AJ, I stumbled on your article #18 , Dec 29 news letter on bigblock a body tech which finally describes in words what I am trying to correct in my 408 . I run a 6 pack with big valve factory iron heads, MP 509/ 292 flat tappet, tti step headers , electronic MP ignition. would like to discuss...

Very Helpful! When are you doing Part 2? Glass installation and adjustments? Can't keep the lower guide roller in the lower track either?

Thx for the comments, this is not my first rodeo so I understand the differences between OE and aftermarket bushings , how they work, how to install and maintain them , I have been turning wrenches for more than half a century. When I was reinstalling the rebuild suspension I noticed the...

Great info, Thx TMMike, learned a new trick today at my age , that's good !!!

So I scanned this topic and although I might of missed it I did not see anything in FABO that addresses my question. Recently I was rebuilding my entire front suspension, in the process I was doing the upper CA bushings , replaced them with Energy Suspension urethane pieces. I had looked at the...

I agree with some of the other guy's here, check the header bolts. Especially the outboard end holes. The factory used studs in both ends for 2 reasons, 1 they go into the water jackets, 2 they hung the gaskets on them which makes an eazy job of installing the manifold/ header. Last fall I fired...

I agree with some of the guys comments, in todays world that is a fixable car although it's hard to tell from one pic. Make your Ins Co fix the car , find a replacement or pay up! Good luck!

HI JIM , Can you clarify, you rebuilt your OE MC which was 15/16" bore with Raybestos Kit MK697? The reason I ask is because I have 2 Bendix 1" Bore MC's that I have been trying to find the right rebuild kits for , with no success. The difference between mine and yours is bore size and the...

So some interesting observations here. I note that we 3 have the country covered coast to coast! AA I assume stock with woodgrain insert? I also see that at 1200 rpm you have zero oil P, is this a case of bad IPVR, if so I have the fix. Also I see on the '68 dash the 5 oclock position of the...

What is the factory tach "zero" position for 1970 Rally dash...... 5 oclock or 8 oclock

Just got my new 408 stroker assembled and I am going to run the LA six pack set up so was wondering if anyone out there has a carb tune for this setup? Specifically,What jet size for ctre carb and what vacuum spring color for the out boards? The stroker has MP flat tappet 508 lift cam, about...

Thx all 3 of you, I will be looking now to try and get a better price for a 38 tooth gear than from Classic !!!!

I am running 255 x 60-15" BFG's on rear with 391 SG gears with A 833 4 speed. My FSM chart does not list P- metric sizing because it is for 1971 cars. There is not enough reliable info on the internet to convert the tire size. It looks like a 39 tooth gear should be close to correct my...

I would agree with Daves69, which I also confirmed with the DC boys that the key seems to be to match the coil and ballast resistor ie 1 1.5kohm coil should have a coresponding 1.5 kohm resistor. If you look at the wiring diagram the D69 provided it is the same for both boxes, 12 v in start and...

Thx , I should have looked to see if there was a pin in that location in the box under the plug, my stupid! I checked my "Chrome Box" which I bought around 1990 and I have never used , 4 pins as well. Can I ask why chrome box is drag race only?

On my wiring instruction sheet for an Orange Box install the green wire (with red tracer) says "not used" . Does anyone know what it is for or even why it is there? Perchance tach drive???

Yes I would like to do that if it happens weather or not my car is done by then. I have attended MM here regularly since forever and know lots of Mopar guys but have never taken a car so hope to do that someday (soon) !

Hi thx for the welcomes, does not look good for any car shows here this season although I notice Mopar maddness 2020 has not been officially cancelled . The boarder also does not look like it will open anytime soon either. So I guess it's stay at home and work on the DDart, hope to finish it...

That doesn't surprise me much. Back in the day 4 filter #'S covered 99% of all of the big three. Long and short GM and long and short for both Ford and Chrysler. Life was simple!

My new engine build should produce around 400 HP (fly wheel) so I thought I should go up to the next clutch series otherwise I would have used a slightly lighter one. Also my local auto parts store had a hot deal on the DF series . I wonder , Sireland do you try adjusting the clutch and what...

Thx for the comment on pedal feel, did you use the regular or duel friction Centerforce II #DF269739 and did you remove your stock over center return spring on the pedal ??? I want to replace my leg breaker B &B clutch for something more user friendly !!! 70DDDart

Yep Fram 3614 works fine , physically the same size as a LS oil filter but with the 3/4 x 16 thread. I also found the "long version " PH 2870A (5" long) which works and provides a bit more surface area. Napa had cross reference #'s for both and their filters are made by WIX which I will check...

Thx for the replys, off on a shopping spree this am, will post what works later!

Not sure if this is the right catagory for this new member and have never done anything like this before. Anyway my problem is that I cannot remove or replace my PH 43 oil filter! The problem is there is not enough room between the header (TTI Step) and my Lakewood bell housing because of the...

Hi been visiting the site for some time now and finally decided to join. Never hurts to have many heads working on a problem. I have a 70 S that I have '70 Swinger that I have owned for more than 40 years and has been a project that I finally decided to finish a couple of years ago. It has a...
