    Stripped spark plug threads 75 Dart

    I just bought a 75 Dart Sport 225-6 "parts car" that the seller said was a low mileage driver until they broke off a spark plug in the head. Apparently they tried drilling it with the head attached and what was left was a hole with no threads. I was amazed with how complete and unmolested the...

    installing intake/exhaust manifold

    Someone posted a link a while back to a site (slant6.com perhaps?) where it outlined the correct slant manifold installation procedure and where each washer goes. I can't find that site now that I'm ready to do it. What I really liked was the diagram that showed which bolts get triangular...

    "rocks in a blender" sound in my wife's slant Valiant

    I finally found the problem! Actually I suspected all along that it would be a flexplate, I'm just amazed that the car still moved down the road!

    Can I use a 67 904 on a 72 225 or is the crankshaft register hole size a problem?

    I've opened this discussion up on a "wanted" thread (because I may need a new flexplate) but I thought I'd post it here also. I'd appreciate any advice from people who have done it! I have a rebuilt 904 from a 67 slant (I think it's a 170). I need to put it on my 72 225. I've been reading...

    Wanted: Good Slant 6 Trans delivered to the Nats

    I've posted this elsewhere, so forgive the double posting but the Nationals are getting close and I still haven't found a trans yet. I need a 904 automatic that you know to be good, with the original converter (so I don't run into "lockup/non lockup" issues) preferably needing nothing to bolt in...

    Slant 6 Power steering issue

    I recently bought a 72 Valiant with a 225 upgraded to the Super 6. The guy said that the power steering pump leaked at the housing, so I decided to swap out an identical Federal pump I had in the shop. I started it up to work on another problem (Carb won't idle) and I set the idle high so it...

    225 Slant Six Parts Delivered to the Mopar Nationals

    I'm parting a 72 Dart 225 Slant Six with 904 trans. I never saw the motor run but it's supposed to be in relatively good condition. Normally I would scrap it, but with the Mopar Nationals next week I thought I would ask if anybody needs any parts off the motor or transmission. With the price of...

    "straight six sitting sideways under the hood"

    I got a good chuckle this morning as I was searching Dart parts cars on Ebay. The writeup, obviously by a non-Mopar enthsiast, described how horrible this 74 parts car was. After saying that it was completely trashed, the description included this line: "THERE IS AN OLD STRAIGHT 6 MOTOR...
