Just moved into Mount Airy in October from Hawaii....thought I would say hello!

My son expressed an interest in getting an older car - we let him drive our newer cars whenever he has to. So he decided on a Duster - found a project car and after awhile realized that we were way over our heads. So we salvaged what could (had a parts car as well) and we found a slant six 73...

Aloha, We are in the process of freshing up a 360 for my son's Dart and ran into a weird problem - it appears that we have a small water leak from the passenger (side in the vicinity of the where the Alternator bolts in. It is not the bolts - tripled checked and used thread sealer on them. Is...

We have a 360 in a 68 Dart that was originally a slant 6 car. We used a 71 Dart swinger K frame and some engine mounts we bought from O'Reillys but had to use some washers to get them to work. Engine also seems to sit low and centerlink clearance is marginal. My question is this - is there a...

Yes, I'm working with a LA 360ci SB. Thanks for the input by the way. And yes I oiled the seal

with the oil filter....how can i tell what the problem is? I just popped it off and the filter gasket stuck to that back plate instead of the filter, though i believe this to be unusual many may not.

Just a drip and a drop but not as bad as some of the bolts i tried. I was wondering if there is a way to get the little bit of thread out w/o ripping into the timing cover, thats all and maybe how else i can subside the dripping and dropping a little better. Thanks.

I didn't know you can do that...I always thought that the gaskets were attached more permanen than that....If so then definitely young gun mistake Thanks -SCRAG

Thanks everyone for the similar yet different ideas, i will definitely try them out....hopefully the first one will work haha.

What has everyone had luck with while sealing their water pump? just gasket and torque? or do you use rtv? Thanks - SCRAG

I snapped a rusted bolt in the engine block....I snapped only a few threads I believe off of one of the two long bolts that crank down the water pump. How long are these bolts usually? Is there anyway I can bypass taking it out since I am trying to avoid having to take off the timing chain...

My engine hesitates when I accelerate too fast such as the pedal to the floor practically. It just putters like its kinda getting too much or too little amount of gas, a buddy of mine said that he thinks I'm runnin' a little rich. I'm a young gun and havn't grasped the mehod of tuning my carb...

I wanted to repaint my 68' Dart 270 grill because the black is fading, and wanted to know if there was a specific black that was used. Due to the fading the black looks like it was a flat black, Thanks for the input ALOHA, SCRAG

My column shift is very loose and can slip into gears or out of gears. Is there any way i can tighten it up or access it. I've removed the steering wheel and removed mostly everything. Thanks.
