If you go back to tapered bearings, your axles will then be too short, and you won’t be able to adjust the end play.

It has the drivers side engine mount like a 360, I thought it may be a 340. The owner was known to drive a lot of high HP stuff, and him putting something into this truck was quite possible. He worked for the Chrysler proving grounds.

Howdy people, I have stumbled onto an engine casting number 4104230-318 which is in Galen's White Book as a 318 “Race Engine”. Does anybody know what that means, and should I be buying this thing? It’s currently in a 78 Stepside pickup they was owned by a longtime Mopar enthusiast that has...

I use a deep cycle battery in my plow truck all winter. A deep cycle battery needs to be drawn down deeper than an automotive charging system does to car batteries, which attempts to keep a battery at full charge at all times. Like a lithium battery in a screw gun, they need to be drained and...

I replaced just the end on my 70. The rest was still good, so I bought a stub from Derrick Fettig on Marketplace for $50 and replaced it from the front rail . Of course I gusseted the inside as well, and after 5 years and many happy miles, it’s still in perfect shape, despite the guy who posted...

Lynch Road car. Let’s get a couple things straight here. The fender tag is not a callout tag of all of the options on the car, it is actually called a “body plate”, and it’s purpose was to identify changes made to the body that we’re required for certain options. Case in point….why is the radio...

I have a few clutch fans that will work, and I’m out in Pinckney. I also have a 70 6bbl manual car, if you’re interested in coming out, I can hook you up.

Nope, one of us had our way with her, but she was one crazy wildcat. And that’s all I can say here! :-)

I believe you can, but I’m not sure about the column key switches. I know the in dash switches can. A little story…. When I was younger, we would borrow my buddies brothers dodge sportsman van and take it to parties. We picked up this boisterous young chick who insisted that she hold the key...

If you think you have some right quarters under there, come on over to the early A body ranks. My exhaust guy whined and cried about how tight it was between the torsion bar and the frame on my 66 Cuda, and how hard it would be to get the pipe around that and the trans. All while he was doing it...

Oh Lord, are we talking about trannies, or trannys here? ;-)

I remember awhile back, they had that blue trans fluid out that was supposed to be the ****. I had just had my trans rebuilt with the a995 planetary and they used my old input shaft, so it ripped the teeth off the shaft. Took it back to my trans guy, and when he saw that blue fluid in it he just...

My original 6bbl car has the 130 tooth flywheel, the aluminum bellhousing, and a 10.950” clutch. This is not an 11” clutch, there are indeed 10.950” clutches.

Since the original engine is long gone, I would keep the 340, but dress it up as a mild mannered ‘74 318. That’s what I’m doing with my 66 Cuda, stroker 340 dressed up like a 273 2bbl motor.

What if it had power steering?

Oh the stories I could tell. One of last years saves…. My buddies Grandpa died in 1967, they drove his car in the barn, and there it sat until I was commissioned to remove it and find it a new home. All done, gone to a good home, the guy had it running and on the road in less than a weeks time...

If I get called out on an answer I give that I think is right, I always admit my mistake, and we all learn from it. What I see sometimes is that I see people giving good advise, but the OP will only answer to the answers they want to hear, which most times is not the correct answer. You can’t...

But those were not all produced at the same plant, multiple plants means multiple sequential repeats, but at different plants. Since the VIN reflects the plant in the characters, even tho every plant uses the same sequential system, the plant letter in the VIN settles that overlap.

My belief also is….that is the reason that the VIN system was changed from 14 digits to 17, they are producing way more cars now than they did in the 60’s/70’s

I’m almost sure the sequence number is just that, a sequential number, meaning that they are consecutive. It starts out as 100001 at most plants and goes up from there. What changes randomly is the car it’s assigned to, meaning 100002 is given to the next order logged, whether it be a Superbee...
