I dont think I can drop the front any more the headers are only a few inches off the floor as is. Parts for hangers arrived today, but I'm off to Le mans for a week. Yep love that colour gives it a modern twist to a classic shape.

Yes that's my plan. Fit all the new shackles and bushes so I know its all correct then work out how much of a lift it needs.

Yep, you are right, it's not worth making them. Thanks for link. Just ordered from Rock Autos $60 for a pair including shipping and taxes to UK, they arrive 5th June. So I'll think of something else to fix in the meantime.

Im going to replace the rear shackles and bushes as they dont look centred properly. The passenger side is slanted over slightly and the bolts dont look centred I suspect its just a plan threaded bolt the worng size through the spring eye. I can get the bushes in the UK so if someone could...

Right I'm back after a longer than planned pause. Rebuilt the front suspension of a Porsche Boxster that started out as a simple anti roll bar drop link replace. By the time Id finished I've Poly bushed the front end, new wheel bearing and new inner out track rods. so that's all good now. So...

I've been busy on other car projects but about to get back on this. I did run it with the front pulley off but made no difference. As the car is still not UK registered I've decided to press ahead with the other jobs so I can get it on the road and give it a good road test to continue fault...

Yep tried that and it does drop a cylinder one each lead removed. I'm going try another set new plugs goes for a run then check plugs again.

Not much to update as I've been busy on my 58 GMC Apache and changing header tank on my Porsche Boxster. Anyhow I did get a little time on the Dart, it back on all 4 wheels and the bench seat back in place so I could go for a little drive. The short drive confirms it is a vibration but quite...

Not much to update as I've been busy on my 58 GMC Apache and changing header tank on my Porsche Boxster. Anyhow I did get a little time on the Dart, it back on all 4 wheels and the bench seat back in place so I could go for a little drive. I have a few other jobs to do on the Apache and...

Went to a hot rod swap meet in Essex 500 mile round trip But found what I needed 2 off dodge rallye rims. Couldn't believe only £5 each. It was a rare find and super cheap. One on left given a quick clean with a scotch bright to get crappy black paint off. RIght hand one needs rim edge...

ok thanks. Think I'll try a new coil then

OK thanks. Now you mention it my msd 6al on my 58 apache has an msd blaster 2 coil at 0.7 ohm. Think the current coil on the dart is 1.5 ohm.

Been to a swap meet this weekend. So no car progress. A plugs numbered and evenly rich. What ohm primary circuit coil with hei 3 or 1.5 ohm. I'm thinking I. 5 ohm ? Bought this book

yep did that numbered them all. All evenly rich, as you would expect for just running in garage off choke

Standard plugs I think, I have had 2 different sets in NGK I recall. I do have a 3rd set autolite I'm going to try. Gapped 35 thou. Also new plugs leads,, dizzy cap, rotor arm, reluctor, coil pickup, coil, Carb has been stripped rebuilt twice and ultrasonic cleaned But I will revisit all...

Was also wondering about cam timing. Suppose no way to check other than removing cover. Then again what cam is in it?? ? Looking down the dizzy drive hole the cam has a green painted band near the dizzy drive And looks newer Cleaner then rest of engine top of piston are quite carboned up and...

At about 1500 to 2000 rpm it's ike a thud thud thud Vibration like a plug missing. Quite low frequency. Like when your washing machines is on spin cycle and the load is off balance. I might need to move past this get it road legal and see what it like on a run.

Yep I wasn't sure it was the damper either But it has got rid of a bad pulley wobble. So still progress. I've converted ignition to hei. Removed mopar module and ballast resistor. Made no difference Pulling plug leads whilst running drops all cylinders. When running it's a steady 20 on vac...

Ok parts arrived. New damper and new oil seal fitted. Good news is the pulley no longer wobbles on the inner part and outer part. So balancer and pulleys run true. Bad news is its still has this vibration. But im pleased I have the crank correctly balanced front and rear now. Run the engine...

Yep that's also on my radar for sorting out. Not happy with the glass fuel filter right next to the alternator. Going to run a new copper line from pump to carb and put filter before pump.

I decide to re do the wiring to the alternator as I wasn't happy the wiring was just sat in the engine valley touching the rocker cover and intake manifold. I've ran a new power wire from the alternator to relay near the battery and extended the other wires with solder and heated shrink...

Thanks guys my first thought was kansas city lol . I imported the car in 2015 with engine installed but needed completing. Read that as previous owner spent all the money but had no idea on assembly. Lol.

Anyone known what KC means stamped on the snout of a 360 crank? Trying to piece together the spec of my engine.

I get your comment and chuckle with it in agreement. If this was a VW flat four or pretty much any other common engine in the UK I would have searched through my spares box and tried another in 5 mins. However I don't have that luxury and if I'd ordered every part I though was causing this...

I'll be buying a new bolt and washer with the damper. The damper is a tight interference fit on the crank and needs to be pulled on with the bolt and pulled off with a hub pulley. I've checked the damper with the DTI when partially seated too and its the same amount running out of true, that's...

A photo of the crank nose stamped KC, anyone know what this refers to? Also number on inside of crank, or it could be be the lower cam timing sprocket S 359, what does this refer to? Measured a 40 thou wobble on outer edge of damper when installed on crank and can simulate this on the bench...

Well, after another 4 hours of theory, what if's, measurement, head scratching etc I think Ive found the cause of the damper wobble and it turns out we are all correct. Yes it didnt ring 100% correct when the damper was run up in the lathe and was true that the damper was at fault. However I...

I'll check again, tonight. Remember I dont have next day delivery for parts, so I'd be twiddling my thumbs for 2 weeks waiting for the damper to arrive. I need to be 100% sure on this is the problem I'll video the crank DTI check and video it end on close up whilst cranking. I have a small...

sadly the outer ring is fixed hard to the inner ring , no movement what so ever , Used a puller to get it off and didnt touch the outer. The only thing offset on the damper is the rubber. Let see what I find tonight

I hope I am over thinking this, currently sat at work googling 2nd hand cranks or short blocks LOL. On a plus point I've prepared myself for the worst. However the damper has zero wobble when in the lathe inner or outer, yes the rubber is out of position and not running true. I just dont see...
