I took the cover off of my A833 because it wouldn't shift. I found a broken shift fork. But aren't there also supposed to be detent balls between the shift lever cams and the pin cylinder? I couldn't find them anywhere. Could these missing parts have been behind difficult shifting that...

Ok - any suggestions on how to install the next oil dipstick tube I'll buy without destroying it?

I have a couple of Fel-Pro head gasket sets, one of which is a 1008. Both of them are missing several holes that both my block and head have them. I have a 1970 340 with X-heads. The image below shows a couple of missing holes in red, and one hole in yellow that is a lot smaller than the...

My 340 overheated and one of the heads warped. The machine shop says its because whoever put the engine together the last time didn't use lock washers on the head bolts. They said they could tell because the bolts dug groves into the head. Does this make sense? The ARP replacement bolts I...

Last week my wife's post-chemo CT-SCAN revealed she is completely cancer free. Thank you for to all your prayers! Yesterday, we became grandparents. A beautiful 9-lb boy. They named him after me. The week after next I go in for open heart surgery. I'm not too crazy about signing up for...

I just installed a new HEI module under the distributor on my 340 with the commerical heatsink. Now the engine runs rough at all speeds due to what feels like a misfire. I put a timing light to each spark plug wire and noticed something strange. On seven cylinders, I get what appears to be a...

I ordered a BnT replacement boot kit Q-112 from oldmoparts.com but the new boot looks nothing like the old boot. I have a 64-65 833 so I assumed the BnT joint was from the same year. Can someone help me identify what I have?

It was only 40 degrees out in the garage this morning so I stuck a small space heater under the engine while I was working on it. A half hour later, a heard a periodic ticking noise from inside the engine. Could this be the lifters?

I was sold a set of springs that are marked P4510268 and P4510269 which would make them XHD make suitable for my 70 Duster. However, the forward sleeve is way larger than the ones I just took off the car. The bolts just flop around inside the sleeve. Any idea what that means?

Cool and rainy in CT today. I picked a good day to change the rear springs. :cheers:

For 10 minutes, I got lost in this and forget all that is bothering me. These are some brave people. http://youtu.be/KYHh6VW_8Nc

What would you say was the best MOPAR engine of all time? The 426 Hemi claims the popularity title. The 340 was only around for five years. I would argue the 225 Slant Six benefitted far more people. Chysler even had some pretty respectable performance versions, some producing more HP than CU.

These are so real they seem unreal, if that makes any sense. I wonder how long it took him to do all these? I wish we could get him to do this for a group of A Bodies. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24796741@N05/sets/72157604247242338/show/with/2346008881/

I'm not looking to start a word war over which cam is the best to use. I know Lunati and Comp make great cams for modern builds. But I'm stuck with what I got for now - I can't afford to drop another $400 into my car for a new cam. I'm restoring 70 340 Duster. No plans for the strip, I...

I remember played this song over and over again in my Duster in the 70's. Call me Ole fashion, but they just don't make music like this anymore. Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Amsterdam 1995) - YouTube

I've read of other members that haven done this a LOT faster, but my hands and my eyes don't work anything like they used to. This took me three full days just to tape. Between fixing the cracks, reconstructing tabs, sanding, taping and painting, this grille is a big time eater. At least I...

Is this thing lined with 14 carat Gold? And you get to pay shipping too. Shucks, too bad I don't need one. :evil4: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-MOPAR-ORIGINAL-WATER-RADIATOR-DRAIN-****-CUDA-CHALLENGER-340-383-440-426-/121081957862?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c310c0de6&vxp=mtr

I was looking for a 12V 30 amp Relay and came across this BIZARRE product description. :wack: http://eidowurv.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/great-offer-absolute-rls125-12-vcd-automotive-relay-spdt-3040a-save-more/

Somebody please explain to me why Lays would do this?

Ok so it's not a A-Body but this 71 Cuda has the coolest looking scoop assembly I have ever seen. http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/plymouth/cuda/1544534.html

Who would think a car like this 4-door sedan would have a 6.2 Liter, 415 HP Corvette engine in it. 2014 Chevrolet SS. This is getting ridiculous.

I know this is really old news but I was really surprised to see how strongly Car & Driver verbally attacked then Senator Obama for driving a Chrysler 300C. http://www.caranddriver.com/features/what-would-barack-obama-drive
