Hey folks, looking to learn a bit about what others have been doing for a quality oil pressure switch. I replaced it at the beginning of the season and at some point over the last few weeks it stopped closing, keeping the light off at all times. This was a Standard Motor Product switch. I...

Looking for some input from those who have done it. I ordered a set of Clevite 77 MS-2233HG bearings and according to 440Source these fit any year RB block. When I compare these to the main bearings I removed, these are more narrow. I read that narrow bearings are often used with aftermarket...

Hey folks, waiting for parts to get the motor back together so I decided to tackle the pinion seal leak. I have the 742 case and a few things I need clarity on. For the 742 case, is it true it should have a solid spacer with shims for the pinion and as such I should be able to replace the...

Wanted to share details of how I fixed my belt squeal on my '68 300 440. The squeak started when I decided to replace the crank pulley which was pretty bent and had a lot of wobble. It was also a three valley pulley which didn't make sense being a Non-AC car so I decided to replace it with a...

Looking for some help to troubleshoot a potential issue. 1968 Chrysler 300 440 with mechanical pump, clear plastic fuel filter. New tank and sending unit. Edelbrock 1406 Carb. When the car is started cold, the fuel filter fills up 80-90% with fuel and the car fires up almost immediately...

Fellow enthusiasts, looking for input from those who have done it before. I have been driving my 300 for probably a hundred or so miles now, just local back road running. I am very happy how well it runs and very surprised how much gas it burns cause I can't stay out of the secondaries! What...

Happy Friday folks! Looking to fix the wobble in my crankshaft pulley. And since it looks like the wrong pulley I thought I would replace it instead of repair it. Seemed easy enough until I started researching pulleys. As you can see the pulley has three grooves but my car only needs two...

I have a bit of a useless question. If you were to put a naked 318 and a 340 next to each other, would you be able to tell the difference without looking at the stamping? Just the block, completely stripped down. I know internally the difference is in the bore size. Stroke is the same. Like...

I was moving along fine on my 340 tear down and am stuck on the cam gear for the timing chain. I bought the book "How to rebuild a small-block Mopar" and it is great! In the disassembly process it says "To remove the timing chain, first remove the bolt located in the center of the camshaft...

I think I have a bit of a ping under load and think its timing related. Seems to be running a bit hotter since I put the new distributor in. I checked timing and it is exactly 10 BTDC. Do I need to compensate for an old timing chain to get rid of the ping? Thanks!

My '68 Fury w/318 started having rough idle issues about a month or so ago. It had a leak in the front of the intake manifold and a vacuum leak in the carburetor gasket. I got the intake manifold gasket replaced and finally yesterday got the carb back on the car after rebuilding it with a kit...

Looking for some expert advice. I bought a 340 over the weekend and it is seized, according to the seller, from sitting for 20 years. I have no intention of trying to get it to run as it sits, I simply want to tear it down and take it to the machine shop. What is the best way to get things...

As I continue to plan (and replan) I have decided to start looking for a 360 to swap into my '68 Fury. Knowing most of you also suggest a 360 for towing this makes the most sense for me. I will pull the original 318 and put it off to the side just in case. I have been doing my research and do...

Any tips on replacing the intake manifold gasket on a 1968 fury 318? Starting to pull things apart tomorrow and any tips from the experts about the process would be appreciated greatly! I have the FSM and feel it is a fairly simple process but experience always makes things go smoother. I...

Alright guys, as I ponder my goals for the Fury, I was hoping some of you would be able to tell me what appears correct, and more importantly, incorrect, under the hood. '68 Fury III Convertible w/318 and no A/C. Aside from the 20oz coca cola bottle as a coolant overflow zip tied in which you...
