To put my Hurst competition plus in my GTS I had to cut a slot in the brace that is attached to the floor for one of the rods. It was part of the installation instructions.

Drive line too short? Well it's the original drive shaft and the yoke bushing is only the second one in 114,000 miles which was installed around 60,000+ miles when the trans was rebuilt. Any comments on the visual play in the video above?

I have a vibration that felt like the drive shaft. Investigation showed me some respectable play up and down on the yoke bushing. Enough for me to make a tapping noise pushing up and down when it stops. So I figure it needs replacing. After reading this thread I thought if a shop had the...

I used it on my OEM block to firewall ground strap. Insulation was all brittle. Remove the old and used the liquid electrical tape. Looks good.

I have had a Hurst Competition Plus shifter in my Dart since it was about 2 years old. I put almost 100,00 miles on the Hurst with only lubing and replacing bushings. Original inland shifter was worn out at about 20,000+ miles. Only thing cool about the Inland shifter was the T lock out for...

I found the scale weight. Total car was 3460 and the front axel was 1920 for the 1967 GTS Dart with a 4 speed and bucket seats. I wasn't in the car, stock steel wheels not light weight aluminum, Spare in trunk along with any cruise stuff and probably a pretty full tank of gas. 383 is around a...

Years ago my dad came up with the washer idea when the clutch pedal broke and I didn't know how I was going to get the spring back in since it goes in expanded. He said expand it with a come along put 2"x1/8" thick washers between some of the coils at the bottom, drop it in and slide the...

Right now 47.5 years. Bought it from the original owner when it was 1.5 years old. My first car. Got it when I was 19. Have the build sheet and the Chrysler historical documentation that shows it was purchased from Mr. Norm.

When I was having problems with cooling before having the radiator redone I verified how the radiator was working by using an infrared temperature gun. Check the temperature of the radiator when hot from side to side starting at the top working down. Should be relative even across getting...

I'm running the stock radiator, new core and tubs, in my 67 GTS which doesn't have a shroud which is how it was purchased when new. I found a shroud for it but haven't installed it yet. Running 180 thermostat with flex fan that has the same number of blades as the stock fan. Temperature goes...

Drone is a problem. I had a pretty good case of it. Muffler, H pipe, X pipe may help solve it and maybe not. I tried different mufflers including Dynomax VT mufflers that are suppose to control drone but they only reduced it 12db and it was still annoying. After my journey was done and what...

From what I've read people have installed them in front of the muffers with success. I would think as long as you ars elinminating the offending frequency it should be fine. Don't forget it's the entire length including the radius of the bend in your 31".

Mine use to rattle in my 1967 GTS Dart about 45 years ago. I tried fixing it and it still rattled so I took the spring off and let it stay open. Been that way ever since and haven't missed it.

The 90 I used had a flare you can see in the photo and it was long enough to allow some adjustment. You could also make a cap for the end the you clamp on to get some length adjustment. If you did both you would have inches of length adjustment to the length if you had to tune it. I don't...

In reference to oil viscosity The 1967 Dodge Service manual oil viscosity recommendations are attached in the screen grab file from the service manual. I only use the car spring thru summer to early fall.

I watched the video link you posted. He was talking about trying different resonators to see if it eliminated the drone. Trial and error is a lot of work when you can just measure the frequency at the rpm it occurs, calculate the size of the resonator, install it and your done.

Yes. There was a part of high school physics called wave physics where you studied waves and there interactions and you probably thought when would I every use this information. Here ya go this is it. :-)

They have the engine apart and suppose to take photos for me. #2 cylinder has bad rod bearing plus two other rod bearings are showing wear. They think some of the bearing material from #2 got carried over to those other two rod bears causing the wear. They said there is also a scratch mark on...

I got the 90's and the straight pipes from Jegs or Sumitt to make mine. The 90's were a smooth bend that's one of the reasons I bought prefabed ones. I also used a slip fit on the pipe where it connects to the 90 so there could be some length adjustment/tuning possible. 2" tail pipes with...

Speaking of radio/sound stuff I forgot I had a Sony cassette deck that mounted under the dash. It's still in a box somewhere. Built like a battleship.

I've noticed it knocks for a short time when started then stops when oil pressure comes up then is fine while idling. Well it's in the shop and they will probably have the engine out next week. Once the engine builder gets it apart I should know what's up.

Rebuild was .030 bore with new cast pistons, rings, bearings, new cam, new lifters, valve job etc. I'm leaning toward piston slap since #2 doesn't have the vertical lines around the entire cylinder.

Well the guy from the engine rebuilder stopped by and listened to the engine. He thinks it's piston slap. Far as I can tell from what I have read its' either that or rod knock. Took a look inside the cylinder thru the plug hole to see what I could see on the cylinder walls. Some vertical...

Place who rebuilt the engine is working on having someone stop by after work on 4/28/16 to check out the noise. It has been ~10,000 miles and 5+ years but they have taken some positive actions so I'll see what they say after seeing it.

Last time I weighed the 67 GTS it was 3200+ don't remember the exact number and I misplaced it 383 is 100 lbs more than a 340.

It was bored .30 over with new pistons. Just got off the phone with the rebuilder. Sent them an audio file of the noise for them to listen to it. They will call back after listening to the file. Discussing the noise again with them it's sounding like it is piston slap. Rod bearing he said...

When I changed the lifters all the bottoms had normal wear and still looked like they should. My understanding is if the bottoms of the lifters look normal the lobes should be ok. Missing and light knocking happens at = or >2000rpm. I took a day off work to check the valve springs and do the...

One thing that's been rattling around in my head is the tapping fuel pump, tapping at the front of the passenger side head and the lifters on the passenger side clacking all started close to the same time. keep wondering if it's not coincidence but some root cause.

Don't know if it related but the engine has a miss when running at >=2000 rpms parked when I'm checking the noise. When the lifters on the passenger side were clacking it was running rough.

I suppose it is good considering the spec pressure from the Dodge service manual was with regular oil not synthetic.
