    understanding a low oil pressure 360

    The one that is INSIDE the block back by the dist you can see by removing the dist. and looking down in. We had one member that claimed he installed a missing one through the dist. hole. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/340-oil-galley-plugs.377270/

    understanding a low oil pressure 360

    As far as I know the "big mistakes" for oil plugs are the two up front where the lifter galleys terminate, the screw in one INSIDE the block back by the dist, and then the little tiny one up in above the oil pump. I too do not remember the dimension anymore. See if I can find it...

    Duster temp gauge problems

    Start by checking the sensor resistance. Here are the standard test resistors for checking gauges: IE the sensor should kinda match these at cold and operating. You can tell if the sender is grounding by checking between the brass shell and the intake. Do NOT overtighten these...

    493 hard to start when warm

    On a side note starting an HP high compression engine with lots of lead is a hell of a good way to break starters

    Ignition is still on when key is at accessory position.

    Are you sure it is on, or that something added is causing a backfeed on run/ shutdown? In other words, start with the engine off and do not crank. Turn the key to ACC and see if the ign system is getting power, AKA does the coil + have power? It should not. It's either right in the...

    Don’t have a Degree Wheel. Problem solved

    The question is, how do you know it's accurate? This IS A serious question. Did you construct some angles, and what did you use to do that?

    1972 Duster factory electronic ignition harness into a 1971 Duster 340 (rallye dash)?

    The above. I think the big thing is translating the wiring your new harness has AT THE CLUSTER connector to the Ralley dash. The connector(s) may not even be the same. the manuals, generally, do not detail the cluster inner workings. But if you can post clear shots of the clusters...

    340/420 90psi Oil Pressure During Prime

    Also the oil is cold and if you used a pre lube grease on the bearings they will be pretty well "sealed" at that point. And what Rusty was saying with drill motor speed. The drill RPM is equal to the engine running at 2x that RPM.

    400 into 73 v8 duster using stock mounts

    I doubt this is much help, maybe encouragement. Just remember, that "back then," at some point, SOMEBODY put a B/RB into one of those and NObody made swap mounts, or a DIY book and Al Gore had yet to "invent the internet." Most guys, even shops, did not have MIG welders, either

    Proportioning valve question for disc brake conversion

    Actually neither one of you are right or wrong, as, poorly stated The fact is whether or not you need proportioning depends on weight bias, tires, sizes of brakes whether drum or disc, and so on. A vehicle, light in the rear, with large rear tires and lots of traction, might just...

    Need wiring help 73 duster

    THIS!!! If you don't have the 2 manual volumes, run over to MyMopar and download them. Not all the connectors are there, but most. Take stuff that doesn't work one at a time and repost here, EG brake lights. The brake light switch should ALWAYS be hot and gets power from one of the...

    67 Valiant question

    Or harmonic balancer puller. EVERY body should have one, and you can buy them ANYWHERE. Be sure you check it out, as modern ones are likely to come with all or at least partial metric bolts. Buy a good one it will last you for life. Lyle, KD tool, a known brand name.

    1963 Valiant Instrument Panel Questions

    If the fuel gauge has 3 terminals, the IVR is built into that gauge How it works External IVR plugs into the circuit board, has a ground, and receives 12V from the key. It "chops" the 12V (original type works like a flasher) to approximently 50% duty cycle. It feeds this power...

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

    None of the short (E body) or long (B body) pistol grips I've seen were that "straight." If you search something like 70 Cuda pistol grip you'll see what I mean.

    Show us some odd ignitions from the past

    AND NOW yet another ANNOYING STORY from the old days In the summer / fall of 67, before I joined the Navy in the spring of 68, I had a high school "friend" who burned my *** BAD. And soon after that we weren't friends, anymore He had a job throwing gas at a local station. He...

    1967 Plymouth Barracuda - Fuel tank not vented properly??????

    I don't know how that line is supposed to be secured on a fish, but that is EXACTLY how it is configured, with a "U" up high near the top of the fender. And ending down into the frame rail is EXACTLY how it ends If it is dripping fuel, it is VERY simple---your tank is too full. The...

    493 hard to start when warm

    Pull the coil high tension wire and ground it to kill the spark. See if it cranks. If so, it's not compression, battery, cables, or the starter. Its way too much timing advance If it still does not crank it could be most any of the above. Start by looking for hot spots in the cables...

    Ignition switch questions

    I keep trying to tell you guys NOT to do {rely} on this. Now, don't get me wrong, you may be right in this case. But PLEASE do not try and use continuity and ohm readings on high current circuits. "The usual" is, that it is way worse than continuity might suggest. In other words you...

    Diagram and Plumbing the Proportioning Valve

    Here's my advice. You need the proper documentation for these brakes. If you are using the 73/ later factory brakes, then go to MyMopar and download the 73 service manuals, and they are free Here is the combo valve pictorial, from page 5-19

    any ideas what this wire is for

    Both you have spoken about is NOT factory. There is no possible way for us to know what they are 4. Best thing I think is to remove them and then if something does not work troubleshoot it to figure out why, and if necessary, rewire as needed. And here it comes so, hang TF ON...

    Electrical Issues

    1...Drain. Start with a 12V test lamp. Disconnect battery ground, and put the lamp between battery post and ground. Does it light? Check everything imaginable. Is lighter pulled out, glove box lamp out, trunk light? Then move to your multimeter, put that in series on the high amps...

    New here - Power brake conversion

    I would discourage you from doing that, rather, fix or upgrade the actual brakes. If the brakes are larger than 9" perhaps the lining is glazed or poorly fitted, etc. By going to larger brakes or front disks, you get way more than just power brakes. My legs are not that strong. When my...
