Cool. Thanks for the information.

Do you have any tire to frame rub with the fast ratio setup, or does the new steer box prevent that problem? Also, are you happy with the stage 3 steering, does it seem stiff?

Ok, so after reading that, would it be a more simple plan to just go with a fast ratio steer box with internal stops?

Great write up Vaanth! Other than Firm Feel, I have not been successful finding a large sector unit (and matching idler arm) for my 73 Challenger. Bergman auto is currently working to see if they can find the right parts.

Hello. I'm searching for a fast ratio pitman arm/idler for my '73 Challenger but finding compatiblity conflicts during my search. I seeing listings for the arm up to the year of 1972. Did something change with the arms starting in 1973? Here's a photo of my setup.

Looking for 1 Acorn center cap in excellent condition with no chrome-loss issues, a nice pointy center section. Non-center pop out / Big bolt pattern. thanks!

Set of two. $35.00 plus shipping to your address/zip code. Acorn center caps / Big Bolt Pattern 4 1/2". Chrysler #3699312. Will require oversize screws for mounting. See photos for condition.

Great information. Would these covers be backward compatible as long as you used the matching damper? Let's say, the 78-91 cover placed on a 1969 block?

A callout to mopar 340 folks. I'm looking to start from a scratch build for a 1969 casting. Would anyone have information on how the timing cover markings changed from the passenger-side, and then later to the driver side of the engine on the final production of the 340's? What year did this...

Would this adjustment be for lifter preload? Or perhaps this is a solid lifter configuration making the adjustment for the valves?

A callout to mopar rocker folks. As I continue to learn more about my (new/old) dodge, I removed the valve covers and was surprised to see something other than a stock rocker setup. Would anyone know what this sort of adjustable system could be?

Thank you. This information is very helpful. I've closed up that space a bit on the limiter and I'm sure I'll be back inside again anyway to replace those rusty springs. I've been looking at spring kit Mr. Gasket 925B, but some reviews state they are a bit on the light side, and bring the timing...

Thanks for the info. I'm going to close those limiter plates up a little bit so I don't have any surprises. The canister appears to have 13 turns of adjustment. I'll set it in the middle and see how she runs.

Would anyone know what benefit the canister could provide?

Thank you for the information. I also have a new adjustable vacuum canister that is for this distributor, it is stamped 11R. Does that mean it has 11 turns of adjustment to it? Would you have any recommendations for the initial setting for this canister?
