    5.9 magnum cam

    Usually a cam with LSA of 114 will help a lot with EFI.

    Overflow tank keeps filling up with water

    I also have a Suzuki Esteem with a bad HG or cracked head. If I remove the rad cap and start the car up, the coolant will come out like a geyser. The coolant also has a strong gas smell. I didn't have any coolant leak externally, no white smoke from the tailpipe and no water in my oil. You can...

    Hooker aero mufflers 3/12

    I have aero chamber mufflers that dump before the diff, with a 2 1/2 X pipe. They are a bit loud, especially inside the car (putting some tailpipes on this winter), but it's really not that bad. I never got pulled over, but I was going smooth on the gas crossing a police car... My GF told me she...

    Another Oil Pressure Question...sorry

    I had the same issue on my 360 magnum. You can try a new oil pump, maybe a high volume one would help a bit (I gained around 5 psi when hot) and thicker oil, but I bet your bearings are worn out. It took 200 miles before I spun a rod bearing... I was lucky it didn't get more damage

    Use or don't use vacuum advance on distributor???????????????????

    I think I will try the manifold vacuum on my 360 magnum. I played a bit with timing, I se it about 15-17 idle and 34-36 with the mechanical advance. At idle, the engine is a little rough with the vacuum advance connected to the spark vacuum and seemed to run smoother with the timing advanced...

    OEM magnum lifters setup

    Yes I know pedestal type rockers should be tightened all the way down, but I backed it up to loosen the pushrod, tightened it to 21 ft lbs and it took about half a turn when I got it torqued and pushrod stopped turning at the same time. I think the stock pushrod must be a bit too short, maybe...

    Need help degreeing a cam

    If I use the 4* retard keyway on the crank, wouldn't that bring me to 111.5*? It would have the same effect has using the offset cam key. I think I will try both to see which method brings me closer to 110 (there might be a slight difference because of manufacturing...) Is 107.5* too advanced...

    Need help degreeing a cam

    I degreed in my cam a couple weeks ago and found the intake centerline at 107.5 degrees instead of 110, so I ordered a 2* offset cam key from mr.gasket (987g) to bring it closer to 110 ICL. Since 2* at the cam = 4* at the crank, is this offset cam key bring me to 111.5 ICL or will it move it a...

    360 magnum valve train

    I have a street avenger 670 on my 97 magnum. Power off the line greatly improved going from a street avenger 770.

    Lets hear what questionable methods you've used to save money

    My slant six throttle cable broke 50 miles from home. I had no tools with me and didn't want to pay for a tow truck so I removed the spring on the idle screw and cranked it up all the way in, started the car (revved to 4000 rpm) and dropped it in gear. I was able to go 45 mph on the highway...

    Magnum Intake

    I have the Crosswind intake on my 360 magnum. One problem I encoutered is the thermostat hole is too big for a stock thermostat. I finally found a subaru thermostat that would fit. The fitting for the bypass is at a 45 degrees angle, which sucks to install the hose. The edelbrock is straight as...

    T56 magnum install 69 Cuda

    I have a Viper T56 in my 68 dart. I used a transdapt crossmember bolted between the frame connectors. The tranny mount and the shifter are further back on the viper t56, but it still fits with my bench seat. For the torsion bar crossmember, I made a new one using bent tubes cut in half and...
