Mopar distributor shafts don't have teeth.

The old plug is posted above, although the image doesn't show the crushed gasket.

One of the plugs I pulled a few months back. It has a crush gasket. I cross-referenced it and found a couple dozen options.

The engine was out of a truck/van.

Hi all, I'm a first-time poster and I have a "Head Scratcher". I'm a relative novice, not a true gearhead. I'm building a 1969 318 to swap into my 1974 Plymouth Valiant slant 6. I ordered spark plugs - RN14YC, but the diameter of the threads (14mm) is too small. The plug falls right into the...

I'm currently building a mild 318 to replace a Slant 6 in my 1974 Plymouth Valiant, 4-door, which I got really cheap. After I picked up the 318, a friend mentioned the 360 as a better alternative, dollar VS output. As I have a 7 1/4 rear end, I don't want to blow up the rearend. BUT, the costs...

I recently acquired a 74 Plymouth Valiant with a slant 6, 3 speed on the floor and would like to upgrade to a 360. I have no clue as to what is required to swap these 2. Bell housings, clutches engine mounts and K-members, etc.
