1042283 Jeeper, Thanks for the compliment. It is a base coat/clear coat system. The base coat goes on in 3 coats and then "dries" (Actually "cures") for 20-30 minutes, then comes the clear coat. The clear coat goes on in 2 coats and takes 6 hours to fully "cure", but in the photos you're...

1042285 Thanks, Ant. That idea is actually in the works. Once I get into a bigger and brand new shop next summer/fall, I plan to offer pre painted and finished body kits in any color the customer chooses. Stay tuned for more updates on the project. I'm hoping to have it done in the next...

1042286 Thanks, Baretta! Maybe when I get into my new shop next summer I can do a body kit up for you. Just let me know.[addsig]

1042287 I'd suggest saving yourself a lot of time, money and extra work. Just spray 3-4 good coats of POR-15 and you're good to go. HTH[addsig]

1042312 Thanks, Matt. I'm working on the doors (old style doors with rotary handles), windshield frame, tailgate, hood and rollbar now. I'm hoping to have them all in base and clear by the end of this coming weekend. Stay tuned![addsig]

1042324 Yes, POR-15 has to be on the metal for it to work. Blast it to bare metal, use marine clean, rinse, use the metal ready, rinse and apply 3-4 medium/wet coats of POR-15. You *can* put POR-15 over existing paint, but it's not going to protect the metal. [addsig]

1042596 Thanks, Jim. I'm located in northern NJ. I got held up fixing, prepping, priming and painting the hardtop for the last week and I only just got around to doing the base and clear on the hood, doors, etc today. I hope to have some more photos soon. [addsig]

1042968 If it is a timing knock/ping, try using a better grade of gas and if that still doesn't get rid of it, try retarding the timing a degree or two. It's strange though that you pinpointed it to the distributor area.... Maybe the distributor gear is worn and has some slop allowing it to...

1042969 That reminds me..... For you guys who have the Mopar MPI kit installed on your 258 engines, here's a tip.... If you're tired of having to buy 94 octane just so the motor doesn't ping under load, try installing spacer bushings between the crank sensor bracket and the oil pan. Since...

1043070 I've had a few stubborn ones in my day too. Usually I torch it for a little while (with the puller still installed) and then it comes off. If that doesn't work for you, the only thing left to do is to take the steering box out, take it to your local shop and have them put the 20 ton...

1043071 The manual didn't have the wiring diagrams? That's odd. If you want to post exactly what wires you're having problems with, I can help you through it. After rewiring so many of these things, I litterally know by heart the wire colors and where they go. Just let me know.[addsig]

1043072 Any of those name brand carbs will be just fine for you. Just make sure you match the CFM of the new carb to your displacement and any mods you might have made on the 304. [addsig]

1043076 As for the diagram, just look around the page until you find the labeled termination points suck as "Voltmeter", "Wiper Motor Switch", etc and I think you'll find the diagram a saving grace once you get used to reading it. The wiring diagrams used to save my butt a lot back when I first...

1043333 Use a common jigsaw with a short blade. Make a cut on one side, then cut on the other side of the pilot bushing. Since the bushings are usually made of brass, and the crank is steel, the brass will cut easily and you don't have to worry about damaging the crankshaft. After you've made...

1043334 Not a good idea to drive around without the front driveshaft installed. Your T-case won't last long. As for the bump not allowing you to attach the front driveshaft, I don't know what to suggest without seeing it myself. [addsig]
