    Electric pump before or after mechanical

    The Edelbrock Performer 1404/1405 carb float bowls are known to evaporate dry after about 3 days of sitting. I have two of them, I looked into this problem and it seems to be a common problem. The bowl vents allow the fuel to evaporate right out of the bowl. Mine starts fine when warm, but...

    NEED TO TALK

    IMHO, that car's value and rarity will continue to increase if you leave it original.

    So...you say you want to buy an electric car?

    For the record, here is a link showing available electric car chargers across the US and Canada. Actually worldwide. Click on any pin to see what type of charger. The orangeish ones are Tesla Superchargers. And to answer an earlier question there are 3 Tesla Superchargers in South Dakota...

    Power limits for LA small blocks?

    I don't know what an R block or X block is, not that knowledgeable. But I saw no mention of the block being used in the Hellcat, or comparison of that engine to the LS engine.

    What Idler Arm is this?!

    To close the loop on this, the correct idler arm was Moog K7086 for '73+ Dart, etc. It has "7324-C" cast into the part itself, both the old part and the replacement part. This is the bottom idler arm in the picture I posted earlier.

    Anyone own a pellet grill/smoker?

    I have a Big Green Egg. My buddy bought a Pit Boss pellet grill, the smaller one. He had a couple complaints, as I recall it did not come with slotted plate that would keep your meat away from direct flame, so can't do indirect cooking. And no way to dump the unburned wood pellets to easily...

    What Idler Arm is this?!

    Are you guys still around? I have the same problem fredsmedina had 7 years ago. My '67 Barracuda pitman arm has the identical "7324-C" marking on it; my steering assembly has also been replaced and I have not figured out what it came from. Tried Moog K7066 for '73+ Charger, it is so close but...

    determine which idler arm I have

    Thanks, Kiss and 67Dart. The 73+ may make sense because the idler arm in the 73+ picture looks like mine. Also because the engine swapped in is a 360LA small block which I think came from a '75 Charger. Would that engine swap require a k-member swap, which would lead to using the idler arm...

    determine which idler arm I have

    The suspension on my '67 Barracuda was modified by a previous owner, and I have no records for what was installed. My idler arm is worn out. I discovered on this site it does not use the original '67 idler arm because mine has a through-bolt to attach to the frame tabs. I thought it would be...

    67 Idler arm - perfect product

    Wow, I did not expect such a fast reply! I had heard of the mod you refer to. So you think someone welded up the bracket to allow using the 68 up idler arm? Thanks again!

    67 Idler arm - perfect product

    My idler arm appears to have a through-bolt on one end. The picture of the PST part looks different. This suspension has seen some mods by a previous owner. Does this look like the same idler arm you replaced? Thanks for your help.

    67 Idler arm - perfect product

    Thanks, I am in the market for that idler arm. Did you need to do a complete lift to get it installed?

    Intake manifold Not seating properly (?)

    On my small block LA 360 after removing and replacing the intake manifold I used a bead of RTV at the front and rear end rails like you are recommending. I am getting some oil seeping out of this area at the front of the motor. Maybe I did not use enough RTV in that area? Or could this also...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    Thanks for the help, guys. I found the problem to be a leaking float in one of my Edelbrock carbs. Sorry for the wild goose chase on thinking my timing was retarded, I guess it was me that was mentally challenged. Found a float kit nearby and had it running shortly after. With timing light I...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    I have an inline fuel filter -> mechanical fuel pump -> inline Edelbrock fuel filter -> inline fuel pressure gauge -> line then splits and feeds dual Edelbrock 1404 carbs. No fuel pressure regulator. I have a steady 5psi of fuel pressure on the gauge at idle and at least up to around 2,000...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    Not trying to argue, I'm the novice here, but even a reverse rotation engine would have a normal rotation direction, and manually rotating in the non-normal direction would be a reverse from the intended direction. Maybe it's more of a concern with an overhead cam engine, apparently not for our...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    OK I will build and use a piston stop to prove TDC and follow the other advice above. Although I had read somewhere that rotating your engine backwards is really hard on crankshaft bearings. Apparently that is not a widely held opinion since no one here mentioned it. Yes I do have two...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    Thanks for the efforts guys. I made progress tonight and found an error in my earlier timing analysis. Tonight I removed valve covers, removed distributor cap, removed spark plugs. Turned engine over slowly by hand and confirmed that harmonic balancer 0° mark perfectly aligns with TDC of...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    I will begin checking further. First a couple questions. -- If the timing chain did jump, then would that mean my camshaft and valve train is out of phase with the piston strokes? And this could only be fixed by removing timing chain, realigning cam, and reinstalling a new timing chain? Just...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    Update based on your replies so far: I think the reason I could not see the timing mark earlier this summer was just because the harmonic damper is painted orange, the timing mark is orange with no contrast, and the lower radiator hose blocks most of my view of the timing mark so it's hard to...

    LA small block timing is suddenly way off

    Hi, I have a 360 small block LA motor in my '67 Barracuda. MSD 6AL electronic ignition, MSD distributor with mechanical advance only, no vacuum advance, electronic points. Early this summer I set the timing by ear by rotating the distributor advanced as far as possible and it was running fine...

    newbie from Minnesota

    MobileCustoms -- Yes, let's get together. Probably late July or early August as I have some things coming up and a little work to do on the car first. I had the intake manifold off, replaced all lifters due to valve noise apparently from a hydraulic lifter that would not pump up, and now my...
