    Crank pulley hole alignment question

    I've read before others having this problem. Stock 1970 340, stock vibration dampner and stock 2-groove crank pulley. Only 5 of the 6 holes line up. My in-family Mopar expert says that's not right; either dampner is wrong or pulley. Pulley # 3814378. I can't find if that # is correct for...

    Where to start with a rusty block?

    So I took this 2780930-340-7 (what the heck does the 7 stand for)stock 2.9.72 built bare block to a local machine shop. Their clean/ shot blasting cleanup is $100 which I thought was fair. He then took a look at the rust and said it would take a lot more. Bore, hone etc. Has anyone started...

    Visually detecting a rear main seal leak?How?

    For those of us who have never had a rear main seal leak, can you tell me (us) how do we discover we actually have one. I got under the car and oil drips are on the oil pan drain, inspection cover hole, starter, splatters on the exhaust pipes and the A833. I have double-checked all valve covers...

    First time timing with new TQ, help

    New restified 800 TQ, 340, 4 spd, electronic ign. Put a timing light on it at idle and it reads 10 btdc. Quite often on this thread it is said to be at 35 advanced at about 2500 rpm. When I rev it the mark disappears, so how do you know its 35? Stop laughing, it has been over 30 years since...
