I came across a comment posted on the web along the lines of the 727 having a lot of loaded thrust washers, hinting that maybe other transmissions (or modern transmissions) don't have that? One of the outcomes of that being that it's bad for oil (I guess causing oil shear, reducing oil life...

I'm getting happier about how this carb is working on my 318, cold start performance is pretty much tuned up but I still need to work on getting better early choke pull-off. This is a china clone of I think the Super-6 carb, which I think came out in '77. I might get more / better answers from...

This pertains to my '67 Monaco. Are you supposed to be able to move the gearshift lever back and forth from Park to Reverse to Neutral and back to Reverse and then back to Park all without pulling the lever towards you? If the lever is supposed to lock in any of those positions but it doesn't...

This pertains to a 1967 727. The lever shaft rotates through an arc, I'm eyeballing it at somewhere between 60 and 90 degrees. Some sort of internal spring keeps the resting position towards the front. As it's rotated CCW the resisting spring force increases. I note some slack or slop in the...

I've acquired a Felpro gasket set for the water pump and timing cover (this is a 318). I have the early timing cover so the water pump is the cast iron type. No instructions came with with it. A small tube of Felpro grey RTV came with it, but I presume this is for the small cork pieces at...

This post is about 2 fundamentally different things, feel free to comment on either one. About a year ago when I bought (the wrong) U-joints for my '67 Monaco (from rock auto), I also bought GMB 260-0266 strap kit (the 2 half-circle straps with bolts for connecting the rear U-joint to the...

I don't know if this is a year-thing, or Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth thing, or Canada vs US thing, but when looking at rockauto for ujoints for my '67 Canadian Monaco that came with poly 318, RA is listing ujoints with cap diameters of 1.063, 1.078, and 1.125 inches. A year+ ago when acquiring...

Just curious what these numbers code for: J2801542 4121348 260 - 5 Did I miss any others? This should code for a 727 from a Canadian 1967 Dodge Monaco (with poly 318).

I'm guessing that when the polysphere's got retired in 1966 (or a year later in Canada) that the LA blocks were also painted red? Even if a lot of C-bodys didn't get small blocks in '67, for those other A/B/E body cars that did, again I assume that the 318's were red? My rebuilt 318 (circa...

The 1965 Plymouth service manual is the only '65 manual I can find that shows frame dimensions. I compare the 1965 Fury diagram with 1967. Since Fury had slant-6 and V-8 options for both years, I'm comparing the V-8 diagrams only. The 1966 Chrysler and Monaco frame diagrams matches the...

I'd like to add a drain plug to my gas tank. My plan would be to buy this: It's brass. I would solder the flange to the bottom of the tank, then drill maybe a 1/4 inch hole in the center through the tank bottom, then use an appropriate rubber what-ever material, cut as a disk with the same...

Looking for a reality check. Did Chrysler ever make a dual-plane 2-barrel intake for the small block? Or more specifically, is 2468960 a single or dual plane intake?

This pertains to the small block, if it matters. If one cylinder is in TDC position on compression with valves closed, is there going to be another cylinder also with valves closed, maybe at the bottom of it's stroke?

I don't know if it matters if we're talking about a big-block or small block with the following stuff, but this pertains to my 318. We're talking here about points/condensor, not electronic ignition. Question 1: Is there a rule-of-thumb when it comes to plug wire resistance if we're talking...

To re-cap: 318 poly in my '67 Monaco was replaced in 1986 by reman LA318 bought from the same chrysler dealership where the car was originally bought from. I had to acquire oil pan, rocker covers, exhaust manifolds and possibly intake manifold, distributor and carb to complete this engine...

Back in '86 when I was restoring my dad's '67 Monaco (Canadian car with poly 318) we replaced the engine with a re-man engine from a local Chrysler dealer. I've only put about 10k miles on the car since then. At the time, my dad said the new engine gave the car more pep then he ever remembered...

I came across mention of the Cardone 843890 as a (drop-in?) replacement for the small block. Pretty good price. Does anyone have experience with this distributor? Possibly might have to go with electronic voltage regulator (recommendations for this?) for best results? My 318 seems to run...

I've been noticing over the past maybe 2 years that 10W30 oil is disappearing from the shelves. I was surprised to see some at Canadian Tire today, I picked up the last 3 jugs of Quaker State on "sale", $28 each (now the regular price is $41). $28 CAN is about $20/$21 USD. This is NOT...

When I swapped my '67 Monaco poly 318 (Canadian car eh?) with an unknown-year remanufactured 318 from a Chysler dealership (this was circa 1987) I picked up some aftermarket chrome covers (because the engine did not come with them, nor with an air cleaner or oil pan if I remember correctly). I...

Unless there's some trick about making enough room to get the old mount out and put the new one in, I'm stumped for now. I've removed the 2 bolts holding the mount to the trans, and the single nut holding the mount to the frame cross member, have jacked up the trans until it's making contact...
