    318 question?

    And also, most SBs actually have a long string STAMPED into the front of the driver side block, right below the head parting line. The first ?? 2-4 figures have the CID coded right into the number, unless it was a rebuild and marked out

    Spark, plug wire resistance

    Are you actually using Taylor wire? Different wire, can be different resistance. "Back in the day" the "go to" universal cut-off figure for factory wires, used to be no more than 1000 ohms per foot, and I don't think I ever found any that high, unless just open. If possible, photos of...

    Weird Problem

    Well and I was going to say ground the cluster, by employing a dedicated ground pigtail. Other than that, you moved something or shorted something, and damaged the IVR circuit.

    Cranks but doesn't start using the key. Starts when using a remote starter switch.

    Has it been converted to electronic ignition, or a better question, WHAT IS the ignition you are using, AKA bone factory stock breaker points, or "some other", or some sort of electronic, and just what is that? The IGN2 ballast bypass circuit is a great place to start as posted above...

    Rear brake line help

    Zero chance you should re-use that TUBE. And you should take a very jaundiced look at the rest of the tubing, as well. I recently replace all the brake tubing in my 04 GMC which otherwise is very low rust. The tubing was a mess. I would guess that GM's recent choice of...

    Compressor relay switch

    It has been a LONG time since I've worked with any of these, and most (refrigeration, then) compressors I dealt with were small enough not to use them.......... But why cant you remount your starter in a large enough box "if needed" and then find and overload that can be mounted...

    Adding Pinion Angle Shims - Tell Me If This Sounds Correct, Please

    What Greg (TB) said The way I read what you are contemplating, you have the two shafts parallel WITHOUT load. You want the two parallel UNDER load. So if the trans is 5 down (sounds like a lot, I agree with Greg, TB, I'd try and raise that) then you want the pinion down maybe...

    Force Update

    Damn. Plus and minus. He is only a year younger than I, and part of that may well be birthday month. A quick search "may" have shown that no other driver is even close to John in age, in top fuel.

    273 Engine will not start - Ideas?

    EDIT LOL You and I were typing at same time Get down to the basics, compression, fuel, spark. Maybe the cylinders are fuel washed. Maybe run a compression check on 2 or 3 easy to get to. Certainly throw a little fuel down the carb, and fuel been sitting may be a problem, make sure...

    Brake Pedal Diagnostics

    That car cannot be fixed. You need to ship it up here to me I would adjust both/ all 4 drum brakes up tight, bleed the brakes, and see what that gets, then slack off the adjusters until they rub "lightly" and go from there. If you are unfamiliar with drum brakes they can be quite...

    67 Dart windshield gasket issue.

    What many guys do is use the 68/ later gasket, which fits all the way to 76. You must but the retainer clips for the 68 and later trim, and of course drum up a set of the 68 and later trim as well. Here's one thread...

    Home HVAC cost?

    A big part of the problem is the games the gobt/ EPA is playing with equipment/ refrigerants. It is a multi prong spear. They are screwing around with refrigerants, and these require somewhat different/ specialized repair/ maintenance procedures and equipment, as well as recovery...

    Electrical problems 73 duster

    Almost sounds like you put tension on the column harness connectors and damaged or pulled out some of the terminals. I would start there, both the ignition connector and the TS connector.

    A-833 2.47 1st gear change to 3.09

    I would change the rear gear, or figure out why the engine won't pull off the line. Here's an example. In the 70's I swapped a bone stock 71 (high compression) low miles 340 into what was my 70 440-6 RoadRunner. You are talking about a fairly heavy car, the "hemi" 18 spline box...

    Electrical problems 73 duster

    Is this automatic column shift? If so you likely got the neutral start switch linkage out of adjustment. Try holding the key to "start" and wiggle the shifter from park through neutral and back. Also if you do not have a shop manual, run over to MyMopar.com and download it, free. Some...

    Which Fram Oil Filter.

    No, Fram has always been junk. I've seen cut apart ones LONG before that, probably the first were mag articles in the early 70's, and first hand with a Wix rep cutting open several about 74-75

    Spark plugs covered in oil - how screwed am I?

    In addition to what has been said about the plug tubes, etc, make certain that something hasn't happened to "wash" the rings. Maybe the carb needle seat stuck and flooded it bad, maybe the FUEL PUMP is leaking gas into the pan. I would get good plugs in it, make sure it seems to be...

    318 oil pan

    Long ago and far away, in the mid 70's, I put a !!!!!!!! 360 !!!!!! into what used to be my 440-6 RoadRunner, and put the 340 that I HAD swapped into it into my old Toyota FJ40 RR. Obviously, this is long before Al Gore invented the internet, and in the back woods of N Idaho. I...

    318 oil pan

    If you are talking about the rear "half moon," no 273/ 318/ 340 pans have the larger cutout, about the same size both ends. The 360 is smaller.

    Dodge Lancer Voltage regulator

    The question, tho is how stock do you want it, and how old and beat is your OEM alternator? If it is coming maybe close to have lived it's days, consider getting an alternator for about a 74 Dart, which is the more modern "squareback" and has two field terminals. Buy the regulator...

    Dodge Lancer Voltage regulator

    MOST modern replacements for the 69 and earlier regulators ARE solid state, HOW DO YOU tell? Easy. If it is about 1/2 as tall it is solid state. If it is full height, turn it upside down and look at the bottom. The original electro-mechanical ones had 1 or 2 wirewound resistors on...

    universal air conditioning and heater

    Some of the aftermarket stuff make underdash kits that are small than the original OEM and mount sort of in place of them. Classic Air is one, I'm sure others will chime in

    318 oil pan

    Be careful screwing around with pans. Especially some of the knock off replacements, (I think Milodon?) interfere with some performance oil pumps Make sure you check that. It is possible for the rear of the pan to stress the pump and crack the casting.
