Does anyone have measurements to locate fratzog on sail panel for 69 Dart. Thanks

My 69 Dart Swinger 340 4 speed.

To remove do you just pop it out with a screwdriver or it there something special. Don't want to scar up the shoulder. Thanks

I took my .011 feeler gage and clamped vise grips to the end and was able to wiggle and tap it in. Used a lot of wd40 also. It wasn't easy. Good luck.

I put the AVS2 650 on my 340 and it ran good but thought it could run better. I went ahead and bought the #1948 tune kit, changed the jets, rods, and step up springs and wow! did that wake it up.

Add valve seals to the list or you'll have a sump filter full of plastic.

Just did my 69 Dart last week. Bought a press from Harbor freight for $100 and a 1 3/8" tap off Ebay for $12.99. Was a piece of cake.

Checked the description on Rock Auto for this Moog bushing. It says the ID is .810 but apparently that's wrong. It's .813 on the ones I got. I think Moog probably isn't what it used to be.

Think I'll return them and get something different. My pins are in perfect shape and measure .810 which is what they should measure. The bushings are probably just oversize a little. Probably should be around .807-.808 guessing. Thanks guys.

Went to press pivot pin in lca bushing Moog (K791) from Rock Auto but the pin just slides in. Measured both, the pin measures .810 but the bushing ID measures .813. My question is, should they always press in. Do I have bad Moog bushings, they are brand new. Thanks

Started front end rebuild on the 69 Dart. Got a 12 ton press from Harbor Freight for $103.00 I'm using for the bushings. Going to do my 66 Coronet next. Not as bad as I thought thanks to this forum.

If you use air to hold valves up make sure to secure crank from turning. I used a breaker bar and socket on my harmonic balancer bolt clamped to k frame. The engine will turn when you apply air. Don't want those valves falling into cylinder. Works great for me.

I bought a 3oz can of the new F8 from the dealer to touch up a spot in my engine compartment, It's much lighter than the original F8. Would not use it on the outside for older F8 paint if you need a good match.
