    Losing coolant at manifold heat riser - Why?

    Yeah, they were ported by my machinist-rebuilder. Think some radiator sealer would work? If it's the head I'm in for a lot of work and I'm out a lot a LOT of money.

    Losing coolant at manifold heat riser - Why?

    Just one side, the passenger side. I think maybe I'll do a compression check of all the cylinders on that side. Did a compression test of the cooling system and it held steady at 14 lbs. A manifold crack sure would be easier to fix than a cracked head. As I said earlier though, there is no...

    Losing coolant at manifold heat riser - Why?

    OK I uploaded the pic. Why is it not here?

    Losing coolant at manifold heat riser - Why?

    Here's a pic of what I'm referring to. This is not from my engine, but from another one in the shop. Coolant oozes up through the deep hole area (inverted "C") and boils away. Can't figure out where it's coming from.

    Car takes ALOT to move it...

    I've got the same problem with my 340 727 Duster. Have you gotten the car up fast enough to shift into 2nd and 3rd? Mine won't go into 3rd. I adjusted the kick-down linkage and it helped some, but I'm still left with problems. My converter is 2500. It's my first non-stock one. But from what...

    Losing coolant at manifold heat riser - Why?

    When running my new motor, I notice that there is coolant boiling in the little C-shaped hole on one of the heads. Not a lot, but it's worrisome. Can't figure out where the liquid is coming from. Is it possible for it to ooze up through the manifold bolts? There is no coolant in the oil. When I...

    TTI headers ready to go in....any advice?

    I put mine in from the top down, but I had the motor off the mounts and as high as I could get it. It was a little tricky, but I got 'em in OK. I did not have any of the transmission linkage in place though. That came later. The bushings I mentioned sit within the header bolt holes. 1 on each...

    Timing problems

    Well, I pulled the front of the motor and I found that the crank sprocket has 3 keyways with several marks around the outside perimeter. Obviously this is a hi-po set. But still, my rebuilder is reputable (more on that later) so it should've run fine. Well, as I posted, it didn't. What I did...

    Throttle Cable Woes

    However ... not all stock cables have the same firewall grommet.

    Rear Tire Sizes

    I have P255 60 /15s on my 70 Duster, mounted on Vintique 8" wide rallyes. There is about 3/8ths inch clearance to the spring. They only make contact when I jack up one side of the car. Probably would rub going around corners at 100 mph !! Outside - no problems. I use thin spacers for the front...

    TTI headers ready to go in....any advice?

    I put them on my Duster 340 a few months ago. It was a fairly easy one-man job as I recall, but you do have to get the car quite a ways off the ground. My motor and tranny were in, but jacked up as high as it could go off the motor mounts. Warning: If you have the right angle oil filter...

    Timing problems

    Actually, I may have been WRONG on the two "o"s lining up. I found an old digital pic of the car as it came from the rebuilder and and the two "o"s are off by about 5 degrees. The camshaft sprocket though IS however lined up with a mark that looks like an "o" on the outside edge of the crank...

    Timing problems

    I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out what's wrong with my freshly rebuilt 340. A shop did all the basic work including installing the cam (centered) and the double roller timing chain w ma mopar's nifty new chain tensioner. The car started right up for cam break-in, but later when I checked...

    Vanity Plate Ideas ?

    Finally got my Street 400+HP '70 Duster 340 alive and kickin' and got to get it registered. I'm not too creative, so I'm wondering what some of yooze guys have for vanity plates. Here in NJ we're only allowed 7 letter/numbers. All the good ones are taken. I came up with one PURRPLE (My car is...
