Thanks for the replies. I've been charging the battery all night. hoping to get it running today. I really appreciate the info.

I'm feeling pretty dumb about now. I just got out my mirror and checked the back of the carb. Low and behold, there's the port I'm looking for. Now that explains why I couldn't get the damn thing running either. So, with that part out of the way, which of the two smaller ports on the carb...

I had my carb rebuilt and didn't reinstall it for several months. In the meantime, my memory faded. The passenger valve cover has a breather. The driver valve cover used to have a hose going somewhere. Attached is a couple of pics. I can't recall which port to connect my Vac Advance to on the...

69_340_GTS: I thought so too. The new gear is slightly larger than the old one. I'm not sure if this is 'cause it's a double roller set or not. I don't want to risk it. I already didn't want to do this timing chain, let alone have to do a full rebuild; lol

Thanks for the replies. I ordered the wrong part and just now ordered the correct one. sorry for crying wolf. Hope this may eventually help someone from making my mistake in the future. thanks everyone

I think I made a boo boo

Uh oh. Did I buy the wrong part? I just looked a little closer at the applications for this part. can I still use this?

So I just took a closer look at the new and old crank gears (photo attached). The new gear has what appears to be a very noticable DOT. but does not match the old gear (on the left). If you look very close at the new gear, there is a faint "dot" that matches the dot on the old gear. Should I...

70 Valiant, 318 Replacing timing chain. Old chain/gears were aligned with dots at 12 and 6 prior to removal. New Mopar P5249267 double roller set purchased. When I try to install, the crank gear is off by a few degrees. The old chain was loose and had 10* of play, so I think some teeth may...

Just came across this on youtube. about 40 to 60 bucks on Amazon.

After my son's fender bender, the side marker lens lost the tabs and would not snap into the housing. 60+ bucks for a lens was just a bit pricey for me. Here's my cheap fix. Pack of 12 super magnets, .375 OD. Using some gorilla glue, I glued three super magnets (neodymium) to the back of the...

Still available?

I have been toying around with the idea of electric power steering for my '66 barracuda. It uses the unit from a Saturn Vue. Here's a guy that put one on his cobra: It requires a special "box" made by a guy in portugal: Saturn Vue Ion Chevrolet Equinox – Electric power steering controller box...

Thanks Dkruse, I found a fender locally.
