Re: Canada Trip

Fascinating story and thanks for sharing it with us. Love reading and seeing this sort of stuff which is impossible to do on the likes of social media and one of the main benefits of having a forum like this. Staggers me though as to how someone could trust so many cars to this 'restorer' over a per...

Re: 440 misfiring so time for some TLC...

Final update / outcome. Searching on here I found another thread where someone bought / recommended a 12v coil & electronic distributor by Assault Racing. I dropped them an email, had a very quick reply pointing me to their Ebay store 'kmjperformance' and bought their packaged coil & distrib...

Re: 440 misfiring so time for some TLC...

Just a quick update on the misfire. First thing was the spark plugs out. Pretty evident Cylinder 1 plug was fouled up, burnt out and not firing. Plug gaps were all less than 20thou and evident they were not getting hot enough on the Left bank. Right bank plugs were all a good colour. Changed all the...

Re: 440 misfiring so time for some TLC...

Thanks Dave for all that information about the coils and getting the timing sorted. I'm not expecting overnight success here as I'll work my way slowly through the problems over the next couple of weeks but I will post up what I find & fix. Thanks again. :thumbright:

Re: 440 misfiring so time for some TLC...

Thanks Dave I did wonder if the standard Mopar dizzy would be good enough seeing as there seems to be a fair few aftermarket electronic ones on offer, but I'll see what I can find. Dumb question ref the low primary ohms coil... is that a coil that operates with the ballast resistor (as I already hav...

440 misfiring so time for some TLC...

Charger is now tucked up in the garage as the 440 misfire has become really noticeable now when running at a steady throttle. Accelerate and its fine. Idling is fine. So changed the distributor cap and rotor as the old cap was really bad. Had a new coil & ballast resistor a while back. Now going...

Re: Help from any Swedish owners on Reg Docs

Thanks guys - not got the yellow Part 2 but like you say they both have the same information on them so I can't see what the issue will be. I'm writing back to say I wasn't given Part 2 but I'll give them my phone number as you say; good point thanks. Fingers crossed it'll be OK as its a bog standar...

Help from any Swedish owners on Reg Docs

Need a little bit of clarification. I've purchased an imported Swedish vehicle and got Part 1 of the registration document. DVLA are asking why I did not enclose Part 2. Its my understanding that the Swedish owner would have surrendered Part 2 when selling the vehicle for export as they have to offi...

Re: Help needed to trailer my Cuda!

Have you asked Kingstown if they will deliver? They all know the regular delivery companies and should be able to put you in touch with someone? Worked for me when I used Hills out of Southampton... and the cost was less than my time and expense to hire a trailer, etc....

Re: Plymouth GTX. New suspension. Any recommendations?

Depends how much you drive it. Ive uprated 'old suspension' with stiffer lower springs, polybushes, uprated shocks, etc and the car ain't a pleasure to drive anymore as its so stiff it bumps and bangs over our crappy potholed roads. Stick to standard set up is what I have done with the Charger as ju...

Re: Cement Drive advice

Have a look at this and make a judgement. https://job-prices.co.uk/concrete-driveway/ You got about 60 m2 there to get covered. Concrete you need about 12m3 which is about a grand but its all the other stuff like reducing the ground level, putting down a proper sub base, edging, drainage, expansion ...
