    Random but violent front end vibration

    Ok i drove it to work the other day and got it to do it. With some extra eyes and steering wiggling we caught the geerbox moving a bit. I didn’t check that the first time i jacked it up. Then found a little play in draglink to pitman arm. Steering better. I took it down death wobble road...

    Random but violent front end vibration

    Thanks for the help guys. I guess i should have stated that all the suspension pieces are new. Tie rod s every joint. It does have the big upper ball joints. The alignment sounds very promising as I can’t find anything loose or worn. The steering wheel did vibrate. It definitely felt front end...

    New brakes, soft pedal, distribution blocks ?

    I went thru a similar sounding scenario on my demon. Was the plunger arm in the booster on mine. Couple turns out and it fixed a lot of nightmares. Thought i measured for that correctly but apparently i suck

    Paxtoned 416 won t fire with lid on when engine is cool

    Ok. So. The problem I believe is solved almost. The engine builder said he was having issues with the factory choke working properly due to the aluminum heads with no heat riser holes. He said he disconnected the rod at the carb. But the rod got wedged in all that linkage and was not...

    Paxtoned 416 won t fire with lid on when engine is cool

    Well it’s not an actual blow thru carb. Just a factory intake and carb. The norms box was set up just for the carb that’s on it so it would be kinda difficult to fit a different carb inside the box. The engine was run for a short while before the blower went on. The blower did make a minimal...

    Initially had a mechanical carter on it and it did the same thing. Went to a strong electric pump to get more fuel to it. The regulator is set at 12 psi right now. But I just got it on and plumbed so haven t fired it back up yet
