    Wow I REALLY like this shifter BUT...................................

    I really love the operation of the B&M pro ratchets. I have removed and given away every other brand shifter i have ever installed. my point (and you may already get it) is the B&M handles are just layered aluminum. you could cut out any shape you want, and layer them, and make it as big/fat...

    Wow I REALLY like this shifter BUT...................................

    You could pretty easily have someone laser or even band saw and polish a several layer thick handle for the b&m couldn't you? I have replaced the handle on the B&M shifters with the trans brake handle, and all it is, is several layers of .250 ish aluminum with some machine screws tapped and...

    Blue Print 408?

    The BluePrint 408's will take LA headers just fine. I have ran the BluePrint 408 myself with basic LA based headers. The intake that comes installed is a Magnum RPM airgap. We only use the actual edelbrock for HP reasons The BluePrint 408 can be had in everything from a longblock, to a...

    New Battery - Positive post too small?

    on simple old school clamps, it's pretty easy to just take material off and get a little more clamp / squeeze out of it. you can buy new ones, but you could probably knock .010-.020 off per side with a straight file, and safe yourself the hassle.

    New Battery - Positive post too small?

    I've seen this on late model cars too. had to put a battery in the wifes Hemi Charger and i could pull the terminal clamp off by hand. stacked tolerances apparently. Wasn't worth even driving back in town for something i could fix with a home made sleeve I whipped up in 2 minutes.

    New Battery - Positive post too small?

    Yup. Happened many times. Can remove a little material from the center of your terminal clamp so the clamp has more room to travel without bottoming out. Or find a little piece of copper plumbing scrap and fancy yourself a bushing to make the terminal a fatter OD. I have ran into this more...

    What plugs are You Running in Your 408 Strokers.

    We run the 7938 aka bkr5e plugs from your first post in approx 30,000 crate engines a year. They are a HUGE upgrade to the old 792 champions we ran in the past. If I was going to try something else, it would be bosch. But I have no reason to as the ngk's have been great. They are my favorite...

    Trailering your A-body

    Unrelated to your question, is this quaker city? I'm 10 mins from there. I mount these tie does where it makes sense in my enclosed trailer. Use a loop on the k member in the front, and I use axle straps on the rear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GRT3CM?tag=fabo03-20 I never liked e track...

    Thanks for tagging me @TT5.9mag Wow are we all over the place with this one. Nowhere in any of our instructions does it say to crank anything for 15 mins. The engine is an magnum weight 360 damper (which we sell if the engine didn't come with it) (only bases dont) and an LA 360 on the rear...
