You may be a tooth off on the gear or check closely to see if the nylon gear (at the end of the shaft) has the cross pin in the same location in both distributors.

Or you could locate a good machine shop near you that can bush the throttle shaft tight again.

I have to ask -what is "a rod keeps slipping" mean? Rods do not slip-they are attached to the crank shaft at one end and the piston at the other. If you have only a sticking valve I would fist do a very though tune-up starting with a good valve adjustment. What all has been done to the engine...

News flash-the 426 hemi is not a true hemi its self. Only the 50's 331/354/392 are.

Check idle speed and adjust for the high end of the range.

Has anyone checked the fuel filter?

Start with the choke. Does it close but not to tight? Does the choke pull off work? Start were ever you want-it all works together. Did it have this problem before the new carb?

How is your heat riser valve in the exhaust manifold?

Lose as much weight as you can (Car not you:) ) and-aerodynamics. Front air dam and side dams will help. And a flat pan for the under carriage. spoiler in back will not help. Make sure you use a soft air dam to stop it from breaking on curb stops/parking. Get it as close to the ground as you...

If you are old enough to remember the 50's/60's Japan made nothing but crap. Cheap toys etc. (they always made a good sewing machine-a copy of the Singer 15) They learned to make it better and better and now the GOOD stuff comes from Japan. In the 70's Taiwan made the cheap crap. Now they have...

Best bang for the buck is a windage tray

Could also be just a bad ballast resistor-can only test by replacing it. And yes a high end dedicated ohm meter can find low ohm problems (I use a Vacuum tube HP with the four wire system) but is not worth most peoples money for some thing you would us once in a life time. But If you have a...

Have you tried using gas dry? You may have some water in the tank. The reading you get are about right for the coil but are these reading when the coil is cold or hot/failing?

Same people that could not find a rebuild carb kit in their books. Tried to tell me that my sixpack set up must be after market. Chrysler never offered it factory. And look at you funny when you ask if they have a group 2 or 27 battery. Then they ask "What vehicle does it fit" What does it...

You could pressure test the cooling system-that would tell you if you still have a leak.

I think it was a push button on the back side of the speedometer. Very much like a trip odometer reset.

I think that this car is of the era were they had a switch that counted the miles and turn on the EGR light as a service reminder. The mechanic was to reset the switch at time of service. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Check you connections around the stater relay and is it a automatic? Try starting in neutral and wiggle the shift leaver back and forth while trying to start. If it starts after the wiggle it may be the neutral safety switch is out of adjustment. As far as the shut down while driving it may be...

You could go to a plumber. They now have a small video camera that they use on pipes to look inside. Should work on a intake. Most small items will blow through when the engine runs BUT Larger item may not and when they burn up inside they change to carbon and that will cause heavy wear.

Squirt some thin penetrating oil in to each cylinder, wait a day or two and then hit it with the stater. Sticktion is a terrible thing.

Isn't red the correct/original color? I know it is for my 64 Valiant conv, I had a bit of a fight with my re-builder to paint it red and not blue.

I want the engine and the intake/exhaust. I had a aluminum slant six set aside that my sister in-law took and sold for scrap!

It is a very old hot rod trick. Pistons are not 100% round (at least in the skirt area) and the wrist pin is not dead center. Has to do with keeping the engine quiet when cold. Down side is a little faster wear and some more noise but it does reduce engine friction and makes more HP.

Well #6 looks like a problem-I had about the same problem on a old VW dune buggy were one of the pistons melted down one side 'cause the rings end gap lined up (or I screwed up) and the hot exhaust gases eroded the piston away. What you need to do now is find out if it is valves or the...

Also the heat riser valve is in the mix as well as the unloader-If the choke unloader is to fast (opens to soon or to much) it will cause drivability problems.

Same here. At 9:30 its still down-could it be that its domain name was not renewed? I hope that Slant six is just having server problems. But then I would expect to get some sort of error message.

How long on the highway? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Does the choke open up? Does the choke pull of work OK? Did you check the piont by dwell or gap? Lynn

I plan on changing my 64 4speed/6 over to the 4speed overdrive from a later 6. I even had the aluminum slant 6 to go with it but some one stole it for the scrap value. Lynn
