    Found the source of my coolant drip. Doh. Didn’t clamp the heater core caps. Installed the new Mopar performance valve cover gaskets. Hope they are worth it $$$. Found out that my oil breather cap is downright disgusting. Even after soaking and cleaning it out with degreaser. 5o plus...

    Not excited about these two drips. And possibly the 90* filter, which I tighten the piss out of. All bolt washers and gaskets where on correctly btw. I remember using cometic gaskets on my other 340 and that took care of it. Any other suggestions? Sure hoping that snugging the intake manifold...

    First time using Ez-LOKs. Couple things I learned. The thread locker compound is ****. It made it so hard to thread the lok that I stripped the notches. Once I removed it and added fresh red thread locker it went in easy. Flushed it to the head and it barely looks repaired. Now to clean up...

    Cleaning Greasy Old Bolts

    Parts washer with the purple stuff. Then wire wheel. Evaporust bucket for the rusty stuff. Have a left over baby bottle cleaner I fill with vinegar for small rusty stuff. Works great. Works like the crockpot idea.

    Started in on replacing an exhaust stud. Let it drain and vacuumed out as much coolant as possible before I tap for an EZ-LOK.

    I figure 80-90s when I look at OLDER restorations from that time period. Ive used it before and it’s tough to make it look really good. The painless stuff (or similar) looks better imo. More like today’s modern harnesses. It’s an improvement over the 30’s stuff which doesn’t allow as easy access...

    That’s understandable. The engine harness wire wrap stuff from Painless Performance looks nice and would allow access to wires. Looks clean. Little spendy for a complete kit. Thinking of using it when I wire my 68’ swept.

    Nicely done. Any chance the 80s-90s corrugated wire tubing going away? That engine bay is so pretty to have that cheap stuff (imo) on there. Please take No offense. That manifold is tits too.

    Got one hubcap buffed out. 3 more to go. Then I’ll get the redlines done.

    67 Barracuda, worth the asking price of $3800?

    That thing got raped. Many of the one year only parts were pirated. I’d pass personally. $3800 would get you much closer to a running, driving and more complete project. If it’s 100% rust free then I’d offer $1000. Im not sure you can match a 67’ 340 to the car. Correct me somebody if I’m...

    Tamraz has really good deals that pop up. Website is a pain in the ***. They also have stuff listed on eBay. Can use any 63-66 abody tank.

    Went through the exhaust pipes. Found one of the tti hangers was rubbing the muffler and the tranny crossmember was touching as well. Hopefully that squeak goes away. While I was at it I added the new AMD rear bumper. Still need to order the spacers below the tail lamps. Also added some...

    "You Mopar guys" The Mark Worman effect?

    I could do without the belittling condescension. The guys in the shop seem like really good people. I like seeing the work performed. They did a very nice job on the Duster. Maybe they’ll do a 68-69 Dart one day. I’ll tune in more for that. B/E body stuff gets boring after a while.

    Spitballing here. Maybe a thin coating of RPM paste after gently warming up the pickup with a low setting heat gun. I’ve noticed it works great on many parts in my environment near the beach

    Rolled out the Dart under own power today. Started to rain as soon as I rolled out. At least it goes forward and backwards in the driveway for now. Just finished up alignment and lubed the suspension. Will need to track down a noisy exhaust pipe shimmy squeal. That’ll be fun. Rain was good for a...

    Rock Auto....Never Again

    I have had good luck on a few items but as soon as shipping comes from multiple depos I’m out. RockAuto has a great parts search which I use for searching Summit or Amazon. I get a lot of stuff from amazon because the prices are good and usually very easy to return items and free 2day shipping...

    The AVS-2 seems really nice at idle so far. Haven’t gotten the car on the road just yet. Hopefully soon. Just did the brakes and finishing up initial alignment. Still need to R&R rear gear oil and new sure grip additive. What’s in there now is pretty old. I’ll report later on my thoughts. So far...

    ...Used an manual angle finder but forgot I had my digital angle finder that I use for my table saw. From the looks of it I have the camber at 2* on the drivers side. Got 1.4* on the passenger side. I have not figured out the Caster. Will do that on a proper rack. Eyeballed the toe in at 1/8”...

    Wired manual choke open on new carb. No need for it where I live. Trying to decide on which caps I like better. Original 68 caps or the 69 redlines. :steering: Trying to remember where this ground wire goes. I’m thinking it goes from the steering column bracket to the dash? Anyone recall???

    Hellwig sway bar installed. Such an easy install. Looks good IMO. Found one little leak on brake caliper. Tightened that up. Stainless steel lines are ***** sometimes. Praying that does the trick.

    Friend's salvage yard.

    That’s a big spread. I’ve spent a lot of time Rock climbing around the Russellville area. Beautiful country but muggy and buggy for sure.
