It is a high temp self locking nut, and it is on right.

What rear gear ratio do you have?

Thanks for the clarification Dan. I am just going by what I have heard and read, and my own experience. I admit however that I am no where near as well read as you. I formulate my opinion thdough my personal exeperience - I have had late 60s mopars with manual drum brakes that worked awesome...

Have you tried rockauto? They have lote listed.....

Honestly, IMO you really do not need power brakes in an A body, and it is a fact that, when properly maintained and adjusted, drum brakes stop better than disc brakes. Once only. Where drum brakes fall down is in their ability to shed heat, so they are very prone to brake fade due to boiling the...

Dart, barracuda, valiant? Other options that make it rare? In my opinion, no. There were tens of thousands of these cars built as low dollar grocery getters with 6 cylinders. Most of the A bodies I have owned and seen from that era were manual drum brake cars.

What isnt cheap and reliable about the factory units? What would you gain?

I would suspect the fuel tank vapours expanding in the warm garage and exiting the tank, as suggested. If it hasnt been said yet, one more safety related item. Get rid of the plastic fuel filter. Plastic and glass filters can crack or rupture......you get the picture. Steel canister filters...

I dont know if you have seen it but check this out . Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Is the polarity right on the coil? Even a stock coil should run good and generate a hot spark and low rpms....check to be sure it is wired right and has good voltage to it.

Small block, big block slant six? Can't help you without proper information........

As above, there are broken tap extractors, I think snap on sells them. They have 4 fingers that go down the flutes in the broken tap and you can carefully turn it out, use some heat! Option number two, taps are, as you found out, hardened and very brittle. You can break it up in situ with a...

Exactly. Plus there is negligence on the part of the OP. He brought jiffy lube a car with a known defect, the oil pressure warning light was non functional. They had no way of knowing if there was an oil pressure problem with the car after changing the oil. And then there is the possibility...

Fram filters have been known to have major issues - google fram oil filter reviews and see what comes up. Bottom line is they are not great. At any rate, what part number fram is on it? The part number will be painted on the filter, and will be like PH-8A. Without a working light or gauge you...

It was already mentioned, but I will state it again. CHECK THE PART NUMBER OF THE FILTER. Google it, be sure it is the right one. You should be able to see it without removing it. If it is right, have it removed by a certified mechanic who will sign an affidavit about what he finds. Have him...

Did it start happening all of a sudden? Power brakes? A bad brake booster? Try plugging the vacuum line....could be a bad torque converter, could just be an engine that is out of tune....

Your car is very impressive, you have done a great job of building it. True hotrodding!

This is interesting - I remember reading about this car in the 80's. Not all the mileage is on the same slant though.... http://www.allpar.com/old/high-miles/vaillancourt.php 1.6 million miles on a slant 63 fury! Hey - check it out - 440 posts for me.....it must be a sign.

The hose doesn't need a spring and shouldn't suck flat, if the rad is full and has no air in it.

I totally agree

often times the replacement hoses are too long and need to be trimmed. I believe they are made to fit more than one application. Yours looks simple enough, just a single 90 degree bend, or thereabouts.. If you have a good auto parts store - get them to let you walk around and look at their hoses...

Is it out of gas? I have had quite a few A bodies over the years that ran out at 1/4 or 1/8 tank showing on the gauge...... Like was already suggested - take off the air cleaner, hold the choke open and have someone pump the gas pedal - you should see gas squirt out of the accelerator pump...
