Thanks for the reply. All 12 are not seating and I am not sure where to dig in next. Really dont want to pull the head again and replace valves and I don't think they are the problem.

replaced the umbrella valve seals when I pulled the head. Was very careful and put them on the correct valve. Fel pro seals. Car is burning oil. Lots of smoke on start up. Only 50k on engine. Pulled valve cover and seals are not sealing. They are sticking on the valve and coming to the...

One of the thing I did and highly recommend, if you have the head off hang it from an engine hoist and install the manifolds off the car. Makes life much easier and you are sure they are torqued correctly. Just lower the whole thing on with the hoist. Remflex gaskets are wonderful

Thought I would post an update Had to take care of a few other issues - new radiator to cure highway over heating and a few other details. I did the fuel line mod. It helped a bit. A new coil helped even more. I thing the HEI mod is in my future. It is running much better. Daily driving...

Thank you for the replies Will do fuel line mod first. I did not rebuild carb - someone did it for me. Float replaced. Level - will deal with if fuel line does not fix it.

74 Dart -225 - single barrel 1945 Holley - fresh rebuild - electric choke kit Cold start - great When it's hot - turn it off - starts when you bump the key Leave it for 5 minutes - have to crank forever with the pedal on the floor Choke not engaged when it does this Thoughts? Where to...

Pishta - that's the one I need - not what I have Dan - I think that is a great idea. Thank you! An electric choke did wonders for my old 350 Chevy - my restoration project is a 70 4x4 Chevy truck - mechanical done, time for body work. I bought the Dart as a daily driver and have enjoyed...

Sorry for the long post - want to be clear and get good info. New exhaust manifold. Replaced head gasket in process - broken bolt in head. Everything together and running well. My one very dumb thing and I know I should have checked it before I assembled the engine. The exhaust manifold and...

Thanks for the replies. It is 5/16 on the small end and 3/8 on the other. I made one from a bolt that I cut the head off of and turned down and put threads on with a die. Works, but there has to be a source for these somewhere

Tapping into the manifold scares me - just found a used one - the old one was cracked Same stud threads on old and new - '74 New one did not have stud and old one snapped off

I'm sorry for not being more clear - I do not need the studs that attach the manifolds to the head (have those - Ace Hardware is great!) I need the stud that attaches the manifolds together. The exhaust manifold has a 5/16" stud that is threaded into it with 1/4" threads on the end that goes...

i need a source for the connecting stud for my manifolds. 5/16 on one end and 1/4 on the other to connect the intake and exhaust manifolds together Thank you for all replies

thank you in advance for responses 74 dart 225 automatic and air Had sat for a while I had to pull my head off, broken manifold stud, so I thought I might as well pull the engine and go through it since it is only a few more bolts. Needs motor mounts too. Got a fel pro engine gasket kit and...

Thank for all of the advice. A little more at home with a 350 chevy, but this little engine is growing on me. I may just go ahead and pull the engine. Need motor mounts and its just a few more bolts and great chance to do away with leaks. I only have two more ?s tonight: can I assemble...

I was thinking a 4 person job - 2 on head, 1 on manifold and one for pushrods - if I can afford the beer to get the help An engine hoist is a great idea that I had not though of - thank you. May have to remove the hood. Need to measure and pick my poison I suppose Read the slant six...

74 Dart - 225 - 50K original miles - sweet find - a few dents - paint/vinyl top and interior perfect!! Blown manifold gasket Broke #1 stud - broke stud off with vice grips - broke easy out off in block - removed head to take to machine shop. Took my time - lots of soaking/heat/freeze out...
