    thanks, sounds like I either get a date coded 340 or big block swap it

    what does numbers matching mean

    Can someone explain what numbers matching on an engine means and how do I decode it? I have a 72 rally 340 challenger and am trying to figure out if I just need a 72 340 block or do I have to find the specific engine that is probably long gone to make it numbers matching. Thanks for the help!

    1974 b body bench seat cover interchangeability

    Currently looking to redo the front bench seat in my satellite. The only white bench seat cover i've found is for a 1971-72 satellite. Can anyone educate me on if there are any differences with the bench seats of 71-74 b body satellites.

    Do older torsion bars droop? (Ride height questions)

    All bushings have been replaced with poly bushings, torsion bars are the only thing thats not new

    Do older torsion bars droop? (Ride height questions)

    Unfortunately the suspension is already apart or i would have posted some.

    Do older torsion bars droop? (Ride height questions)

    My 1974 satellite has its original torsion bars (small block v8) and i am wondering if they droop over time and lower the ride height (and not by messing with the adjuster bolts) I have scraping issues and am changing my hooker headers for some dougs d-453-b headers but i want to know if i...

    Ground clearance issue - change torsion bars?

    I have a 1974 satellite 318 with hooker headers and a 3 inch exhaust. Currently took my car out for a shaledown run after its restoration and i scraped 4 times in my 1/2 mile journey. Does anyone know how i could fix this before i start ordering new parts? The header flange is the lowest...

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    I checked the power valve and its a 6.5

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    Not sure about power valve it was just the one that came in the rebuild kit from summit it did originally have a 25 jet on it so should i change it back to that? Floats have been set and yes damper is lined up, also vacuum advance is disconnected currently

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    Trans was a lil low on fluid so i topped it off. No surge when switching gears. Converter is stock. Accelerator pump currently has a 36 jet size and has .02 gap. Im not sure what rich exhaust smells like, there is mosture when i stick my hand to it (not sure if its gas or just that its 65...

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    The cam has been broken in. I followed what u said and the results are better. Car now starts immediately without any throttle pumping, got the neutral idle to about 750 and in gear its 450-500 bouncing. Vacuum stays around 14 in neutral. I am getting some popping in the exhaust when it starts...

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    In neutral - 14hg in reverse - bounces between 5-10hg Timing stayed the same at 18degrees and idle in neutral is now 900 and in reverse dropped to 500 with a lil variation Do you happen to have a pic of what the transition slot looks like? I have the idle speed screw turn in only about a half...

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    Havent drove it yet so still in the brake in period, im going to check all these things you all have suggested and report back.

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    Highest vacuum I could get was 15 unless I moved the initial timing up to around 30 which seemed way too high but I'm not sure. could it be transmission related if it is not that? the trans has not been rebuilt

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    manual choke - it seems to be rich but I already dropped the jet sizes from 67 to 64. idle screws are 1 1/2 turns out. Could a clog in the idle circuit cause it to run rich perhaps?

    irregular idle while in gear (vacuum leak?)

    The engine a fresh rebuild is a 1974 318 la and currently it is idling at around 1000 to 1500 in neutral and then when put into gear (A904) the idle drops to 500 and then dies when the accelerator pedal is pushed. compression in the cylinders ranges from 125-150 psi the compression ratio is...
