    Weird clicking sound as I accelerate out of corners.

    Experiencing an odd effect here. My car is running fine, but when I accelerate out of corners, there's a metallic clicking noise that is very loud. It only clicks while I have my foot on the gas; when I let off it goes away and doesn't come back. It sounds like something may be making contact...

    Extremely random, weak spark; sometimes no start

    My Dart was running fine after the carb rebuild...for a couple weeks at least. Now it won't start! Last drove I noticed a severe miss had started, but only at highway speeds and higher in the rev range. Got it home and now it wont start at all. Points look ok, and I can hear/occasionally see a...

    Another non-A-body Slanty application!

    Just stumbled across this iad: KALAMAZOO K TRUCK HAULSTER YARD CART FLATBED 1984 CHRYSLER SLANT 6 MATERIAL - RAILIRON--USED RAILROAD EQUIPMENT FOR SALE OR LEASE According to the research I did, these things were actually more common overseas, but were often used stateside in the rail and...

    Interesting Slant Build! (EDIT: not a Slant, sorry)

    Not an A-body, but cool nonetheless. Guy repowers an Allis Chalmers tractor with a /6. Allis WD repower Dodge - Machine Builders Network EDIT, crap wrong story. I should have read back through that forum to see it was a 318. HERE's an AC with a /6: WD 46

    Stumble on the highway

    Hoping y'all could help me out here. The car runs fine at idle, around town, etc. but randomly will start missing once warmed up good on the highway. My first guess is ignition related since this just started after my wife took it through a car wash. I'm assuming something got wet, but haven't...

    Still haven't figured out the idle issue...

    So a few months ago I had problems with my '68 missing and all kinds of nonsense..turned out that issue was a faulty ignition coil and wonky ballast resistor. Got that figured out, but there has been an ongoing issue with idle quality pertaining to fuel mix. I'm running idle at about 850 rpm...

    another issue:car miss at idle when warm

    So...another issue. Now, the car starts up and runs fine cold, drives completely fine. It even idles pretty good now...right up until it doesn't. The symptoms now include a horrible miss and most often stalling at idle, but it only happens once the car is good and hot. Idle adjustment screws...

    Help with running issue?

    Stumped on this one guys. Over the last 1000 miles I've adjusted the valve lash rebuilt the distributor, and have been working on idle adjustment for easy startup. No biggie right? I had actually gotten the car running great aside from a small and random miss at idle. But then yesterday...

    Can't get the $&@# harmonic balancer back on!

    Title says it all. :protest: replaced the timing chain yesterday evening, no problem. Got the cover on this morning, no problem. CAN'T get the stupid harmonic balancer on to save my life...I've spent the past 3.5 hours doing so. Started with a small hammer and a block of wood, no dice. It's not...

    Running Issues Frustrating Me

    Dang it! Gonna have a hard time getting the Dart to the Mason Dixon race if it's running the way it is. here's what I'm dealing with: -missing on 1 (maybe 2) cylinders, but can't figure out which because the motor won't stay running long enough for me to run around and check it out. -car...

    Who has the highest mileage?

    Im curious...everybody says a Slant lasts forever. I want to see that in action! All you high mileage /6 owners, tell me your odometer readings! I'll edit this post with the top 10 leaderboard. :) I guess I start (nowhere near high mileage): 111,896.

    Lost Power? But idles and runs smoothly?

    I just took the ol' girl out to Deep Creek Lake this weekend; got home a few hours ago. Even on my way up there, I'm noticing that she seems not to have the power she does normally. Throttle response is softer than usual, and twice I noticed a slight backfire as I was cranking her over...

    slanty surges at stops?

    The last week or so I've noticed the ol' girl hasn't been enjoying coming to stoplights and all that. The car drives perfect, and it idles and park and neutral just fine. But idling in gear at a stop or something causes sputtering, missing, and eventually, stalling. Usually it doesn't happen...

    new points, new coil...now doesn't run right?

    On Monday I replaced my points and and put in a new Pertronix 3 ohm 40kv coil. Prior to all that the car had been running fine. I mistakenly pulled the dizzy to remove the points, and so I had a frustrating time getting it back in on the same tooth. Finally got the points set at .20, 15...

    Pertronix Flamethrower II question

    So I just got a Flamethrower II in the mail to test out in my car. I thought I was getting the 40,000v version, looks like this one is 45,000v. Is that going to be too hot for my points setup? I just replaced the points and don't want to get rid of them, but I'm just concerned because it...

    Plugs, wires, coils, oh my!

    So the ol' girl just recently hit 100k miles, and I want to replace the plugs and wires when I adjust the valves. What do you guys recommend for a daily-driven, bone stock slant in the plug and wires department? Also what ignition coil? I'm still using a breaker point setup, if that helps...

    Torsion Bar heads-up

    Just wanted y'all to know that I finally got the .92" bars installed on Lucy yesterday.I was partially afraid that much bar was going to hurt the ride, but I'm pleased to say it still rides good as it ever has! Roll is significantly less, it corners much more confidently. All in all, I think...
