    Good brand of a turn signal switch

    Look up Slant Six Dan a member here. He has the best.Never buy one that has a button instead of a wheel on the horn contact. The wheel is the best for long term use. I believe he is associated with Old Car Parts North West that has them.

    Any seen one of these before, or know if it was factory?

    There once was a company called "Gunslinger". They made handle grips,caps and complete pistol grip sticks for manual and automatics. I believe they are no longer around.

    Slant 6 stroker?

    Years ago while Jack Clifford was still alive he said the Slants should be built for torque. Me being young expressed my desire to build a high revving 170. He didn't agree.

    Slant 6 stroker?

    24 years ago we did just that. offset grind the crank . I wasn't the engine builder so don't remember the specs. It was the now defunked Mopar Engines West. The reason was the use of aluminum rods, blah,blah etc. Why ? just for experimental reasons to see what can work.231 cid. $$$$$ to run a...

    FAIL right out of the package.

    I will second this. You now have a 50/50 chance with parts. 20 years ago there was still quality with parts and quality workmanship.Around that time tho,things started to change.

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    Several local repair shops buy Jasper engines.I did talk to one and he said he has a good track record with Jasper. I see their trucks almost daily.

    Steve Magnante’s Old Valiant

    I tried to buy the engine out of it (before the aluminum one) but he had sold it. As said above I think the car was sold overseas.

    Any lube that would stop front suspension squeaking?

    It is possible that you have polyurethane bushings.25 years ago I did my Duster with polyurethane bushings. No one told me that you had to grease them.My squeak was from the sway bar bushings.A few years later some suspension companies started installing grease fittings in their parts. I know...

    273 Rocker on 340

    Did it on several cars. As far back as 1974.Big thing to look for is valve spring clearance as performance springs may be larger diameter compared to the spindly 273 spring. We would grind some from the back of each rocker to clear the retainer and spring. Easy to do. 318-340-360. They work...
