    Why was there a motor-mount change from '65 to '66 ?

    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...

    Adding drain plug to gas tank

    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...

    Was there ever a small block / 318 dual plane 2-barrel factory intake?

    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?

    Can a leakdown test be made on 2 cylinders at the same time?

    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?

    Spark plug wires and ignition coil (specs / resistance)

    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...

    318 rough idle (20+ years in storage)

    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...

    Is 140 - 150 PSI good for a compression test of a 318 LA?

    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...

    Any thoughts on Cardone 843890 electronic distributor for 318? Coil checking?

    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...

    Is 10W30 oil hard to find where you are?

    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...

    Small block valve covers - did something change from 73 - 74?

    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...

    '67 Monaco, how to replace transmission mount, question about u-joints

    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...

    '67 Monaco master brake cylinder questions

    An observation I see on rockauto and any local parts supplier is that the base engine for the '67 Monaco is a 383 but my car (bought new by my dad) came with 318 polysphere (which I replaced later to an LA). Now, the engine shouldn't matter when it comes to the master brake cylinder- right...

    '67 Monaco rear differential fluid change (is there a drain plug?)

    I don't see a drain plug, at least looking from the back side. Haven't been all the way under to look from the front. Is there a drain plug? I'm assuming if I manage to drain it, that regular 90 weight gear oil is what it takes?

    318 engine identification (what year?)

    My 1967 Monaco (Canadian car) came with a 318 (which I understand was not offered in the US, it would have been a 383). This was my dad's car that I restored during the 1985 - 1989 time frame. I believe the original engine was a different block, possibly what was used in US cars in 1966 and...
