    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?

    OK how to I determine that beforehand? I had three bolts tightened once and then had to start all over again (laying under the vehicle in can be a pain in the butt).

    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...

    LA Engine Pre-oil Tool "Stop" Locations

    I got lucky oiling the driver's side, the rocker shafts filled the first time I spun the drill. However, I almost burned my drill up searching for the sweet spot for the passenger side but finally it filled also. I am using an Oregon Camshaft. It appears the passenger side rocker shaft filled...

    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. "

    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?

    Update: This is how I proceeded. I lowered the vehicle back down to the ground. Placed blocks under the transmission oil pan to support it in its current state. Tried to slide the cherry picker under the chassis but found it interfering with suspension and the torsion bar adjusting bolts...

    Harmonic Balancer Vs. Water Pump Conflict

    Found a plastic bag blowing around the back yard. Turned out to be the bag (with part number) from the water pump I purchased what now must be at least several years ago.
