about to install Petronix distributor and Flamethrower coil on my 67 Satellite 318 My understanding is: -disconnect ballast and jumper those wires -disconnect orange box, but not sure if i just leave unconnected or have to jumper wires for that thanks

@AJ/FormS , video doesn't tell whole story. Yes, kinda looks normal, and does have alot of condensation at startup until it gets hot but when getting on it on highway...it smokes enough, people get out from behind me. I can drive normal speeds and not really see any smoke. This has been...

@AJ/FormS , i thought you were on to something with the PCV. There was some oil on the valve and at end of hose at carb which goes into the center port on my 1406 Edelbrock. I disconnected the valve and ran it out on the highway with no change. Still leaving a decent cloud on hard excel. I'm...

to answer above: 1. builder assembled with .30 over rings. Compression is good. 2. running a FRam PCV FV191 valve on drivers side, ported to carb. Valve covers have baffles. 3. diff. valve heights resulted in diff. push rod lengths in some cases with adj. rockers as well to get .020 preload...

so...rebuilt 76 block, bored .30 over, whiplash cam. Heads were done by a separate builder and had stem height issues that i sorted out with a few diff length pushrods and adjustable rockers. Since day one, i've had smoke on left bank exhaust. Also get a cloud on hard accel/decel. Compression...

@Dana67Dart , @67Dart273 , car has no additional accessories. Stock headlights. (added crackedback headlight/relay wiring) and 60amp ALT. -bulkhead connectors where examined, cleaned and di-electric grease added. -will run bypass from ALT to Starter relay (8GA with 12Ga fusible link) to reduce...

I decided I wanted to do the easier ammeter bypass in my 67 Sat by bolting together the feeds and taping up really good. My question is would you expect them to get warm? Roughly, 100degs? I would expect due to resistance in the system, some heat is expected, but it surely is not enough to melt...

used air into cylinder. Just to be clear the Blue Posi-stop seals are what was on there. I switched to Viton umbrella seals..just didn't take a pic after.

so we ran a boroscope on all cyl. on drivers side and saw what look like small drips on cyl #5 piston. Swapped out int/exh. seals. Don't see smoke on the road but tapping the pedal after idleing and get a little puff on this side. Going to change all seals on this side this wknd.

ordered Vitron seals. We're going to use an endoscope today or tomorrow and look inside. Seals are pretty quick but not saying it couldn't be intake gasket. Plugs are good and no smoke on hard accel. Head work was rebuild only. Cast iron rings.

the issue seems to be valve seals. The head rebuilder was questionable. Stem heights were all over the place and I've had slight smoke from drivers side from the get go. We took video running out to the highway and letting off and its evident its smoking on decel and after loading up at stops...

MOPAR black valve covers. I think the baffles are small, like this example. I was reading a thread about that. If hose is oily....I should make bigger baffles?

i know I checked them once and found some loose....I'll check again.

compression test checked out. All cyl. btwn 135-145. Plugs look good. I could go out and get a leak gauge set..might be quickest diagnosis. From what I read.. no more than 20% leakdown is acceptable..air @ intake=int. valve, @exh=exh. valve, @ dipstick=rings, @radi=head gskt. The other thing is...
