I set the timing when I first fired the engine back in May, never touched it and it's stayed the same no matter what the neutral engine speed has been, had it as low at 700 rpm about a month ago chasing this same stalling issue. I'm 95% sure that it is not fuel or timing and that it is the...

There's no vacum leak. Only thing I have hook up for vacum is the brake booster and spraying starting fluid around the carb base flange, spacer, and intake/head flanges yielded no change in the engine. It just kept humming along at idle. What would be an "acceptable" drop in RPM in your...

Timing does not drop when it goes in gear. That stays the same. I'd like to get it to idle at 850-900 in neutral and 750-800 in gear. One reason I have it up as high as I do is that if I hold the throttle to 1300ish RPM in gear when it starts to stall it won't stall. Would the stall speed of...

Dodge Freak, you think that my problem is a result of the stall speed being too low? 3000 seems kind of high, I was thinking I needed closer to 2500. The car is a street car, going to be a daily driver eventually. Is there a chart or something I can look at to determine the stall speed I need...

Well, I tried a few things and here are the results: Vacuum at idle = 15 inHg Vacuum in gear = 10 inHg Timing = 14 Degrees advance initial, 34 degrees advance total (@ 3000 rpm) - Dead nuts on what the booklet that came with the crate engine says it should be. Fuel pressure was steady at 5psi...

Most of my experience with 4 speeds is stalling them haha, and it feels similar, but not quite the same. I wish I had video of this happening from the driver's seat. I think that'd help a bit.

Most the time it stalls as I am coming to a stop. Doesn't feel like it's pushing me forward at all. I had the revs up thinking that it was too low, but left it alone after fixing some fueling issues. It stumbles a little in reverse, which is also why I think the converter may be an issue. It...

70408, when you say that it would not idle in gear at all, is that when you first put in in gear or after driving around for a bit? I'm thinking it's the lockup that's my problem and not the stall speed because I can tell when the lockup happens, it's like an extra little shift, and the...

Jerry6, Timing is at 14 initial and 32 total advance. Vacum advance is not hooked up. All as per the booklet that came with the crate engine says. Hawaii, I never thought the ecu would do it, but I am running the Orange box. Will check that out. Thanks guys.

Just looked it up. Stall speed should be 2100 on it. Here are the specs on my cam: 474 Intake / .474 Exhaust & 238 Intake / 238 Exhaust duration @ .050 - 110 degree lobe separation Would the lockup input shaft work with a non-lockup converter? I do have a non-lockup input shaft I could use if...

I have no clue what my stall speed is. It's supposedly a stock 360 lock-up converter that the guy who built my trans picked up and put in. I'm thinking that was a big mistake on my end, letting him do that and just plain going to lockup to begin with. And of course he's not answering his phone...

I've been chasing a problem with my engine stalling in gear once it gets hot ever since I got it running, and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to possibly fix this thing. Engine is a 408 small block, 670cfm holley carb with a 1/2" phenolic spacer. Trans is a 727...

I'm going to be pulling my axle shafts out in the near future to do a disc conversion on my car, and remember that pulling the axles out of my old 7&1/4 rear was a pain in the butt using the slide hammer. The axles I'm pulling are in an 8&3/4 housing, and have about 100 miles on the bearings, so...

awesome, let me try with the bracket I've got and I'll let you know tomorow if I need anything. thanks!

I'm working on a Slant 6/904 to 360/727 swap in my '73 Duster, and have all the appropriate linkages and brackets and such, save for one. I did not save the Torque Control Bracket from the 904 to use on the 727, however I do have one from a '70 challenger 727 that had column shift, that I think...
