From what I read people didnt need to modify the firewall. it is just in my case the drivers side manifold did hit the fire wall. Now, that could be because I was using a 67 big block K member which could be different than the 68-69 K members or normal factory tolerances or the casting number...

So I found this: Bucket seat tracks 68-69 seat frames between A and B are the same. So there is a possibility the 6-way could bolt up to the seat frame. However that same post says that the seat tracks are different between A & B, but doesnt say what is different... So there is a shot...

With those b bodies manifolds it is a TIGHT fit. I ran them when I broke in the 383 in my dart (it’s an original big block car). They hit the firewall. Everything you said can be done to swap in a big block. You didn’t mention if your car was column shifted or had a console. There is more...

Hello everyone, So as I am suppose to be getting ready for work my mind went down yet another rabbit hole: I may have access to getting a reproduction 69 b body 6-way manual seat track and was wondering if it would not only bolt up to a 67 dart bucket seat, but if it would bolt to the...

This past weekend I needed the jack stands that held up the GTS to lift the Packard up so I could change the front wheel bearings. before I set the GTS on the ground I was able to install the Z bar. That was a pain in the ***. But it fits better now and the operation is a lot smoother! I...

Well I was able to get a little time in on the GTS while home. One issue that has been there since the start is the interference of the Z bar and the headers. Never really took the time to fix it since I could never get the car to run right and the steering was always a pain. Well I had the...

Awesome thank you guys!! I guess I missed this section in the FSM...

Hello, I am finally getting to the point where I believe I can enjoy my 67 Dart on the road. The build thread is in my signature but it is a 383 with TTI long tube headers and a four speed. Other parts in my following discussion are a rebuilt federal power steering pump and a rebuilt...

I made it back to where the car is for a family function and got some time in-between winterizing the other vehicles. I finally started it after the work that was described above and holy cow!! You could balance a nickel on that engine at idle it was so smooth! the idle sounded awesome! After...

I was back at it this past weekend. I was able to get all the retainers and locks changed out on both sides. I cleaned both rocker shaft assemblies and insured the oil drain holes were oriented properly. I Installed all the push rods and rotated the engine to make sure everything worked...

This past weekend I was in the area for a wedding so I got a little time to work on the GTS. Got the passenger side keepers and retainers installed Still have to do the drivers side. Then its on to more inspection and hopefully getting it back together.

Life is really busy... but I was able to finally look into adding in the lifter, putting in a new rocker and rocker shaft, reinstall the the keepers and be good to go! well that didnt exactly happen. As I looked into the keepers, I noticed I had 4 groove and 2 groove valve stems. Looking into...

yea it does appear that the gap is greater than what is on a stock 440 head I have sitting around. Yes the keeper for the intake does appear less round, like it was designed to have a gap. I dont know if it was for a bigger valve because I have the 3/8ths valve stems. I dont think Mopar had...

My notes are not wrong. I checked the receipts. The part numbers I listed are what I ordered. I will say that what is on my receipt and what is on the engine is not the same thing. I can only assume the machine shop used something they had on hand or ordered something else. Which now begs to...

So according to my notes these are the keepers and retainers I got: Mopar Performance P4120618 Mopar Performance Valve Keepers | Summit Racing Crane Cams 99969-16 Crane Steel Valve Spring Retainers | Summit Racing But… the stuff on the car does not look like what those pictures look like

I measured the stems and they are .372, so the 3/8 ones.

Well the thing I’d also like to add, is these bulbs have been in the car for over 4 years now with no issue. So this not working thing is fairly new

Hello folks, I need some assistance. So I was informed my valve keepers looked a little funny when I was trying to fix another problem with the engine which lead me down the road of needing to check the keepers. Basically it looked like the intake valve keepers were sticking out further than the...

for what ever reason MyMopar does not have the 68 manual. Unless they got one in the past couple years. But I have the 68 Dodge FSM printed out in a binder

Thanks for that. I guess that is the best way to go about it. I will try to give that a go around, thanks!

I was driving home from work last night sitting at a light with my left turn signal on (my 68 Dart Convertible). The biker behind me informed me my brake light was out. I am assuming it was only my right one. But I thanked him and moved on. Once I got through the light and across the bridge I...

After Chryslers at Carlisle I decided to take all the cars for rides, including this one... Well go to take it out for a ride again and it is backfiring again! Brought it back in the garage and found the carb was leaking YET AGAIN at the fuel inlet. I have no idea what the hell is wrong with...

I FINALLY got the new push rods in. I measured everything up and put them in their respective areas. Upon first start up it was stumbling and backfiring, needless to say I was a little more than pissed. It wasnt until I looked under the hood that I saw the front of the carb was soaked in gas...

If this periodically happens every couple days you could be having something like voltage spikes, which could be from your voltage regulator. Make sure you are running a quality voltage regulator. Another thing you may want to do, as was suggested to me by slantsixdan, is to run a ground wire...

I got the Push rods on order and unfortunately they did not come in before I went home last weekend, so no run time was done on the car. I did get the radio bracket on the back of the radio so I dont need a piece of wood holding up the radio. I finished installing the speakers and got the...

Okay, this past weekend I was able to go home and get the zero lash measurements. Then today after work I was able to use a height gage to take some measurements of the rods and these are my numbers: The base lengths of the rods and their respective places: 383 Base measurements...

last weekend I was able to get the engine buttoned up and put fire too it. It sounds nice but I still got it to backfire here and there... after some talks it may be that the push rods are a little too long for the motor. The block was decked and the heads were planned as well. I never...

I was able to get the engine mostly together the last time I was in. Didnt get much time due to a family event but the engine is together. Just need to hook up radiator hoses, add coolant and hit the key!! hopefully everything works out well! I was able to get a little more work done to the...

So I ran into some issues on understanding what I was looking for, and how to actually get there. Which was detailed in this Degreeing thread. But needless to say I got it spot on to the cam card! given that I dont believe I was understanding my timing set properly I cant say for certain I was...

Okay so when I took the degrees at the .050" lift, found the duration, took the duration and devided that by 2, and add that to my .050" opening I was getting 107 for the centerline, which is wrong, the card says 109 degrees. So I moved the crank sprocket to the 2A position, lined up the...
