#1 All Dodge and Plymouth B body K members from 62 to 65 the same and can be swapped/6 to /6 SB to SB and BB to BB? #2 Yes but, sb and bb are the same. The 62s could have the weird old mounts. #3 Small block and big block same K member just different brackets. #4 Should clarify by saying different engine brackets. Even the rubber insulators interchange between SB and BB. #5 Small block and big block same K member just different brackets. Were the hemi k members different for those years?
Auto floor shifter removal?
#1 Need to pull the factory floor shift and console to do carpet but I cant see how the shift knob/ button is removed from the lever. Loosened up the set screw thinking that would do it but no.

What carb for 440
I realize I’m going to get a ton of different answers with this one, but im looking for some suggestions on what type of carb to go with. Engine is a 440, 10:1 compression with a voodoo 703 cam. It has TTI headers, a performer intake, 727 transmission and 355 gears. It has a reman Quadrajet on it right now and im tired of messing with it trying to get it idling smoothly. I’m leaning towards Holly or quick fuel, definitely something with vacuum secondaries.

Fan choice
Can somebody give me advice on which fan to use? I installed a vintage air ac system in my car ( 67 belvedere 383 big block, 2.50 radiator ). It has an engine driven fan right now, would a clutch fan be better? Right now if I keep the engine driven fan I will use a 2 3/8 spacer to clear the sanden compressor, and idler. I don't know which fan will work better, clutch, non clutch. Any help would be appreciated.

engine question
So I bought the 70 charger last year and it has a 318. Was told engine was rebuilt. Took off valve covers and intake and it seems to be true from what I can see. I asked the owner if it was broke in and he said he did not know. He said he drove the car 20 miles and that was it. Car sat since 2006. Engine was frozed when I got it. Got it running,70 psi then pulled the engine. Sat for a month maybe 2 covered. Went to spin it with no plugs and only could turn it a 1/2 inch.

Wiper arm alignment
Saw a post about putting flaps of tape around the wiper pivots without the wipers installed. Turn them on and see where the flaps of tape end up then install the wiper arms/blades. Seemed like a pretty good idea but i haven't tried.

I wish my R/T had the Satellite covers and rear seat surround. To me, they just look "richer". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say.

Stripped and Dipped - Rare 1969 Charger 500 in Bare Metal
#1 Interesting to see how the rear window plug was welded in. #2 They certainly didn't waste time or money on making it look good. I didn't know that chemical dipping removed all the lead work. #3 The rear window plug reminds me of the 70 Challenger SE rear window. #4 I'm interested to know if it actually was 'acid' dipping or some other chemical. I have heard of acid dipping, and the big drawback is making sure that all traces of the acid are washed thoroughly away.
