dug the hole through to China, but it got so hot in the center of the earth that the tires melted off and the Chinaman did not want to buy the Duster. (ONe guy wanted to turn it into a rickshaw, trade a bowl of fish heads and rice for it,told him it was an original 340 Duster Hemi orange until...

I getting ready to finish-out my 340 Duster and it was painted with Urethane almost a year ago, good paint job but does have a little orage peal. I was told the urethane is a really hard paint to sand if it has cured for a while. I was told to use 2000 grit and rinse the sandin block...

I like everyboy's suggestions to remedy my upside-down crank. I think I'll first flip the car on it's top then the crank will be right side up. However, I have come to the conclusion that then the tires would be up in the air and I wouldn't get much traction, yet we are expecting snow this...

I need the (1) shift rod that goes from the shift lever on the trans to the column shift mechanism (2) the adjuster nut that goes on this rod and (3) the mounting L bracket that mounts on the trans.to support the linkage. I AM DESPARATE SINCE I NEED THIS FOR THIS WEEKENDS SHOW. I am in northwest...

You got it, I always like to do a pre April fools day April Fools day just to keep everyone on there toes. Raely it wasn't the crank I put in upside down, it was the cam I put in sideways

the holes I put the crank in were real real tight and the holes I put the cam in were real real loose (shuved in a bunch of shop towels to take up the slack) but the rods rattle a whole bunch. I like Jim's advice and maybe I should just turn the engine upside down then everything would be right...

I think I put the crankshaft in upside down, does anyone know if J.C. Whitney or others have a kit to remedy this issue while the engine is still in the car?

I have a jam-up and jelly-tight 340 duster that I'm about to unlease on the universe, but first I have this oil pan question, which is this; does this engine have the same oil pan as 318?. It seems as though the sump pickup is about 3/4" deeper than the pan so it won't fit horizontal on the...

someone mentioned that the rocker shaft on my 340 has special bolts for the oil galley that supplies oil to the shaft (second pillar back on the driver side, second pillar forward from the fire wall on the passenger side) that these bolts ( that tie down the oil shaft) are either hollow or are...

Forgot to ask, my milk chocolate oil after cranking a new engine, could the color also be causd by running the oil pump/drill priming tool for an extended time and maybe it aerated the oil?

after cranking the new engine, I thought it would be a good idea to cahnge out the oil. When I drained it , it loookd like milk chocolate ( no I didn't try to drink it, or put milk chocolate it the engine to start) . Could the moly grease I used to build the engine cause it to have this color?

I'm not getting oil up to the topside valve train after priming the pump with the tool/drill thing and turning the engine over at the same tme for about 5 minutes. I'm getting oil into the filter, so it's not the oil pump/pressure relief valve and I have determined all the internal oil galley...

Didn't prime it six months ago long enough to geto the top side. Spun the drill closckwise, same as rotatation as the distribtor when firing.

Where is this #5 plug you're talking about. Do you mean the rear main cap/oil seal area? I assume you need to drop the pan to see it. I have a 72 shop manual but I'll be jiggered if I can find a diagram where all the internal oil galley plugs are. To answer your question an "experienced" machine...

Yes, filter was full, and when we took the adapter off and spun the drill, plenty of oil came gushing out. Makes me think oil is somehow not getting through the adapter or I am not being patient enough to alllow drill time to get to the topside.

I did determine that the plug for the rear lifter oil galley is in can't see the front one without yanking the intake manifold, where is this one located?

O.K. I'm still buffaloed, I tought I had lost oil pump prime since It had been six months since I had built the engine and primed it. So I took the intermediate shaft (oil pump dirve gear) out and put the special tool down to the oil pump and spun the electirc drill at high speed (clockwise...

I have a 72 340 Duster I'm bringing back to life and need a streetable exhaust system with a good exhaust note and flow. The car has headers (3 inch) and will have exhaust tips. Any suggestions? Should I go 3 inch or 2 1/2 inch pipes?

If I can't get oil pressure up after priming the pump, what else could be the cause? The oil pump is new, could it be bad (i.e. pressure relief valve? Could the machinest not have cleaned the oil gallies and they are plugged? Is it possible that the main bearing is installed incorrrectly and the...

I built the 340 for my Duster by the book, got the special tool to prime the oil pump before i installed the engine, rotated it with a drill and got oil out of the sender hole in the block like expected. Six months later I put the engine in, crank over the engine with the starter about a dozen...

I'm installing a new distribuotr, that's wher I'm confused. Wher should the distributor rotor be facing. Wouldn't it be and the reloctor contact?

But where is #1 on the rotor, someone told me that #1 is at 6 o'lock facing the firewall. But that's not possible is the oil drive slot is pointin to the #1 cylinder bole, right?

a couple of folks told me that the #1 cylindar cap tower should be at 6 o'clock looking at the firewall. But to me that is not possible since the oil drive slot is pointing at the 1 cylinder bolt when at TDC. The rotor when at TDC actually is something like at 10 o'clock, and aren't I right that...

How do you install the electronic ig. distributor so it woun't be 180 degress off? Where shoud the rotor be pointing if the engine is at TDC?
