In 1982, a '71 340 Cuda. Hemi orange, orange interior, black convertable top, four speed, shaker hood, hood pins, driving lamps, lugage rack, black billboard stripe, ralley wheels, original tires and paint, car had 23,000 miles and was stored inside. At the time I thought $8,500.00 Canadian...

Do yourself a favour and spend a little more. Remember that a kid in China is making these rockers, and dosen't even know what they are and what they are for.

HR Puffinstuff. The kid's name was Jimmy, he had a British accent and the flute's name was Toot. It was the wicked witch's life long ambition to catch the magic flute for herself. I didn't watch the show, but my kid brother did. I found the show too off the wall. I wasn't into TV that much then...

I have a 73 Scamp with six cylinder torsion bars and Competition Enginering 90/10's in front, with Super Stock springs with 50/50's in the rear. I don't drive the car much but, if you don't do road course type driving it's OK. Since it will handle poorly; only good to go in straight line. I will...

Adjustable screws for Mopar's that I've come accross are 3/8" fine thread which is 24 threads per inch. To figure out what one turn gives you, you divide 1 by 24. This eaquals .041 of an inch. Therefore 3/4 of that is .030.

I ended up buying a pushrod length checking tool, and checking the contact pattern on the lash cap by marking them with magic marker. My correct pushrod length turned out to be 7.450", a full .063" shorter than stock. This is with one thread of the adjuster screw showing out of the bottom. I...

I guess what I hoping to read was that since I don't have extensive machining done to my motor, the most likely length would be ... I am on a very limited time table here, and was hoping to go racing this weekend. I only have two places to try my car at the track each summer and this weekend...

I just bought a Comp Cams roller rocker set 1322-16 from my 1970 "340" with a Mopar Performance "Purple Shaft" cam. I am replacing my old "273" adjustable rocker set up. The old set up used the Crane Cams ball and cup style pushrod. I now need a ball and ball style set up. I have four lengths to...

Why does this happen. Is it because I've blocked oil flow or something? And if so, to where did I block the flow to?

I've read that you should place the notch on the rocker shaft to the rear and down on the right side, (the right side as you are sitting in the car). The driver's side notch should face down and to the front. I am doing some work on my 340 today that has 273 adjustable rocker gear and I've...

After you start the car, the trans pump will fill up the cooler and then your level on the dipstick will drop. After the cooler is filled up, you fill trans up to the proper mark on the stick and you should be fine.

I got 15 correct.

To me the photo looks like the plug is running lean. Do you have an air/fuel ratio monitor? It's a great tool for knowing what's going on inside your engine. I agree with the other forum members who use Autolite plugs. I tried Split Fire and noticed no gain. I'm going back to Autolites.

Buy an American made product when you can. Put it this way the kid in China who is making this product doesn't know what it's for, and even if he did he couldn't afford to buy one much less own a car for it. Big business that moves their manufactoring offshore is in danger of one day having no...

This was the only photo I could find that I have on my computer of the interior. I got the seats out of a 74 Dart Sport. I had to strip the upostery off of the frames and put it onto the Scamp frames for the rear seat. I then dyed the door panels and head liner white. I used the armrests and sun...
