this should probably be in 'for sale' but here it is. saw this on cl today, two /6s for sale. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/2136821277.html i don't know who this is or talked to him, but somebody might want to jump on this. i would, but no workspace right now. :(

this is what you shouldn't do with your classic mopar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn-nGl5u7ZY

not sure if this is the right forum, but... my speedo recently started doing this crazy bouncing back and forth and making a buzzing/grinding/whirring noise. it's intermittent. it usually starts if i go over a harsh bump at freeway speeds, and stops if i pull to a stop or just beat on the...

slant had been running poorly, really loud ticking, loss of power, rough idle, etc... monday i opened the valve cover to see what was up, and rod for intake #5 was bent pretty bad. i couldn't think what caused this, i haven't revved the motor past 3500 rpm, haven't had any backfires since...

lots of overheating issues/questions these days, so heres one more. hottest day of the year yesterday, 101f, cruising at noon down the freeway, engine running around 210-220 (2/3 to H on gage)for 15 minutes or so. later, when the outside temps went down, the car ran perfectly cool. this is a...

so i have a mopar performance cam in my slant. included with the cam were several pages of install instructions/lit etc. the cam is mp 268-108. 268* duration 52* overlap .460" lift. heres my problem. they included two valve lash specs. one says .028 intake, .032 exhaust. another one...

i've been really thinking lately about changing jobs. (careers?) i've been working in a grocery store for more than 11 years, and don't get me wrong, it pays the bills, i get health insurance, retirement funds, etc. however this job is just mind numbingly boring. since i'm a gearhead i...

yeeeeee-haaaaaaaw!! finally got off of my a$$ and got my motor together. this friggin thing fought us tooth and nail, but we ended up on top! :-D it had started dieseling, running rough, poor mileage, etc, so it was time to go. here's some pics showing before and after. maybe some 'during'...

i've got a holley 390cfm with elec. choke that i got used and rebuilt. i'm using it on my slant six that has just had a newly rebuilt top end (head, cam, intake, exhaust) bolted up. the issue that i have is that to break in the cam properly the engine has to run nonstop for 30 plus minutes...

pulled the slant a couple of days ago, and started disassembling. noticed that the crank snout has threads in it, but no bolt. is this only for placing a bolt to press on the damper? should there be a bolt/washer combo to hold the damper on? i've had the car for several years now, and as far...

ok, the slant has been running a little rough, so i decided to check the timing. the underhood info says that it should be at 0*, which i think is odd, but whatever. when i checked, the mark on the damper was to the RIGHT of the mark on the block. when i loosened the hold-down bolt, i found...

so i've finally got garage time lined up at my buddies to do the top end on my duster. offy intake, 390 holley, headers, high compression head, mopar performance cam. just a couple questions before its go time. first, can i reuse my old cylinder head bolts? next, when installing the new...

was just checking out craigslist today and saw this: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/pts/1692954669.html sounds like it would be a nice addition to my duster, giving it the cool 'raked' look. also, very period correct. anybody know if there would be fitment issues, such as having to trim...

i see plenty of nice old mopars cruising around town, but have yet to meet many of you. who drives the yellow, drop-top barracuda around capitola and parks by seabright brewery? i see that car driving everywhere! also, seen a couple nice valiants around. i know you're out there... lurking...

i have been riding my bike alot lately, and letting the duster sit. problem is, after a few days off, it runs awful for the first few minutes. sounds like it's missing cylinders and runs super choppy, coughing and jumping, etc... bogs down and tries to stall if i floor the gas. after about...

i know this is a silly question, but there are no marks inside or outside of the master cylinder showing max fill level. both reservoirs are almost empty! i feel like most other cars i've owned wanted it to about 1/2" from the top. is that about right? 73 duster, manual brakes, disc front...

it looks like the intake/exhaust studs go into coolant passages. do i need to put any kind of sealant on the threads to keep them from leaking? thanks!

is it the bigger (taller shroud) ones, or smaller? if i remember right, it's the bigger ones. thanks for the help! i got both in my fel-pro gasket kit, and they are unlabeled.

i need to know how much to mill from my cylinder head to get a 9.25-9.5:1 compression ratio. the head was pulled from a junked car and my machine shop says that it has been surfaced, but we cant tell if it's been milled. i cc'ed the chambers and the are 58cc each. i know that 0.1" can be...

i asked on slantsix.org, but i'll check here too, does anybody know where to get a windage tray and/or crankscrapers for /6?

looking in the pick & pull for 340 springs and valves the other day for a super six i'm putting together, and i realized i dont know how to id 340s. lots of older trucks and vans with v8s. one, two, and four barrel carbs (intakes anyway, carbs long gone). figure the one and twos are 318s. are...

just got the cam i'm going to be running on my 4 barrel build. the recommended mopar springs arent listed in the catalog anymore. (p4120249) does anybody know a good spring to use? i think i heard that springs from a 340 will work? anyone know part #s? duration: 268 lift: 460 solid...

looking to get a front sway bar for my 73 duster. i'm looking on the ebay for used (cheaper) units. do older bars fit in? the addco site shows the same part number for virtually all mopars. just different end links. http://02bbfb5.netsolhost.com/Plymouth-Susuki_AntiSwaybars.htm#Plymouth...

i've finally got some cash together to start building a super six. i'm thinking just a 2bbl, headers, and maybe some head work (gasket matching, milling). i've got a 225 in the duster now, and i found a motor on ebay pretty cheap. it's a 170 from a 67 dart gt. comes with 904 trans. he...

hi all, the fuel bowl is leaking a little onto the intake. recently rebuilt the carb and it runs well, except for the leak. didnt use sealant on it, probably should have. i got some permatex 2b cause its the only one at the store that says its fuel safe. going to open up the fuel bowl...

does anybody know where i can get a good set of the rubber inserts for a 73 duster? the ones in my car are so shot, its not even funny. i've looked around a bit, but cant find anyone who has them. thanks for any help you guys can give!

i have a question for you guys about this wierd gurgling sound coming from my gas tank lately. it sounds like when you turn a bottle of water upside down and air tries to push in, chugging or gurgling sounds. this car is a bone stock slant 6 with the 1 barrel carb. i really dont know very...

hello everyone, i know this is probably a silly question, but the outside mirror on my 73 duster has gotten really loose. not the mount, but the mirror itself. i adjust it, and 30 seconds later im looking at the side of my door in it. is there a way to fix this without buying a new mirror...

i know that these cars are made for muscle, but the only sanctioned racing around my area is autocross, and i want to setup a fun car. i just bought a bone stock 73 gold duster and am ready to throw some cash at it. can anyone recomend what i should really focus on? i'm ready to do all new...
