    Driver's side manifold

    Thanks guys. Using the 318 manifolds makes it easy.

    Driver's side manifold

    Wondering about manifolds for my '69 dart 360 magnum. Manual steering, column shift for now but may convert to floor shift. I am wondering whether it will be possible to run a magnum manifold on the driver's side or whether I should track down a 340 manifold. Of course the other option is to...

    Vapor lock- additive?

    Well most of us are running mechanical pumps… And mechanical pumps are usually worse off in this metric since they put way more heat into the fuel than an electric pump. But to be honest I don’t think it’s a big problem either way. If you have an intake with the exhaust crossover blocked and...

    Vapor lock- additive?

    I daily drive my dart in the LA area. I run a carb spacer and drive enough that the stuff in the tank never goes bad (fill up whole tank with 87E10 every 7-10 days). I have not had any problems with vapor lock or percolation with this setup.

    Quiet muffler

    Adding an x pipe significantly cuts down on the rumble at low rpm.

    Solid strut rod bushing on stock strut rods...good idea?

    I think they would not have enough give for up and down movement and get torn up because they are too brittle. The front bushings take a hell of a beating and have to have a little give to work properly.

    1970 Duster Front Brake Conversion Kit for SBP

    Likely, but you should confirm. I believe there was a thread a few months ago where this was discussed.

    1970 Duster Front Brake Conversion Kit for SBP

    You could track down a kelsey hayes small bolt brake setup which will work with your upper control arms, but they can be expensive and hard to get parts for. Another option is to use the dr diff brake kit which converts to an oem style 73-76 brake setup and can be ordered with small bolt...

    Any Pertronix experts here?

    Usually the concern is about using a coil with too low of a primary resistance, which can pull too much current and burn stuff up. My instinct is that you will be fine with the 1.5 but will just get less voltage to the plugs.

    KA-thunk

    Could be a poorly adjusted kickdown that is pushed too far back (towards the firewall) for a given throttle position. Post a pic of the setup?

    Adjustment for positive Camber?

    Looking from the front yes, but from the head of the bolt one is moving cw and the other ccw.

    Adjustment for positive Camber?

    The only answer I can give is yes. Procedure is this: Loosen all four nuts, holding bolts in position. Equally twist the cam bolts to move arm inwards. You will just have to look at the cams relative to the tabs and see which way it goes. Front and back will be opposites, and driver and...

    Front suspension Q’s

    The only adjustment is how you install them. The arrow on the bushing indicates the direction of offset. For most caster, the front is offset out and the back is offset in. After you've installed them it's a done deal and all further adjustments are made by twisting the cam bolt. The alignment...

    273 commando cylinder head bolt torque specs ? same as 340 ?

    The torque spec is a essentially a measure of how much a bolt is being stretched as it is tightened. There is a particular amount which is ideal, and all other amounts which are not. The torque spec for a bolt therefore has nothing to do with what the bolt is holding and everything to do with...

    Front suspension Q’s

    He said KH brakes, so definitely small upper ball joint.

    Front suspension Q’s

    By rebuild the arms, I assume you mean new bushings and ball joints. You can definitely have a local shop do that, or do it yourself if you have the tools (or don't but are down to get creative). You will need small ball joints. You also might consider the moog offset upper control arm bushings...

    Magnum swap plan

    Planning for 97 and up magnum for my daily driver '69 dart 904 trans. Currently has a 318 from which I plan to use the front cover, water pump, alternator, and fuel pump. Here's what I believe I need, anyone see anything I should add/rethink? Part Price Link Gaskets 141...

    Alignment change after changing from drum to disc

    I've noticed this too on my car when I did the swap. Easily solved with a few turns on each sleeve.

    Rear end

    I would look for early dakotas and jeep xjs for gears and or a suregrip. Most have 3.55s, but you can also find 3.07, 3.21, 3.73, and 3.90

    66 Dart/74 la 318 starter issue

    I'm curious to see what you find. I had this exact problem with my car, shorted the terminals on the starter relay to start the car and proceeded with my day, never having the problem again.

    Flex plate for 5.9 and 904

    So is the cutoff 96 and up? If so, problem solved.

    Flex plate for 5.9 and 904

    I believe that is for the LA360 with the bigger imbalance.

    Flex plate for 5.9 and 904

    Researching parts for my 5.9 swap into my dart which has a 904. Looking to keep the stock converter. Since the b&m flex plate is out of production, what are my options? I've heard some of the 5.9 magnum flex plates can be made to work (97 and up??) with a neutral balance 904 converter. Looking...

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    Doin’ it myself at the moment. Likely 3.21s

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    Remember that a 4bbl and intake can be done for 2-3 bucks total, whereas gears and high stall converter is a 1200+ dollar upgrade

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    And actually getting 4 mpg. Joebob from that thread earlier this week would simply melt like the witch in the wizard of Oz.
