    Why do I keep breaking rocker arms?

    About 8 years ago, I bought from a closing dealership what was advertised as a NOS set of Slant 6 rockers and shaft (all assembled) for my '72 Valiant. I questioned the "NOS" claim because of the box (I don't remember the aftermarket name that was printed on it ) but I was blinded at this "Great...

    Hmmmmm, 198 issues

    I like the Boost suggestion. Really, though, the 198 is a sweet engine, eager to rev and very smooth. You can take advantage of the revs with the 3 sp manual. I have a '74 Duster with 198/auto combo at 22K original miles and like it alot. I can't justify a V8 swap. The only thing I am...

    Engine Oil Discussion

    Nice to here from a slant 6 owner in Switzerland ! Until you get the oil consumption issue fixed I wouldn't worry about running synthetic. It is more important to have regular oil/filter changes with conventional motor oil and do not let the oil level get low. I have a few slant 6 cars and I...

    Part hunting for timing chain job

    What ever you do don't forget to put the oil slinger back in before you button it up like I did on my '72 Valiant 225. I got my parts on line for this at Rock. I got Cloyes brand. I have those on both of my Slant 6's.

    Mexican Super Bee

    Whats the recipe for the 318 used in the Mexican Super Bee's.....how did they get the 270HP rating. I am aware that they used the 360 later on but I am interested in the 318 for now. I am becoming more and more interested in these cars both A and F body variants...very cool cars! Thanks

    1986 Shelby GLHS Omni, 6900 miles Not mine

    Biff, The '86 OMNI GLHS was only available in Black. The Omni GLH and GLH Turbo were available in Blue, Red, Silver, Gold and Black. Never the less, which ever one your boss had, it was surely a HOOT. These cars are awesome.

    Never pulled a 6.

    From the cylinder head. There are 2 bosses, one near intake #3 and one near intake #5. Use both bosses at the same time. Have fun! Hope you are refreshening/rebuilding or hopping it up!

    Slant six paint recommendation, for whatever its worth.

    You'd need x-ray vision to tell the difference between the 198 and 225....LOL

    Slant six paint recommendation, for whatever its worth.

    1974 was the last year for the 198. ( sweet running engine by the way )...mine has manual disc brakes and power steering and it's Golden Fawn....I will post some pics.

    Slant six paint recommendation, for whatever its worth.

    Glad to see and hear about your results. The 198 in my 1974 Duster was painted using this great product and I am thoroughly satified with the results. Good Job from this Mobro!

    Capturing a piece of early 70s Trans Am mojo...what can be done?

    The scoops, spoilers, wheel type and decals, that you have got going on, are all a great echoes of Trans Am racing....I'd go also with side exit exhaust like the T/A and AAR.............But let me tell you this those seats are awesome......please tell us where you got them.....those would work...

    Oil filter relocation kit

    Just out of curiosity, check out how the Australian Slant 6 engines had their oil filters relocated.

    High performance 340 exhaust manifolds

    Is anyone reproducing the '68-'70 340 Exhaust Manifolds? I'm looking to buy a set for an upcoming small block build. I don't want to use headers. Thanks

    Some slant six valve covers

    Thanks for the data! If I don't go with a painted cover for my 170 Hyper Pak build, I will go with an aussiespeed....that one looks great despite the weight.

    Targa 'Cuda

    Maybe a 64-66 Barracuda or similar year Darts with the 3/4 vinyl top could actually pull off the "Targa top" look, no pun intended. Nice art work though!

    1974 Duster slant car---- big bolt pattern wheels, discs up front??

    Disc Brakes on an A-body mandated BBP on that car starting in 1973. I have a '74 Duster with 198/auto with front manual discs and it is Big Bolt Pattern. Nice find!

    14x8 on Stock?

    I think you are going to want a 4" back spacing at the most....3.75" would be even better. I don't know if they made those? Then you gotta jack up the rear to clear the wheel lips..

    [SOLD] A Body axles 7 1/4 w/ 4 1/2 bolt circle

    Any A-body, starting in 1973, that had front disc brakes would automatically be 4.5" bolt pattern. If that A-body had a 7.25" rear end, it would have the 4.5" bolt pattern in the back with 10" drums. As an example, I have a '74 Plymouth Duster that is equipped with a 198 Slant 6 and auto...

    A body styles

    I meant quality....though the '71 and especially '72 Duster bucket interiors were nice....sorry for the tangent

    A body styles

    The A body Barracuda was replaced by the '70 Duster. This is when the 1970 Barracuda became the E body. I must say the '69 and earlier Barracudas were a more premium car compaired to the Duster.
