    New video idle and revs

    Wish I knew the specs on my motor. The last owner did not know. Tried to get a hold of the owner before him, no response. But it runs and revs well. What do you all think? Mild cam? roller? The MSD has the rev limiter at 6000 rpm. I do know that it is a 68 block. Not sure of compression. Any...

    What are your water temps?

    After mine warms up, it seems to run about 180. Is that acceptable? My modern day cars run much hotter. What do yours run? (Outside temp here in Cali today was about 71 degrees.)

    Transmission cooler question

    Is it really necessary to have a small radiator auxiliary cooler for the transmission? Or will it be ok through the radiator? Don't drive it far, or even a lot. Think it will be ok? It is a reverse valve body tranny, thanks.

    Vapor Lock question

    After a short drive, say 3-5 miles. I open the gas cap and get quite a lot of air rushing in the tank. Could I soon get vapor lock? Why is the cap not allowing air to replace gas? Could it be plugged? Is there a way to check it? Should I drill a small pin hole in the cap to allow air to come...

    My first burn out in my Petty Blue 72

    340 Plymouth duster burn out - YouTube Just had it a few weeks now and getting used to it. I certainly have a traction issue. Poor wife in the back seat was trying to hold on! You can hear her for a brief second! :) It's only a 17 sec video, I am laughing at the end because my girl was...

    First real ride out in my Petty Blue 72

    Finally changed oil using 20-50 Valvoline racing oil with zinc. I was told to use it because of the cam. Not really sure engine specs, last owner bought it already built with no paper work. Oil pressure when started, pegs gauge, then when warm is above 70psi. The dude I bought it from never...

    Much Happier with my Mopar!!

    Last summer I owned a Ferrari Mondial T. It was very cool, enjoyed the experience, but the maintenance scared me off from long term ownership and overall enjoyment, ( on my budget ). But the Duster boils my blood! Feel like I am in high school again! :cheers: Nothing like the muscle car sound!

    Decoding fender tag

    Oil question

    What would you all recommend for oil in my 340? Don't know much about the specs on this car from previous owner in Alta Loma Ca, but I am trying to reach the owner that had it before in Madera Ca. Maybe some one out there recognizes this car? It certainly has a thumpy cam, and revs quick. I...
