I had a problem with my Centerforce Dual Friction pressure plate too, years ago. I had one in a 70 Mustang that would run in the 10's and one day I cranked into it real good and collapsed the pressure plate. I had bought it from Summit and called them up. They said they hadn't ever gotten any...

Our car had a Torker on it for years. We took it off because we thought it was leaking coolant into the engine, it wasn't. I put a Victor Jr. on in place of it. The low end was about the same. The top end is much better. Don't know how concerned you are about low end, I'm not. Some dual...

Captainkirk, It's been 6 days since the last chapter, I figured I'd be the one this time bugging you about the next chapter. O:)

I know you don't want to hear this but here is my suggestion. I would pull the engine down, clean everything, and reassemble. I wiped a cam in my 340 and just put a new cam in. I did a couple of oil changes and even ran a "Flush" through it. In about 100 miles, I noticed a knock. This is on...

Working on my father in law's 99 Dodge Dakota. Pulled the transmission and transfer case to replace a leaking freeze plug in the back of the block (V6). What a pain. :sad1:

You may want to "Try" it out at your local welding supply store that you'll be buying from before you buy it. I bought a small Lincoln MIG welder, I think it was the SP-125 and was extremely disappointed with it. The next two welders I bought, a Square wave TIG 175 and a 255 MIG, both Lincoln...

Your welcome :thumbup:

Thank you BoredandStroked. I am pretty lucky with the in-laws. I have always have had an excellent relationship with them. My sister isn't so lucky with her in-laws.

McMaster-Carr carries all types of rubber sheeting. I just looked in a catalog, there is too much to choose from to list. You can check it out at: www.mcmaster.com

Thank you for the kind words 7demon2.

Our car's story isn't very interesting, but is very special to us. My father-in-law was the original owner of our 1968 GTS Dart. He rode around in his soon to be wife's cousin's GTS and wanted one. The MIL's cousin had a 383 in his, ours is the 340. After talking to the dealer, he said he...

Any info on the 440 small block? Did not know one was in the works.

We're looking to be there, parts hunting!

Thanks for the info and pics.

Sent you a PM.

Hello, Our 1968 GTS may have a lower control arm that is bent and I wanted to know what year/cars lower control arms are the same (passenger side). It is a 340 car if that matters. Thanks in advance.

That is one sweet car. :thumbup:

I know what you mean. I bought a set of Probe Industries rocker shaft/adjustable rocker arm assemblies a while back. They would always have to be re-adjusted. I took them off one day and found the adjusters worn down and a lack of oil. It appeared that the oiling hole going to the adjuster...

Are you happy with this cam? If not, would you go up or down in size?

It is a street car. It will see little, if any track time. The car is a 1968 GTS Dart. Weight, whatever it is stock, minus aluminum heads and manifold. The car ran real good for what little had been done to it. Engine is a .030 340, edelbrock heads that are box stock, Isky 310 hydraulic...

Thanks for the input guys. I will check into the stroker kits that you all recommended. What would be a good cam for one? Right now I am running an old style Isky 310 hydralic cam. The old cam that wiped was a 310 Isky that my father-in-law (the original owner) put in, in the 70's and I...

Rotate it one more full crank revolution and it will be at TDC on the compression stroke. Then the cam mark will be at 6 oclock and the crank will be at 12 oclock. Make sure your distributor's rotor is lined up with #1 on the distributor cap and your good to go. Fire it up and set the timing.

It spun the bearing due to laziness on my part. :x First, I had a set of "J" heads that had been milled so rough that they would leak coolant up through the head bolt holes and into the engine. This wiped the cam. Replaced the cam in the car. I didn't tear it down to clean it out, just...

Hello, I am new here and have a few questions. I have a 340 that spun a rod bearing and I will probably need a new crank as this one is already .020/.020. The rod bearing that spun is on #1 cylinder and that connecting rod is shot. The connecting rods are stock with ARP bolts. The whole...
