    Factory tank vent gone, now what?

    Last thing I need to figure out for the FITech setup is the vent system. On my 71 Scamp it had the old four corner tank vent system, which is going to be gone completely. I just got that one all figured out, now useless to me. So the new setup is the FITech with an in tank pump, EFI tank...

    Help with 71 vent line, verse 72 and up.

    MagnumMopar has really got me straightened out with the fuel connections to hook up my EFI system, I decided to go with hard lines from Classic Lines because they will bend me new supply and vent lines both in 3/8" instead of the 1/4" on the vent line, then Magnum's kit {which he actually took...

    Plumbing the fuel system, the right way?

    So now that I've taken the FI plunge, does anybody want to point me in the right direction with the best fittings and what nots? Is there a kit? I don't know sizing yet as I have not ordered the tank yet. Lines and fittings of quality here is the name of the game, I think the Earls fittings have...

    18 gauge wire good for anything?

    I've been stocking up on high quality wiring and connectors looms and such, I'm tired of having to cobble together or make parts store runs everytime I need to wire up something. So I'm buying in small bulk to build up a supply, I was shopping online and between comparing prices I didn't pay...

    I know the info is here, but I keep finding bits and pieces. Is there a thread that will tell me how to wire the Contour fan up properly? It's goiing in a 71 Scamp with a Champion 22inch. Is there a harness kit I could buy with relays? What gauge wire and relays to use? Should I be taking the...

    Why trash the rotators?

    So on my build I obviously trashed them, but my question is why? They seem like Ma M was again ahead of her time introducing these, so what gives, why would that be a bad thing, weren't they supposed to keep the exhaust valve cooler, therefor more longevity?

    Anybody need a set of small bolt steel wheels?

    I need to get these out of my garage and I don't want to scrap them, They came on my small bolt 71 Scamp and as far as I know they are straight, I didn't get on the highway but they did'nt vibrate up to around 50mph. I do have the hubcaps as well but I'd like something for those, they may be...

    Bitter learning curve. Absolutely DONE with carburetors!!!

    I started hearing a faint thumping sound on my newly built 360 at idle around the trans hump. Now I know this can't be good but I try not to worry to much because it's just ever so slight, but I'm monitering it and can't stop listening for it. I have about 300 miles on it and it's only been to...

    Cooling issue, but this time it's to cold...

    I've been putting some miles on my fresh 360, I took it to work this week for the first time and it was about 47 degrees out, cold, yes that's cold for me in FL. I couldn't really get any heat out of the heater unless I was at a stoplight, once I started moving over about 50mph it cooled off and...

    Edelbrock Performer 600 losing prime ???

    Hi, had some issues that I thought were related to tuning my new 360, well I've pretty well got it worked out in no small part from help here. As part of the process I rebuilt the carb, the engine used to fire up immediately after hitting the key, then it took longer and longer cranking for it...

    Idiot Lights

    When I turn on my key nothing happens as far as idiot lights doing a bulb check. I just assumed I was going to deal with this when I change out the gauges, the key buzzer does work, I unplugged it, it's an awful sound lol. Today I bent my brakes lines a little to get them a bit farther away from...

    New gas tank leaking twice !!!

    I bought and installed a new gas tank from from Tom's Classics. New sender and seals. After about a week installed it started leaking all over my garage floor before the smell let me to it. I wasn't very happy let me tell you, the smell was coming in the house and it soaked into the concrete...

    It's finally a driver!!! Some general advice please.

    So the day finally came when I could take the 360 Scamp out for it's maiden voyage, first engine I've ever rebuilt, very happy! I already had it initially broke in but not driven except around the block a few times to test driveline. Everything went really well but I just want some advice...

    Easy question on 904.

    I know these tranny's are not electronic so what does the sensor that plugs into the engine harness on my 904 do? And how do I know if it's working?

    Time to decide on an ignition. Opinions please.

    Well the time is here, everything is just about back in order on my 71 Scamp auto that I rebuilt my first engine for, think I've got most of the bugs worked out so now for the ignition. I've been doing some reading/searching and I think what I would like is the MSD Streetfire box and coil...

    Timing marks.

    Timing was always a mystery to me before I started researching it, I pretty much a good grasp on it now ( cam specs on the other hand are still not second nature ). Back to the point, er, pointers (ha ha). I have on my 360la's stock timing cover degrees for timing, I also have timing degrees on...

    Just Venting, AARRGH...

    I learned a very frustrating thing, in my 71 Scamp the engine and trans will go in as one unit as factory. However when you throw in headers and a six quart oil pan, forget it! No amount of scratches on my newly painted engine, transmission and engine bay will make it happen either. AAARRGGH...

    904 Speedo gear clocks???

    While I had the engine trans out I replaced all the seals on the outside of the trans 904 (except the shifter seal which was not leaking but will now ) and I'm not real sure about putting the speedo gear back in. It looks like there is a clock to it, it also looks like there is a couple pointers...

    Header gaskets that work?

    I've been trying to get the new Mr Gasket aluminum header gaskets, thought I found a set on line but they just Emailed me saying they don't have it either. What other company has thick soft gaskets that might actually stay sealed?

    360 SWAP Balance question.

    Happy Halloween, I thought I had this worked out but,... The torque converter I was going to use doesn't work for me. 318 904 swapping to a 360 with the same 904, I rebuilt the 360 and installed a new Summit crank damper part number SUM-C4278 on the 360, it has a weight that can be left on for...

    What goes on here? Which transmission do I have?

    So like a good member I searched the forums and identified which transmission I had to be sure, determined that I had a 727 going by the shape of the oil pan, no problem. Then I ordered a kit online with all the external seals and filter together, nice, one stop shopping. I get the kit and the...

    4027596 on the intake runner under the valve cover, I cannot find this casting number? I have checked twice on both heads same number, not 4027569 like I found through searching?

    Couple questions, all about bolts.

    I have my engine back out to do a few things, it was only in long enough to start it and break it in and around the block a few times, now I'm taking off the oil and valve pans to reseal, not happy about this as I bought expensive reusable rubber gaskets. Anyway, Im probably just paranoid, this...

What's the difference between...

    Upgrade Ignition help???

    I know just the basics on ignitions. I want to do away with the control box and ballast resistor, and obviously get a better spark control. What do you guys (and Gals) recommend? Now, I realize you can get crazy with these, I'm not looking for that. It's a warmed over 360 in a 71 Scamp that I...
