Propshaft UJ's

My car is a 73 Charger, 318 with a light duty transmission (according to fender tag). So which ones do i need to buy?? It looks like there ...

Oil and ZDDP

I've been agonizing a bit over the last couple of weeks about what kind of oil to put in my 318 when i do a change this weekend.

Hmmmm...
I'd have thought they'd have asked for a code or membership number, and then could have discounted members whenever they booked.
Bit tight on the part of the Pod..
I'll be booking mine online then i guess. :roll:

What is that discount? Is it more than the tenner saving by doing the advance booking?
I'd have though if anyone was going to get a decent discount at the Mopar Nationals, it would be the Mopar Muscle Association....

It should be fine, if it mounts up and the wiper arm linkage fits, then it should be a simple case of elimination with a meter to find out which wire is which. You might need an assistant to move the switch while you check which wire is getting 12v at any one time. Make sure you figure out which wir...

While i was in mexico, i visited a few parts stores looking for some new rear shocks. Unsurprisingly, i didn't have much luck. I was quite specific that i wanted Monroe Max Air. Thought i might save a bit on shipping. I even had the holiday reps phoning round for me. Lol. Anyway, in the end it was d...
