    Sniper EFI and ignition type

    In the midst of hooking up a Sniper EFI and have ran into some questions about which method to hook up the ignition wiring to it. My main issue is with what kind of box my MSD 5300 is. Here’s my ignition setup: Ignition control Unit: MSD 5300 (like an orange box, has the stock Mopar plug)...

    Failed Rocker Arm

    Have a LA 360 with EQ magnum heads on it. It's always had a little miss, which I attributed to ignition and carb issues, so I did plugs, wires, distributor and rebuilt the carb (needed a good clean anyways). The miss never really went away fully, but it wasn't horrible so I figured it was just...

    Insulating From Header Heat

    Engine's a 360, in a 79 D150. Running Hooker ceramic coated long tube headers. I'm going to be running an oil cooler using an oil filter adapter plate. I've been trying to plan the best way to run the cooler lines (to avoid heat, rubbing, sharp points etc) and was wondering what the best product...

    Engine Oil Cooler Install

    Recently found out that the engine I'm building up has a partial block fill, so I'm wanting to add an engine oil cooler just to make sure my oil temps don't get too high. Looking at using this sandwich plate: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/ear-510erl/overview/ and was wondering if...

    Magnum EQ Heads, what alternator fits?

    Has anyone on here upgraded to magnum heads on their LA block, and if so, what alternator and bracket setup did you use? Original engine is a '79 360 in a LRE, stock electronic ignition and square back alternator. 1 piece alternator bracket and large idler pulley bracket in place due to no A/C...

    360 Damper Install

    May seem like a simple question, but I'd rather get it right the first time instead of having the pull something apart after assembling it incorrectly. Installing my stock 360 damper onto the crank end, is there any sort of sealant used? Does the press fit between the damper bore and crank...

    360 - Rebuild - Information & Opinions Needed

    Just picked up a 79 Lil Red Express (I know, I know, not an a-body :eek:) and am planning on taking the engine out this winter and either rebuilding as stock, or maybe hopping it up a bit. The whole reason the engine's coming out is because she's tired and at least needs a freshening up. The...

    New battery; weird ammeter response

    So, I'm back at it with the ammeter questions. And this is more or less a 'does this seem normal' question. Here's my history on my little electrical issues with the Dart: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=316168 After all my fixes on wiring and voltage regulator my...

    Newbie, Clutch issues

    Hey there, I'm basically a newbie to working on transmissions/clutches, so I'm in need of some help diagnosing a noise I'm getting. As far as I know it's a stock a833 4-speed, Hurst shifter, in a 69 Dart with a 340. The issue I'm having is what sounds like a 'whirring/rubbing' noise. Not...

    Pinion Seal Replacement

    Have a 741 case, 1-3/8" pinion. Did some research, and found some information that says the seals for 1-3/8" and 1-7/8" pinions are the same, even though some part numbers say they're different. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=4854206...

    New member from Ontario

    Figured since I've been lurking a bit and asking questions I may as well post up some pictures and info of the car I ended up getting. This is as the previous owner had it, I just picked it up a couple weeks ago and have just been enjoying it. It's my first piece of Mopar muscle, thought I'd...

    69 Dart Window Weatherstrip

    Hey there guys and gals. Just picked up a 69 Dart Swinger, and noticed the rubber weather strips on the outside of the front windows are starting to rot/crack. The felt pieces on the inside look to be in great condition, it's just the rubber on the outside. What company supplies the best...

    Back again! Priced correctly?

    Back again with another post of the same nature. I previously posted about a 1970 Duster I went and looked at, and the general consensus was it was overpriced, so I'm asking the same question about the following car...
