I'm rebuilding my 225 and when I pulled the timing chain cover I noticed just over a half inch of play in the chain (slop). Is that acceptable? Thanks

In my '63 Dart, I have installed a very tired original 170 with more than 150k. I also have a rebuilt 225 with about 2k on it that came out of a wrecked '71 Valiant. What are the chances the '71 225 is a direct swap for the '61 170 (bolt directly to the '63 transmission and torque converter)...

On my '63 Dart with manual drum brakes, what's the cap for on the rear distribution block? My front doesn't have it. I had to put a little heat on the block to get the rear lines off and I want to make sure I didn't ruin anything.

So the guy has a dilemma: I remember 39 years-ago when I last drove this car that the original 170 was pretty sluggish (around 100 hp?). I would like just a little more pep. (I'm not trying to turn it into a muscle car). Does anyone know how much HP is created with the two barrel carb with the...

'63 Dart with four manual drum brakes. I converted my single MC to a dual MC and I'm using the original push rod. How do I know the original push rod is the correct length? I installed everything and there appears to be too much "slop" in the pedal. The pedal does not push tight against the...

If I'm using all manual drum brakes, I think I should be able to run one line from the master cylinder direct to the rear brakes (which is then split to each wheel at the rear distribution block). For the front brakes, I think I can run one line from the MC to a front distribution block which...

Thanks for the inspiration!!
