    Magnum in 70 Dart, can't keep it cool.

    The air in your block could still be a problem. You have to make sure that the hose going to the top of the radiator will not hold air pockets. I use the same type of hose ad it worked great once it was going up hill the whole way to the radiator. I also put three small industrial 12V fans over...

    904 torque converter questions

    Did you lock-tite the bolts? I miss that before. They only back out so far and make a lot of noise. So probably not that. Maybe starting with a new flex plate. Just a cheap place to start if you have the trans out. They don't cost much and if you think about what they do and the strain that is...

    Call Turbo-Action. They know their business. Very helpful and will not sell you something you don't need.

    Exhaust Backfiring

    Yes plugs and the four corner idle not setup right had me making adjustments to the carb that would make it run but not well. Thank you. I also did go over all the exhaust points and re-seal them. It got rid of some small leaks that didn't make much noise. The exhaust on this Barracuda hangs...

    Exhaust Backfiring

    It was the spark plugs. They didn't look bad but were trashed and I did it by gapping them. They were titanium. I knew tgey came pre gaped but didn't know that changing them ruined them. I gapped them at least three times.

    Exhaust Backfiring

    Here is what fixed it for me. Changed my spark plug's back to copper NKG's. Gaped st .40" . Have Silver ones on back order. Had NKG G-Powet Platinum 7090's in. I made the mistake of gaping them. If you buy the don't touch the just put them in and hope for the best. Found YouTube videos as why...

    Exhaust Backfiring

    Turned out to have been the spark plugs were trashed. Went back to copper NKG's and 95% of the popping Wass gone. I found more will post it all at the end of this thread.

    Sad video too see..Closed Dragstrip

    You are right. I had a house in a naobghhood tgat rapped around a huge farm and people moved in and bitched about the combines harvesting at night. But the farm was owned by the Gilmore family. Lots and lots of money. Jim Gilmore sponsored AJ Foit Indy car that won back in the early 70's. But...

    Exhaust Backfiring

    I did tighten up the advance. Would have to look at my notes. But the bushing in the distributor that should have been 21° was 24°. Changed to a black bushing that should have been 18 but is 20° that but left the springs that have been in it the car for 15 years. It ran great for a time. Don't...

    Sad video too see..Closed Dragstrip

    Was too noisy? It is just big money doing a land grab. They are doing it here in Michigan too. All Republicans on the local board support it. It is out in the country so they have the majority and are calling it progresses. Look for the money trail.

    The real problem is just like live music, the public just doesn't give a **** to come and spend a day or evening watching. Then you have wealthy people that don't like the Noise or want the land. They then push local governments to close them. This happens time and time again. Good but sad video.

    Have had my 904 for over thirty years. Get your rebuild kit from A&A trans just south of Indy. 317-831-3066. Get the sprag kit and a few other of there custom mad parts and you can have a lighter, smaller trans that will take anything that 360 will hand out as long as you keep the oil cool. Have...
