Does the oil pump drive shaft with gear just drop into place? What keeps it there?

My last rock purchase I browsed through the closeout list and for a few bucks each I bought: Differential Pinion Bearing / Race SM88010 (this is just the race) Differential Pinion Bearing / Race WTHM89443 (this is a bearing without race) This is for 8.75. I'm looking at them today, the...

First time on the hiway today after complete front stub / front suspension R&R. And the car didn't fly apart or crash! I must have put most of the bolts and nuts back where they should be. The last time I drove this car at 60+ MPH was probably in 1999. It was at Carlisle in 1997 ! Today I'm...

I have a clone BBD which is probably based on 1977+ design. On the back side of the throttle plate are 2 large ports - one goes to PVC, the other is capped (I'm told this capped port might be for brake booster on later cars, mine comes from a port on the intake manifold). In between these 2...

This was posted recently to FB. Someone with a 68 Sport Fury, wondering if this is a 2 piece driveshaft with a rubber bushing connecting them. Were they really made like this? My '67 Monaco has nothing like this (the photo is at the differential end). He's asking "If I have a new 1 piece...

Follow along as mechanic extraordinaire, Davin Reckow, pulls the aluminum-block 6-cylinder engine from a barn find 1960's Dodge Lancer wagon, tear it down, and then decide NOPE, this isn't going to handle the power! So we found an iron-block version from a local junkyard to use instead. A good...

Asking this on behalf of a guy in Germany with a '65 Monaco with 383 and a rebuilt 727. He seems to have to over-rev the engine to get any forward / reverse motion - "but I need more power on the gas". Fluid level is ok, using Dexron 4. He's looked at this...

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?
