    Intro

    By ScooterLaw

    My friends call me Scooter....so hey, whats up? Been a big Chrysler fann for years. Owned a couple of '69 Chargers and a couple of 340 Dusters.....one was a badass FE5 4 speed Duster and I miss it. It was an easy 12 second car. So, I'm putting my restored (not rotisserie) 1991 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 coupe up for sale to raise funds for the '71 340 duster I'll be in search of. The mustang is pretty, COMPLETELY bone stock and an all original 5 speed car beautifully finished in Bimini... Read more

    New intake manifold hose nipples, pre-1970

    By physixx

    I have for sale a pair of new, never installed intake manifold hose nipples. One is the by-pass nipple as used on the pre-1970 engines with the smaller ¾” hose end, has a 1.5” total length. And has a ½” NPT end for the intake side. The second is the heater hose nipple for the 5/8” heater hose. This has a 3/8” NPT fitting for the intake side with a 3” total length. I would like to get $8.00 for both fittings plus the shipping. Ken Edison, NJ

    Stock Magnum Head Work

    By jmanhoff

    Hi all, I’m going down a rabbit hole of debating on ways to fix a ticking noise in my newly built Magnum 360. I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Odessa heads (stock new casting, not the Monster Magnums) having a bad valve job (boo on me for not getting them checked before install lol). I’m thinking about getting a set of junkyard heads to use to either have those worked on, or work on the ones that I currently have in the truck and use the junkyard ones as a temporary holdover. It’s... Read more

    1963-66 Dart footwells

    By Lee Robinson

    I have a pair of footwells for 63-66 Darts. They are in good condition with surface rust, no rot. These are the pieces that give a Dart the longer wheelbase than Valiants. $50.00 each plus the ride from El Dorado Hills, Ca. PM me if interested.

    Intake Question

    By raymondjcksn

    I recently purchased a 72 340 Demon. I noticed this gap between the intake and head. Is this normal or should there be a gasket or tray installed here? It’s the same on both sides. I’ve never seen this and it’s throwing me off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

    By Sublime one

    Well I have decided to take the plunge and start a QnA thread for the topic of Guns,Dogs and Blades. The catalyst is the chatter on the AR15 thread. There is just a wealth of knowledge and experience inside FABO with regard to Firearms. Dogs and blades just kind of worked their way in. Please note, given it is a Firearms based QnA platform invariably someone will stray into politics. This thread, like so many others will get pulled and dumped into NP section in the event that happens. Please... Read more

    Magnum Heads Valve Spring Issue

    By THOM IN TEXAS

    I'm building a 318 using stock Magnum junk yard heads with the Hipotek aftermarket rocker arm kit and Hughes Engine valve springs and an Isky flat tappet cam Duration 280/280, Lift 0.485/0.485 (CL390181). Unfortunately, I have been waiting for months for the valve springs from Hughes and the deliver date keeps getting pushed out. Does anyone have an alternate valve spring that would work with this setup? Would stock magnum valve springs work?

    ID numbers on the FRONT of my Slant 6 block?

    By timk225

    After nearly 3 damn months, I finally got my 1986 truck 225 block back from the machine shop today! When I first got it, it had no number stamps in the typical place on the block ledge below the #1 spark plug. Once I saw the block all nice and clean today, I noticed it had its stamps on the FRONT of the block, just below the deck surface. We chopped the deck 0.080", so we nearly got into the numbers. Bored 30 over also, got the oil passages all scrubbed out, new brass freeze plugs... Read more

    73 Duster build named Fred

    By Boosted

    ***Edited to be my build thread*** Been looking 6 months for a clean A-Body to do a tribute build for my dad and finally came across one that wasn't a rust bucket or $15K+ so I had to grab it. This build will be dedicated to my late father. 50 years ago, he brought home a brand new 1973 A-Body Mopar in F7/8 green (the color of my SuperStock). On March 4, I will be starting the tribute build of this 50 year old A-Body Mopar, a 1973 Plymouth Duster which I plan to paint F7/8 green someday... Read more

    The E-Street Difference

    By 318willrun

    I was about 100% spot on with my estimation. 3.3 tenths and approximately 2mph. Here are the two ET slips. I almost got into the 7’s in the eighth. Everywhere on the slip improved. I say approximately 2 mph because I did hit 98 mph but it’s not on the slip I’ve shown. What I’ve shown was my best times with the cast-iron heads.

    Who sells points for Prestolite Dual Point Distributors

    By atedepumpo

    The car is 1968 Dodge Dart 340 GTS with the original dual point distributor. I ordered United Motor Products CP-026 points (on the left in the picture) from Rockauto. They are listed as being for Prestolite Dual Contact Distributor, but they don’t fit and are basically a mirror image of the correct points (on the right in the picture). And as I poke around online, most of the points I’m seeing that are listed for the Prestolite distributor are the same at the improper CP-026 points. Also... Read more

    Proportioning valve options with disk brake conversion.

    By jawbone

    In the middle of front suspension rebuild on 68 Barracuda. Originally a /6 car with 9 inch drums. Upon completion will have manual front factory disk brakes and 15/16 bore master cylinder as spec. for 75 Dart with power brakes and 10 X 2.5 rear drums. With front suspension removed, noticed I had good access to distribution valve. Question, is there a direct replacement distribution valve with integral proportioning valve? If not is there a pre-fab conversion to place proportioning valve... Read more

    Non MDS Lifters

    By Coyote Jack

    So what is everybody using for non mds lifters that don't cost an arm and a leg? It would be a shame if I had to pay more for lifters than I did for a crank and rods. I guess the next question would be, are you happy with your choice and have you had any failures? Jack

    By Codybones

    Hello forum friends I have an 83/4” reared in my Dodge Dart currently and because of info I got on this forum I plan to leave it in the car when I install the new motor and trans, my question for everyone is is there something I should do to this rear end to freshen it up or is just cleaning it out and new fluid going to be good? Probably going to have around 475 hp and a 5 speed manual. Any feedback is muchly appreciated.
