing options. Many don't know this, but the (Modern times) Challenger consistently outsold the Camaro. This is huge! Us older guys know that traditionally the Chevy Camaro sales ALWAYS buried the sales of the Mopar equivalent.

I never click on any of that stuff IE anything from FB! Won't go there and won't click on any links to it! They should bring back the post about Motortrend and Road Kill. There was video of Joe there and he had a lot of good points. It was removed because somebody got political. Really? What should be removed is all the political crap on the unmoderated forum. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.mysmiley.net/microsoft/Microsoft_pile-of-poo__94a9_mysmiley.net.png)

What i don't get is why someone buys a 4X4 and wants to drop it. Or they have a 4X2 and want to raise it. I think drop spindles would work better, It keeps the front end geometry where it needs to be. I don't think you want to look like the ricers with the wheels at 80 degrees.

Wix 51515 is Baldwin B2 correct? Writing it in my parts list in case I switch from Wix. So far, all of mine are made in the USA.

I’ve got several of these cores. I’ve got hemi roller cores just like this with the narrow lobe and one flat tappet hemi core with the wider lobes. I’ve got several old hemi roller cams that are ground and they are on a cast core just like this. I’m assuming this is what they used years ago before billet cams were made?

A friend of mine went to UCLA in the 60's and while he never said he was friends specifically with Jim Morisson, they had some classes together and my friend knew Jim was in a band. They ran in the same circles and had many of the same friends; but Jim was a hardcore drinker and my friend wasn't into that kind of thing. My friend's parents both worked for Standard Oil at the time and he was an only child. So, whatever he wished was made reality. He did tell the story of seeing Mark Lindsay's 275GTB Ferrari cruising around and, in a bout of oneupsmanship (with somebody he didn't know) asked Mommy and Daddy for a Ferrari of his own. That wish was granted in the form of a yellow, late-1969 Dino 246 GTS. A car he still had (and yours truly got to sit in) many years later in the mid 2000's. While I never got to drive the car, I did get to sit in it and take it all in as I was helping him take pictures so the car could be sold. He even still had his mother's '69 Imperial Crown Coupe that had every single option you could order!
Sadly, my friend passed away in 2013. He had no brothers or sisters and never married. I'm not sure if he even had a will. Last I'd heard from him was a telephone call from him saying he's going into hospital for some checkups and he'll be out in a few days. Never heard from him again. I never saw anything in the papers with an obit or an estate sale, though, a "friend" learned the Imperial was up for sale but never told me. Some friend, right? Oh well. Funny thing is, even if only half of his tall tales were true, he lived a very interesting life. I later learned he was a renowned artist and had painted several well-loved works of art - something he NEVER spoke of.

You don’t need to ground or unplug anything to bypass the interlock system. You can simply jump out the two yellow wires at the reset button plug. There are some other methods, but that’s the easier one. Swap out the two yellow wires at bulkhead conector works too.
That will keep operative the warning systems (buzzer, lights) but still will be able to crank up the engine no matter what.
The next easier solution is get the orange control box, replacing the blue if auto or white if manual. The orange box is a non interlocked box just a warning signals control. Tipically used on Canadian/Export models.
Based on my 71/74 B body experience, there is no a STRAIGHT interchange on harnesses except for the rear section (body and tail lights). Pretty sure E body’s should be similar.
72/73 get also seatbelt warning system, relay controlled. Seat sensors are the same to 74s, but not seatbelts sensors, while on 74 sensors are on females, 72/73 are on the retractors.
74s use a single buzzer for everything controlled by the control box, while earliers use a single buzzer for every function. Even the horn relay is diff between 74 and earliers.
On B bodies there also several differences on the schematic distribution at bulkhead. Several wires were swapped around along all the 71/74 production. Several harness changed also, (A/C for example) I can post details on this if wished. E bodies could be similar.

Isn't a '70 a split year for design?
If it's important there is an early and later style.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...l_code=null&referral_story_type=postLooks like it was optioned well...B5 blue, factory sunroof, power windows, Tuff wheel, A/C, ralleye dash, console/bucket seats, Original 440 big block. It would have been a great looking Charger when brand new. Body looks pretty clean, and the car looks to be pretty much all there. Interior is toasty. Thought's??

The engine builder did slip once when I said something about shifting one of those motors near 10,000 RPM, he indicated that they shifted that motor over that, probably nearer 11,500 RPM
