    How much improvement will I see?

    Make sure your fuel system is up to the task. A 3/8" feed and return with a good electric pump is what I would run. Return system also helps with ethanol fuel problems on a street car. Definitely get rid of the torker manifold. Airgap with an open 1" or better yet 1" HVH Super Sucker will...

    ARP Head Bolts and or Studs for LA 360 w/Speedmaster Heads.

    If you go with studs order the W2 kit. The upper row of the ARP kit for the edelbrock heads are to short. When I called ARP tech line about this issue they told me to back the stud out a few turns. I returned my kit to Summit and ordered the w2 kit. ARP could care less if their kit is correct or...

    Marvel mystery oil used as a lead substitute?

    4 oz to 10 gallons for fuel. MM was developed for radial aircraft engines in WW2 era. Google it and you can find an article of the development, it's a good read. I would run what you have and not worry about it. You may have induction hardened and not even know it. The auto industry knew...

    Rear end advice for racing with a 4 speed

    By the time I narrowed a dana, bought gun drilled axles from Moser and installed rear disc brake setup I was within 10 lbs of the 8.75. I got tired of fixing the 8.75 and decided to go dana. Have not worked on the rear axle since except for lube change. The axles from Moser came with a 10 year...

    Sure grip housing... send it?

    In post one the ring gear is off. Install the carrier without the ring gear installed and set the carrier bearing preload. Mount up a dial indicator and check the runout. I believe max is .004 but refer to the FSM. If it's out of spec it screws up the Backlash when you check that. You tube has...

    Mancini/HS 1.6 rocker not giving me the lift expected

    I ran into this recently with Hughes 1.6 aluminum rockers. I was missing out on over .045 lift with the correct length pushrod and finally saw the difference of the adjuster location to the centerline off the rocker shaft on half of the rockers I received. Look over your rockers and use a...
