    Distributor Question

    Just purchased a custom set of 8.5 MSD plug wires with the straight boots for the 340. No.7 wire is stretched across the engine and has very little slack in it, because it connects to the cap on the far side, ( passenger side). My No.1 wire is at the back of the cap against the fire wall...

    Carbonned Up

    What would cause the No.4 spark plug to carbon up on my 340? All the other plugs have a nice tan colour. Running Autolites 65. I might have a bad plug wire?? (Accell's) Timing is right on. Any ideas?

    Flex Plate

    Hey Guys I want to replace my flex plate, but after I undid my TQ, it would only go into the trany about 1/4". No way to get at the crank bolts...hardly see them. Do I rotate the TQ until it slips back. Don't say the trany has to come out!!!! Whats going on?

    Thermostat housing- small block

    What year housings were made of cast iron and not white metal. I can't stop mine from leaking. I sanded it flat with 80 grit as suggested. It was warped alright. This is my fourth attempt. I'm not over tightening it. I will try it one more time with no gasket and RTV only. I looks like...

    Ld 340

    I just put the LD 340 back on. Started up OK except the timing need to be adjusted once the dizzy went back in. I NOW read on the Victory Tech Papers site that "the plenum is divided except for a small notch for idle balance". How much of a notch and where? All the pics of dual planes I've...

    Intake ?

    Hey Guy's I'm about to install my LD340 back on to my 340. Read on different sites that some block the crossover at the head and some at the intake. I would say 50/50. My thinking....even with gaskets with blocked crossovers, wouldn't it be better to block it at the head, which is the...

    Harmonic Balancer

    Just when I thought I had uncovered EVERY gremlin on this car in the last 5 years.... I was fooling around with the front sway bar when I looked up at the balancer, and on it it said...use with 340 cast crank only! My 340 is definitely a '70 engine which is supposed to have a steel crank...

    Regulator test

    I have an FBO electronic pre 70 external reg on the Fish. How do I test it? If I place a probe on the field terminal and the other on the alt field terminal or to ground, my volt reading should pulse or fluctuate between 13.5 and 14.5? I think. My alt was tested and shows it's...

    Choke hook up

    Since I've owned this car, my electric choke was always connected to the field connection at the regulator. Should it be connected to the ign terminal or does it not matter. I'm thinking the reg acts as a switch, so it's not always getting 12v???? Yes...no??

    Another brake question

    Did the 75 Dart disc conversion on the 69er. Everthing is 75 Dart up front. MC to pads, Volare hoses, B body drums out back. Have one of those 4 wheel prop valves from SSBC. First time I took it out, SSB instructions say to start with 'increase rear pressure'. Rears locked up. Backed out...

    Pedal travel

    Just completed the disc upgrade on the Fish. Seems to me there is too much pedal travel...about 3" from top of pedal to where it starts to grab. Seems like I had a higher pedal with the drums. I replaced the master twice with new ones, new calipers, lines ,hoses.... I swapped out the...

    Strut rod nut

    What torque setting would I use for my 69 Cuda on the strut rod nut at the K frame? I'm using the Moog 2 piece Problem Solver with the steel cups facing out. I think it needs about 50 ft. lbs. But, that will likely put it passed the pin hole. Right know it's only snug and I can get the...

    Brake warning light

    I went with one of those SSBC four wheel aftermarket prop valve that doesn't use the dashboard warning light. Short of pulling the bulb, which is not an easy thing to do, how else can I make that light not come on? Thanks

    Prop Valve

    As part of my front disc conversion, I need to verify something. Look at the pics below....where does the O ring go? This is a 73 to 76 disc valve plunger just past the front inlet.

    LCA Pivot

    On the non greaseable LCA bushings, (stock), can some chassis grease be applied to the inner shell before the pin is pressed in? When the arm travels up and down, the pin in the inner bushing is the only area that acutually pivots, right? Mine were so tight coming out, it seems like the...

    Alignment Specs

    Hey Guys: After completing your '73 to '76 front disc conversion on your '67 to '69 Barracuda, what sort of alignment specs did you end up with? I'm looking for at least 2* caster and 0.5* camber. Is this achievable with stock UCA and bushings? I keep hearing how those Moog UCA...

    8 3/4 Question

    Just put my 8 3/4 together, and torqued the nuts on the centre section to 45 lbs, except for one because of a stripped housing bolt. I can get about 30 lbs on that one, but beyond that the stock nut will slip. Would you take it apart to replace the stud. Is the stud pressed into the...

    Never really left!

    I was recently asked why I was inactive on this site. Truth is, I always checked in, as with all the other Mopar sites all claiming to be 'the best on the planet'. They are all good or they wouldn't all exist. I just can't frequent them all. I've had my 69ner for 4 years now. FABO was the...

    Offset Bushings

    Are all A body UCA cam bolts the same..especially diameter? Just picked up a set of Spicer offset bushings, pn 560-1047, which is apparently equivillant to Moog K7103's. I have the cam bolts from the 76 Dart that I took the arms from, and the bushings are really sloppy going over the...

    Axle seals

    Clutch Fan

    Think my clutch is toast. I gave it a flick, and it went around about 1 full revolution. I thought it should only move 3 or 4 fan blades. Does it matter if it's checked hot or cold? Would a flex fan be a good replacement for it or would a clutch cool better at idle? Thanks

    Fan Pulley

    Hey guys: Trying to install a shroud on my 340. Removed the 4 bolts that run through the flange of the clutch fan, which goes through the pulley, that attaches to the water pump. What else is holding it on?
