The airleak at the booster grommet may not be 100% of your stalling. What's your idle-timing? If you run too much idle-timing, the throttle will be too far closed at idle, and the transfers will slow right down. Depending on your cam-size, the Transfers could even dry up. Then when you put it in...

I tried the Thompson first, but it couldn't keep up to my driving style. Next up was the Saginaw, which was the winner.

I have not seen BFGs with brown letters. In fact; the 235s on the front of my Barracuda are about 20 years old, and NOT brown. and the 295s on the back are pretty old too, and not brown either. The car is always parked outside, but usually in the shade. But, hey, I live in Canada up near the...

Seriously, indeed you are a FunnyOldMan. There doesn't seem to any rhyme nor reason to your plan. Or if there is, I'm too dense to see it.

@Scody21 mentioned the Clutch Tamer. For your driving style, that could save your trans.

Well, Caltracs!, that explains a lot. I have a GVod behind my Commando, that I use as a Splitter. I shift that at 7000, with a factory Heavy flywheel thru a CF diaphragm, into a 3.55 posi, into either 295BFGs or into 325/50 Drag-Radials. Into third, my road-gear is 6.92 versus your 6.38 I have...

@67_Slimer You did that on the street? With a Dart? With like 255 street tires? I wanna know more about your rear suspension! And yes, your clutch is way outtawhack for street, for how you drive it. Something is gonna have to change. But, Take a good look in your pile there for something...

OOPs I meant Brewers. I will edit

If your 340 has a true 12.5 Scr, it's gonna need a pretty late intake-closing event to get the pressure under 200psi. You cannot run that high with iron heads anywhere near sea-level, on pump gas. You're just fooling yourself talking about distributors and carbs. >In your case; Since the engine...

Yeah, Ima thinking technique. Here's something you can try . drive the car in first gear, up to a speed that makes 2500 rpm on the tach , look at the speedometer and make a mental note of the speed. I'm just guessing but say it 20 mph. Now, you will forever know that for zero speed difference...

Ok so with the car moving. I assume you know how synchronizers work, but humor me. The two FOUR working parts of the Synchronizers are; the Brass rings the Brake cones the three struts, and the Energizer springs. If any of those parts fail to do their jobs, You have problems, and a couple of...

Hang on boys we , or maybe just me, needs more information. To whit; You said; "So I parked my 68 Barracuda last fall but before I did, I was experiencing difficulty getting the transmission to shift back to first gear from 2nd gear." So I ask; 1) is this with the car moving? Now it's a...

Ok here is my opinion. 1) The 383 is a big-bore/short-stroke/high-rpm brawler. You already have everything it needs and wants. IMO, it would be a shame to stifle it with the logs. 2) If you can hear that it has a "fairly radical cam" in it, but you stifle it with log manifolds, then IMO you...

When I read the title, I came prepared with a string of smartazz comments. But now that I see , I decided you don't need me to ruin your day, lol. Happy HotRodding

Ok gotcha. I'm a Mechanic by trade. I build my own stuff and I do beat the chit out of it, then fix it when it breaks then beat the chit out of it some more, until something else breaks. I did that for five years and then finally got everything strong enough, that nothing after that broke any...
