    New To Holley Carburetors

    And not all that rehearsed in other carburetors. A friend gave me an old 600 DP and I recently started playing with it. I pulled a bowl off and ya, it was put away wet. It doesn't look too bad. Accelerator pump has some cracking. It obviously needs a kit. What really caught my eye was the...

    Cattle Dog Garage

    I did not stumble on to him, I was eluded to him through this site. I listened to some of his video on YouTube. He likes David Vizard’s formula for calculating camshaft lobe separation angle. I found it interesting that he changed the formula for Cleveland heads and big block Chevy heads...

    Short Block Measuring

    I'm building a 340. I had the main caps line honed and had the decks squared to the crank mains. I checked all four corners with the DDS pistons and everything is spot on. Do I really need to check every lifter to get accurate pushrod length measurement or can I just rely on one cylinder for...

    Hardened Oil Pump Identification

    I am in the process of building a known to me good running 340. Upon disassembly, the engine reveled a high volume oil pump. I defaulted to a new hardened oil pump shaft because I do not know if the existing oil pump shaft is hardened as is required for a high volume oil pump. I am having second...

    Morell Hydraulic Roller Lifters

    I have a 340 in the machine shop. They have a set of retro fit Morell hydraulic roller lifters that someone backed out on. They are fixing to return them. My plan was to reuse a good hydraulic flat tappet cam and lifters from a different block. The machinist is a little skeptical on me re-using...

    Ruined heads?

    Are these heads worth keeping in my stash. The gaskets were intact and it ran okay. 202 valved j head. No other port work was done. Just the port entrance. Just for reference, my dumb *** did this before the internet existed. I just tore the 340 apart for a new build. I'm not using these heads...

    1996 Explorer help.

    We have one in the shop and the customer backed into something with the rear gate open. It really jacked it up but we cant really see any obvious damage. I think the shell is bent in the hinge area but not sure. Does anyone have access to a undamaged gate who can tell me if the area where the...

    Graston Technique For Pain Relief

    I am 90% healed. I have been suffering with radiating mid back pain for the last 8 years. It was getting to the point where it was affecting my quality of life. It’s a specific cure but it worked for me. It breaks down scar tissue from an old injury. For me anyway. I finally decided to go to a...

    Cold vs. Warmed Engine Compression Check

    I checked it cold because it isn’t in running condition. I just wanted an idea before I pulled it. 145 Across the board. forged piston 30 over 340. I am wondering if anyone has an idea how much of a gain in pressure a warm engine might make over a cold (70 degree) engine. All of the plugs pulled...

    Thread sealer/ locker on PRW rocker shaft ends

    These PRW rocker shaft mounting holes were modified to accept a geometry relocation kit. I pulled the end plugs to ensure cleanliness. I heated the Allen headed plugs to loosen whatever the sealer/locker is and removed them. Now I am wondering what to replace this sealer/locker with. Good old...

    Lack Of Literacy Really Ticks Me Off

    This should be fun. I’m not sure why it bothers me so much. I bite my tongue usually. It seems to me that answers to most questions are yes or no in nature. You make that assertion and we can go from there. Example: CL add. The person is parting out a 99 Durango. Very little specifics. To...

    Hearing protection.

    I spend many monotonous hours on the end of a buffer or grinder or… you get the idea. Right now I use wired ear pods under my ear muffs but it is not very ergonomic. Do noise cancelling headphones offer the hearing protection I need. Im open to suggestions. I want to stream from my phone. All of...

    Streching

    So I have a new customer. He is a Chiropractor. He says, “can I do anything for you?” Can you fix my back I say. Bla bla bla. What it boils down to is stretching backward. it seems we spend our lives hunched over. Working on cars, computers, gardening, the list goes on. I have always prided...

    Pressure Washer Blues

    I have a new pump for my pressure washer. It has a Honda engine. I have it on a bench. Pump looks correct but isn’t bolting up correctly. I tipped the engine and chassis a bit to get a look at what Is going on while failing to process that the bolts that hold the pump on also retain the engine...

    AVS 2 CFM???

    It seems they jump from 650 to 800 CFM. I am under the impression that a good 340 should have a 750 CFM carb. I'm thinking of getting the Edelbrock but need a nudge as to which one. The build should go like this so far . 67 Barracuda. Dont really know the weight but yarding the back seat is a...

    Do AMC 727 guts work in my A-Body 727?

    I can get one for 50 bucks. Unknown condition. Mine has been messed with a lot and has had a lot of trash run through it. Trans guy says it will never be right. I'm wondering if I take a chance that I can make a good trans by swapping the guts and rebuilding.
