Um..... Give it Elon Musk for one of his Teslas...stop them catching fire

The problem with a colder plug to 'add some spark' is the risk that the plug is too cold to burn off the tip deposits in cruise/idle mode. It then misfires....right when you want max spark energy. The object is to bring the tip temp to over 400* C & keep it there, where it self cleans; max temp...

Dan, If you can find a TQ.......just run it. I could never work out why a 440 with a TQ [ #6410 ] had .125" sec jets but a #6454 used on a 360 had .143"sec jets. Jet size is NOT related to engine size. If you use a TQ on a 318, you may have to change jet sizes &/or met rods. What you will...

Demon, Why do you think you may need a colder plug? When you have the correct heat range, do you know what the lower & higher temp limits are for for reliable spark delivery? I can think of a couple of reasons to go hotter, not colder.

QJ is a spreadbore like the TQ. Same bolt pattern. You need to check fitment to the intake to make sure all the passages in the carb base are covered & that linkages do not foul etc....

650 AVS2 or TQ.

Can we clone post #62? It's Newbomb Turk's modus operandi: if the article/description fits his theory of the world, it is 100% true. If it doesn't, then the article is a joke. We know who the joke is......

Best way to lift a slant 6? With Hulk Hogan & three of his friends......

The problem I see with plug reading is that the plug can see a variation in operating conditions throughout the rpm range, especially on street cars that are drag raced. How long [ in seconds ] does it take to 'colour' a plug? What good is it if the colour is 'right' after a WOT run, but the...

Was it Winston Churchill who said....... 'Never in the field of human conquest have good braking systems been replaced with no so good braking systems....

Hagerty did a you tube on adding headers to a 440, not that long ago. Mild Comp XE Cam, factory intake, factory TQ carb. I do not remember the exact amount of the HP increase, but it was substantial, with a big increase at lower rpms, good for the street.

I stopped reading at H....

This ^^^^. To help keep the epoxy in place, drill a couple of small holes at different angles next to the plug. heat. Warm the carb base & THEN apply the epoxy. It will flow into the holes & lock the epoxy insert in place.

Check out the friction coefficient of the brake pads. If you have 'race' type pads, they might not bite until they get really hot. Not good for street use.
