    Head gasket question

    This destined for a 318 What's the difference between the fel pro 17050 "marine" head gaskets and the regular "car" ones? I know fel pro also has a "heavy duty" head gasket version too. Somehow the "9898" part number ( actually spec'd for the 360 I believe) comes to mind. Daily driver, small...

    Advance springs

    A few years ago I bought some (aftermarket) "Mopar" advance springs from a guy who had a ton of them. I don't remember if it was from here or from the/6 site. I guess I should have gotten more sets. I have a couple of "1/2 sets" with the weaker spring left in the package, I only used the...

    [FOR SALE] TQ 9080s

Comes back to a 75-77 440 application, minimal smog crap, probably a truck or motorhome...

    /6 exhaust question low mount starter

    I was browsing the for sale ads and seen something that made me think of this, someone had a set of headers for a /6 with the (more common) high mount starter, which I'm not doing if I decide to go with the a500 and the /6 to SB bolt pattern adapter plate. At this point im not doing headers...

    Cooler line size

    I'm considering doing a conversion from a 727 to an a500. The Mopar OD transmissions have 3/8 cooler lines, where the 3 speed tranny's are 5/16. The fittings in the radiator are still only 1/8 NPT. Do I retain the 5/16 lines and just adapt up at the trans, or do I bend up 3/8" lines that would...

    Distributor ID question

    Something I've had sitting here in the garage for a while, not sure what it fits. Was told Mopar SB. It has the screwdriver slot drive like a SBM distributor does. I looked up a couple online and saw a couple. Both had a gear on the end of the shaft, one of which was claimed to fit a 392 hemi...

    who to trust for hydraulic flat lifters these days?

    Title question pretty much spells it out. If I can't find any "made at least 25 years ago" and have to buy more current stock, who's good, or at least "less bad"? I have a set here that (I don't know why anyone would keep old used ones around) I bought from a swap meet, I know the guy who sold...

    Kickdown lever

    I thought I'd posted this but now can't find it This on a 46re in the Durango I have this trans all blown apart on the bench as we speak. I have heard lotsa talk about kickdown band lever ratios. How you gotta go "5 0" or how you absolutely don't want that, and more. I know there are a few...

    Who knows what about early 8-3/4s?

    I have one here I got from an auction, been modified for I don't know what, I remember looking online for info, and the casting number came back as a 1957-1964 pig, looks freshly rebuilt, has "4.10" written on it by the fill plug, as I remember the info said it was basically a "742" before...

    Trans parts source?

    I have a few of them to rebuild. A 46re (first priority) An a500 A 78 904 non lockup Possibly a 2nd 46re as a spare. I haven't done one in a while, when I was more into transmissions we had a DACCO about 1/2 hour from where I used to live (means an hour from here) And another an hour in a...

    TQ questions

    I have 4 TQs here. 2 are the same as each other, and 1 each of 2 more different numbered versions. I'm wanting to know what difference there would be if all are in equal condition how they'd run on a mild 318. (Don't shoot me, but besides a mild cam that will include a set of 302 heads and a...

    Magnum head question

    I have been thru a pile of magnum heads over the years that I've dismantled hoping to overhaul and more have been cracked than not. And though I've seen lots of post on the forums saying "run em, the cracks are superficial and won't hurt anything" the machine shop won't touch them. I've bought...

    Distributor question

    I have 1 at the moment, am getting a 2nd tomorrow. (Steel distributor gear) Long discontinued Napa part from a /6 racer buddy. Any reason "not" to run it? I have a NOS (not rebuilt!) Distributor in my engine right now. Has its original nylon gear on it. Only because it is NOS. And I've only...

    performer intake question

    More of a verification question. I think I know the answer. I have an original Performer I want to use on a 318. I also want to run a TQ on it. (which I also have) I've run AFBs/Edelbrocks on them, that have their own built in electric chokes on these intakes before. (with a spread bore to...

    trying to post "wanted ad" in "other" section, and "post reply" tab appears "dead"

    as title says. Do I have to post a pic in "wanted"? I don't know what someone may want for what I am asking for so price is hard to judge what else do I have to do besides describe what I am seeking and "post reply"?

    60s /6 to 727 adapter

    This last Friday I picked up a complete 225 and 727 supposedly pulled out of a 64 pickup. The whole reason I got this is for the adapter plate they used to use on /6-727 applications before they came out with the/6 specific 727 case, as I also have an A500 from a Dakota sitting here. That...

    "Truck only" parts on early ones?

    I brought home another/6 today. 225 supposedly pulled from 64 truck I don't know if it was a100 or D Series though there was a d series driver door not far from where the engine sat. (only remnant of older Dodge truck in the barn beside this engine and trans) It has the cartridge oil filter...

    Had a weird one yesterday with a blower motor

    This on our recently gotten Durango. My wife drove it to work yesterday and on the way home the blower motor started making a helluva noise. I get the keys and go chk it out, it's a vibration and rumble like I've never seen a blower motor make. It sounded like something was self destructing...

    Starter question

    This doesn't pertain to an LA or magnum or a /6. This is a newer truck/engine. 12 ram 1500 4.7 My original one is going out, I get that occasional "dead spot" when I hit the key that may happen twice today and then not act up for a week kind of thing. I bought a new reman from eBay...

    Aftermarket gauges?

    I didn't realize that Bosch brand gauges and actron were actually the same. I discovered that when taking stock of what I have here and trying to make a whole "set" (of probably 4) for my newly bought Durango. I like the auto meter ones are I have in my other Durango better (being American made...

    We have anyone here from nearby independence KY?

    I found a Durango that I want someone to lay eyes on. Has engine trouble but the important part is that they claim it's rust free. I made a 4 hour drive (each way) 2 days ago to scottsburg Indiana that wound up being a dud. The trans fluid leak they were worried about ended up being trivial. But...

    anyone else here ever deal with the 4.7?

    Good forum for Dodge D/W trucks?

    As title says. I still haven't found one dedicated just to these trucks. 93-older and NOT these idiots that think this was the "1st gen" of Dodge truck. We all know that Dodge made trucks for 50 years before these trucks came out. There's Chevy truck forums, f150 forums, but dodges are an...

If it isn't as advertised I...

    PB 727 desirability?

    First this is NOT a "for sale" ad as I don't have these parts yet. But a "what if", "what would it be worth" type thing. Situation: I have a /6 in a pickup. Has a 727 in it now. I have everything needed to convert it to an 833 OD which I also have. Another interesting possibility popped up...

    Chart for various stock advance curves

    Does such a thing exist? I know that between a 318 in a heavy truck and a 340 in a light A body that the factory changed this. I also know that in a given year factory service manual they gave specs for distributors used "that" year. I have a few factory service manuals but not every year. I...
