Yeah, Ima thinking technique. Here's something you can try . drive the car in first gear, up to a speed that makes 2500 rpm on the tach , look at the speedometer and make a mental note of the speed. I'm just guessing but say it 20 mph. Now, you will forever know that for zero speed difference...

Ok so with the car moving. I assume you know how synchronizers work, but humor me. The two FOUR working parts of the Synchronizers are; the Brass rings the Brake cones the three struts, and the Energizer springs. If any of those parts fail to do their jobs, You have problems, and a couple of...

Hang on boys we , or maybe just me, needs more information. To whit; You said; "So I parked my 68 Barracuda last fall but before I did, I was experiencing difficulty getting the transmission to shift back to first gear from 2nd gear." So I ask; 1) is this with the car moving? Now it's a...

Ok here is my opinion. 1) The 383 is a big-bore/short-stroke/high-rpm brawler. You already have everything it needs and wants. IMO, it would be a shame to stifle it with the logs. 2) If you can hear that it has a "fairly radical cam" in it, but you stifle it with log manifolds, then IMO you...

When I read the title, I came prepared with a string of smartazz comments. But now that I see , I decided you don't need me to ruin your day, lol. Happy HotRodding

Ok gotcha. I'm a Mechanic by trade. I build my own stuff and I do beat the chit out of it, then fix it when it breaks then beat the chit out of it some more, until something else breaks. I did that for five years and then finally got everything strong enough, that nothing after that broke any...

Thread-sert

Did the gear actually blow up? or did your engine rip off all the clutch teeth? If the gear is physically intact, it ain't/may not be, a throw-away. I took out the backseat of my car, so I can only scare the crap out of one fat friend atta time. In my car, I can feel that 250/300 pounder in...

Yes it will My combo is similar to yours, except a 367, the car weighs up to 3650/me in it, and sports 295s most days but has worn out a set of 325/50-15 BFG-DRs. I ran a CF-II for a few months but it was too harsh. I replaced the disc with a factory 340 one, and decreased the clamping a bit...

You said "a gauge." You did not say, a dial-bore gauge. So then, respectfully, I suggest you take it to a machine shop for a second opinion.

3.931, less 3.910 =.021, which is a chitload of wear on a "std" bore. Was this measured with a dial-bore gauge? If yes, then, more likely is that the engine is already overbored. But if no, not by dial-bore gauge, then, no comment. so to answer your question, as to .020; it would kindof...

That thought was never on my mind. My apologies if it sounded that way. I was only trying to inject some levity into your situation.

Ok I'm confused; Why would you run that 296* cam at 1500rpm for so many hours? What were you thinking? You wanna bet your engine oil smells like gas? ------------------------------------------------------- Here's what I would do; A) at your cruise-rpm of 1500 rpm; check your ignition timing...

If yur depressed now, you haven't been; > 500 miles from home, with an engine that is overheating for no apparent reason. > 300 miles from home, with your A833 is stuck in Fourth gear, > 200 miles from home, when at 60mph, the engine just quit running, > 100 miles from home, on a Sunday...

Just so you know I have a 1965 A904/core from a 273, with the flanged output. but not a pushbutton. However, I might have Cable-shift case.

May help keep the heat in the alloy heads; in my case, a good thing..

IDK what size clutch your 1971 Demon with a 198/A230 has, but since the 198 is the smallest slanty available in '71, I'd guess it has the smallest clutch; But I'm just guessing, lol

I have a 68 Barracuda, 367/4-speed/3.55s/ at 3650 pounds/me in it. In the back are 295/50-15 on 10x2 drums, also no proportioning. In the front are 235/60-14s on KH 4-pot calipers on something like 10.7 discs The master is a 15/16 Disc/drum; On the back are 15/16 w/c's the Booster is off a 73>75...

I knew that; what was I thinking? lol

I see you're in Finland, so before you send them back; 1a) does the Cross pin fit into the case, and can it be secured in place with the screw or pin? and 1b) do the splines fit your axles? and 1c) will the C-clips go back in? If yes to all three; I gotta say this; yur more than halfway home. 2)...

Yur getting way ahead of yourself. Just put air shocks on it.

IDK, man: I'm thinking valve job. It'd a turbo car right? Valves don't bend by themselves, and if a valve doesn't close, it only takes seconds to burn a seat. If something went thru there to bend the valve, guess were it is now; Hyup, in the turbo. If the stems are tight, fix it, or you'll be...

That's a great idea, I didn't think of

Try the headlights and/or the horn. They are on different circuits, not off the ignition switch. If they work, that almost eliminates the battery connections. Then try the heater, which does come thru the Ignition switch. If it blows, this points to the NSS, so like said, try neutral, and with...

Yes and yes, but if the shifter is installed, it's a lot more difficult, cuz you're not exactly sure where the hole should go. and if you put it in the wrong place, well, that about screws it up. Honestly, I would drop the shifter. Here's how I installed mine, and it went pretty smoothly. I...

I can't answer your questions, but that combo, if my numbers are right, is gonna come in around 9.7 Scr which is not nearly enough for that cam, even down at sealevel. Installed at 104*, the Wallace Calculator predicts just 145 psi, with a Dynamic compression ratio of just 7.3.. Under those...

Hail-no on the copper, and I wouldn't run that soft-line either. If you make yur own, they aughtta be "double-flared."

and seat sorta looks burned. and the one on the right looks a lil deep too. How about a pic of the piston under it. Did you check the cam timing before the head came off?

On the street with street gears, yes ; If it spins both tires all the way thru First gear, then it's probably too big. If it don't spin the tires in Second gear, then you won't get to shift-rpm until maybe over 80 mph. With 3.23s say; 65= ~4200 in Second at WOT so then, in that situation, you...

Alloy heads do not need big timing on the street. I too have a 360 with alloy heads, with 3.55s, but with a 4-speed. If your heads are closed chambers, and your pistons are at or near zero-deck, then you are pushing a chitload of cylinder pressure with that tiny cam. In which case, mine didn't...
