Re: Silly Question? Should me 68 D100 have a vented fuel cap

I bought some cork material from mcmaster carr, and I cut little circles, and no more gas cap leaks on any of my vehicles while turning, and it was cheap. Plus all my gas caps are tight fitting now. it came in a roll, and there was a certain kind that was for fuel .

Re: Looking for pictures of army / navy / goverment trucks

Yup, ha ha. I does say 200 on the grille, but its a half ton shorty. I have another one that has military nomenclature on the door, but I forget what it all says.

Re: 64 Dodge Polara hemi swap

The bracket looks like a elec ign brackect that bolted to the back of the engine on a motor home actually, not like the bracket that bolts onto the firewall of cars. I got one of those somewhere too.

Re: But is it a good engine? We'll soon find out.

Those are off a 76 ish 318.
Easy way is to just look at the balancer, if it has an extra notch hanging off the balancer, it is a 360, smooth all the way around, 318.
Newer 360's have an indentation in the balancer that is half moon shaped.

It has a bracket that goes around the centering pin on the firewall that catches the hood in the down position. Since it is a 74, it had ...

I am constantly getting people there that think I have parts for a 85 ramcharger stashed away that I am willing to sell, drives me nuts. One guy w...
