Is it possible to get your super front end rubber bushing kit but substitute with poly graphite upper control arm bushings?

Good article thank you. How do the 1.03 bars ride? Harsh or just the right amount of firmness? Looking at upgrading to 0.92 bars.

Fbo ecu rev limiter HRR688 is described as “algorithm positive rev limiter”. What type is that? I know what a “hard” or “soft” rev limiter is, not sure what positive rev limiter means. Is it similar to a msd soft rev limiter type?

So 9volts coming out of the ignition switch and 9v at the coil + is within normal limits?

Starting at the battery itself I get 10.8v when cranking. I followed this (red wire) all the way to the ignition switch which also reads 10.8v when cranking. Then I went to the brown wire on the ignition switch which read 9v when cranking. Which is the same reading I am getting at the coil +...

I completed the jumper wire from the starter relay stud to the coil+, same result. Tried to fire but won't start. Did some more testing with my volt meter and found that the starter relay stud reads battery voltage/11.9v until I start/crank then it drops to 8.5v. So I thought the starter relay...

So my meter only reads 8v on coil+ when the engine is cranking. So you said that means the brown ballast bypass circuit is not working. So what should be the next test I should do?

71 Duster with 340. Electronic mopar ignition single ballast resistor. Engine tries to start but can't. More like sputters. Only getting 8 volts at + coil terminal when cranking/start. I found that I can get 12 volts to the + coil when I disconnect the wire connected to the negative coil...

Replacing the brake line on my 71 a body 8 3/4 rear end passenger side. Block to wheel cylinder. It broke. The one that came off it looks to be about 42inches. The only pre bent one I can find is about $30 from right stuff or I was just going to bend one my self for $9. I can only find a non...

It worked!! I sprayed the valve spring locks with BP blast and let it soak for 20 minutes then hit the retainers with a socket/hammer method. Just 2 or 3 hits each and they all broke loose. That proform rocker shaft mounted valve spring compressor with the compressed air sure makes it easy...

How long of a rope does it take?

I will be breaking in a new cam (292\ .501) so I am trying to remove the inner valve spring per recommendation. So I bought the air hose that screws into the spark plug hole, and the proform rocker shaft mounted valve spring compressor for small block mopars. My air compressor pumps the cylinder...

Thanks for all the info. After a little more thinking and going over the measurements and math again I am going to go with a custom 4.5 back spacing. That will give me 0 offset on the wheel. I have 5 3/4 to the leaf springs and just a touch over 5 1/2 to the quarter lip. The tire I am getting...

What was the back spacing on what was the back spacing in the new wheels you just got from wheel vintique?

I have 71 Duster with stock A body 8.75 rear end with small bolt pattern and springs in stock location. I am looking at getting 15x8 rallye wheels form wheel vintiques and putting 275/60r15 on them. The wheels only come in 4.625 back spacing though. They do custom back spacing at a price though...

What Backspacing did you get?

Do you mind me asking how much wheel vintiques charged you for the custom back spacing?

I thought I understood the term stall speed, but maybe I don't. my 2,500 stall in my torque converter seems to be good. I have to rev the engine a considerate amount off idle to get the car to move. Summit sells "performance torque converters" with 2,500 stall. My torque converter was built by a...

Anyone running the Comp solid Magnum cam 296 duration .525 lift? Wondering how it does on the street and low end torque feel. I have to replace my cam (long story) I have been running the MP purple Hydraulic cam shaft 292 .508 I have really liked it, good on street, sounds good, have run 12.9 at...

Long story short. Engine has sat for 13 years, and I ran it for a little while with no oil pressure because I was young and stupid and thought the oil gauge was broke. I just found out that I had a broken pushrod and the oil was gushing out at that lifter since nothing was holding it down, so I...

I was going to replace my cam bearings since I will be replacing my cam and the engine is out. summit has "direct replacement" bearings and "high performance" bearings. I am going mostly for street performance with a little strip use once or twice a year. It is a 340, cam 292 .508, 10.7...

I finally found out why there was no oil pressure. It was a broken pushrod. The pressure from the oil was pushing the lifter up and spewing out every where at the lifter, since there was no rod to hold it down.

So I checked all of the oil galley plugs they are all in. I also took the oil filter off and replaced it and while it was off I turned the engine over and oil is gushing out of that hole. The oil pump is new and appears to be working as oil is gushing out of 2 places (the hole to the oil filter...

Yes the plug pictured in post 14 is in. I already had the distributor and the intermediate shaft out. I had to take those out to prime the oil pump with the priming tool and drill. I was thinking about other possible oil galley plugs that might be out. I thought there were two on the very back...

So I checked both of the plugs in front and back of the distributor shaft, both were there. If the plugs were out on the back of the engine would it run down into the bottom front of the transmission bell housing? Nothing leaking there and I looked and felt around inside the bottom of the bell...

I will definitely check that one out. How many oil plugs are they on the 340 engine?

This sounds like what it could be. I will start checking the oil plugs.

No teflon tape was used. I did prime the old pump when we installed it. I will start checking out all of the oil galley plugs.

Thats what I did, there was only small drops coming out of the tubing the goes into the oil gauge, but lots of oil coming form the engine into the oil gauge line. So I thought the oil gauge line was clogged up. So I bought a brand new copper line and the same thing is happening.

I have a 71 Duster I just dropped the 340 LA engine back into. Went to prime the oil pump/engine with the hex head tool and drill. After 4 to 5 minutes of priming the oil gauge only read about 5 -10 psi. I took the oil gauge off and blew compressed air into it and the gauge moved to about 20-25...
