    71 Duster carpet 4 speed

    When I did mine twice (one for 4 speed the second for TKO) I learned cut once and use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles, seams and humps that are not needed. It will soften the wax on the back side of the carpet to reshape it.

    8-3/4 BBP Wheel Register Size?

    A lip, typically on the axle shaft or wheel bearing hub that the wheel is centered on to be on the same axis as the wheel bearing. This is where hub centric rings come into play to adapt the lip to the wheel bore. Some wheels are lug centric, some are hub centric.

    TKX into 72 Duster issues

    Just looked at this on my TKO, it has a built in speed sensor on the tail shaft and it seems the TKX has the same. Do you have a Ford or GM based TKX?

    CARS The Best And Worst Years For Chrysler's Mopar 440ci V8 Engine

    Seems like an odd article to me about just the 440. All V8's by every manufacture from that era suffered the same emissions/fuel economy fate.

    Your first mopar...?

    No pics off hand but mine was a 1966 Coronet 500 with a 440 and 727 back in the early 90's. My dad still has it, has resorted a lot of it. Just rebuilt the 440 and swapped in a 4 speed.

    china wall sealant??

    New tube of Ultra grey or Right stuff, Mock up the intake and check china wall clearance, if the seals slide in, use them, if they are difficult to slide in just use a heavy bead. Verify roll pins are removed or your intake has clearance for them. If using a heavy bead, watch for voids in the...

    CVF Racing serpentine conversion kit

    I don't know. Seems the mounting wouldn't matter as long its for the correct engine being used and a Saginaw pump. I know Borgeson has brackets but that maybe for those adding PS who wouldn't normally have them.

    CVF Racing serpentine conversion kit

    What pump do you have? If Saginaw, mine is Tuff Stuff pulley and pretty beefy. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tff-8488a I do have some CVF pulleys uninstalled and my dad has a set on a 302 Ford and they are nice too.

    Like the Professor said, mock it up, buy a longer or shorter bolt as needed to set the height then trim the separator tube as needed.

    Wiring Aftermarket Gauges

    Do you have a service manual? If not you can download one. Teh 73 or 72 manual might get you close to find a circuit to test. Service Manuals – MyMopar When I added gauges, I added a remote fuse block in the glove box to power all my Auxiliary stuff like gauges, stereo, etc.

    What all do you have for grounds and how clean are they? Do you use a batter tender to keep the battery fully charged?

    72 340

    Yes as others have said. The 340 cast crank is decent too. Its not the same as a 318 cast crank and the balance is different then a 360. It is lighter than the forged crank and for a street car works just fine. I have one in my 340 that is neutral balanced. That said, until you see the crank...

    Hood hinge on 68 dart seems stuck open

    I used a thread die on mine and put nylock jam nuts on them. I don't recall the thread size. They get loose and want to splay out and be difficult pivot.

    H or X CROSSOVER?

    I noticed drone was reduced when I went from separate duels to an X-pipe. Now, it didn't go away, it moved in RPM when it came on and went, about a 300 RPM shift and became about 20% quieter. Mufflers alone will not stop or cure resonance, for that you need a properly sized resonator(s) and/or...

    69 Dart hood- won't stay up

    There is a torsion spring on each side. So either one or both is gone, unmounted somehow or failed. The fenders (if on the car) need removed to fix the issue.

    Help With wheel tire combo fitment!

    That helps selection of wheels but how was the conversion done? Also all methods of conversion change the track width, typically requiring the wheel to need more offset than stock.

    Help With wheel tire combo fitment!

    Welcome. First off, are you still on the stock 1970 brakes (5x4" bolt pattern) or is the car converted to larger bolt pattern 73-up brakes (5x4.5")?

    360 flat tops wirh Edelbrock heads

    You'll be fine, My 340 is zero deck, closed chambered Speedmaster heads, .034" compressed head gaskets and 2.05 intake valves. Just mock it up and measure valve clearance with play dough, check your rocker geometry and be sure your pushrods clear the tunnel.

    360 oil leak at back of intake manifold

    Did you mock up the intake and see how much gap you had between the intake and the block china wall? Does it leak most when or after a drive? Did your block have the roll pin for the intake still there, these can keep some intakes from setting down. Valve covers (stock or aftermarket) are...

    [Found!] 69 Dart gauge cluster frame that mount to the plastic bezel

    I don't think the 67-69 Darts ever had a Rally cluster. A tach was an option with a console. Below is what I've seen in 4 doors all the way to GTS cars. Only the plastic is different for Convertibles.
