Looking for these specific pieces for my wheel. If anyone has it please PM me

I’ll be trying some things in the following weeks, tried timing it at around 16 degrees initial and around 36~ degrees total. Hard to tell if it likes it or not. Trying to chase a rough idle condition right now (most likely just carb tuning) The car refuses to idle smoothly, I have a hanging...

Thank you guys for all the feedback, I’ll try 14 and up. I’ll see what it likes. Just got the engine back into my car and trying to get all the fine tuning done.

I’ll try and run some compression tests tomorrow morning, it’s a fresh rebuild with less than 10 miles on it

hey all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with timing my new 408 Stroker motor. Here are the build details- 2001 magnum block- 408 Stroker with forged pistons, I-beams, crank (apprx. 10.5:1) Trickflow 190cc heads Harland sharp 1.6 ratio rockers Edelbrock rpm air gap intake (gasket matched)...

just purchased a Boss hog street bandit 2800-3200 stall 11inch converter for my 408 making 575ft/lbs. has anyone heard anything RECENTLY about boss hog? I know they had a bad rep previously. Just needed something for break in period and something quick to arrive so I can get my duster back on...

So what I ended up doing was dremeling the hardened steel tab to fit over my girdle stud. I replaced the arp washer with the tab, it was actually a perfect fit. Sat flush with the girdle and had no issues clearing. Here’s some pics

I have a new set of Morel Hydraulic roller lifters for small block mopars. These can be used without modification or oiling mods. Originally bought these for my 340 but ended up going with a magnum block instead. Here’s the link for them as well on Hughes website...

Would it be possible to make the tab on the pickup tube slightly longer to accommodate the size of the stud and replace the washer with this tab? They’re both about 2/10 of an inch. Calling my engine guy tomorrow to get more info

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has ran into this issue and if so, how they resolved it. I have a kevco m302 pan for my 408 Stroker motor with a Hughes engine main stud girdle. I can’t find a place to put the tab. I’ve read some on here that some people have cut it off but that kevco warns...

I honestly just put it on with little to no prep. Just clean the surface well. These pens specifically worked very well for me. These pens have a fine point and a medium point (like the average sized sharpie) I used the fine side to get the chrome rings around my bezel. 1. Make sure there’s...

That’s what I was worried about as well. I’ve used the lacquer chrome paint that you use in an airbrush for my previous dash and that even turned out to be more silver than chrome. These pens get a green light from me though. Definitely very convincing

More pics in the sunlight

I was worried that it wouldn’t come out good since a lot of chrome paint pens market themselves as chrome but it’s up coming out more or a silver color. And it was in a spot where it was easy enough to just wipe off with some paint thinner.
