I'll be first in line at $189! You only live once.

I think I know the answer but, I have to re-clock this thing as it's almost impossible to get an oil filter wrench on the filter. Can I loosen that big bolt and turn it or I am going to need to re-gasket the whole thing? Thank you.

Vice Grip Garage says diesel oil like Shell Rotella has all the onions for old flat tappet engines. I use Amsoil Z-Rod that is specially formulated for flat tappet engines but it's darn near $20.00 a quart right now. It works great for me though so I break out the wallet.

Just a quick update, stock Carter fuel pump from Summit arrived today. Interestingly it states on the box Made in Korea. Looks pretty good! We will see:)

Found it on Summit and placed the order. Thank you

I was trying to keep you in suspense. 1971 340 stock. I have heard that some of the new ones only last about a year or two and some leaked out of the box so I am trying to get some good experiences people have had. This is for a stock resto car so a regulator won't work for me.

Time to think about getting a new mechanical fuel pump for standby as mine is at least 12 years old. I know Carter still makes them but are they USA? Basically I am looking for advise from someone who has replaced theirs fairly recently and had good luck with the one they purchased.

For the past few years I have been buying wear items like date coded spark plug wires, hoses, breathers, electronic parts etc. so when they are no longer available I will have a little stock to keep me going.

Aluminum is a fairly soft metal. I would drill a pilot hole, masking tap over the area and then use a hole saw bit of the proper sizes.

Not my own story but when I was still living in New York I had my Duster parked at a local cruise in and a guy walked over and said, "340 Duster, those things are quick, I had a 427 I put in a Chevelle and there was a 340 Duster in town and it was the only car I couldn't beat!".

I live in a warm climate and use AMSOIL 20w50 Z-rod which contains Zinc.

I find the intake is tough to keep clean because the little nooks and crannies but I usually wipe down what I can reach with quick detailer after each run or so and it has been staying nice. Occasionally I touch up by spraying the paint in a cup and using a small brush. This is after eight years...

Does anyone know if someone sells a restoration stamps to place the part number and pentastar on hoses such as the radiator hose? Thank you.

Does anyone have the starter shield on their Duster or A-body and if so could you show a pic of how this thing is mounted and located..thank you!:thankyou:

My reply would be, you are absolutely right, that is why I bought one. Wait too see his facial expression. Who cares what one man's opinion is and what facts did he base it on? I have people all the time looking at my stock Duster and almost all tell me how fast these cars were back in the...

Does the wire that goes to the oil sending unit on 340 cars with Rallye Dash have this plastic clip on it, or just the metal clip alone..Thank you.

The blue engine is a late build (07/09) and has an angled filter. The orange 340 is a mid year and is straight and pointed down slightly. Which is factory correct? Or are both? Thank you.

I use Amsoil for Muscle cars. It is a pain because you have to order it, and it isn't cheap, but it seems to work well.

I remember mine was a PIA to put in. I used a small flat blade screw driver and worked it a little at the time.

I broke the mounting area off a small block Chevy in the 80s, brought it to a machine shop and they sent it out to a specialist who welded cast iron, worked fine.

Edelbrocks do take a few pumps because the float bowls drain quickly on them, but they should not be hard when the car has not been sitting long and is still warm.

There is no difference. That started with the 1971 Duster 340 Wedge because of the hood decal which is an appearance option. The Wedge refers to the shape of the engine.
