    Lost Kickdown

    I have a 72 Dart with 5.9 magnum and 904 transmission. It has a Cope valve body a few years old that has part throttle kickdown on it. I have never been able to get the part throttle to work but the full throttle was working with a BPE setup. I changed the 1-2 shift speed spring to raise the 2nd...

    Some help with gear pattern?

    8.75 rear, 3.55 in supposed "good" chunk. I pulled ring gear to bolt in suregrip. Set back lash at .007 where it was. Runs very noisy on the gas at all and slowing down, quiet just off throttle. Not sure what to make of this pattern. Thanks.

    Where's the Wow?

    Hey guys, Got my car back together finally and the engine is a major disappointment! It is a 360 and my old 318 was better. I'm not expecting 13 second 1/4 s but I can barely spin a 225/60. Runs smoothly though. Some advice would be great! 1972 Dart 1974 stock 360 short block, with 34k. Still...

    Saginaw pump fittings

    Did Saginaw pumps ever come with an o-ring fitting? I can't tell if someone used the wrong hose at some time. It has a hose with orings on both ends now and it leaks. Are inverse flare threads and o-ring threads the same? I am trying to get a new pressure hose. I have a 72 Dart with...

    DMT awesome vendor!

    I just had to say how great Detroit Muscle Technologies is. I got a set of dash overlay for my Dart, but my gauges had been changed to 1974 at some point and didn't matchthe rest of the dash. I didn't realize it until I started installing. I called them and asked to order a heater section...

Now when trying to set ride height I have to crank the drivers side in most of the way and the pass side about 1/2 way where I would expect it. With the height roughly equal the drivers control arm...

    Which way does it go?

    While rebuilding the front suspension on our 72 Dart the center link got turned around and I am not sure which end goes to the pitman arm. The holes are the same size but one is offset a little.

    Can I make this work on pump gas?

    This is the 318 I asked about the scratches in the cylinder. It has the p4120281 11.5 pistons in it. It had x heads on it, it has been run, I don't know how well it worked. I cc ed the heads at 68 cc. As best I can tell the pistons are zero deck. When I put it .5 in the hole it calculates to -12...

    Need help with scored cylinders

    Ok, I bought this 318 cheap because it had x heads on it. They look OK, but 2 cylinders have scoring. It has .030 over p4120281 pistons which I can't find out much about except they are 11.5:1. How much scoring can be removed before new pistons are needed? What compression would these run with...

    What are these?

    I have to send pictures twice. The first one is what are the rubber cups on the pushrods for? The second is what do these exhaust manifolds fit and are they any good? Both have a 1975 date code. One casting number 3870337-3, the other 3830684. Thanks
