Guys, how do you really FIX this problem so that it isn't loose, and doesn't leak oil all over the place? :banghead:

On a new 273 rebuild (.30 over, very mild cam), the motor came back with a slight imbalance..... It COULD be that they used a new converter on my 904 with a counterweight....I have NOT verified this yet, but will shortly..... My question is this: If the converter is neutral, and they used...

On my freshly rebuilt 273, there seems to be a problem..... Not the least of which was the fact that my rebuilder actually RE-INSTALLED my old crudded-up and crusty Champion plugs in that brand new motor, AND the old distributor AND rotor that weren't good enough to put on a 1950's Rat-Rod. (I...

My stock valve cover bolts are too short to accommodate my vintage Cal Custom covers (thick aluminum).........Probably the same thickness as the Mopar Performance valve covers. Can someone tell me the EXACT bolt size I need ? (without guessing) Stock bolts have a thread depth of...

Guys....... The shop just punched my 1967 273 2 Barrel to 30 over, and shaved 10 thousandths off the heads......... Can someone please tell me: 1. What is the correct number for displacement now? 2. What would be the correct compression ratio?

I want to get rid of my stock 273 cam/lifter/rocker setup, period......I'm tired of the noise and inconsistency...... What I want to know is this: Will a set of stock 318 heads mount up to my 67 273 with no problems, so I can convert the setup completely over to hydraulic instead of the...

Guys..........I've had this problem before, and probably know almost every trick in the book...BUT, you'se guys are the greatest at this stuff...SO : A few weeks back, I turned the key and had nothing....zip....no relay click either. Nothing. Had all kinds of power, but no starter or relay...

OK..............here's da' scoop............ I have a nice 1967 273 numbers matching in a survivor Barracuda. I absolutely HATE and ABHOR the stinking rockers........I am SICK and TIRED of the blessed little boogers, and I want them GONE, GONE, GONE. At the same time, my valve seals are...

Guys.......... On my mildly worked 360 4BBL with a Torker intake, Holley 650 single feed and Mopar Purple cam (not very noticeable lope), what spark plugs would you guys recommend for all around driving ? The car runs nice and cool all of the time, manifolds instead of headers, and dual 2.5"...

Guys, there are a LOT of rear main seals leaking out there........too many to count........I can't tell you how many cars I've looked at with the problem........A real pain in the brain, and a source of constant drips in the driveway and garage........and it's expensive to have them changed...

On a 74 360, was the balancing internal or external? I have to guess external like the 318's, but I know the 340's were internal...... I want to make sure the car I'm working on is correct.......I feel a little harmonic vibration in there, but not at idle........Could be the torque...

I just installed a 1" high composite insulator under my Holley 4BBL........I had trouble with the gas 'boiling' and lousy performance after it warmed up......Spittin' poppin' when I nailed the throttle, and hard starts when it got hot. I had to raise the cable clamp and spring perch a little...

In the new issue of Mopar Collectors, I just saw an ad for new TTI Hemi to A-Body (and B-Body) motor mounts......for the new generation Hemi's. I had no idea someone was making these.......What I want to know is what about our standard 727 trannies......... Will a new generation Hemi bolt...

I have a stock 273 2BBL in my survivor 67 Cuda, and want to keep it that way........BUT, I'm sick of the rockers and lifters..........Just don't want to mess with the things anymore. What do I have to do to get this thing swapped out for hydraulics? Is there a "pack" I can get for this...

It's a rare event when you can find what appears to be a big problem that actually turns out to be a simple and cheap fix............ Guess we won this one. We removed the counterweight on the back of the harmonic balancer mounted to the crank of our 1970 340 motor, and the shakes and...

Guys, this will be my first harmonic balancer removal on one of my old Mopars...........never had cause to change one before. Is there ANYTHING in particular I need to know about these things before I attempt it ? I have everything out of the way, and the 1-1/8" main retaining bolt is...

Under the previous "Fluid Dampner, How-To" thread, there was quite a bit of great information on balancing of early Mopars, and especially the problem we have been faced with relative to our 1970 date coded 340. To recap, our 70 340 has a vibration problem at 1400 and 2800 rpm's, whether...

Hey guys......... From someone who has zero experience with installing a fluid dampener (balancer)......... Do I understand that the dampener actually replaces the existing harminic balancer, OR does it bolt up to the balancer behind the pulley? (in which case, I'd certainly need a new...

I have a 340/727 combo right now that is definitely having a balance problem, to say the least......takes all the joy out of driving. We've eliminated the rear-end and drive shaft, and the gearing system of the transmission, since the vibration is there even at an idle. It's like a wheel...

Well, the 318 has been in the shop all week long with an old school highly trained Mopar mechanic checking every crack and crevice for problems. They found some oddities, and took care of them....including an advance system that was acting erratic.........coil wasn't up to snuff either, so we...

The Demon has been running great......but the other day, it started acting up at traffic lights, then got worse and wanted to stall out whenever you tried to idle with the tranny engaged. I suspected a vacuum leak, but found nothing but some loose intake bolts.....could be the gaskets, but I...

Hey guys....... I have a 318 in a 72 Dodge that just won't idle for beans right now....running a bit rough too it seems.....not a plug.....not a wire..... Just isn't right.......... I have a sneakin' suspicion that the distributor needs an upgrade or replacement........It's a standard...

On a mildly warmed over 318, we have an Edelbrock Performer Intake and Carb setup, installed before we purchased the car.......the carb was without a proper choke, so we replaced the entire Carb with a new 1400 series Edelbrock Performer Carb (forget the actual number) and electronic choke...

Working on a 70's Dart with A/C and a 318......... The owner would like to keep the engine bay as original..........BUT, the 318 has already been worked over a bit with a 4 BBL. setup, SO it's not really too original already..... I'm not dead sure about the original "charcoal canister"...

I bought a set of Mopar Performance restoration wires from Summit... set # 9797 for the 340 small block. The wires won't fit, no matter how you divide them up.... one is always too short........The only difference from stock here is the Mopar Performance valve covers.........they are...

I'd like an opinion from someones experience.......fact base is somewhat subjective though........ 1972 318, rebuilt (clean up bore).......Edelbrock Performer intake AND Carb (450 cfm)........Mopar purple cam (previous owner does not have the exact model cam numbers.....there were 3 you could...

Another "little" problem.......... 'nuff to drive you to drink....... My 340 runs and drives well, and no trouble (except for the occasional sticky throttle cable, which I just dispatched to the garbage pail)....... I'll be minding my own business, just sittin' at a car show, or inthe...

Guys....I can guess what some of the responses are going to be here, so I'll ask in advance for a bit of kindness....... I've been thinking of a Hemi for an A-Body.....Have 2 candidates....my '67 Cuda Notchback, and my '72 Demon. Both have 904's right now.....the Demon's is mated against...

Hey guys........ I just changed the lifters and pushrods in my 318 (one was done for.....the infernal "tick tick").........Put in a set of Comp Hydraulics and ball rods.........Very nice......smoothed out a bit, and very quiet....like 'em.............BUT, the stock Mopar rocker arms are a bloody...

Last night, I blew the molded hose that connects the water pump to the intake near the thermostat housing. Not a big deal........had it fixed in a jiffy. BUT, when I flushed the water pump outlet (it had a bit if gunk sitting in it), I noticed a "needle" of some sort in the middle of the...
