    Headers vs 340 manifolds

    Lol, this is so typical of the arguments I have with customers when quoting a build, it's all good till we get to the headers and the customer says he's done with headers, leaks, speed bumps, road hazards, etc. lol I tell them I dont build a big h/p engines to put in cars with stock exhaust...

    Headers vs 340 manifolds

    Read again, not "across the board", said "up to". When I install headers, I tune it as nec, make other changes learned thru experience. I have absolutely no idea what conditions their base was set. But after years and dozens of cars coming back saying they picked uptime, some 2, some 3, some4...

    Headers vs 340 manifolds

    Absolutely 100% wrong . I have had tooooo many customers come back with the biggest **** faced grins after their first drive with headers. They certainly noticed, not just one, or a few, - - dozens. Then they go to the strip and open them up and gain up to 5/10ths, or can't get traction . Any...

    Trunion and ball

    When you take the end "shoes" off the pin, there may be a number of selective shim washers each side, keep track of where they go. Thats how the trunion is centered. The pin may not be centered, thats where the shims come in. P.S. They ran Ball and Trunion behind Max Wedges too Good luck

    Headers vs 340 manifolds

    4 bbl, 3/4 race cam, 4:11 gears and headers . Headers have long been the most cost effective way to gain horsepower. When headers became popular, advertising would have you believe 10 - 15 % (%) h/p gain, 10% with exhaust hooked up, 15% with them opened up. iirc.

    Looking for recommendations for Cuba Resort

    Look into Tortola, or any British Virgin Islands. Spent a lotta time there in the 80s sailing, sunning, and you should find some fishing too. Can't speak for today, but it was really laid back, taxi guy brought my brother-inlaws wallet to him, thru about four other folks. He left it in a bar one...

    Odd shifter problem, need advice

    We're it mine, I'd make sure carpet or something wasn't restricting pedal travel. Then I'd adjust the he clutch so throw out bearing is touching clutch fingers ( to be properly adjusted later ), to get as much disc/pp departure distance at max. The grind is mismatched shaft speed which syncros...

    TTI Header “ break in “ thoughts

    It would also be prudent to use a carb known good, off a car that runs really good, as opposed to one you picked up at a swap meet, and/or sat on a shelf for years, "just for this engine build". A lean carb either side, may cause unwanted heat .

    I think the idea of SMRs (small modular reactors) is exciting for the future generations. Sam Altman is a "visionary" in the field of A.I., and the realization of the need for energy without stringing wires everywhere, we prob all saw when they brought out EVs, but he's likely going to be...

    Not so sure it'll come down much, cuz of huge demand, no supply. The economy is Soo good, there is talk of delaying any further rates reductions . The rates need to come down, imho, to help folks get mortgages. I can't help wondering why. My first mortgage was 9% in 1969ish, next one in 1972...

    Turn signals not flashing

    Supplying a known good ground is the first step in a process of elimination. Being an aftermarket wiring harness, there's a lotta variables, including who installed it. By your description of both elements on dim is a very common no ground symptom. Your dash indicator lites should be on dim as well.

    New noise from a new engine

    Plug the exhaust to create back-pressure, hold cloths over the tailpipes, apply pressure, listen for leaks, - not rocket science.

    New noise from a new engine

    To check for exhaust leaks, stuff the tailpipe with shop-cloths, and have someone wearing gloves hold the cloths in ( as best possible ) while you start and run the engine. Quickly walk one side of vehicle to other, exhaust leaks will be very evident, and those tailpipe cloths will be getting...

    I take mine to an industrial hydraulic hose maker. They make/repair hoses fo bulldozers, tractors etc. Eastman? iirc Take it in one piece so they can get all the bends and angles correct.

    Unbalanced brakes

    I'd be checking to see if the front calipers are seized. The plastic piston calipers have a chronic problem seizing. Pry the piston/pads away from disc, if it'll move, then pump to see if it'll re-apply . Process of elimination, prove caliper not seized, and m/c operation. Good luck .
