I set mine at ambient temp of ~70*F. That way I can take all day, it don't matter if I a take lunch break in between. The magic numbers for me have always been .013 and .023 Too tight on the exhaust usually makes mine run funny. Like herky-jerky, but, Mine is 9.5Scr with a bit of a cam, lol.

In my 55 years of street driving, I've had quite a few cars with 7.25s/and autos and have never even hurt one of them. One of them even had a high-pressure, 340-2bbl with headers. Now transmissions, those I have blown up.

...need to be on the same imaginary transverse line that runs from one side of the car, thru the centers of both inner pivots, to the other side, at 90* to the centerline of the car, and > the center of each LBJ needs to be equidistant from the centerline of the car, > and the center of both...

I switched from a 150 speed-O to a 120, just to get the better graduations. I used the same transmission Speed-O gear. However, I have seen cables be a problem in the transmission of the "signal".

Hi, back, nice car. I got my Driver's license in 69. My Second Mopar was a 65 V100 station wagon. and, I have had a 64 Barracuda, as well; as numerous other 67>80, A and F cars. I bet in the past 50 years, I have seen about every problem that could possible "pop up", in those cars. IDK if I...

...Ford Pick-up truck; while the fan is a big 7-blade, also pirated off that 73Dart. This system is adequate enough that I can run a minimum 207* cooling system temperature, and; it is adequate enough to occasionally run an idle-timing as low as 5* advanced, which allows for parading at 3.5...

I've never seen a plastic one, not that I've taken that many cars apart, lol

What parts are gold-plated?

With the engine not running, that is normal. Start it up and test it again. You can Modify that box to make it better but, you cannot eliminate it, because the boost control valve needs some rotation to activate the Power-Piston.

Internet, TV, and landline; $165C per month. Yeah I'm retired too, and I feel it; so, I farm out my skills, for eggs, milk, and bread. I don't smoke nor drink, and my hotrod is parked, so, we're getting by.

...to them, as would running less lift than at least what the Edelbrock springs are capable of. As to the 718001 cam; Installed with an Ica of 68* the V/P ratio is predicted to be 126, about the same as a 5.2 Magnum, which is what it's gonna feel like under say 3000.rpm, so, yur gonna need to...

@Newbomb Turk Is that a race car then? or a two-cylinder? or a 6000 pound barge? I ran that 15/1 for a few weeks and couldn't stand it. A decent hi-pressure 360 like mine hardly cares anywhere between 9 to 11. I prefer a 10/1 cuz I don't have to shift 2 car-lengths out, in town. I actually ran...

...the spool mount at the back. Initially, I used the Mopar starter, but when it died, I switched to the Dakota ministarter. and I do not use the 90* filter adapter, opting for a short filter instead. But ya gotta know, to get the driver's side in the first time, dropped the steering, took the...

Even the Mopar 3.09 is a bit much for anything over 3.55s, unless you have an engine with a really sucked out bottom end. I mean I really enjoy my 11/1 starter gear because with 185psi CCP, it's a dump-it-and-go deal; but really, it's way more starter than I need. On the other hand, a 4/1 low...

Just so you know; the stock 5.9 has more than enough grunt to run any A833 4-speed, with any rear gear, in any A-body; and there are 4 SBM ratios to chose from. ...... and they fit like a glove ...... and on the street, they scoff at 450 ftlbs...

...thru to a groove on the od of those white plastic ball receivers. The installed Z-bar should be parallel to the ground in rear view; and at about 90* to the centerline of the car, as viewed from the top. If you have headers, make sure they don't rub on the clutch business, even when torqued...

Which Edlebrocks; the open chamber 340 heads; or?

I'm only 71, and my HO 367 is stone-axe reliable, goes 93 in the Eighth. It is now old and tired and rusty as heck, so I don't drive it much anymore. However, I would still not be afraid to drive it anywhere as I have in the past. It was built in 1999, and all bugged out by 2004, and now only...

My engine has a 276/286/110 cam and hydraulic lifters, and was initially set-up at 1/4 turn preload. This quickly proved to be inadequate, as soon after break-in it began to tick. I reset the preload to 1/2 a turn. And so it was quiet for a long time. Eventually, I got the idea that if I ran...

8* of stretch is not gonna make it run funny, but the 8* of timing change will!, lol

Just saying My 68 Barracuda has the KH 4-pistont calipers and rotors, that I pirated from a 70 Duster. I swapped the Dual Diaphragm out for a 73>75 Single, I think it camo from an F-body. The M/C was pulled from a mid 70s car. The Combination valve was pulled from a box of used stuff I had...

Nice cam specs, I ran something like that in my 11.3/1 alloy-headed 367, and I absolutely loved it. I was very sad when it dropped lobes.

...rock, then measure the two together with a caliper, on each end which should be the same no matter how I measure them. Then I rotate one pad 180* and remeasure. Next I make sure the pads sit correctly in the brackets, and if the brackets have groves, I fix them. Next, I prove whatever...

How much are TTIs now? or Dougs? compared to a nice set of 340 iron logs? You're paying a lotta money for the logs and giving up a lotta torque/power, throughout the rev range. Any header is better than no header. Jus saying. ------------------------------------- While the 340 logs are adequate...

In my younger days; I would put my big 1/2 drive Johnson-bar on there, put the bar on the frame, and hit the starter. Bam!, the bolt was loose, and the bar was on the ground. Obviously, you can't tighten it that way, but if I could I would. But what I have done is put a bar on the flywheel to...

Here are the 1969 specs, For the 727; Front clutch/standard; 3disc is; .036 to .085; per disc equals .012>.028/average is .013 4disc is; .024 to .125; per disc equals .006>.031/average is .019 Front/hi-perf; 4disc is; .066 to .123; per disc equals .016>.031/average is .024 5disc is; .022 to...

Here's something to consider; New brakeshoes never match used drums. That is to say, if you lay a new shoe into an old drum, and manage to not hang it up on the ridge, it will rock up and down the friction surface. This means that the shoe is only contacting the friction surface over a tiny...

You and I are are good. We are mostly on the same page. If I was a teenager, you could be my best friend. We could be beer buddies, except neither of us goes for that. I guess we could be pen-pals, like in the private conversations area. Oh wait, I think we've traded enough conversations, to...

...which I have ever seen. As others have said; The Z-bar, in front view needs to be about parallel to the ground, and in Top view needs to be at 90* to the centerline of the car, and properly anchored on the bushings at the frame end. There are more than one Bellhouse and matching pivots and...
