Does anyone know where I can get some Voltage Regulator/Ignition Module Firewall Bolts? Or the size and threads per inch, so I can buy a substitute. The ones on my truck and Ramcharger are too short to include a lug with a wire that goes to ground (just to make sure). Also is there a...

Saturday I out the valve covers back on and started the engine. It still has the problem on #6 exhaust which cause a miss, especially noticeable at idle. But overall the engine is running smoother. My guess is the valves were too tight after the oil pressure was boosted with the replacing the...

Thanks for the suggestions. This weekend I will take the intake manifold off and see what I have. I hope it's not too bad. I would hate to have to pull the engine and transmission out of the car. My son and I built this car together and now he has graduated and moved off on his own. Wish me...

If I did wipe a cam lobe. Does the engine need a complete tear down and rebuild. (i.e. new cam, rod and main bearings and de-glaze cylinders?

Thanks to all who replied. I have reset the valves. But I think I found the problem. While adjusting, when I got to the #6 exhaust I found the rocker arm floppy. The adjusting screw was tight,so it wasn't because it worked loose. I adjusted the screw, but it left no threads visible. The...

Wow didn't figure in the rocker ratio. Which is 1.5. Thanks for reminding me. But do you think the valves need to be re-lashed because of the low pressure when they were set? The pressure when they were set was about 12 lbs. Now it is 55 lbs. Anyone have an opinion?

When I first broke in the engine, my mechanic set the adj valves. It ran great and did not overheat. We discovered that the oil plug under the distributor was left out and caused low oil pressure. I have since installed the missing plug. My question is....Do the valves need to be reset, due to...

I was putting in my new gasoline tank on my 1972 Plymouth Duster and noticed that the fuel filler neck was pitted badly and I couldn't reinstall it for obvious safety reasons. Does anyone have one for sale? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, bwhitejr

I have 255 x 60R x 15 tires mounted on 8 in Rallye rims in the rear of my 1972 Duster. Could anyone tell me what 15" tire size/width would look right for the front. The front rims are 7 in Rallyes. All wheels have brushed aluminum trim rings and Acorn caps. Thanks for any advice!

What size fan for a '72 Duster. I believe I took off a 17" for the Slant six that was inthe car originally. Is it still a 17" fan blade for the 360 cu. in I put in t replace the SL6? Thanks,

I bought an old 8 3/4 housing and I would like to find out what came from it measures a little over 56.5 in and the spring perches are at 43 in. It is currently installed on my 72 Duster'

Go to http://www.slantsix.org/forum/index.php There are any number of people that can answer questions about the Slant Six engine on the site shown above.

Thanks for the replies. This the second cable I have installed on this car. The first one suffered the same fate. It was melted by the headers. I was wondering if there is a better way. The car is an A-body with stepped headers and a A-998 trans. There is almost no room to route the...

I have a B&M Megashifter installed in a 1972 Duster. The transmission is a A-904 (998). I need help finding the right length of shifter cable. The cable that came with the shifter is too long. Has anyone had success using the 2' or 3' lengths available form B&M? Thanks in advance.
