I'm looking for a recommendation for restoring the trunk finish panel on my 68 Dart GTS. I don't believe there is a reproduction for this part. I know there are some shops that specialize in this type of work and restoration of the panel can be a bit pricey. If any of you have used one of these...

If so I have a valve timing question. When adjusting the valves (first time fire up) and I'm at TDC the #2 intake is not on the bottom of the lobe. Either is the #8 exhaust. They both are close but not quite there. I don't know if the Lunati grind is a bit different. The Lunati literature calls...

Well I'm getting close to firing up the new 340 for break in and I am in need of a belt to drive the water pump only. I will not have any accessories on the motor and I will be performing the break in on a test stand. The crank and pump are stock pulleys. I was thinking there may be a "stretch...

I see that the clear valve covers are available for the chevy guys. Is there anything out there for us Mopar guys? I was considering just making my own from a set of used aluminum covers. I figure they would work best as the design on them is much straighter. I'm sure that one of us has...

Looking for SB 68-69 timing chain cover with timing marks on passenger side.

Anyone running RPM performer with street avenger carb and stock air cleaner? I've got a 68 gts 340. I'm putting together a 69 340 and it's time to purchase the intake. I have a Holly 670 avenger and I want to use the stock air cleaner. I'm thinking the RPM performer would suit my build best but...

I have 8 340 .30 over piston with rings. The pistons are nearly new and the rings are unused. I wanted to use my X heads and wanted more compression so I'm going with an above deck set of pistons. $150 plus shipping. Pins and clips included.

I picked up a set of factory adjustable rockers but I’m not happy with the shafts. They have to much pitting for my liking. My question is, can I use the shafts from my stamped rockers? It looks like it might work if I drill some holes in the same position as the adjustable rocker shaft oil...

I'm building a new 340 for my 68 GTS. I have a 340 from a 69 gts. Steel crank .030 over with silvolite 4 dimple pistons. I plan on using the .028 head gasket with X heads. Using Lunati 703 cam. I cc one on the head chambers and it came in at 74 cc. After running the calculations I come up with...

I am building a 69 340. I gauged everything before I dissembled it and all was good. I am getting ready reassemble and i need to order up the new replacement bearings. I think that the STD stamped on the bottom of the rod bearings means that they are standard size. I am correct in thinking this...

Hi All, Looking to see if anyone has a procedure for checking valve guide clearance by measuring the end play at the top of the valve. I have a set of X heads that are on the bench. The valves hold a good vacuum and i will be disassembling them for a clean up, some new springs and seals. Just...

I'm looking to see if there is a trick for removing the vinyl roof emblem on my 68 dart. I am prepping for a new roof and I would rather not have to get into taking down the headliner to get to the back of the emblem. I might just cut around it and leave it to the upholstery guy who is going to...

I am in need of some help on this one. I am replacing my vinyl top and I have the front and rear glass trim figured out but the trim on the rear deck filler has me a bit confused. I removed the screw on the end of the trim on the driver side and the trim just came off easy. However there are...

I'm looking for a temperature control cable for my 68 dart w AC. The cable from the dash unit to the blending door. Any Ideas? I have looked around all the usual spots but I have not seen anything.

I'm looking to overdrive my alternator slightly. My current pulley is aprox 2.7" outer. I'm looking for something around 2.3" in a single v belt (press on older style .67" ish shaft) for a 75 amp. Any ideas? I have done a bit of looking around and have found nothing. When I'm idling around 800...

Looking for a clean way to add a water temp sensor to my stock 69 340. I feel the need to add something more accurate. I have seen the aluminum inline sensor well that you add in the hose but really don't like the look. Any Ideas????

Anyone have a heater valve actuator of 68 dart??

I am upgrading my open rear to sure grip. I have a 741 pig with an Auburn unit. I want to check and make sure that the unit is OK before I go through with new bearings and gears. However I can not find any information on how to evaluate the condition of an Auburn unit. Any ideas would be great!

First of all I would like to say hello as a new member. I look forward to sharing with others who share my passion for the classic A-Body. My question is what is the best (proper) way to replace the sway bar bushings (frame) on my 68 Dart? I have new poly bushings on the way but I am...
