    who rebuilds 340 dual point prestolite distributors

    the one on the left was in the engine when i bought the car 30+ years ago. The whole engine was painted that chevy color. the guy i got it from had it since the mid 70’s. i don’t think people cared about factory correct colors back then . It would be nice to take it back to close to original...

    Where to buy correct alternator for a 1969 340 swinger non a/c car

    I need some advice on where to buy the correct alternator for my non a/c 340 swinger. The original alternator is long gone. I have a stock wiring harness and a new old stock 69 voltage regulator.

    Prestolite distributor rebuild

    Impressive resto you have going there. I saw what is supposedly a nos 273 Prestolite distributor for sale relatively cheap online. Another guy has a rebush kit for sale but he wants $90 plus shipping. Seems kinda high to me for 2 bushings and some washers lol.

    1968 AM Radio question......

    It is correct for 68 and 69 dart. it will fit in 68 and 69 Cuda but I'm thinking the Cuda one says Plymouth on the face plate.

    Prestolite distributor rebuild

    Anybody rebuilding Prestolite dual point distributors? I started tearing into the stock one that came on my 340. The bushings are shot and I'm pretty sure the vacuum diaphragm is shot too. Any sources out there for parts? Thanks

    76 Dodge dart wont start

    Does is seem like its turning over faster than usual? The worst case scenario is the timing chain could have jumped.

    68 and 69 dart wiring swap

    I know 69 has a different ignition switch connector otherwise its probably the same.
