Problem is that all the aftermarket higher stall converters seems to have 10 inch bolt pattern. Do you know , are there higher stall converters for sale for large bolt...

    Missing power 440?

    Yesterday I was working with the car. I managed to adjust the lifter preload around 1mm but it didn´t have any change in engine´s performance or ticking noise. I also installed new msd spark plug wires, because old procomp wires were quite bad. This didn´t have any change either. I also...

    Missing power 440?

    Today I checked the lifter preload and results were shocking!. Preload is 3mm (3/32inch) Thats double, that it should be! Thank you so much for you information about this preload issue, because I am quite angry for the local "mopar" professionals who does this job for living. They just told me...

    Missing power 440?

    Yesterday I managed to check the compression test. All the cylinders were between 11.8-11.9bar. (Altitude 330ft). I dont have leakdown gauges(Dual gauge), so this is not familiar to me. I will try to borrow these from somebody. I am sorry for my mistake. The shims that are in use now under...

    Missing power 440?

    Hi ! I got my car running with new 60303 Lunati voodoo cam last week. During the week I have been tuning carb and finding the right jets (Quickfuel 850 mechanical double pumper). At the moment it is working best with 75 primary mainjet and 84 secondary main jet. Little bit too rich at top end. I...

    68" a-body panel alignment from the factory?

    I have of course checked the hinges before alignment, so they are good I think that all the body panels I have been working with are little bit distorted. For example both doors are curving down after door handle mounting holes. I think I will try to find compromise between normal usage and...

    68" a-body panel alignment from the factory?

    Hi! Last july I bought really rusty 68" Dodge dart 2d post and I have done massive sheetmetal work with it. Finally all the welding is done and I have been aligning body panels and door gaps. The thing that I have been wondering is that how straight these cars were from the factory line...

    Edelbrock mid throttle problem

    Engine was tested before it was installed into car. All the recommended additivies was used and I have always used kendall 10w 60 oil with zinc additive, so this should not be the problem. Also after the engine was started the first time, we kept rpm around 2500pm for 20 minutes. Also the...

    Edelbrock mid throttle problem

    Hi! Sorry for my late reply for this issue! Problem is solved now and car is running really great!! I bought this quickfuel 850cfm annual douple pumper carb and after tuning it in dyno, car worked much better. But still something was missing. I earlier bought purple cam 280/280 with 0,474...
