I am wondering what people are using for exhaust tips when running a Pypes exhaust system. I am not sure what I want to do so I left the tail pipes as they came from Pypes. My 71 340 Demon now has Dougs headers and a complete 2.5" Pypes exhaust. Anyone that is running this system that can post a...

Shop I worked at in the mid to late 80's got some of Fram transmission kits from time to time. They worked with no problems back then. For the price listed on eBay I would say go for it.

I am posting this for a friend of mine. The motor and transmission case are the same numbers. The motor and transmission came out of 65 Sport Fury. New owner ran the numbers and said his research led him to a 69 Dart GTS. If anyone is looking for this motor and transmission, please contact me...

I used a gasket instead of the Oring. I probably could have used the Oring but I have had gaskets in stock, so I used them.

Just for everyone's benefit. AR Engineering AR438 is a good fix for this problem. It is a little bit pricey but bang for your buck it works great. Mancini had it in stock now I can take back the other one to Summit on my next trip there for a refund.

I would test fit intake without the cork end rail gaskets I think you will see a big difference. We toss the cork end rail gaskets and just use silicone make sure if you have pins on the end rail, they are removed also they can hold the intake manifold from sitting down also. Here is a picture...

My mechanical sending unit hits the thermostat if I put the thermostat on top. I even tried the smaller stat on bottom falls through hole. Large thermostat on bottom the housing leaks (I used a gasket top and bottom). May try to trim large thermostat to fit inside Oring thermostat on bottom (use...

I may just hook up the temperature electrical gauge on my cluster. My cluster does not have an oil pressure gauge it has a light only so I installed mechanical oil and water temp gauges when the car had a 318 engine in it.

Dear rumblefish360 I looked on Summit site and did not see the one from your picture, did the one from Joes fit over the original thermostat or did the thermostat go on top of the spacer? Here are pictures of the one I did purchase from Summit today.

The 340 is basic X heads mildy ported, Ld4b has been port matched, Mopar 484 cam, Doug's headers, and 2.5" Pypes exhaust system. I bought a thermostat spacer from Summit Racing, but the mechanical sending unit hits the thermostat. Figured somebody has run into this before and came up with a fix...

Just finished installing a complete 340 in my Demon took a 318 out of the car. I have an LD4B intake on the 340. There is not a port for a mechanical water temperature sending unit. My question what is everyone doing to run a mechanical water temperature gauge on this intake? I cannot be the...

Oldmanmopar I would prefer a cast Iron unit. I am hoping to find something closer if possible. I will keep what you have in mind. Thanks for responding and letting me know what you have. Steve

Looking for something reasonably close will travel up to 250 miles. 4 Speed manual overdrive transmission for A body. Streetsboro Ohio 44241. Please send me a private message if you have one. Thanks Steve

Had a jeep brake job today. Only thing I got done one the motor today was to clearance the valve cover for distributor and to test fit aluminum water pump housing look like I may run in trouble trying to use my front oil pickup port on my block. That problem is for another day after the oiling...

I am going to use Permatex Ultra Gray.
