Hi all, I recently installed a rebuilt 360 (not my build) and within half an hour of running time I have a major water leak into the oil, thick mayo.. I immediately thought of worst case scenarios and removed the short 9/16 bolt that hold the power steering bracket to the motor. Coolant came out...

Guys my wipers don’t work. I have the procedure for bench testing the motor. Is there any reason why I can’t do the bench test with the wiper motor still attached? I’d unplug the bulkhead connection for the wipers and test it on the disconnected battery this test; Bench testing procedure...

Hi all, looking to remove the rim below the rear side window, removed the 3 screws but not coming out. Is it part of the lower panel or separate? Earlier I removed the door rest, winder etc , but can’t seem to get the upper panel (steel part) out.

Hi team, been offered an Air Gap for my 360 and wondering if it will fit under a stock ‘66 Barracuda hood. I was hoping to use the 273 Commando air cleaner and keep it stealthish...but thinking I might be pushing my luck. Any one tried this with success?

Hi all, I’m due to replace the water pump on my ‘66 Barracuda 273. The old fittings for the heater hose and bypass hose aren’t going to come out and I need to know what size NPT to bypass fitting I need. The large threaded hole in the new water pump measures 1” across and the current bypass hose...

Hi all, I know this subject comes up, but I have found contradictions at times. I’m in the UK so really need to order the correct parts just once.due to shipping and taxes etc.. Car- 1966 Barracuda Formula S with stock10” drum brakes all round. What to buy? I’m thinking a 1967 master cylinder...

Hi all, picked up an engine for my car yesterday and the seller included this dizzy for free. Can’t see any markings on it and I wondered if anyone recognised it? Fits a LA motor and I noticed that the reluctor gap was huge and that two brass terminals I the pic were not attached inside the...

Hi all, I’m about to drop a 360 into my 1966 Barracuda Formula S with the early 904. I keep reading that the crank snout of the 360 won’t fit the 904 correctly and cause problems. Despite searching I can’t find any recent reference to such a bushing. I will be using the B&M flexplaye with the...

Hi all, despite much reading, I still can’t find a definitive answer to this query. I have a chance of a 741 8.75” rear from a A100 van. I’m aware that they are wider, but wondering if the axle would fit if I chose new wheels with bigger backspace. Original 7.25 is a Suregrip, but pinion is...

Hi all, been absent a long while, maybe 2006ish after I sold my 360 Dart. Back in the A body fold after selling a nice 340 Roadrunner I had for some years. Now with a matching numbers 1966 Barracuda Formula S auto. Real nice car and plenty of question likely to come up as I re-learn A body...

Hi all, I'm considering changing out my comp cam XE268 can for a Voodoo hydraulic Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 268/276 Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 226/234 Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .494/.513 Voodoo has a little more duration but approx 25% more lift. Is it worth the effort? I ask as I...

Looking at fitting. 650 version. I'm attracted to the annualr boosters for low to mid range torque and stronger signal. Anyone tried one and able to feedback? Motor is a well sorted 340 but is in a B body, 340 Roadrunner hence the desire for more low end pick up.

I've recently fitted one of the new street demon 750 carbs to my 340. It runs very well and pulls much harder than my Holley 670 especially since I fitted the RHS/IMM heads. However, my AF guage is giving really rich readings at cruise when using part throttle. Typical lay 60 or 70mph cruse I'm...

Hi guys, a bit of a cheeky request as the car involved is B body, 73 Roadrunner. I did ask over on forbbodiesonly, but only got one response which was helpful, but Id just like a wider range of options. Car has real 10.1 compression with the smaller valve J heads, stock rocker gear which id...

Guys, I've been offered an 8.75 bare axle and shafts. Will my existing brake hardware from the existing 7.25 axel swap onto the 8.75?

Ihave a new 670 Holley Street Avenger recently fitted. Ran nicely out of the box, but felt a touch lean so I upped the primary mains from 65 to 68. I also swapped in a light spring to bring the vacs in earlier. on the highway, the car runs smooth and strong, but at around 4000rpm up she...

741 with all new parts, just assembled, buy not by me.It whines on the over run especially around 2000rpm. doesnt seem so bad at cruise or high speed. i'm assuming its been assembled wrong, but I have read here in the past that some ring and pinions are noisey. This one is a 3.55 motive gear set.

Just had this fitted to my 8.75 rear; http://www.richmondgear.com/powertrax/lockright2.html It clanks going round corners and as i straighten it gives off quite a bang. No probs going in a straight line. I'm new to LSDs (no jokes) so not sure what to expect. Its pretty basic and having...

Just fitted new pistons - H116CP sealed power units. adverised as .027 down the bore and the block is not decked. -5cc valve reliefs. My cam is the usual XE268H with a lift of.084. Can anyone tell me from experience whether i am likely to have any clearence issues as this combination is used...

About time i updated this as it may be of interest to those who offered help. i experienced fluctuation in my oil pressure this spring so i decided to pull the motor and check. Glad I did as much was wrong. The mains were worn down to the copper in places and some of the rods ends too. Close...

Hi, whilst i've got the 360 pulled out of my Dart I intend to upgrade pistons for more compression. I currently have Speed Pro H405 pistons and intend to uprate to the Speed pro H116CP + 30 version. The new piston wil sit .027 from the deck, compared to the curent .050. I dont really want...

guys, having serious overheating issues. Before I go any further, is the heater hose connected wrongly here on my new air Gap manifold? http://www.moparuk.com/forums/files/hose_connections_edit_168.jpg I ask, as with the previous manifold the hose connected to the left of the top hose to...

hi guys, concerned about my pressure guage showing some wild fluctuation. did a long hot run (250 miles) last weekend on the highway. Pressure showed usual 55psi and after about 45 minutes started to fluctuate mildy between 45-55. Onthe return journey i had the same experience, but...

hi Guys, Bolted a holley 750 vac/sec onto my 360 this week. Motor has 268 cam and air gap inlet, 3.23 rear. for some reason the secodaries wont open. Ive checked everything e.g linkage, diaphram, fitted weakest (white) spring and removed the ball check thingy. Still no evidence of...

Tried comp cams spec sheet on website without luck. i have just changed from comp cams XE266 cam to XE268. Just broke it in last night. It occured to me that i might have to make pushrod/rocker adjustments if the base circles were different. Anyone able to advise? I havent road tested the...

Cloxkwise for small block, right???

Been offered the following to fit my Dart. Would be a $50 investment...

Not fussed about general condition. Just need a pair of rims for putting my drag radials on for occassional racing. 15 x 7 would need shipped to Oregon (my cost, obviously!)

Just pulled my 360 apart, the cloyes timing set is only 3 years old and has already stretched. Can I trust Comp Cams sets? I'd like Rollmaster, but shipping to the UK trebles the price!

Check this, worth watching especially for the final run where the speed of the car is really visible. Seen it run a few times and it is soo straight. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Fastest-Street-Legal-Car_157214.htm Also, check the owners genuine 'Black Country' English dialect!
