Greasing non-greasable u-joints
#4 So your new u-joints have no grease fittings? If they do. Just pump them full of grease after they are installed. They should be pre- greased if no fittings. They're heavy duty U-joints that have an optional zerk included, but not installed. I'd have to drill a hole to install the zerk. On our race cars, I prefer non greasable and just hand lube them before installation. Any special technique for lubing, or just shove grease in there? Will wheel bearing grease do?

Motor is @ TDC.. Balancer shows @ 45 degrees BTDC
I have 1967 440 HP motor. It recently has been fully rebuilt. All new internals. I installed the original Harmonic Balancer with no problems. I went to find TDC by using the thumb over the hole whilen cranking technique. When my thumb blew off I looked at the mark on the Balancer and it was way off! Like just over 45 degrees BTDC! I thought he original balancer had skipped or spun out of wack due its age. I replaced it with a Super Damper. SAME THING! It shows 45 degress Adavanced WHAT NOW ?

Round back or Square back alternator?
Yes, you can run a later dual isolated field alternator on a ’69 and earlier application, just ground one field terminal. No technical reason to replace the existing mechanical regulator if it’s working as it should. However upgrading to the later electronic regulator is fairly easy to do.

Difference in K-frame? (440 vs RB)
#1 RTDaddy Well-Known Member What are the differences between the 440 K-frame (the one with the "coin" welded on it) vs other big block K-frames? thanks in advance. #2 A 440 is an RB. if you have V-8 k-member you can put what ever engine you want on it, small block or big block v-8. 6 cylinder k-members were different. Some hemi and 6 pack cars had reinforced k-members.

Electric antenna base mounting hardware?
Got this Chinese power antenna super cheap at a swap meet. So cheap, that I took a chance and bought it. Figuring that it was broken. But to my surprise! It works perfectly. But it didn't come with mounting hardware. Does anyone know where I could find the hardware for this Chinese antenna? Not sure what the thread size is either . As you can see in the picture. It measures out weird. Thanks in advance, Tony.
Your opinion on Patina?
#1 SteveSS Well-Known Member Since I have Hagerty as my insurance company I get their magazine. It's usually great. This time it was called The Patina Issue. Lots of articles about cars with mostly surface rust, old paint, missing chrome, and some battle scars. In considering what they were saying I think some cars can get away with it and some can't.

Never too old to learn something even older.
Learned a new word yesterday. Learned it here reading thru the drum brake threads. The word is "swage", and for about an hour yesterday I was being "swaged" and didn't even know it. If you don't know the meaning of the word, my definition is: Being tricked into thinking that the right front drum should be exactly the same as the left brake drum that you just successfully replaced the brake shoes on. Some people misspelled or miss understood the word as "swedged", but that's just a very minor point.
Fossilized plasti dip. Difficult to remove.
Previous owner of my black 78 dodge magnum sprayed dark grey plastic dip over 10 years ago. I tried the plasti dip remover and it works if you let it soak in for a month and pressure washing it . But it's goes at a snails pace. Anyone have any suggestions or hacks? I might try some oven cleaner next. Thanks in advance, Tony.

Dodge won't be down for breakfast
Idiocy. Like a bunch of other issues (for PF discussion) in a mad-rush, this one being stuffing EV's down our necks when CLEARLY this dog can't hunt yet. Take out products consumers still want? Forgot to include - WTF?

Anyone on here have their big toe joint fused/screwed together ?
I have been dealing with arthritis in my big toe main joint. It's bone on bone now, I've had 3 cortisone injections in the past couple years. Foot doc wants to replace the joint or fuse it. He claims better out come most of the time with fuseing it. He says they just clean out what arthritis he can and then screw the joint together. Just wondered if any of you guys had this done and the results.
Boy I am pissed at MCG
MCG.... most recent issue. 1963 FURY FOUR DOOR MAX WEDGE. MAKING A HUGE DEAL ABOUT AN ULTRA RARE 4 DOOR MAX WEDGE. ON Page 22 goes on and on and on about the rarity and there are only 2 known to exist and this guy has both of them "NOT". THIS EXACT SAME MAGAZINE IN 1992 DID A 6 PAGE Article ABOUT MY 63 fury 4 DOOR MAX WEDGE.......They came to my house and did a photo shoot. then ONLY one known to exist. Fully documented and a feature car at Carlisle in the building.
Another Important Service Advisory "lock Keys In car"
My vehicles are all old enough still having keys. Renting a couple vehicles with button start was a bit of an adjustment for me. Rental agencies wire both fobs together, great stuffing those in jean pockets. Rented a Challenger in Atlanta and unlocked the doors at a hotel one night, think it was when stuffing the fobs in a pocket. And, lose one lose both. Last time I had a rental for a week on a 2200 mile round trip, I cut the damn wire so I could hand the 2nd fob to my wife.

FOR SALE - 1969-70 Sun visors New
The bottom right visor pictured . It looks caved in? Or is it a optical illusion? Or some discoloration or stain?
What does a shop charge for front end rebuild?
I believe it. I took my daily driver 2007 GMC for an alignment a couple of years ago and they wanted like $2000 to swap out all the worn out stuff and align it. I ordered the parts on ebay and did it my self for about $600. I would imagine that they would charge more for a old Dodge, that they are not as familiar with. Just my thoughts, I haven't gotten an actual quote.
Pie tins gone CRAZY!
Makes me feel a whole lot better about the one I bought for a hundred bucks a few months ago. Got an orange one, nos in the box, guess it will pay for my trip to carlisle…

No electrical power
69 Road Runner with stock ammeter gauge. Car running great until I went to start it today and got one "click" then nothing. No headlights etc. Battery OK and have power to fuseable link (engine side) however No power from fuseable link to firewall connection. Tried to short out starter solenoid in order to cheat the system and see if the starter would engage. I get a few clicks at the starter.
What if a disaster happened right now?
My wife tends to buy food that is on sale and will keep, such as canned goods. Some woman behind her at the register, probably a newby to the area, inquired about the amount of stuff in her basket. My wife replied that hurricane season is almost here. The woman, now all shook up, said “there’s a hurricane coming”. Wife replied, not now, but if there was, this place would be just crazy, with everyone in a panic.
Florida Mopar Association. show & Swap meet.
