    Musclecar Restoration Service

    It's been a while since I've been here, however I was busy with my 68 Cuda and 69 Charger. Just thought I'd share if anybody needs any services in the North Texas area, I have a shop specializing in general musclecar restorations, and obviously I specialize in Mopar. Although I have been doing a...

    A Question for the Experts....

    I can't seem to keep the alternator/waterpump belt on my car, and I was thinking if this is also why my car felt flat going to 3rd gear. Temp got to 250 degrees at the end of each run as well. My battery also wasn't holding a charge as I trickle charge it all night, and checked it before I went...

    New Best....Again!!

    Well, it went 10.86@117 today, however it kept slinging the water/alternator pump off on each pass, taking the engine to 250 degrees. Ouch. Also, Six pack hood tried to turn in to a kite, as it is only pinned on 4 corners. I'm done with the mechanical water pump, as the belt just won't stay on...

    904 Selective Thrust Washer

    Sorry but this is probably a dumb question, but I need to know. I'm overhauling my first automatic, and in doing so, I'm trying to figure out what "selective" thrust washer to user between the input shaft and output shaft. I have a set of oring and small steal washers, and one steel cap with my...

    Are there any books available on how to overhaul the 904/998 torqueflite tranny? I know there is one on the 727 but I need one for the 904. Thanks.

    Rod Side Clearance

    O.k., yeah, another snag. I just switched over from an Eagle cast crank to a forged Scat crank. Problem is, when I reinstalled the Eagle Sir rods into the Scat crank, the rod side clearances were WAY too tight, as in no clearance. I fine filed the side of two rods, and gained a little, but did I...

    Thrust bearing failure

    I just disassembled my 408 and found the thrust bearing heavily worn. My thrust bearing surface on my Eagle crank is fried as well as the bearing. I had no problem with the flexplate or converter fitting in the hub of the crank when I built the engine 2 years ago. Although you can see where the...

    Valve Guides

    Would bad or "leaking" valve guides cause blow by and high crankcase pressure? I have a set of Edelbrock Magnums on my 408 and it just blew the front seal between the oil pan and the timing chain cover out on my 11.90 pass. How would you check for this? Any help appreciated.

    Rocker Arms for SB Eddy Mag.

    Could someone please give me some suggestions on a good rocker arm for SB Eddy Magnum heads? I currently have(and about to throw away) Crane 1.6 Aluminum Energizers. I pulled one of the valve covers and found that one of the pins that holds the roller tip had almost pushed its way out and about...

    Emulsion Jets for QF 750

    When do you guys find it necessary to start tuning with the emulsion jets(air bleeds?)? I've really learned a lot with the other aspects of the carb, just curious. Or should I leave well enough alone?

    What RPM to set Idle Mixture

    O.k., another question for my buddies. At what RPM should I be checking my vacuum for setting the 4 corner idle on my QF 750 or 950? I have been doing it a 1000. It has a large roller cam as well, 238, 242 @.050. .555 @.585 lift. Trying to get the thing close before I head to the track.

    M1 Single Plane Question

    I have been playing around with my combo and have noticed something very disturbing. My M1 Single Plane is a spreadbore design. I'm running a QF 950 DP on my Eddy headed 408. I've been playing around with spacers as well. Don't know why I didn't pay any attention before, but dam it seems like a...

    Wiring an MSD 6AL-2

    Maybe someone here can help me.....again. This time an MSD 6AL-2 ignition box to my small block in my Barracuda. I already have a "Ready to Run" MSD distributor and coil. Car was running fine. Today, I tried to wire my new MSD to my ignition EXACTLY per the instructions and it will not fire...

    Orangish Hue on Spark Plugs

    O.k., after some jetting on my Eddy Headed 408, 950 Qf, got it pretty dam sweet for the street. Then I pull my spark plugs, and they have an orangish color to them. Is this coolant? The car runs AWESOME! No miss, 12.1 @113 this summer without tuning, great manners. I did use Cometic gaskets...

    I Give Up!! Not enough Throttle Travel

    :angry7: O.k., here is my dilemma. My 68 Cuda originally came with a 318 2 BBL. I now have a 408 w/single plane M1 and 950 QF. I have found that I have NEVER achieved full throttle, maybe 1/2 to 3/4. I cannot, even with various different accelerator cables and brackets and cannot get the dam...

    Pinning a Lift Off Hood

    I've done the search, but could anyone show me some pic's of how they pinned their six pack hood on a 68 Cuda? I have the AAR fiberglass sixpack lift off hood, and the pin kit from Year One, but it seems the hood needs to be centered correctly and I'm trying to figure out where to drill the car...

    850 or 950 Carb

    Would I see an improvement from my QF 750 DP to an 850 or 950 DP on my 408 Eddy headed Magnum?

    Erratic Vaccum Reading

    O.k., I'm learning just enough to be dangerous now with a vacuum gauge. My Eddy headed 408 is coming around now, especially now that I also learned how to use the 4 corner idle with the vacuum gauge. But my concern is that the vacuum gauge flutters, and the reading I get from my gauge hooked up...

    Now What????

    O.K., got the exhaust back on, distributor, carb, everything on the money in regards to engine with the help of some dam smart and great people. Went driving yesterday, WOW, what a ride when timing and fuel are dialed in. So, thought I'd take my buddy for a ride before I went to the track...

    I never cease to amaze myself......

    At what dumb, stupid mistakes I keep making. O.k., got the distributor springs worked out, and was excited about going to the track. That morning, I replaced all the plugs with new Autolite 5224's, and the night before put one size jet(80's) in the primary side of the carb. It's a QF 750 D.P...

    Crankcase Ventilation

    Another question for the expersts here. After each run in my car, especially the 1/4 mile, it seems I'm experiencing EXTREME crankcase pressure blowing past the front main seal, and out the 4 breather caps on my valve covers. I have no PCV valve setup as of now, but I think I need to address...

    Still not There!

    :angry7: Well, I ran at the Mopars at the Motorplex yesterday, and still cannot get into the 11's. I ran 12.105 @ 113MPH. 60' is still 1.85. Plugs looked like I just took them out of the box when new after 2 runs. Fuel pressure on the first run dropped to 3 PSI when I shifted to 3rd gear. I put...

    750 or 850 cfm?

    All right, another million dollar question: Would I benefit by going from my 750 Quick Fuel D.P. to an 850 Quick Fuel D.P.? My 750 came from QF with 74 jets in front and 84 in the rear. Some folks have told me it's at the high end of the spectrum regarding jetting. Here is my combo: 408...
