Ok I think I figured it out. The intake I bought ( edelbrock air ram dual plane) doesn’t have the heat cross over. I should be able to just put the intake on without blocking them off. Does this sound right?

Yes. I read somewhere that they need to left open because it is a barrier to keep the heat from the cross over from adversely affecting the adjacent x ports. It also says they need to be open for air to circulate. Thoughts?

What about the u-shape port?

I ended up ordering two different gaskets. One with the hole for the cross over and one without. The one without does not have the cut out for the u-shape hole. Which should I use? And what are the four round pieces in the picture with the gasket with the hole?

Thanks for all the info guys. I have a few more questions. First my heads have the hole for the exhaust cross over but my after market intake does not have a hole for it. So do I have to block it off or is the intake not having the hole enough. Also do the pins on the china rails have to be...

Ok. I read that you put some etc around coolant ports. How much? Stumblinhorse, did you do this. Also if you use the cork gaskets on the front and back do you still apply rtv in the corners?

Hi guys, I have a 340 that I’m replacing the intake gasket on. I’m wondering if I should use the front and back corked gaskets that come with or just use RTV. Also as this is my first time doing this I was wondering if someone has a link to a video I can watch on how to do this. I’m a very...

So I did some calling around to other shops. The price range for a complete build with new torque converter is between $1000-$1300. That was with them taking it out and putting it back in. I wanted to use my local transmission shop but withe the price difference its a no brainer.

Well I asked him last year what it would cost to have him remove and rebuild transmission and install. He said $1000. I asked how much I would save if I pulled tranny and installed myself. He said it would save me $300.

Should I put a 2500 stall converter or just a regular torque converter. The car has a 340 with a mild cam.

All right guys I'm kind of new to this. I have a 727 that needs rebuilt. I took my car, a 1973 dart to a transmission shop. The guy said the transmission needed rebuilt. This was back in September of last year. He said it would cost around $1000 to rebuild. I talked to him a couple of days ago...

Ya so I figured out the problem. It wasn't my son after all. It turns out that the rear brake hose has a hole in it and leaks fluid. I replaced both front brake hoses and I could not get the hose separated from the line, it was rusted on. I tried wd-40 and a torch but nothing. I ended up having...

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys I really appreciate it. Now to head to the salvage yard to get me the right pulley. Thanks again

About how long is that spacer for the p/s pump. I can get a scrap piece of tubing from work or where can you buy it?

I'm thinking after looking online that I do not have the right water pump pulley. Is there different kinds of water pump pulley's for the small block Mopar's?

I was talking about the long bolt that runs through the bracket of the power steering pump. Is there a spacer that the bolt goes through in between the brackets?

After looking at the picture diymirage provided I agree the w/p pulley doesn't look right. It looks like it should sit back further. Is that a spacer I see on the p/s pump?

That could be it. I had my 13 year old boy pumping on the brakes while I was bleeding the brakes. Do I bleed the master cylinder then bleed the brakes? And if so how do I go about bleeding the master cylinder on the vehicle?

I just figured I shouldn't have to measure. I thought the auto parts store should be able to get the right belt. Thanks for the info.

I have a 340 that I put in my 73 dart and I am not sure on the belt diagram for it. I do not have AC. I believe it would be two belts One for the alternator and one for the power steering pump. But I'm not sure of the diagram on either one or the belt sizes. I have gotten several belts from my...

I have a 1973 Dodge dart that I just replace both brake hoses on the front calipers and the calipers. After I started bleeding the brakes I lost all pressure in the brake pedal. Does this mean I need a new master cylinder?

I ended up figuring it out. Another problem I'm having is timing it. There are 3-4 dashes on the harmonic balancer. How am I supposed to know which one to use?

I'm not good at all this electrical stuff but doesn't the distributor need power?

I have a 73 dart that has a 318. I cant seem to get power to the distributor. When I put a test light to the plug for the distributor I get no power but for some reason I get a static noise. I have replaced the ignition control module, ballistor resistor. I have traced the wires back to the...
