Check Out Bob Harvey's Cuda and CONGRATS!

Bob Harvey has become a very close friend to me....we spend literally hours on the phone intermittently and laugh til we cry.  Started out as a business deal, ended up with me meeting a great person and gaining a GOOD friend.

Bob's Cuda has made the cover AND two inside pages of the 2011 YearOne catalog and I'm proud as hell of him.  CONGRATS Bobby, you've done a great job on that car and making the cover was well deserved!  (Oh and glad I could have a tiny little part of that with the wiper motor LOL)

My First Special Order Chrysler 300 Wiper Motor

I had the opportunity to restore someone's original motor for their 68 Chrysler 300 recently.  Great experience for me, and although I had to send the cylinder back two times to the plater, I made my 3-5 week deadline and I was real happy with the motor and the way it looked and ran when it was finished.

NEW Refurbs!!

New Refurbs Now with Plated Cylinders
New Bulkhead Connector and Gasket
Brush Cap View   
Side View           


Instead of the painted cylinder "refurb" I've offered in the past, I've decided to offer a yellow zinc plated "refurb" at about the same cost as the painted motor. Why? Because when I'm set up to build and I'm buzzing along and suddenly I have a "refurb" or painted motor to do, I have to stop what I'm doing, break that core down, soak all the parts, acid dip the cylinder, let it dry, blast the cylinder, check for rust pitting, grind the cylinder, blast the cylinder, prime the cylinder, paint the cylinder...get the picture? Now instead of the time I've "lost" in the preparation for a painted cylinder motor, I just have to grab a cylinder off my shelf and keep building.

So what's the "catch" for the reduced price? No choice of part number, no choice of date code, later model switch plate. That's it. Motor still operates the same, same warranty and we both know the plated cylinder will last a lifetime.

Cost? $185.00 with core exchange. Got questions? Email me: Kim@passion4mopars.com

I have a few of the hard to find 273 cranks for the 68-70 "B" body applications, needed most especially if you're doing a 2 to 3 speed conversion, actual OEM, not restamped. Price is a little salty for some when a repop can be had for about $40, but if you're going for that 100 point car, a repop sometimes won't get it...











I'm just little behind on prepping plating, but it's here and we're moving in that direction...I have a few more cylinders sitting around for plating than I like to have, but time gets away from you and you get stretched a little thin working alone or working with regional distances to deal with LOL

























Got buckets of crank arms ready to plate also...and a crap load already plated and ready to go but I'm getting there LOL

New Web Store New Look

Well the dust is settling from the move....I'm real anal when it comes to customer support and standing behind what you're getting paid for. When my cart provider seemed not to care about my store, issues with the store and inventory, etc. I was having and told me it wasn't their fault and don't lay the blame in their lap the service doesn't work...well I thought my head was going to explode! Anywho, I got my panties in a knot, so to speak, found a new cart provider, moved my entire inventory, set up my payment gateways, changed my DNS records, MX records and closed the old store in about, ohhhhh, 19 hours? I started at about 8:42 p.m. and finished up about 5:15 a.m. Did I say I'm a stickler for customer support???

If some of the info on the website isn't there yet, you can always find it here and as soon as I figure out the new layout, in my "spare time/sleep time" when I'm not prepping and building, I'll get that info back up for everyone. Right now it's show season, Mopar Nats are coming up, I'm a little busy, trying to work in 4-6 additional motors to be at the Nats with someone nice enough to want to represent my product FOR me (talk about a blessing), I'm a little pressed for web design time.

Keep checking back here or there...that's where I'll keep adding any information someone has asked for, needed or I find

New Plating Run Arrived!



Got another 45 plated cylinders back from the plater today...along with a crap load of wiper motor crank arms and now it looks like I'm set, the shelves are restocked again and I can meet a far wider range of requested date codes without the 4-6 week lead time and added expense of a "special order" in having your cylinder plated.

Just an update to let everyone know that I finally found some time, in between Carlisle and the Mopar Nats to restock!

Wiper Linkage Bushing Shim Spring


I added a new product to my "line up" tonight, something that I have people ask me about when they're installing their new motor or when they're experiencing problems with their current motor.

The problem? Slop/slack in the wiper linkage because the bushing is worn. I've had people tell me they attempted to press the bushing out of another linkage set to replace the worn ones in their current project...to no avail.

I've accomplished this procedure, and am offering the spring to assist others in an expensive, less frustrating way, to remove the slack in the linkage from a worn bushing. Check it out at: http://www.passion4mopars.com/product/wiper-linkage-shim-spring
