    Carb recommendations for my 340

    OOPS, yes 800 AVS2... Since the secondaries open on demand it wouldn't be too much.

    Chryslers At Carlisle

    My Plum Crazy Dart has been sitting in storage in PA ever since MoparFest in Ontario last year. I'll be at Carlisle, come back for MoparFest again in August and then another 6000 mile road trip via Rt 66 and the Pacific Coast Highway back home to WA State. Look for me, would love to meet more...

    inherited dodge dart swinger

    Consider a rebuilt 318 that is a direct replacement - less hassle and even comes with a warranty. Seems a lot easier if you're not into solving puzzles and doing fabrication. I've had a succession of 70 Darts with 318s - bulletproof and easy to maintain. My current crop:

    actually both are correct - deluxe wheel vs. standard wheel

    rear suspension lift

    another vote for ESPO. I have +1 springs on all my Darts - some of them 20 years old. They do settle in the first year and then more over time, so your best bet is a +1 or even a +2. Be sure to order 6 leaf springs - that's what all the 340 A bodies of your era came with. They come with the...

    Cheap 318 performance mods.

    send a pm to Halifaxhops here on FABO - he's right there in PA. He does a great job of checking out, repairing (if needed) and recurving your distributor. Wait until you figure out what all you want to do and send him the details on the engine, gears, etc and how you want to use the car and he...

    Classic industries carpet install issues- not for purists

    plus getting the edges cut to fit right under the sill plates! Next try doing it with a console with shifter in the middle! PS: I do love that paint color!

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    Buy a house on tall stilts, not sure how to get your cars above the water, and be sure to take your snorkels. I was in Florida a few years ago and thought it would be cool to go to the highest point in the state, which turned out to be in a flat plot of woods next to a rural road side picnic area...

    Classic industries carpet install issues- not for purists

    Whatever you do, don't start trimming until you get the thing flat. You might try flipping it and warming the backing, that's what is tweaked

    I hope to see your car at MoparFest this summer, in New Hamburg, Ontario - 1500 Mopars, no judging, no prizes, just a damned good time! August 17 & 18

    318 gurus/historians

    first thing I would do is put a dual plane 4bbl intake on it. With dual exhaust and 360 heads, that motor is just begging for it and the results will be significant.

    LD4B Intake question

    I am curious, how did you get the intake ports on the LD4B to seal on the taller 340 ports? I have a couple LD4Bs and it seems there really isn't enough meat above the runner port to effect a good seal on a 340 Port. Have you run this engine yet???

    problem is all my used cam bearings are in used blocks! I agree with Jpar, worth it not to have one buggered on removal and throwing you off

    leaf spring center bolt top nub height/issue?

    clamp the spring leafs securely before you replace that bugger!!! ESPO has longer nub bolts if you can't find then locally.

    Clutch fan installation question

    Having done this a few times, getting the clutch to water pump bolts started was a struggle! But the resulting spacing once installed was perfect. Don't forget the brass sleeve that centers the water pump nub in the clutch hole.

    US Car Tool A518 Cross member

    Sorry Matt, but that just ain't so. On my 42RH that is the stock pan and the specific one shown here is a stock Dorman replacement pan (with the plug relocated). Here's a shot of the stuff hanging out of the bottom of my trans with no pan.

    Paint and Assembly Process Advice

    like forphorty we always paint all the bolt on panels separately and install them after the rest of the car is painted. You get a better wrap around of paint on the edges and I've never found a way to paint the shell assembled with all the underhood stuff installed and not have paint get around...

    US Car Tool A518 Cross member

    I hope that this helps - I put a 42 RH in my Dart and the trans fit in the stock location, front to back. The interference that I had to deal with was the removal of most of the crossmember hoop around the trans tunnel. It is why the USCT piece is so heavy - to restore the strength of the...
