I gave my cousin a set of 4 speed pedals from a '65 Valiant, which he used in his '68 Dart with 340 4 speed, and they worked just fine.

Did you ever adjust valve lash after the initial break in?

Yeah, mostly used in heavy duty vehicles, trucks, vans, etc.

I set the valve lash on my 273 with the motor running. It's not too messy, just keep a rag nearby.

It's cool,I just wish it had a Mopar engine.

'70 Dart - 340 '66 Rambler - 232 '69 Fargo - 360 '49 Fargo - 218 '68 Buick - 350 And just for fun, my buddies '57 Dodge Mayfair.

Time to get out the BFH and pound on it until it clears. I bought Hooker headers years back and I had to do the same thing for power steering. I later upgraded to Dougs Headers and it made a world of difference. They don't rub on anything, they were very easy to install, and they don't hang low...

The main seal leaked on the 390 in my '75 F250, I replaced it with a rope seal. Then when the oil would heat up and thin out, it appeared to leak again. Turned out it was the cam plug above the rear main, it was in but crooked.

The differences include hood, fenders, front and rear bumpers tail lights, '71 has valences, interior parts will bolt in but are different in appearance, cardboard headliner vs cloth, grilles, '74 will have spool mount K frame whereas '71 has biscuit style, '74 has big ball joint upper A arm if...

Let's see some pics of the car.

My 340 is .060 over, no problems.

I run Doug's on the 340 in my '70 Dart and I have to run a short filter.

I use a swivel head socket, or just cut an old 1/2" wrench down to fit back there.

The 340 in my Dart is .060, no problems. Only thing I find is it runs slightly (like within a few degrees) hotter than others.

Damn, very cool!!

Sorry, not selling it, looking into buying one from someone.

What do these intakes typically sell for? This one is for a small block.

I have Doug's on the 340 in my 70 Dart and I run the smaller starter, but I ran the smaller starter when I had Hooker's as well after having issues with the stock starter getting too hot. You don't need to spend the money buying a 'mini starter' either. Just ask for a starter for a '91 - '95...

If you're going to run TTI'S, run Doug's. Same design, hugs tight to the block, they don't hang low or have the drag link running through them, and they're actually affordable unlike TTI's. Just my opinion.

I did coat both sides of the gasket with Permatex Black. I didn't use the sealer on the bolts, but instead Teflon tape. I'll give that advice a try, and thanks as well Pete. I appreciate the responses.

I thought of water running down into the pan when I disassembled, which is why I left the drain plug out while doing the chain. I poured a little oil down the pan to help clean out any water that may have gone in the pan, and saw it flow straight to the drain pan. I didn't put the pan plug...

Clarify, 'what' is leaking?

The timing cover is in great shape. No corrosion anywhere. I pulled the water pump off the timing cover, and cleaned it all up very nicely. All surfaces are very straight, nothing concerned me about them. I know about the bolts, hence why I used Teflon tape. I haven't ever used the tape...

Good to know. I haven't ever checked with a coolant system tester, and haven't had a problem before though.. luck?

I didn't have water in the oil in the bottom end, just the top end. Yes, I did drain all the oil the 2nd time, as well as changed the filter. I cleaned up everything after the 1st time. I only used Teflon tape because I read about others on here doing it, after doing some searches about this...

The temps at home were about -5 degrees Celsius when I was working on the car. I wondered about condensation too, however I don't recall it doing this prior to me doing the timing chain.

I should have clarified from the beginning, I didn't see water in the oil sitting in the pan, but I got the milky substance all over the breather, inside the valve covers, and on the TOP of the dipstick.

Alright, a bit of a weird one. I did the timing chain on the 273 in my '65 Valiant. This wasn't my first timing chain, I've done numerous and never had any problems. After reassembly, I fired it up, and everything was good. I let it warm up, and noticed some oil coming out the breather/oil fill...

If the gear was always toothed against the flywheel, it would always be spinning when the engine is running, which would burn out the starter. When you engage the starter, the gear comes out and grabs the flywheel, then disappears back into the starter. You can ground a starter on a battery...

It wasn't sarcastic at all. I had nothing to add, but wanted to see the responses. I'm horrible at setting total timing, I don't have enough experience doing it by myself, so I always need a hand doing it. Initial I'm fine with, and getting it to run smooth, but total, like said, I need help...
