    New Mancini Timing Cover Fitment Issue

    This whole timing cover fits a 360 along with 273/318/340 is all new to me. Maybe they assume you just put a thick bead of RTV in there and throw the end gaskets away? Or maybe we should feel lucky a new part is available in the first place?

    360 vs 383

    Speaking of weight, what about the weight of original AC compressors? Up high and as far forward as possible? Cast iron heavy.... Small block factory AC vs 383 no AC? No one ever says factory AC small block cars are nose heavy though.

    My 340 getting 6 mpg

    With manual trans I would go Holley double pumper. Maybe compression test and hook an air/fuel ratio gauge up see whats going on. Lastly go new carb not some old unknown carb.

    Wilwood front kits 69 Barracuda

    I run EBC red brake pads, 7/8 rear wheel cylinders, and pressure bleed my system. I do need to bleed them every two years or so to keep a firm pedal. If you pressure bleed you can get a firm pedal. And periodic bleeding can get very long caliper life. Mine brakes pretty good and its manual...

    My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head

    Thanks. I remember looking up part you used showed bushing. Silver Sport sent me a bearing so I put it in. But lot of ppl like bushings cause no way for them to fail like a bearing. Doesn't your throw out spaces rattle at idle? Mine do when engine cold seems to go away when car warmed up...

    Glue rock hard like fast so gave it an extra 30 minutes set console in car. Its sitting on those console brackets really good. The big trans tunnel is disguised. No one is gonna know a 6 spd is under there now ..

    Glued the carpet to console. Used 3M two part adhesive I always have a tube of it around. Its thick like caulk, sets up in 10 minutes, and is crazy strong. Down side is carpet will never come off. But it worked really good was real easy could move carpet around for several minutes then it...

    Wrestled tugged pulled yanked pushed carpet around for hours trying to get a good fit. Which isn't easy on front half with the larger trans tunnel. Holes for seat belts, bolts/washers/nuts where seats will bolt down, rocker trim kick panels, high beam grommet etc. Still some lumps ect but fit...

    Was able to wedge carpet between floor heat duct and raised trans tunnel. Had to pull padding off back side of carpet in that area. It was tight took a while to wedge it into place. Normally there is 1.5 inches or more of clearance between floor heat ducts and original trans tunnel. Only the...

    Found my dads original 1971 duster!

    I believe the '71 340 pass side exhaust manifold had a center outlet which means good chance exhaust won't clear. And once exhaust pipe is on it will be much more difficult to re-orient that 90 degree adapter. My two cents its simply not acceptable having it installed completely wrong and...

    Found my dads original 1971 duster!

    Shop needs to run the bolt out of the center of the 90 degree oil filter housing, pull housing off engine, then reinstall facing rear ward. I would order a new seal gasket kit cause builder may have skimmed RTV on gasket.

    Original owner of my '69 he special ordered the car F3 green with green interior. Could have ordered red, blue, white ect but no he purposely ordered it to look like the green car on the cover of the '69 sales brochure. That's what he picked on purpose. Then sat around and waited for his new...
