Location: Newcastle, NSW AUSTRALIA | It's a MoPar it'll make it
I'm known by others to put to much trust in my cars but I have never had any problems (touch wood) I always tell people
it's a MoPar it will get you home only time we ever had a breakdown the car wouldn't start in our driveway so just jumped in another
turned out the dizzy gear lost a few teeth
Yeah we usually travel as a group about 10 to 12 MoPar's we leave about 4:30 first stop Pheasants Nest about 6am then stop at Yass
for breakfast about 8:30am then stop at Holbrook so the kids can play on the sub about 11:30am then in Albury by 12:30ish |

I've just started to iron out most of it's problems but it still has a few that could leave me on the side of the road. When i first started taking it out (within a year) it would always be breaking down with some problem.
Too many cowboys have poked a stick at this car, including the ones over here that i have given good money to. I ended up doing the work myself which meant fixing what the mechanics had done or said they had done. Learning a lot but some things are out of my league at the moment or I have so little time.
Just getting my torqueflite problem worked out now...

Location: Sydney, Australia | The set up is a 1967 383 matched to a 1962 Trans with an 4 barrel Edelbrock... The rod setup they used was so bodged together that it never worked. I got a lokar cable setup which improved it so very much but still needs ironing out. When the transmission has been working hard (traffic and stopping and starting) it won't shift from 2nd to 3rd and also very occasionally won't go back to 1st after stop.
It could be a combo if needs more adjusting and bands or valve etc but I don't have enough knowledge or time to get it all to work.

Who is doing the work on the trans ?...It took me ages to track down someone who knew what a cast iron torqueflite's
I know the guy's in the Dodge owners club use a guy in either Richmond or Windsor.

Mike I think Saturday would be the best day and if you can go on into some of the night as well. Here's a flyer and it has the program guide as well.

I saw a 1958 Desoto Firesweep Convertible in a local festival parade and it so happens he has a workshop in my area. If only a new about him before being shafted twice! He also has a 300 and a mopar hotrod and a couple of mopar muscle.. He opened his mechanical shop in the early 70's.

Pete hows your car going?
Hi Matte, getting there slowly.
I have just put on the 4 barrel 600 Holley, next to go on will be the electronic distributor and the new rocker covers.
Have to sort out my brakes next, will get new shoes put on I think and maybe machine the drums. Have also got a new master cylinder coming as the one on it now is leaking.
After not much driving before I owned it its starting to losen up and all the little bugs start appearing, I expected that though so all good with that.
Hope you have a great trip to COTM, darn its a great show. So easy to spend 2 full days looking at all the beautiful Mopars. |

Hope all is good with your lad.

Location: Sydney, Australia | This sucks!!! I haven't even got my car to the workshop yet because of so much rain for the last 2 weeks.. He's only got a small workshop and I don't want it sitting out in the rain.. I know it leaks down the rear window into the boot area and I'm also dubious about the trim fittings along the roof.

We don't have a town called ANZAC but rather a lot of memorials spread out through Australia dedicated to the ANZACS. We also celebrate ANZAC day with marching through the streets of cities and towns by our veterans. That's pretty cool that their is a town in Canada called ANZAC and it still sounds a horn every night in remembrance. I wonder if it's the whole Monarchy thing.

Yeah the 57 was my favourite the only other car I was drawn to was a VIP Valiant was white looked standard we cruised behind it doing 60kph Saturday night the guy hit the hammer & it left 2 black tracks. When I seen it Sunday it had a stroked 318 fuel injected turbo motor went real hard. |
