No Fire

Any help would be appreciated. I have a 361 big block. Two weeks ago the car stopped running. No fire. The number one plug wire burnt in two from laying on the manifold. I have a Pertronix electronic conversion. I replaced the cap, rotor, coil, and ballast resistor. I'm getting power to the coil, but only firing one time per rotation of the rotor. Common sense says it should fire eight times per rotation. Can anyone help? Continue

"Super Six" Conversion Wanted (Needed!)

I'd like to convert/upgrade my 1965 Barracuda's 225 slant 6 to a 2-barrel "Super Six" setup (this was standard on all slants made after 1977), so I'm in the market for the complete kit. "Complete" meaning… Continue

Am I Crazy?????

Need your guys opinion on fixing a 73 RR/GTX (1 of 117 susposedly, I don't buy that number myself as I have seen a few on ebay the last year, maybe they all survived....yeah right....)when I have a couple of very cool Mopars to do first (70 Charger and 70 GTX Clone). Decided I would take the 1 with the least amount of work to do. Hope to have it done by spring and run the shit out of it for the summer. The more I sit and look at it though, I am reminded just why I never wanted one before this

The Dude Abides

The Dodge "Dude" pickups were only produced for two years, in 1970 and '71, and they're about as rare as a vegan at an NRA barbecue. Dodge introduced this new model in August 1969. The "Custom Sweptline" held the title "Dude Sport Trim Package." This new model was essentially the standard D100, (1/2 ton), 128” wheelbase pick-up Dodge already had in production, with an added black or white body-side "C" stripe decal; a Dodge Dude decal on the box at the rear marker lamps; tail lamp bezel trim; an… Continue

Wild's Palace of Poison

St. Louis in the late '50s/early '60s must have been a pretty interesting place, what with Gaslight Square and all. One of the truly unique places back then was Wild's Palace of Poison, a greaser/hot rod hangout that existed on Lemay Ferry Road in South St. Louis County. I just found a great page with a photo and some scans of their menu (which includes such delicacies as the Murder Burger, Scorpions Sting, Idio… Continue

The Hodad Mobile

Why I like my 1965 Barracuda:

It’s so ugly it’s beautiful.
That Slant Six will probably outlive me. Seriously, they run forever! They’re virtually indestructible and extremely simple and easy to work on (not to mention supe up).
C’mon, that back window is huge! Bubble back! Glass back! Over 14 square feet of glass back there to watch the world go by!
Versatility. It can seat five pretty comfortably, or you can lay that back seat down and haul all kindsa cr
