    Why are there so many Dodge Scamps?

    I recently Google image-searched "Plymouth Scamp" and was slack-jawed at the number of Plymouth Scamps wearing Dodge Bumblebee stripes. I'd guesstimate that nearly 25% of the Scamps pictured were cross-dressed up as Dodges. Why is this? I know that Plymouth never offered a performance oriented...

    Mr Norm's 1971 Demon 340 GSS in 1/18....

    ... what a disappointment! The tooling has been around for decades with Ertl producing and selling these 1971 Demon 340s back in the 1990s. They're still being sold today, most recently by AutoWorld in a more detailed (but still flawed) form, but now the tooling is being used by Round2 for...

    1970 Swinger 340 hood black out

    Anyone know if the hood/fender leading-edge chrome was a mandatory option when you got the hood black out treatment from the factory?

    "MAX" stamping on heads

    I was poking around a 360 engine (casting 4006830-360-10) tonight and noticed a weird stamping of the word "MAX" on the forward end of both heads on the engine. I have no idea what that means having never seen it before, anyone know? Any chance it was done at a machine shop after they milled the...

    What was Mr Norm up to in 1970?

    We all know that he was busy stuffing big-blocks into Darts in 1967-9, and his GSS Demons in 71/2 are well known but I have never heard a peep about what he was doing, if anything, with A-bodies in the 1970 model year. Was there a 1970 GSS Swinger? I've never heard of one. Was he too busy...

    New car day!

    Not new to the site but I picked up a new-to-me car today! She's a 318 car with a warm 360 under-hood, wearing 340 clothes. Absolutely love it! :)

    Anyone in Montreal?

    I ask as there is a 1971 Demon for sale at Hot Antique Garage in St. Jerome that has caught my eye but I'd really like to have someone knowledgeable about these cars to see it in person for me. The quarter panels look a bit weird (too much quarter hanging out behind the wheelwell chrome) and I...

    1967 Barracuda 383... non Formula S?

    I'm looking at a 1967 Barracuda 383 for sale which has me a little confused. It is an original 383 notchback still wearing its factory paintjob, but it doesn't have a "Formula S" badge anywhere on it. Instead it has the small "V-EIGHT" badges on the lower doglegs of the front fenders. Research...

    360 External balance question

    Quick question: I have an 82 360 in my Demon and have been having balance issues with the engine since I put it in. Tonight I noticed that the relief cut into my harmonic balancer is 180 degrees off from the relief cut into my B&M flexplate. Is this normal??? Thanks!

    Victoria BC members

    This post is for a couple of reasons, one being that I've tentatively booked off the first week in December and plan to be in Victoria with my wife visiting my sister in Sidney from Nov 29 to Dec 6 this year. I know I missed Neil's (65S) visit from Ottawa when I lived there (d'oh!) but don't...

    What a dilemma!

    OK, I've recently received an offer on my car involving a straight up trade for another. I'm having some trouble with the decision... here's the deal: My current car is a 1972 Demon that originally came with a 225/904/7.25 but is now equipped with a fresh 360/727/8.75 combo that I installed...

    Southbank Dodge Mopar Show - Ottawa ON

    Pics from today's show 'n shine. Weather was poor, cloudy and cool with the odd peek of sun... attendance suffered a bit but there were some really nice machines out despite the threat of rain.

    Hockey Night in Canada

    Everyone knows that the CBC (stupidly) sold the famous Hockey Night in Canada theme song to another network right? Well now they're scrambling to replace the theme song and have come up with a contest to choose it. There have been tons of entries so far, some good, some lame, but I wasn't really...

    Spread bore to square bore adapters

    Anyone know if there's a carb adapter available to install a Thermoquad (850) carb onto a 70 340 squarebore intake manifold? I checked Summit and they don't list the Thermoquad in their applications list. Thanks

    How to set breaker points?

    Could someone with intimate knowledge of setting points on a (360) small block (in my 1972 Demon without electronic ignition) please provide me with a really basic step-by-step set of instructions starting at installing the distributor and ending with loud vroom-vroom sounds? Feel free to...

    Edelbrock 1406

    Just a quick question about the Edelbrock Performer carbs: there are two ports on the front of the carb base, one is a full-time vacuum port, the other what they call a "ported" vacuum port. Which one should I hook my vacuum advance line to from the distributor? Thanks!

    The dreaded Click!

    Well I'm just finishing up my 225/904/7.25 to 360/727/8.75 swap and got to the point where I was going to crank her over for the first time. Hooked the battery up, checked the lights to determine battery strength (good!), put the key in and turned it to RUN. Everything AOK so far, turned it...

    Oddball u-joint needed!

    So I'm down to the short strokes on my drivetrain swap and have hit a minor snag. The yoke on my "Duster 340" driveshaft is about 3" or so wide but the yoke on my 8 3/4" pig is much larger, say 3.5" or bigger. That leaves me needing a u-joint that's wider in one direction than the other, like a...

    Slant six removal

    I'm pulling out my slant six tomorrow and am wondering where the best place to bolt on the hoisting chains is. I'm familiar with the V8 engines but have never yanked out a 225 before! I'll be pulling the engine and tranny as one unit using an adjustable sling to aid in slinging the engine at the...

    Fan

    I have two cooling fans sitting in my garage that I'm considering to use on the 360 that's going in soon. Both are clutch fans with serviceable clutches but one is a 19" diameter 7 blade unit, the other is an 18" diameter 5 blade unit. I don't have a shroud to the diameter difference won't be an...

    Autometer tach wiring?

    I got a nice Autometer Sport-Comp tach from a friend today but have no idea which wire gets connected to where. Anyone have a wiring diagram for a tach handy? Thanks!

    Inner axle seals

    Since inner seal leakage is fairly common on the 8 3/4" axle due to wear on the axle shafts, I was wondering if it would be possible to install two seals in each tube to double your leakage protection. The first seal in would rest in the normal location and the second seal would butt up...

    First cruise of 2008!!!

    Finally the weather is decent and the road salt has all been washed away... it's a-body cruising time again! Pictured are my 72 Demon with my friend's cars: 72 Scamp, 75 Scamp and 69 Dart. Life is good (again)! :)

    Starter interchange question

    Any chance the starter from a 225 slant six will bolt on and work on a small block (360) with a 727 tranny?

    Cam for low compression 360

    What would be a nice "performance" cam that would work with a stock compression 1982 360 engine in my Demon running 3.23 gears with a factory hi-stall convertor in the 727? I'd like to upgrade from the stock broomstick and have a nice balance of low end torque, mid rage power and a bumpity...

    Park neutral switch

    Anyone know if the park/neutral switch from a 904 is the same as a 727? I'm still collecting parts for my 225/904 to 360/727 swap and am hoping some of the small parts will interchange. Thanks!
