the first time I changed oil in a new 1969 coronet 440-4 speed ,rt , something started blocking the drain hole , reached in w/ a wire w/ a hook bent on it , and pulled a gob of steel wool out --sabotage from the factory , no doubt !

You are so right , algores jet polutes more than half the cars on this forum .

a little out of line here , but , what pisses me off is, David Page went to work for edelbrock, he was the go to guy for troubles at fast fuel inj., he was reportedly still in memphis , but in a diff. building.

will, more than likely feel like less torque .

someone brought it up---------

I have been thinking about going to a160 just for an experiment , I played w/ about everything else in the cooling system---------

I did a couple , just to compare (experiment) , no diff in anything , except they are in there and cant be unscrewed ------------easily.

I quit reading about halfway thru this post , I ran w/o the plug washers in my hemi for 14 yrs with no problems , nary a one ! Even got the idea from Tom Hoover ! The alum tubes sealed very well , unless they are worn out or chewed up from the washers to start with .

why not move up to 89 or 91 , and fugetaboutit ?

Yeah, but they didnt put out the h.p. were getting out of them today !!

WHOPPS SOME ONE BEAT ME TO IT !

AGREE , BUT .006 IF ITS AN ALUM. HEADED V-8 .

Usually about 80 cents a gallon higher here .

Interesting , I run 93 non ethanol in 2 john deere lawn tractors, chainsaw, leaf blower , and my 505'' barracuda , no problems w/ any of them .

Agree with all of it except the hemi part . The sides of the hemi piston is where the quench is at , not the bottom of the piston . And on a superstock hemi , we couldn`t go above 36 degrees very far w/o killing power . I had jacked around with it at the dragstrip , went up to 42 and slowed it...

I hit the agree button- If the parting lines are still lined up perfectly. The later stuff sounds kinda suspect !

I replaced the rodbolts in a hemi superstock type engine w/ mopar bolts , didnt change anything , knocked them in w/ a hammer while holding the rod in my left hand.< tells you how tite they were . That engine was raced for a lot of yrs. , and as far as I know are still in it -----------

I have not had any trouble w/ belts (on cars) , if u can find a kevlar belt in the size u need , you`ll probly never have to replace it .

RRR must be a mind reader , or his crystal ball is working again , I cant get past ''stay in , or ''stay one'' , what the hell does that mean !?!

HEMI`s didnt come with .003 clearance tho-----lol

MY crystal ball isnt working , what size rings u wanting ??

I have used and prefer MSD wires , low resistance/50 ohms per ft.

Interesting , so how big a shot is it ??

Never had a slant , but in the 426 hemi`s , the washers would eat up the spark plug seal tubes . On a slant I think they maybe called something else , but think they are still alum. . The alum. tubes will seal the plugs/combustion chamber .

bfd !

I bought a 13,000 mile 426 hemi out of a rolled/junked 1968 road runner , it had from the factory 200-205 # on all cylinders , with a .020 steel shim head gasket ------just sayin

not slant 6 related There is an aftermarket alum. valve that is way high on price, wagner I think, never paid to much attention at that price. supposed to be a 2 stage -----adjustable , a couple of guys on here say its the best hing since sliced bread , and well worth it . The valve I have on my...

A little off topic here, but what pcv valve would work best on bigger stroker engines/ off the shelf only, not going to pay $75 for one .??????

I posted a while back that I was thinking about running my heater hoses , strapped to the runners under side to add a little heat , under my victor intake , which is pretty darn tall. I got no opinions on it , and havent done it , since I dont drive the fish in really cold weather. a guy I...
