    4B Edlebrock gaskets and spacer

    I have a 1970 Doge Dart 340, 4Barrel. When we took the carb off to put a kit in, there was no gasket between carb. and non-metallic spacer. Do not know if there is a gasket under spacer, did not take that off. So, when using a spacer, should there be 2 gaskets, 1 above spaer, and 1 below ?

    70 Swinger over center clutch spring

    My body shop guy was doing some body work on my Dodge Dart, and he said we can pop that spring on for you, and they did. He said it was not fun,, he held spring stretched,,,, with washers,,,,, but they would not fall out, so he had to tap the springs out with a small punch. Clutch works easier now.

    What spark plugs for 340

    Thanks for the info,,,,,the AV fuel I think is around 100 octane. Plus it has some lead in it, that should be good for the older engine,,, I think ,,,, The guys at the airport say it works good in old tractors, and lawn mowers. Also use it in your portable generator for power outages,, it will...

    What spark plugs for 340

    70 Swinger over center clutch spring

    Thanks guys for all the tips,,,,, My clutch works fine,,, it is just very hard to push clutch. I guess I can put it on a hoist, and look to see what clutch is in it and see if there is a binding issue. It pushes too hard so I am thinking it does need the spring. I had a Swinger 50 years ago...

    70 Swinger LED turn Lamps

    Well, then it is not a polarity thing, but the LED lamps are wired wrong ?? The green is 12v pos to park light,,, purple and red are 12v pos to each turn , the socket is grounded,,,I have to think your idea, is just a brighter park light,,, as it is connected to the brighter element in lamp, ...

    70 Swinger LED turn Lamps

    When you say reverse wires,,,, was that at the flasher connector ? I see there is a pigtail flasher,,, that says it is blind to polarity,,,, aka,,, Bipolar in a good way,,,, but that may still try to put negative voltage to the lamp,,,,,so,,, rather cut and spice,,,,,,maybe this:: United...

    70 Swinger LED turn Lamps

    I think I got the 4 ways figured out,,, using 4 LED 1157 lamps, 4 way flashes fine,,, but with 4 LED lamps, the turn signals do not work, do not light up, could try the Combo flasher with ground wire in the turn signal plug,,,if that does not allow turns signals to "turn",, I guess swapping the...
