My brother used stock 1969 340 pistons in his 1973 block with x heads and a purple shaft cam and it works great. Bobby

OK fel- pro # fs 8553pt-10 On the package it says 318-340. Bobby

I have one in the garage, I'll be right back.

I just used two gaskets on each side. It worked for me but I was using Cal Custom valve covers and a Edelbrock street master intake. Not sure if the castings are the same thickness as yours. Bobby

Here is an update if anyone is looking for the linkage. A fellow on ebay has them. Dale Wilch Sales Company in Kansas. My brother ordered his this week. Looks like a very nice kit and should work well. Bobby

Yes its a str12 for the small block. Thanks for the info Rocket I'll check ebay. Bobby

Hi. My brother ( yes the same one ) has a cross ram manifold that he bought 35 Years ago. He decided its time to gather the parts to be able to install and use it. Does anyone know where to buy the linkage for the carbs? Thanks. Bobby

Jean-Guy we'll have to lead and he will follow us. Bobby Thanks Dartnut. I was checking the lengths of different cables and noticed that the six was a little longer, also the c body uses a longer cable. Bobby

Thanks for all the help. He just got it back today from his carb guy and it looks great. I must admit I'm jealous. On the positive side he said I could use his cross ram on mine so I just might do that. It's going to be a few weeks before it is installed so we'll try the original cable at that...

Thanks Jack will do. Bobby

Hi. My brother is finally installing the six pack he bought years ago. Can anyone tell me if the throttle cable is different between a four barrel and a six pack? He has a 1973 Duster with the original 340. Thanks. Bobby

Sounds like the valve covers could be the problem, either leaking or warped as already mentioned. Don't know why anyone would notch the valve covers when installing two gaskets per side is so much easier and fixes the problem. I did that four years ago when I changed from a 318 to a 340 and have...

Hi. If it is for a small block the number is 1068 and #1085 is shorter still. Bobby

Hi. Fram PH 43 works also. Bobby

Hi. You should check the distributer, even with the cap off the body of the distributer could be hitting the firewall. Bobby

Don't feel stupid, until I was told the difference I did't know either. No such thing as stupid questions just stupid answers. Bobby

Hi. In post # 16 you mention that magnum 360 are long blocks and will you have to modify your driveshaft. The term "long block " refers to how complete the engine is. A long block includes the block, heads and sometimes the intake manifold. A "short block" is the block,crank,rods and pistons so...

Hi. I also prefer NAPA gold filters which are made by Wix (mostly because I work for NAPA). The number for the short filter is 51068 and you can also use 51085 which is even shorter if you have clearance issues. Bobby

HI. I had the same problem with mine leaking also. Instead of grinding the valve cover I glued two gaskets together to give me more clearance and now no leaks. Bobby

Hi. While the heads are off they should be checked for cracks and if they are warped. If the engine didn't overheat you should be fine. Bobby

Hi. Water + oil = milky looking oil and produces white smoke out the tail pipes. Probably head gaskets might be cracked heads. Good luck. Bobby

Hi. Don't forget to check the oil pressure switch. They can make a mess when they leak. Good luck. Bobby

Hi. I Had The Same Problem This Spring, Here's My Fix. I Used A Product Called J.b.weld Its A Two Part Compound That You Mix Together And Apply To Your Leak. Just Drain Your Coolant Below The Leak Dry The Area And Apply. Loctite Also Makes A Simular Product If You Cant Find J.b.weld. I've Driven...
