Just curious. I put a four-speed in my 1965 Valiant four-door.

Good show: Roku

The 340 I'm currently cleaning up has a date on the #2 main cap of 9-9-71. I don't remember seeing dates on main caps before. Is this commonplace?

Thanks, but it was a two stone hone if that's what you mean.

Yes, please forgive me, went to a Brittney Spears concert in San Diego ciirca 2005. Only thing i remember besides the lip singing is my eardrums hurt at the time with all the screaming. Never again. Now to the subject at hand. I am a little out of practice with the brake cylinder hone. Must...

Just a quick hone to seat new rings and clean surface rust from lifter bores.

I'm on a tight budget and have some Generic ATF in the garage so I'll probably try to use that first. Thank you for the suggestions.

Update: Up until now, I have been working on problems with the front turn signals. Recently, they began functioning. But another problem showsed up at the rear. Will it never end? Forgot to mention that when I recently replaced the flasher with one I purchased at AutoZone, the green arrow dash...

I believe I have used brake fluid in the past for honing lifter bores and maybe cylinders. Since I believe brake fluid may soften the RustOleum red primer I used on the cylinder block, I am looking for some other lubricant. Thank you.

It always bugs me if when driving straight down the highway the steering wheel is not centered. I know in the photo my steering wheel is aftermarket, but my question is if the factory '64 - '65 steering wheel only fits one way (with one different spline/space) or can the wheel be slid on at any...

Update: While I was replacing the positive battery cable (mentioned above) I cleaned and photographed a partial casting number on the cylinder block in order to verify the installed engine was truly a 273 (not a 318). The number for 1964-66 is listed as 2465330 which would correspond to my 2465...

Update: Replaced the postive battery cable with what appears to be an exact reproduction from M&H Electric Fabrictors, Inc. (part #35225). As you can see in the photo, the original cable battery end terminal had been cut and replaced so many times in the past that it was a real stretch to make...

Are we talking about cork, cork compostion, rubber, or rubber with steel insert?

Back in the 1970's with a solid lifter camshaft I checked/adjusted valve clearance on the .580 lift/312 duration Isky camshaft I had installed in my 273 bracket racer. I would like to find a similar valve cover gasket that I used back then that I glued to the valve cover and used over and over...

Update: Now the coolant temperature gauge is working but takes a long time to make it over up to the normal operating range (like half an hour of driving). The fuel gauge came back up from empty to showing a quarter tank full. Don't know if either gauge is measuring things accurately or not.

I don't even remember seeing the short filter back in the 1960's or 1970's. With the 90 degree adaptor, no need for a short filter anyway.

Change the oil and oil filter today

FYI the old filter was a Napa Gold 1515.

I forgot to mention, this is '65 Signet convertible I'm working on today. I used a cheap ratcheting tie down strap. Did not need the ratchet. After cleaning the dirt and grime from the filter surface, I wrapped the strap around 3 times and just pulled up. It was much easier than using an oil...

I have three different styles of oil filter wrenches and they are all hiding from me. Don't really want to use the screwdriver stab.

I think I investigated this question in the past (a long time ago). The question is: I see a little white template thing inside the package that contains the felpro small block rear main seal. What is it and what is it's function? Thank you.

Update: Drove the vehicle around for about an hour today. The horn never blew on left turns. I limited use of the turn signals, but the few times I used 'em they worked OK both left and right.

When I graduated in California from high school in June 1973 I went to work (for the next 20 months) at a Chevron station while attending Community College (Auto Technology classes mostly). I was always paid minimum wages which were $1.65 hour during 1973 and then $2.00 after that. Oh, I worked...

The first scene (an ambush) seems pretty real.

In the '80's my female partner in the United States Border Patrol was issued a mini-14 (by request) the day we chased down a vehicle entering the United States from Mexico at Anapra. We chased the vehicle which was headed toward El Paso. It doubled back and spun out a few yards from the...

"La Mujeras" Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester) plays the winning gunslinger in the first scene. He was married to Betty for a couple of years.

Update: I know the wiring has seen better days, but against all odds I decided to try a new flasher. With the engine off and ignitions on this is what i found testing the turn signals: only the rear signals work now (and of course, the green arrow is not flashing due to the front bulbs not...

I was never aware of the "good luck" reputation of the two dollar bill before now.

Was checking out at the local Walmart here in Mexico this morning when I noticed the lady behind me not paying with Mexican Pesos but with US currency. So I showed her a crisp new US two dollar bill I had in my wallet (thinking she would be amazed to see such a thing)j. Much to my surprise, she...

I have some leftover 318 gasket sets on the shelf. Can I use the head gaskets for the 318 gasket set on the 340 that I am beginning to rebuild? (photo is 340 block) Thank you.
