dug the hole through to China, but it got so hot in the center of the earth that the tires melted off and the Chinaman did not want to buy the Duster. (ONe guy wanted to turn it into a rickshaw, trade a bowl of fish heads and rice for it,told him it was an original 340 Duster Hemi orange until...

I getting ready to finish-out my 340 Duster and it was painted with Urethane almost a year ago, good paint job but does have a little orage peal. I was told the urethane is a really hard paint to sand if it has cured for a while. I was told to use 2000 grit and rinse the sandin block...

I like everyboy's suggestions to remedy my upside-down crank. I think I'll first flip the car on it's top then the crank will be right side up. However, I have come to the conclusion that then the tires would be up in the air and I wouldn't get much traction, yet we are expecting snow this...

I need the (1) shift rod that goes from the shift lever on the trans to the column shift mechanism (2) the adjuster nut that goes on this rod and (3) the mounting L bracket that mounts on the trans.to support the linkage. I AM DESPARATE SINCE I NEED THIS FOR THIS WEEKENDS SHOW. I am in northwest...

You got it, I always like to do a pre April fools day April Fools day just to keep everyone on there toes. Raely it wasn't the crank I put in upside down, it was the cam I put in sideways

the holes I put the crank in were real real tight and the holes I put the cam in were real real loose (shuved in a bunch of shop towels to take up the slack) but the rods rattle a whole bunch. I like Jim's advice and maybe I should just turn the engine upside down then everything would be right...

I think I put the crankshaft in upside down, does anyone know if J.C. Whitney or others have a kit to remedy this issue while the engine is still in the car?

I have a jam-up and jelly-tight 340 duster that I'm about to unlease on the universe, but first I have this oil pan question, which is this; does this engine have the same oil pan as 318?. It seems as though the sump pickup is about 3/4" deeper than the pan so it won't fit horizontal on the...

someone mentioned that the rocker shaft on my 340 has special bolts for the oil galley that supplies oil to the shaft (second pillar back on the driver side, second pillar forward from the fire wall on the passenger side) that these bolts ( that tie down the oil shaft) are either hollow or are...

Forgot to ask, my milk chocolate oil after cranking a new engine, could the color also be causd by running the oil pump/drill priming tool for an extended time and maybe it aerated the oil?

after cranking the new engine, I thought it would be a good idea to cahnge out the oil. When I drained it , it loookd like milk chocolate ( no I didn't try to drink it, or put milk chocolate it the engine to start) . Could the moly grease I used to build the engine cause it to have this color?

I'm not getting oil up to the topside valve train after priming the pump with the tool/drill thing and turning the engine over at the same tme for about 5 minutes. I'm getting oil into the filter, so it's not the oil pump/pressure relief valve and I have determined all the internal oil galley...

Didn't prime it six months ago long enough to geto the top side. Spun the drill closckwise, same as rotatation as the distribtor when firing.

Where is this #5 plug you're talking about. Do you mean the rear main cap/oil seal area? I assume you need to drop the pan to see it. I have a 72 shop manual but I'll be jiggered if I can find a diagram where all the internal oil galley plugs are. To answer your question an "experienced" machine...

Yes, filter was full, and when we took the adapter off and spun the drill, plenty of oil came gushing out. Makes me think oil is somehow not getting through the adapter or I am not being patient enough to alllow drill time to get to the topside.
