    What is your preferred cut/buff compound for smoothing out orange peel?

    OK, here is what I do. I wet sand clear (same concept as single stage Acrylic Urethane) with 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and then 3000 grit wet sandpapers using a block, NOT your bare hand. I like to use the softer rubber block like the one in the picture. Stay away from sharp edges with the...

    Bypassing the Amp gauge - Question about the MAD Electrical method

    Because there isn't a switching wire from the ignition to ammeter. Circuit is constant hot line from battery to alternator. The main splice on the black wire from alternator to ammeter has the branches to main components

    Speedo cable making noise

    You will more likely have broken a strand on the cable which is flicking around causing the noise. Fix is a new inner cable.

    Spark Plug Question

    The 'new' NGK plug is the same as the old one except one except now it has a resistor. Never heard of one of these causing a performance loss, & D. Vizard did some testing & found the same thing. In fact, in the test below, all the plugs tested were resistor plugs except the one with the lowest...

    Multiple Popped Welds Under Hood

    That 3M stuff cures too fast I think. People are saying it cures in like 10 seconds. I have so much separation between the brace and the panel, I need to put something in there then drop the hood and push the panel down from above. I was thinking I would throw a blanket and add some weight on...

    Will 1971+ 340 Exhaust Manifolds fit in a 67 A-body?

    Yes it will work. Someday, if you get the chance, place your 67 Barracuda next to a 39 340 Barracuda with the hoods open. The engine compartments will look the same.

    Speedo cable making noise

    Thanks for advise Yes on the front seat. I just had it out to redo interior/ Bulkhead connector and put in new refurbished steering column. That was before total knee replacement I had done like 8 weeks ago. Ugh was hoping I could get around not monkeying around under dash again. 67 and feeling...

    Speedo cable making noise

    67 should have a screw on end that looks like the end on the transmission but smaller. On my dart I can (just barely) unscrew the end and once it's free it's not hard to pull it to the side. Removing the drivers seat is a huge help. It's only 4 nuts From there you can pull the inner cable...

    Spark Plug Question

    So Im looking at replacing my plugs. I have a mildly built 340, Edelbrock AVS2 650, LD340 intake, MSD 6AL2 ignition/distributor, Edelbrock heads, unsure of cam but am told its a mild roller, TTI long tube headers, 4spd. Currently the plugs in it are NGK 7496 BCP5ES gapped at .040, which have...

    Will 1971+ 340 Exhaust Manifolds fit in a 67 A-body?

    The bolt spacing on all the stock LA series heads is the same so all LA series manifolds will bolt up. The exhaust ports on a 340 are bigger so using a 318 manifold on a 340 will result in a port mismatch but with a gasket, they should seal just fine.

    What is your preferred cut/buff compound for smoothing out orange peel?

    If it is sanded to 2000 why do you need HD rubbing compound? Too harsh?

    7 qt pan that actually "bolts in" a BB A body?

    Here is a Photo of my fish on Heavy Deceleration. Next photo is The Center Link and the natural tilt up to the idle arm. This is normal, Pan clearance to ground is quite good with ride height set to factory specs based on 15" wheels "+1". "Absolutely" no mods to pan or K-Frame. Pan used is...

    Will 1971+ 340 Exhaust Manifolds fit in a 67 A-body?

    wait, what? The 318 manifolds will bolt up to the 340 without leaking? I thought I read a thread which indicated the 318s wouldn't work. I have 318 manifolds on the car now (plus have a pair of 273s!). The ratio of (a lot of dollars) / (7 HP) is not pretty. If 318s will work I'll use them!

    Just a little memory, maybe a confession.

    Stealing stereos is nothing. The real crime here is driving a '70 Camaro. I wouldn't confess that to anyone.

    5.9 stroker build

    The added stroke part of the added cubes eats up cam too. Does it seem like a huge seat of the pants difference? It's just 3.58" vs 4.00" stroke. The rod throw is only 1/2 that outward of center; .21" ...less that 1/4" There's no significant change to think this motor would run significantly...
