Thanks! Remover filter, then it should come off! I just changed the oil and I think I must have dislodged it and the gasket wont reseal between the adapter and the block. I got the new gaskets so this will be tomorrow's evening project! Thanks oldkimmer and rod440!

To replace the 90* Oil Filter Adapter Gasket, does the motor mount need to be unbolted and the engine jacked up to get the adapter bolt out? How much oil will be lost, just the quart in the filter? Thanks. I just don't want to get caught in the middle unaware.

The D4B is for the 1964/5 only (different bolt angle on the heads) and was supposed to be a good upgrade. I had one that I never used and sold after it sat around a while. The edelbrock 600 CFM performer is very close to performance as the original formula S Carter AFB 3853/4 S. This should be a...

Sweet!

:oops:You're right. I have thrown that answer out so many times, it slipped my mind. They had them last time I ordered in 2009, it just slipped my feeble mind.

Try kanter.com or PAW

Don't overlook the obvious,it could be blinker fluid leaking down onto the flux capacitor thus rendering the knuter switch inoperable.

Someone on here has one. It had headers,a special cam (racer brown?) and a holley carb. It was (under)rated at 275 HP for the d class.

Commando Cam: Lift Intake Exhaust 0.425" 0.425" Duration Intake Exhaust 248° 248° I have read the torque on the rocker arms to be 25 ft/lbs and 10 ft/lbs and 17 ft/lbs in several sources. I will look in the blue manual again when I get a...

You said "nipple"

Alabama is just to far even though it is FREE ,wait I paid $500 for one and drove to Indiannapolis to get it. I am DUMB. Well it was a low mile commando.

He is new to ebay, has 5/6 positives, one guy unhappy about price, so he posted a negative.

they have them in other sizes it says.

Here are the egge 10.5 to 1 .040 over pistons: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-67-Dodge-Chrysler-Plymouth-273-V8-Pistons-NEW-4-Barrel-235HP-Engines-/280810076584?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item416195b9a8 David

If it had a 4 bbl, was it a commando motor?

I had Leanna do mine (cudachick1968) and they are spot on perfect!

Just avoid Shaw City in Fresno at all costs! I got ripped off for $2000.

toolmanmike knows this stuff. I will be there (don't know spot yet) and I will be selling 273 commando decals that are made on correct gauge aircraft aluminum and looks very nice. The only discrepancy is the color has sort of a translucent look, not opaque, when in direct sunlight. Give 'em a...

That's not what you said to me... :(

The plymouth service manual for the 64-65 273 intake manifold with 5/16 bolts calls for 270 inch pounds which is 22.5 foot pounds. (If you want to check this out, you can use the calcualtor at this link: http://www.unitconversion.org/unit_converter/torque.html ) Start in the middle, gently...

I am jealous! I haven't started my 273 yet. Still trying to finish up the brakes ("if you can't stop it, don't start it") is my philosophy. Hoping for a noonday start tomorrow! Way to go Toolman!

When the distributer gear is dropped in, it goes past the gear on the cam which rotates the distributer gear about two gear teeth's worth. If you lined it up when you dropped it in, then it is off. Either re-align the distributer gear by removing it and putting it in properly, or, and I am not...

Mike, look in the funny stuff section about the latest on my 273 build. I am hopefully going to fire it up tomorrow, but I have said that before. Yours is looking good!

If it is running, it is not 180 out. Each piston has two upstrokes, one for compression, and one for exhausting. You want the one for compression when the exhaust valve is closed (both are closed, actually). To be sure, pull the number one plug, or if no plugs, leave it out. Stick your finger or...

If it's on a stand, money is no issue, get a new pan. I have made all kind of fixes when in a pinch; JB Weld, coat hangers, vice grips (drove a VW for 2 years with two small off brand vice grips holding spindly wires to the battery terminals, LOL) duct tape, zip ties, you name it. But if...

My 273 is in! I was surprised when I got home from taking my kids to school that my buddy, Keith, had used the engine hoist to raise the body, roll the motor/tranny combo under there, and i arrived home in time to put a jack on the tranny to push it up an inch or so. Took 20 minutes to install...

Attached are two more pix. one is the engine and trans, on the k-member, floating on a dolly. The other is the home made (thanks, Keith) brackets to lift the car. We have pulled the entire front end out, will raise the car, and roll this entire unit under the front end, and lower it down and...

Not a good picture, but I have my k-member attached to my engine. I will be lifting the car tomorrow, dropping the old K-member, and lowering the car onto this one! Days away from firing it up! WooHoo!:cheers:

So if I come up with a double crank pulley, then I can use it? I think I have one of them on the way!

Here is the pump with the bracket. Is this some kind of bracket for an A/C car? If so, what brakets do I need if not going A/C right now?
