    Boise on fire

    Is that the Valley fire? Made quite a run for starting today, already listed at over 7,800 acres. Just FYI, for those in fire country there's a really great at called "Watch Duty". It updates with information on pretty much every fire, will send you notifications for fires in your area, has...

    Rod Bolts

    If you know the history of the bolts, you will know what to do. If the bolts were ther before you bought the engine, You won't know the history of whether they have been torqued properly, overtorqued at some time, Engine over revved before. All affect the ntegrity of the rod bolt and nut.

    Rod Bolts

    So will new bolts be torqued, stretched. That is what keeps them tight. These bolts are not torque to yield.

    The square shaped entry on the primaries and the hole in the deck for a choke rod are dead giveaways that it once had a choke horn and it’s been milled off. Holleys that were born without a choke horn have a radiused entry on both primary and secondary sides. As said above, later model 3310 and...

    Electric fan runs all the time

    Just FYI, this thread is almost 2 years old . The OP with the temp issue hasn't posted on FABO in almost 2 years either. @mopowers revived it with his new question, but I don't think it's probably worth trying to give advice on the original topic.

    Rod Bolts

    Rod failures are mostly due to rod bolt failure. How much are rod bolts compared to your engine cost. Remember that any fastener that is torqued, is stretched. Now modern engine fasteners are mostly torque to yield. That is guranteed a one time use. It is only a small amount of money for...

    IIRC, the later 3310 had Its not "quite" a DP (2 30cc pumps) but I have the 50cc accelerator pump kit on it. Should give some advantage

    I don't believe you are getting an accurate engine temp. Get an infra red gun to test. Test temp sender as well as the gauge. New doesn't always mean it works. To constantly run at 145° something can't be right . Unless you are living in 30° weather, it has to be higher. Fans are intended to be...

    Upgrades to my stock 273 67 Dart GT

    yeah man, it'll make it louder. volume is kind of a product of pipe length, muffler, and compression. if you have full exhaust to the bumper it'll be quieter than dumping it at the axle after mufflers. but you're running a relatively low compression stock motor, unless it's straight pipes out...

    I agree, it holds the settings with the battery disconnected. I’m sure at some point if it sat long enough they might have to be re-entered, but I know I’ve left my battery switch off for days and even weeks at a time and the settings held.

    [WANTED] 67 - 69 Dart hood

    Erie auto wrecking ( I 25 and Erie Blvd?) has a few Darts. Speedway just east of them has a 68. I don't recall if it had a hood. They do have a GTS hood sitting on another car but it's in really bad shape.

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I just got my first A body Mopar, a 68 Dodge Dart 270. I bought this car from a guy who converted it to a dedicated race car and I'm in the process of converting it back to a street car. It has 440, 727 and 8 3/4 rear end.

    Annoying ticking sound while driving.

    A bit tricky to do with a manual but if you can safely load up the engine with the hood up you might be able to see the engine rock. Also look at the blade tips and the inside of the shroud for signs of contact. Another thought is if the thrust bearing is going maybe the crank is moving and...
