    1973 360

    they were both strippers: manual steering/brakes. both had 3.23's SG's at the time, the dart sport now has 2.71 for road tripping purposes (along with a borgeson upgrade). i've worked on both cars a fair amount over the last 10+ years, so i'm confident in saying that they're a pretty fair...

    1973 360

    i think it was 70 that they didn't make the val in a 2dr? i'm not much of a betting man, but i'd go a slice of ham that a 70 dart is several hundred lbs lighter than a 74 duster/dart sport having driven and ridden in both an early 340/727 dart and a later 360/727 dart sport, the earlier car...

    1973 360

    i didn't see one for dart, but it lists the valiant (so close enough) at under 3K so that's still 250+ all day without the nitty-gritty of 4spd v automatic, undcoating (+30 lb!!) or powersteering, etc.

    1973 360

    do you have a source on this? the reason i'm asking is that it's common knowledge that the later cars were heavier than the earlier stuff. so i'm kinda wondering how say a 74 dart sport with a 360 would be faster than 72 340 dart when it weighs 5~700lb more.

    Super Stock Hemi Cylinder Head Porting with Darin Morgan

    340 Oil Priming Question First Start

    it's fine. fffiiiinnnneeee. there's 60 with the drill. i mean, if you're really concerned with it, you could always get some white lith grease in the can and just aim it on in there with the little straw... the valve covers are already off anyway. then just hit the valve train with some WD...

    340 Oil Priming Question First Start

    this is far too much maths. just pop the rockers off and throw them on the bench and then lean on the starter till the engine bay, hood, fenders and floor are sufficiently covered in oil and hope that the starter lead didn't melt the jacket off and light off all the slick stuff.

    Will S/W gauges work with stock sending units?

    100% agree. the further annoyance is amplified when you wind up having to use like three adapters to make the damn thing work. which just cheezes me to no end. it looks bobo, that's just more potential points of failure, and in my particular case there was just no room to operate in the space...

    340 Oil Priming Question First Start

    they come off as an assembly. 5 bolts and the whole thing lifts off. review the FSM but take note that the torque figure for the attachment bolts is incorrect in some printings. it should be 15~17 ft/lb not the 30-something that is listed.

    Will S/W gauges work with stock sending units?

    that was the problem i ran into. the spec for the SW gauges was just different enough from autometer and universal that they either flat *** wouldn't work or the reading was inconsistent enough to give me pause. i'm sure there could be a work around but i just splashed the $30 for the SW temp...

    Short Shaft Slip Yoke 727's in Old Airport Tugs?

    in my travels i've seen a handful out in the wild. eons ago i bought a 74 W200 with a 440 that had a shorty w/ a slip yoke and a divorced NP205. the 440 and NP205 were absolutely how it left the factory, but i can't say with 100% certainty that the shorty 727 was there from the start, although...

    340 Oil Priming Question First Start

    have the rocker arms been off the heads at some point recently? they need to be orientated in a specific way on assembly so that the oil feed holes in the shafts align with the ones in the head.

    Will S/W gauges work with stock sending units?

    yeah, that's pretty much the game. i just went thru this whole hoopla with a temp & fuel gauge, thought i'd save a few bux and order up some "universal" units, and after a few rounds of dicking around with crap *** crap quality and rubegoldbergain fittings and tearing my hair out over how much...

    Will S/W gauges work with stock sending units?

    SW stuff works with their sending units. you can buy aftermarket/generic sending units but it's kind of a crap shoot as to the accuracy and quality. they 100% don't work with stock sending units-- at least the ones i tried.

    What dashboard gauges are most useful for a slant?

    Nv3500 vs ax15

    correct. it aids in the structural rigidity of the frame in that it ties the floor and the t-bar mount area all together.

    Nv3500 vs ax15

    remember, it's also the hoop above it that attaches to the floor that also provides substantial support.
