    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?

    400 vs 440 in a 76-78 New Yorker - noticeable difference?

    Well, my 75 was born with a 400-2. Though it never seemed down on power at 185, I wanted a 4 bbl. So that's what I did. New intake and carb.

    65 New Yorker, first project car

    Simple stuff first. It doesn't matter how good or bad it runs and drives. But, you have to stop. Youtube is full awash with channels of folks doing brake "rebuilds" before they do anything major. Start there, get your feet wet with that and the rest will follow. FSMs are great but they were...

    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.
