    Do Magnaflow's wear out?

    I've had these MAGNAFLOW 3.5 X 7IN. OVAL STRAIGHT-THROUGH PERFORMANCE EXHAUST MUFFLER 11132 on my car for about 6 years with around 35,000 -40,000 miles on them. I've noticed this summer that they seem louder especially when taking off. Wondering if there's baffles in there that eventually...

    Pulsing dash lights

    Out the other evening for a cruise and turned my lights on and noticed that dash lights were pulsing. I very rarely have car out at night so lights are never on. I shut car off and lights quit pulsing, only when running. Alternator or voltage regulator maybe? doesn't seem to be affecting anything.

    500 AVS2 or 650 AVS2 ???

    As some of you know, I've been throwing carbs at my 65 Dart 318 for a couple of years. Have a 600 Eddy on there right now, not bad but looking for a change (don't ask me why). Long story short, looked at posts going back a few years about carb sizes for 318 and everyone's thoughts. It's a 318...

    500cfm Summit carb on 318

    Dropped a 500 Summit carb on my mild 318 to try out. When I accelerate aggressively around 3200 -3300 rpm it seems to be starving a little. If I back off it's fine and can cruise down the road with no problems. Adjusted fuel pressure up a little from my Eddy. Not sure if changing secondary...

    A/F/R gauge for tuning

    Any one use a Air Fuel gauge for tuning at home? And if so, is it worth it? Last question, is there one that you recommend that's not super expensive that works?

    Popping thru carb

    Every once in a while, and only when the engine is warm. When I restart the car I'll get a little pop or back fire thru carb, not all the time. 318, mild build, auto, 600 Eddy with electric choke. Never happens when starting cold. Checked for vacuum leaks, timing all the usual suspects, this has...

Got back tonight after about 30 minute drive, after shutting car off (very important :( I grabbed fan and moved it back and forth. I thought once clutch got hot that it...

    Demon 625

    Currently running a 600 eddy on a mild 318. Runs fine but wondering if a Speed Demon 625 might give me a little more pop plus better mpg then my 600 eddy. Just looking for some feedback before making a decision. Currently I get a little over 15 mpg on trips, 3:23 gears. Thanks for any feedback :)

    Popping out of gear

    I have a Hurst Pro Matic shifter. The last couple of times out it's been in 1st gear then it shifts right into 2nd without shifting. I checked the cable, it seems fine (I've had them melt thru) do the ratchet shifters wear out after so long and not hold the gear? This ones probably 7 years old...

    New shocks

    I knew my front shocks weren't the best anymore. When I removed and compressed, the driver side didn't bounce back at all. Not that old, maybe 3 years. Replaced with QA 1 non adjustable shocks. Only had it out once so far, as you can imagine much better. Looking forward to a longer trip to...

    [SOLD] Edelbrock AVS 500 #1901 Elec choke

    Fan Shroud

    Do the after market fan shrouds that only go about 2/3 of the way around work? It seems that leaving the bottom 1/3 open is not very efficient. Would they work better if you continued with a piece on the bottom to enclose it? I have one on my aluminum radiator, wondering if I can make it more...

    P.S. fitting leaking at pump

    My hose going into pump has been sweating fluid out around the fitting, not real bad, just annoying. My question, is it the fitting and I need a new hose or can I put teflon tape around threads and stop it? One of those winter projects to clean up leaks. :icon_fU:
