    Friends, lovers, Chevy cretins....Let's unf*ck a Six Pack

    Thanks! If you plan on factory air conditioning I don’t think the factory air cleaner will fit, but probably easy to mod. Besides, I’d go with a modern compressor anyway…..

    Friends, lovers, Chevy cretins....Let's unf*ck a Six Pack

    Yep, still available! For what it’s worth I’m using the A body standard 4 barrel cable on my ‘70 Dart, I’d guess the 2 barrel is the same…. Ken

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    That looks like enough dimensions, let me see what I can draw up. Now that I see the picture I believe it can be printed with the rounded top. I'll post a picture of the drawing first, might take a day or so to get time to do it. Once it looks good then I can print a few samples. Thanks!

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    I'd need the hole size too, that sets the end of the plug you push into the hole.

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    This one? I could do that one, because of the way it must be printed the top surface would be flat rather than rounded. If you were looking for originality it wouldn’t look quite right, but it might be close. For 3D printing, one side must be on the printer bed. So that side will be flat...

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    I left the rubber gasket on for 1 week since the fuel level was lower than the gasket. When I took it off to put on the TPU gasket the rubber had already started to crack. That was a brand new rubber gasket, glad I got rid that one. Thanks to all of you for all the tricks on making the repo...

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    So far, full tank and no leaks so that TPU gasket is working fine. I really liked the way it compressed without pinching- the rubber gaskets tend to drag with the lock ring and pinch, when that happens you get a leak.

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    Hi Jim, I don't mind doing a few for the folks on this forum so sure I can do some for you. I'm not sure if the '71 VG Valiant has the same tank as a '70 Dart, but I'd expect it is. Especially if it uses the same sending unit. If you'll PM me your address I'll print out a few different...

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    Yes I think I could do that- I’d need an accurate pattern plus the thickness you want. I’m not wanting to get into the business of 3D printed gaskets but I’ll give it a try and you can see how you like it. While TPU will work for carb to air cleaner gaskets, it is heat sensitive so can’t be...

    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    Replacing the sender in the tank of an A body typically results in a leak around the replacement rubber gasket. There’s been comments about the new lock rings being too thin, etc. Having a 3D printer handy and knowing TPU filament is flexible and impervious to gasoline, I’ve been using it for...

    Damaged Pressure Plate Straps

    Rustyratrod, thank you for the info on Kentucky Clutch. I called them and they were friendly and knowledgeable and answered my questions. They did say that the downshifting could cause a bent drive spring but it would have to be really hard and also that shipping damage could have been the...

    Damaged Pressure Plate Straps

    Well I'm still wondering if it is something I did.....and I understand any manufacturer might have trouble believing that I didn't do anything hard on the clutch. So I understand their position, don't have to like it.

    Damaged Pressure Plate Straps

    BTW, I was reading Clutch University on the Ram site and it did talk about downshifts when letting the engine idle causing bent straps. I’d expect that would bend all three at the same time….

    Damaged Pressure Plate Straps

    Z bar and pushrods all stock, new bushings so it’s not the linkage but thanks for the thoughts. I’m still not sure how only one of the straps could be damaged but it sure was. I had the standard B&B three finger pp in it for 25,000 very hard miles with no problems. Wore the friction material...

    Damaged Pressure Plate Straps

    Thanks, I already tried. They said it was caused by high rpm downshift and wouldn’t do anything about it. I’m not buying that because: never did any high speed downshift and such an event would bend all 3 straps not just one.

    Thanks Rusty! I'll give them a call.

    Damaged Pressure Plate Straps

    Hello all, I am hoping some of you might have had this problem before and can shed some light on it. The pictures are a brand new Pressure plate from my 1970 Dart 340. I've had a heck of a vibration with the new engine and clutch parts and finally tracked it down to the pressure plate drive...

    I agree with all, fingers crossed on the flywheel/pressure plate/clutch

    340 8 bolt crank info wanted

    Thanks Gzig5! I'm not so interested in the exact stroke but I wanted to know if this crank is for internal balanced motors. Since it is an 8 bolt crank for a 340 and I was told it was an old Mopar Performance crank I believe it was for internal balanced engines. Just wanted to know as much as...

    340 8 bolt crank info wanted

    Thanks for the support! Fingers crossed it’s the pressure plate, really hate to take such a good running engine apart.

    340 8 bolt crank info wanted

    Thank you very much Rocket!!! I'll bet it is the 714 crank, that would make sense. And yes you are right it's likely 4.070 bore. I really appreciate the information, thank you all very much. Now to fix that vibration

    340 8 bolt crank info wanted

    I have pin pointed it to the rotating parts- flywheel, clutch, crank, engine internals. It's not the trans or driveline, does it in neutral sitting in the driveway. Ruled out ignition, misfiring, pulleys, external accessories, etc. I replaced the harmonic damper with a Fuidampr hoping that...

    340 8 bolt crank info wanted

    Thanks, but heads are on it and it's in the car. Balancer was internal balance, so was flywheel. But it has a vibration that feels like it's out of balance, trying to figure it out.
