    No Garage Doors-No Car Insurance?

    Tried to add second vehicle to my Hagerty classic car insurance but ran into a little hitch-now require fotos of both vehicles in a fully enclosed garage. And I quote: "We do require secure, enclosed storage for vehicles to qualify with Hagerty, so we'll need to confirm that both vehicles are...

    Any Good Ideas How to Substitute a Lost Timing Light Adaptor (spring thing)?

    Need to find something around here I can use to hook up old school timing light which is without the spring adaptor that went from the spark plug to the spark plug wire so a spot would be available for the timing light. Thank you for any ingenuous ideas.

    Using 318 Kick Down LInkage with a 340 manifold and Thermo Quad?

    I would rather not use the Lokar-style kick down setup. I prefer to re-use the factory 318 kick down linkage because I just like the way its setup (photo #1). I transferred all the '72 318 linkage to '72/'73 340 intake manifold and that is fine. However, the Thermoquad doesn't exactly match the...

    Are '72 Torque Convertor Bolts Indexed?

    I thought I installed a Mopar flex plate to a torque convertor one time where the bolts had to go in a certain pattern (could have been '65 year model). Now I am about to install a 340 to replace the 318 in my '72 Satellite and I'm not sure if the flex plate bolts up to the torque convertor only...

    Ready to Install Rebuilt 340 Into '72 Satellite

    The "Hodge Podge" 340 I purchased in Sacramento some years ago now has new rings and bearings and is ready to drop into the engine bay of our '72 Satellite Sebring Plus: see photo #1 (once a hodge podge always a hodge podge which explains the "paint scheme" which is all over the map). Anyone...

    LA Engine Pre-oil Tool "Stop" Locations

    Now that I have a DIY timing tape on the 340 and a pre-oil tool, does anyone know where the cams needs to stop per crank degrees to send oil to each bank of of rocker shafts? Just trying to avoid unnecessary stops as I rotate the crankshaft to send oil to the lifters and valves. Thank you. "

    Mopar Hi-P0 Exhaust Manifold Fasteners?

    Do the facctory 1968 340 exhaust manifolds use the same two studs on the extreme ends (with four other bolts) like the 318 or are the studs eliminated by using six bolts? Thank you.

    Who Has Experience With AEM Air/Fuel Gauge?

    About to install a 340 to replace the 318 in our '72 Satellite Sebring Plus. May start it up using the Carter two-barrel and install the thermo-quad later. I have an AEM air/fuel ration gauge collecting dust on the shelf I would like to use (model 30-4110. I would like to know somehow who has...

    How To Remove Small Block From '72 BBody: Level or Jacked?

    The 318 is all loose and ready to remove. My only question now is whether to pull it jacked up like it is (so I could disconnect the torque convertor) or bring it back down on it's tires again? I realize either option will require me to find some way or other to support the automatic...

    1972 BBody Small Block P/S Bracket Question

    While removing the water pump on our '72 Satellite Sebring Plus I heard something drop to the ground. I picked up a "H" shaped spacer (see it in the middle of the bolts). I don't know if that was a factory spacer or added from a previous owner. The problem is, I did not see from which...

    Harmonic Balancer Vs. Water Pump Conflict

    After installing the timing cover, water pump, and harmonic balancer on this rebuild 340 project, the engine now rotates with extreme difficulty over 90 degrees of rotation. At first, i squirted VD-40 in the spark plug holes believing maybe one cylinder was a little dry, put that attempt...

    Anyone Using Aluminum Valve Spring Retainers (still)?

    Back in the '70's I used aluminum retainers on my 273 small block bracket racer ('65 Valiant) with an Isky solid 1012B/C camshaft 312 advertised duration and .580 lift with the recommended dual springs with damper. Never had a problem with aluminum retainers. Just curious if they have completed...
