Evidently the factory Thermo-Quad equipped 1973 340 (intake manifold casting #3671918) used a thermostatic choke along with an electric wire that attached to a solid state "controller" that assisted in opening the choke a little quicker than from crossover heat alone. Common knowledge/experience...

Back in the 1970's I remember re-torquing the steel shim head gaskets on a 273 build after the first cool down period after breaking in the camshaft. I did not loosen the bolts, only re-torqued them as they were. I read online today that when re-torquing, the bolt should first be backed off a...

My parents purchased a new '71 Road Runner 383 automatic (see photo of it in present condition back east somewhere). According to Uncle Tony, during that year an automatic 383 had a cast crankshaft and the four-speed had a forged crankshaft (I never heard that before).

Might use the 340 performance exhaust manifolds when I replace the factory 318 with the 340 I am building for our '72 Satellite Sebring Plus. Anyone with experience doing so before me that can give me a heads up on whether to use a 90 degree oil filter adaptor as well? Thank you.

I mistakenly purchased two oil pumps drive for a 340 I am currently rebuilding. After examining them side to side I found the gear end is slightly different. One has a gear teeth that measures about 16 mm (.630") high/thick (green paint splash in photo) and the other measures only 14.5 mm...

Speaking of stretch!

My California Car Cover for the '72 Satellite (Noah edition) received its first tear about the five year mark. I continued to use it for another two years as it continued to fall apart little by little. Vehicle is stored in a double garage without a front doors (more like a carport I guess)...

Need to torque the 4.0 liter cylinder head of our '92 Jeep Cherokee XJ to 22, 45, 110 (100 on one bolt that penetrates water jacket). With a $2,499 Mexican Peso deposit (about $125.00 USD) I brought home a new-looking OEM brand click-type 1/2" drive torque wrench good for 25-250 ft. lbs. Could...

I was concerned when one head bolt I removed from a '92 Jeep Cherokee had half the threads that feed into the cylinder block filled with what looked like black carbon. The bolt was also more stubborn than the other bolts to break free. An online search found some believe it is oil on the threads...

When my parents went to special order a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner at Normindin Chrysler Plymouth in San Jose, the salesman first offered to sell them a leftover Lemon Twist Superbird still for sale in the back lot. I would like to see the 1969 Dodge Daytona (number 22) that ran the 305 Mopar...

Has a factory clock and for some reason a '71 Road Runner grille. Go to minute 37:00 to see wasted valve lifter:

The fuel gauge failed again on the '72 Satellite Sebring Plus. Last time is was the float. This time I have a new/larger pick-up (photo 1) and 3/8" to 5/16" adaptor (photo 2) I am thinking about installing (see photo). The pickup has provisions for a 1/4" return line which I will need to plug...

I can't remember for sure the appearance/style of the "383" decal on my parent's new '71 Road Runner 383 bahama yellow with air grabber hood. I thought it was some kind of reflective material and don't even remember if it was a dark color or a light color. Anyone know the correct application...

According to my photo many years ago, I removed the hood on the '72 Satellite the last time I pulled the 318 motor. This next time I would like to make an attempt to leave the hood in place. Is this idea feasible? Who has tried it before? Thank you.

I never knew about junior drag racing before:

Not the project end I would have expected:

1976 Movie (I was a CHP Officer in South Los Angeles for a short time in 1983):

I don't know what to believe:

I have never seen this bumper rubber strip protector in person:

Today when I picked up my Mopar 340 connecting rods after having the rod bolts replaced and big end reconditioned at a Mexican diesel machine shop, I was told six of the eight rods required demagnetizing. I was not aware of this procedure prior to today. They took care of it at no extra charge.
