    Stock cam 360 idles bad, dies in gear, fixed!

    That's the million question, I don't know the history of the heads. They were a finished set, that I ended up with in a trade. I didn't cc them before I bolted them on?? Could be, that was my 1st thought! I have a set of .020 rocker shafts spacers, I'll give them a try just to see what happens.

    need advice on what could cause this slight engine problem

    Try changing out the secondary vacuum spring, Holley makes a spring kit for tuning the timing of the secondary. While your at it get the quick change top cover, it makes it easier to swap springs. If it has the bare color (Factory) spring it now, it will open really slow, and maybe not fully...

    Stock cam 360 idles bad, dies in gear, fixed!

    Yeah, thats exactly what I thought also, 18 is a lot, but I degreed the cam, and checked the balancer for TDC, when I assemble the motor. Also swapped dist. when I was trouble shooting. It seems that this a common problem, because of the other posts that I've seen??? I would have never thought...

    360 oil pan ?

    The 318, 340 and 360 OEM car oil pans have the same sump location, if the 318 clears then the 360 will also. I have a 70 Duster that had a /6 now has a 360, still has /6 K frame, I used Schumacher mounts, fits perfect, headers clear, ect.

    Stock cam 360 idles bad, dies in gear, fixed!

    I found some others on this site that were having the same problems. Their solution also fixed my problem, a lot of initial timing. It is a fresh rebuild 360, and its been a long time since I built a stock cam motor (340 cam specs). The problem I was having seemed like a valve train problem, or...

    Will 10 inch wide wheels fit my Demon?

    I use old 10" Centerlines with a 4.5" backspace, 28x10.5 Hoosiers slicks, I had to roll the quarter panel wheel lips for clearance, but the S/S springs are in the stock location (I flipped the front hangers to lower the ride height). I also use 275x60's street tires on those wheels, they look...

    360 questions

    1971-1973 360 blocks can go .060 over, I have a 72 block that's .060 over. If it's not a 71-73 block, try looking for a 87-90 360 truck motor, they have a roller cam, and oil through the head. Good Luck!

    Alright, why is this thing overheating?

    I have the same problem on my 360 (70 Duster), the pulleys are the problem on mine. I changed from a underdrive crank pulley to a OEM 6 1/2" od, and it helped alot, but didn't completely solve the problem. The combo that I'm using now still isn't correct, because the crank pullley (6 1/2")...

    Good cheap torque converters

    I've had a A1 Converter (904) for years, it's on the 2nd motor, with hundreds of 1/8 and 1000' passes. It was custom built for my motor, gears, and car weight, @ the time it was around $500.00??? If it's going to track don't get a cheap converter, it will cost more in the long run when it breaks...

    MT Drag radial air pressure?

    I've found every car, and tire brand is different. If I change tire brands, I'll find a clean area of concrete, launch the car (not a burn out), then go back and check the patch. You want a soild black area across the width, if it's darker on the edges add 2lbs of pressure, do another launch...

    Stumble issue

    I had almost the same problem when I pulled off a 800 Thermoquad, and bolted on a 625 AVS Carter on my 360 Duster. The 625 AVS was just to small, and I didn't have any tuning parts for a AVS. I had a used 750 Vac Holley as a back up, and it runs great. Try a different carb!

    Stumble issue

    Sounds like a carb problem, check the pump in the carb. With the motor off, open up the choke, look down the primary side, see if you have 2 steady steams of fuel flowing when you (quickly) open up the throttle.

    mopar 273 rocker swap

    I have set in my .528 MP solid lifter cam, 360 Dart Sport. If you have the correct ball and cup style push rods that came with the rocker arms that's all you need. Just make sure you mount the shaft's so that the oil holes for the rocker arms are in the correct postion. I turn 6500RPM's, and...

    That sounds like my old car, Super Blue with a black demon stripe, hood scoop, but it was a driver and didn't have the hood stripe when I sold it. Does it have a 3 speed in the floor, and a 3/19/73 build date? I sold it in 99 in Jonesboro AR, the numbers matching block went with the car, it had...
