10×30 or 10w40

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
my 360 has maybe 1000 miles since rebuild,and working great.Winter is coming and do plan on firing her up and go for small rips if the roads are dry and salt free.I always run 10 w30,but engine builder says run 10w40 is that good for the winter.Thanks in advance.

B&M star shifter cable problim

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
Ok had this kind of shifter for years never a problim.Set it up the way B&M says.After I broke in my 360 the cable seams shot.This shifter is like new cable is too long and not near my headers.Now I cant get it into gears right.I tryed adjusting it but still no good.For example,if I drop it in low at the tranny leaver with no cable on it,install the cable shift into park it wont go not enough travell .Even at the cable adjustment were the 2 nuts are there are no more threads to move it forward.also the swivel is as far forward as it can go .In the beginning the cable with the 2 nuts was centered from what I remember doing it.Any thoughts

360 not going in yet

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
Sorry to rant guys.Engine back from shop.I installed the heads,intake water pump, rockers,got out my priming rod got 60 psi all rockers got oil.Well whats dripping on the floor OIL dam oil pan has a hole in it.So I ordered a new one took 3 days great but the dam stupid parts guy got me one for a 360 truck.I said to him 3 times ask for a pan from a 74 360 duster it will work in my 69 Dart.So now there is not one in Canada no were.But one is on order from the U.S. 5 to ten days befor it gets here.So in short this 360 is not going in yet.I could weld it but no thanks,what if anouther pin hole pops up no no no new pan.:rolleyes:. In over 35 years this is the first car that has given me so much problims.
