1966 Dodge Coronet 440 Trim and 440 engine
This car is my baby. I have a couple other projects I want to finish, sad to see it go but its time to move on. Ive owned for about 3 years and put lots of money in it.
This car is in incredible shape. CLEAN Oregon Title!
I am a ASE Master Automotive Tech and a Master Heavy Truck Tech and I put this car together myself, so feel confident it had been done right.

Engine
1971 440 - steel crank, 9 to1 compression, Edelbrock E-street 75cc chamber heads. 224/234 @.050 .497int .520exh after the 1.6 chromoly roller rockers. Double roller timing chain. Comp pushrods, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. Quick Fuel 750 carb, Billet distributor with blaster coil. 1 7/8 hooker headers into dual 3" single chamber mufflers with turn downs. Aluminum water pump and housing, mini denso alternator, mini starter, optima red top battery. SFI balancer and SFI B&M flexplate with all arp fasteners. 4 core aluminum radiator and a flex fan. K&N air filter. I always use non-ethanol premium fuel.

Transmission
Shift kit, 4 qt extra B&M transmission pan, aux cooler and cooler in radiator all plumbed with 4 an hydraulic line. Custom phoenix transmission 9.5 torque converter 2800 stall ( I wanted it tight for street use) Bolt on 1/4 Aluminum drive shaft loop

Rearend
489 case 8.75 - 3.91 suregrip, adjustable pinion snubber. Landrum 200lb rear springs and competition engineering 3 way shocks

Other
Manual steering, lightweight aluminum master cylinder with disc proportioning valve, car is still 4 wheel drum brakes (stops great). Small 7260 ujoints. This car needs nothing but driven, if someone want to do some upgrades I recommend getting a 1350 driveline and converting to discs in the front (you are already half way there with the mastercylinder and prop valve) just to handle the power its putting out. New tires and draglite style wheels

Body
I don't have a ton of history on the car other than it was garaged most of its life. The paint you see is ORIGINAL, oregon has a great climate/doesnt salt the roads so cars hold up really well here. The body isnt perfect, it has 48 years of wear. There are a couple dings and some chipping and a spot I had painted by the drivers door handle (other
owner spray painted about a dollar bill sized section, not sure why) There is some very slight rust starting in the lower rear quarter panels behind the tires. There is also a slight wrinkle or dent on the passenger side quaters and lower passenger side front fender. All trim and bumpers are perfect. Still has factory wiper arms with wind deflector.

Interior
New carpet and headliner, custom made dash with autometer phantom gauges. 2 5/8 electric oil pressure, water temp, trans temp and volt meter. 3 3/8 160 mph speedo and 3 3/8 8k tach. Original radio but does not work. Heater core isnt hooked up ( I didnt want the ugly heater hoses in the engine compartment and I dont drive it in the winter) Front floor pans were professionally patched, the rest of the floor and trunk floor needed no work. Had the floor pan and trunk floor coated with por15 and the trunk floor sprayed back to body color. The seats have a couple tears in them, not bad for 48 years, Door panels and dash or original

I wanted to see what the car would run in the 1/4 mile before I sold it, so I took it to the local dragstrip. It ran 13.1 @106 on street tires! Confident that it will run 12s with a little tweaking if that is what you want to do with it. You will not be disappointed with this car, I drive it on and off to work, when the weather is nice, which is 60 miles round trip. The car has never let me down. Last time I did plugs, I did a compression test and there was 155 psi on every hole + or - 2 psi. Great oil pressure. Runs right around 180 on even the hottest days, Transmission has never gotten over 165 degrees.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns

Wed, May 4 2016

These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.

Dodge Charger Pursuit takes Tesla interior approach

Fri, Sep 11 2015

A police car's computer is just as integral to its duties as a set of lights and sirens. The popular approach for these systems is to grab something like a Panasonic Toughbook laptop, add a big, bulky tray to hold it, and use this inelegant setup for running plates and doing all the other things a cop needs to do while on the road. The downside, besides simple aesthetics, is that this arrangement robs the officer's shotgun-riding partner from legroom. Dodge, though, has come up with a far more elegant and functional solution. Taking a page out of Tesla and Volvo's book, Dodge has replaced the five-inch UConnect display and laptop mount in the Charger Pursuit police car with an enormous 12.1-inch, portrait-format touchscreen display. Called, UConnect 12.1, the new system doesn't do away with the old fashioned computer outright. Instead it moves the bulky unit to the trunk, where it can connect to the display via an ethernet cable. This is good for multiple reasons. First, there are no pricey installation or upfitting charges, like there are for most laptop carriages. Secondly, the plug-and-play nature of the new UConnect system won't require the department to buy new laptops. And third, there's no need to retrain officers, since the only thing that's really changing is the input. While the Charger Pursuit will continue to offer redundant audio and HVAC controls, the 12.1-inch display can, at the press of a "button" split to display Fiat Chrysler's familiar 8.4-inch display. Make one more tap on the screen, and the police-issue laptop can be managed through the full touchscreen. The touchscreen will also display a menu bar at the top of the page, which can easily be edited by officers. All it takes is a simple drag and drop from the application menu to the top of the display. According to Dodge, the touchscreen will even play nice when its operator is wearing gloves. "As America's high-performance police vehicle, Dodge Charger Pursuit is going big for 2016, offering a massive, Uconnect touchscreen system that streamlines a law enforcement officer's computer system with our easy-to-use Uconnect system – on an all-new laptop-sized 12.1-inch touchscreen display," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge and SRT's president and CEO.
