    Carburetor for 1978 Chrysler New Yorker with 400 engine

    lean burn carbs are lean burn carbs. I'm sure there is a member here that can guide you on getting it rebuilt. Lean Burn is not your friend. It'll be an up hill battle to the end.

    Is this normal cam wear?

    The lifter spins in its bore as it moves up and down. the wear looks normal as stated above. If the lifter was stuck, you'd see a square "kinda" shaped wipe on the bottom. then you have a big problem.

    Questions on timing chain and oil slinger

    While looking for PNs for Cloyes timing sets they list both single and three bolt cam gears. I noticed that his is a single. I have been buying parts to do this job as well, just not the timing set yet. Did Chrysler make two different cam gears for a 75 400 or is the three bolt cam just aftermarket?

    question on harmonic balancer

    I just replaced the one on my Camry yesterday. 25 yrs old, 216,000 on the clock. Was it age or mileage? The one on my 75 Dodge looks great, 49 yrs old and 48,000 miles you be the judge.

    Question on crank bolt torque

    If the engine is still in your car, put the socket and the bar on the bolt. Hit the key, the starter will bust it loose in half a second.

    Want to add power steering to my C body

    Pumps and boxes should be relatively easy, but brackets, hoses and linkage are a different story. This world of cars, you must have a factory service manual (FSM) and a parts book. Nearly everything needs to be searched by part number. I would wager that none of the brackets and hoses fit any...

    Problem solved! Since the mishap the other night I hadn't driven the car until yesterday. No issues. I don't mean I drove it to get ice cream, I DROVE it. I tore down I 81 here in Roanoke at 80 plus miles an hour, I made several stops before spending an evening at church with friends. I decided...

I went inside my work and grabbed some starting fluid and and shot it into the carb and boom. She started right up and...

    How is your choke wired?????

    Well, the choke is working fine then. But this car hates starting after it's been run up to operating temp. Never had the issue before on other cars. I have the same carb on my El Camino, it's a very built big block. It starts right up. It's quite frustrating.

    How is your choke wired?????

    Morning all, Shortly after I purchased my 75 Royal I swapped the 2245 2 bbl for an Edlebrock AVS 2. When I hooked up the electric choke I bypassed the choke control switch. It's never really started well when it's hot since. I have to feather the throttle when it's hot to keep it going till...

    Terrible gas mileage on mopar 318. 5MPG!?!?!?!?

    Leaking fuel from the feed line at the tank?

    318 rebuild

    My question would be if your pushrods and/or rockers will allow for the new height of your cam. They aren't adjustable. If the cam is too tall for the rest of the valve train, you're going to be buying more new parts. Also, a new oil pump won't hurt. They are cheap too.

    Has anyone used an aftermarket sure-grip?

    sellers on ebay must adhere to their policy. 30 day returns. It's up to the supplier if they want to go out further than that. If you pull the trigger, run the hell out of the car the first few weeks. If it fails, return it. If not, you're probably good.

    Vacuum leak only when engine is “cold”?

    I use a Weiand intake on my Dodge 400. The felpro intake set came with the paper inserts. It leaked like a sieve. I pulled the bolts and slid the inserts in place. No more leak. Put the inserts in and go from there
