    spary can rebuild ..good paint?

    duplicolor hi temp paint works really good the key i was told was to use hightemp primer also to clean and degrease and then clean and degrease it one more time, because a paint job is only as good as what it covers up

    Engine ????

    this reminds me of the story on how i got my 340, there was a olddodge tow truck for sale outside of town that had "340 engine" written on the winshield. I thought that someone must have been mistaken for a 440 which would of made more sense. I stopped to check it out because my brother needed...

    engine issues

    points and condensor are also cheap and itdoesn't hurt to have a spare, an easy way to set the gap is with a match book or about 3 sheet of paper, also i would check the spark plugs and plug wires,also it wouldn't hurt to double check the ignition timing

    hesitation with my 340

    hesitation with my 340

    you just go opposite the rotaion of the distibuter to advance it,this holds true to any motor. a small block mopar has a clockwise rotation so you go counter clockwise to advance the timing however a big block is just the opposite

    Happster's '72 scamp build!

    Swapping a Bbody 8 3/4 is as easy as cutting the old perches off and moving them in a half inch however the axle an inch wider, which means you loose some tire clearance. but if your looking to run wide tires you might as well consider relocating your springs inboard and a mini tub, since you...

    youd be amazed how little it takes to make these cars fun my 72 dart has a built 340 and its a fun street car but i think a warmed over 318 would have done me just as well but my 340 was date code to my car.
