Hi all, just looking for some advice on best way to set up a kickdown with a tunnel ram. It's for a 360 / 904 combo. I know there's the Lokar cable, but wondering if anyone has done something other than that? Advice and pics would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Pic of my Mopar here in Australia.

Thanks guys

Hi guys, looking for some advice regarding spark ug gap for my 360. Engine is 10:1 comp, has MSD ready to run distributor, with MSD blaster 2 coil, and is tunnel rammed. Spark plugs are BCPR6ES NGK. What gap do you recommend I run? Thanks in advance.

that alt bracket is a standard small block one here in Australia and the throttle bracket was something temporary that i made using a b&m shifter cable bracket, that has just stayed on there lol

Here you go

Finally got my 28 inch tyres on and it's dropped the rpm at 60 by 200 rpm. Thanks to all that offered advice.

Thanks for the info, ps.its an Aussie Dart (sold here as a Valiant)

Hahaha love it...

It's ok, just trying to clear up the confusion

Good point!

As mentioned above the rear end is Australian ford (Borg warner)

Thanks for all the replies guys much appreciated. So I checked the diff ratio and it is in fact 3.45:1. Tyres are 245/60/15 making them a 26.6 inch tyre. So perhaps I can swap out the rear gears for 3.23 which would help with the freeway driving or I can just live with it. Driving long distance...

I will check tomorrow, diff is supposed to have 3.45 out of an Australian early 90's ford falcon

yes i have done several of those and comes back as me having 3.9 diff gears or rpm should be around 2700, so im a little confused

just seems like 3000 rpm at 60 mph is high, though i'm new to manual trans

Hi guys, a while ago i swapped out my OD a833 for a non OD one, i believe it's a 1967 year and noticed a huge difference in 4th gear rpm at 60 mph. With the OD gearbox at 60 the rpm was at 2200, where as now it's at 3000 rpm. Diff gears are 3.45, tires are 26.6 inch, engine is 360 for what it's...

Hey guys just thought I'd share that after all the time spent chasing this problem it is fixed, I adjusted the gap on the relictor to .008, and cleaned the paint off the distributor clamp and now seems to be working as it should. Thanks for all the advice.

awohlers how did you go with that? Did you find what the issue was? I'm having the exact same problem with my 383 and new proform dizzy and it's driving me crazy!

yes, you're right it is a Bosch, my mistake, i have reversed the wires but did not make a difference unfortunately

Yeah I need to buy a multimeter and check it!

This is what I have done so far....

Just a standard push button from the local parts store

Hi everyone, got a real strange one this time. I have a newly rebuilt 383 on a test run stand and it has a Proform distributor with the GM style HEI conversion. So the other day we went to start it to break in the cam etc and no spark. Checked everything over and over and found that it has no...

Awesome, thanks for all the replies, at least now I know what to do!

Hi everyone, just after some advice regarding pulleys on my 383. I purchased the engine with no accessories, so when came time to buy an alternator, i bought one with the single pulley, so the original water pump pulley will not work. So i borrowed another water pump pulley from a friend that is...

yes i believe so, i purchased this 4 speed conversion a few years ago but its been a headache from day one, anyway, seems to be getting sorted out now.....

here's a pic of my o/d trans yes i think your right about the 5.125" retainer OD, perhaps mine was swapped over at some point

Thanks guys, I will order parts shortly, was hoping I could source stuff here in Australia but beggars can't be choosers. Not much stuff here in Oz.

I just noticed this crack, do you guys think this is something I should be concerned about? The trans is supposedly rebuilt.

What i know is The o/d retainer diameter is the 4.807" and the non o/d retainer diameter is 4.354. So i need the adapter ring. Thanks everyone for your input.
