    Cool air cleaner / pcv location

    I finally found a 340 type air cleaner with vacuum controlled air flap and single snorkel. I have always liked the look of it and found it a a great price. I restored it and even found someone on eBay that sells a 318 four barrel sticker for my engine. I thought the vacuum canisters were bad...

    Replacement engine recommendations?

    Hi, hope everyone is having a good day. Not a B -body question but still a Dodge. I recently removed the v6 3.9 engine in my 2001 dodge ram truck to rebuild it. This was my first vehicle so it has sentimental value. The engine shop called me today and let me know the block has a crack at...

    Pertronix "stock look" 7mm high performance ignition wires

    Hi everyone, back to this awesome forum with more questions. Last week I purchased a set of Pertronix flame thrower 7mm "stock look" ignition wires (#708101), for several reasons. The main one was to clean up the engine bay and be able to work around my Hooker headers. My current OE Autozone...

    Distributor Rotor alignment at TDC

    When the engine is at TDC should the distributor rotor point to #1 cylinder or intake front left bolt? The service manual states the intake bolt but I have seen some online threads state the #1 cylinder.

    Wiper switch issues

    I am having issues with my wipers. I have a two speed wiper switch that goes from off to low and high settings. The high setting seems to work fine but every now and then will stop on its own. The low setting does not work at all and I has a clicking sound coming from the switch itself. I...

    Is my timing cover correct?

    Not sure why I have never asked myself this. But is my timing cover correct? My car is a 1967 coronet with engine dated 08-01-66, as you can see from the pictures. The timing cover on it now does not have the timing marks built into it. Instead it’s a sheet metal tab that mounts to the bottom...

    Oil leak near distributor and oil sending unit

    Last year I dealt with the dreaded rear main seal leak on my coronets 318. After trying four different seals I was able to stop the leak. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a drop of oil at the bottom of the bell housing and panicked! I removed the transmission inspection port and no oil buildup...

    Suggestions on lower control arm bushing

    I recently installed the Borgeson quick steer gearbox on my 67 Coronet. In attempting the alignment I kept having issues with setting toe and the car kept pulling to the right. This morning I found out my passenger side LCA bushing is badly damaged and the pivot shaft has lots of play. The...

    Oil filter too close to headers???

    I was doing some work on my 318 and came to the realization of how close the oil filter is to the passenger side header. By logic I would think that this may be heating up the oil beyond what it should be. Would this result in oil pressure drop? I have noticed on long runs on the highway it...

    power steering noise

    Hello everyone. I have a nagging issue with my steering that I would like to resolve. Whenever I am trying to fit into a tight parking spot and turn the steering to lock on either side I get a loud shrieking sound. Other than that the steering system works great. It seems like this only...

    Flowmaster American Thunder Super 40 vs. Pypes Street pro exhaust

    Is anybody currently running a Pypes Street Pro 2.5" exhaust with MVA 13 muffler? My car is a 67 Coronet with slightly modified 318. I have a Flowmaster super 40 system installed which sounds good but has a lot of drone when taking along trip. I currently saw a video of a comparison of both...

    Tune carburetor

    Should the idle mixture screws on a edelbrock carb be adjusted with car in park or drive ? I am using a vacuum gauge to adjust for highest vacuum reading. Car is a 67 coronet with 318 and automatic 727.

    Help. Engine shakes badly at idle.

    On the way back from a car show yesterday I noticed the car had a slight hesitation and engine shake. I pulled off the highway and it felt like a bad misfire. This morning I replaced the distributor cap, ignition wires and checked the coil. I don’t think it is a misfire. The engine starts...

    Fuel sender question.

    I have some problems with my fuel gauge reading correctly, and have finally decided to take care of this annoying issue. It is an aftermarket sender and original fuel gauge. Knowing that the new senders do not really send correct ohm readings I added a meter match to help. My issue is that...

    Rubber floor options.

    I own a 1967 coronet 440 and have reached the point where I can work on the interior. Anyone know where I can purchase a vinyl/rubber floor? I would like to stay away from the traditional carpet to not have to worry on the rainy days.

    Distributor question

    What’s is the small part circled in red in the picture attached? My distributor is not exactly the same but has that same part. It has a flap on top that seems to be spring loaded.

    727 transmission leak at bellhousing.

    When I took my 727 transmission to get rebuilt I also added a Summit deep pan that adds 2 quarts. It shifts great and does not leak anywhere but a small drop every now and then out of the bottom of bellhousing. The car usually gets driven every other week when I am not driving my pickup truck...

    Fuel Pump leaking

    Is it possible for a fuel pump to leak oil from the weep hole? I keep chasing a small oil leak on the passenger side of the engine around the fuel pump. It creates a light oil coat on the front of the block and head. I removed the pump last week and made sure the gasket was good and it was...
