I'm contemplating putting a blow through supercharger on my 360LA and in the process of thinking about the details of actually making it run a question came to mind (one of several, btw). What do you use as a crankcase evacuation system? Right now my normally aspirated engine is using a...

Hello all. I've got a Denso Toyota alternator that's rated at 100 amps (might be 90). I've done a little research and I should be running 4 gauge battery cable to a 100 amp fuse then to the battery. Is this right? I somehow doubt the factory ran a 4 gauge wire. If it doesn't need to be 4...

I have an OE throttle cable that is only 18" long. I thought it came out of a Duster that had a 318. However, looking up replacement cables shows a length of ~24". Is 24" correct and if so...what did an 18" cable fit? Thanks.

I know with our older cars problems can abound but it seems like every time I get one thing fixed something else pops up. I just replaced the hydraulic roller lifters in my 360 and now it has no oil pressure. Had good pressure before but not now. I've triple checked to make sure I installed...

I've read/heard that if you're building a hipo/race 904 that the front clutch spring should be replace either with a reverse wound spring or a multiple spring pack. The reason for this is that at higher RPM the stock spring winds up and thus loosens. Question - at what RPM would this become...

This rear end came out of a 73 Duster - 3.21 ratio...OPEN No brakes LBP Located in Lakewood, CO Shipping not available $250

I replacing the rear brake hose and the one I ordered is too short. I'm working on a 73 Duster with an 8.25 rear axle and when the rear suspension is fully extended the new hose is way to short. I'd say 3-4 inches too short. I've looked at hoses online for other cars and there are different...

Got what I hope is a simple question. My 904 seems to have a too high shift point even at part throttle. I'm using Lokar throttle and kickdown cables and I noticed that when the carb is at idle the kickdown cable does not allow the lever (on the trans) to go far enough to release all the...

I've always been a fan of the original B1 heads. I was wondering if those heads are still available and what other heads would be comparable?

1990 Small block LA heads. Heads were set up for stock roller cam and have only idle run time, no miles. Selling because I got a good deal on aluminum heads. $400 Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold. Will fit LA 273-360. $150 Will separate. Thank you.

The speedometer needle in my 73 dart has broken off the long end. Is it possible to replace the needle and who sells the needle? Thanks!

Got a problem with my 750CFM VS on my 360. It doesn't respond at all to idle mixture adjustments. The usually means that excess gas is entering the system. So I went through the usual suspects - 1) Float level too high - checked and was correct just barely trickling out of the hole. 2)...

Was checking my ignition to see what my initial and total advance was for mechanical advance alone and with with vacuum. (360 LA) Idling @ 800 my initial was 16* with vacuum disconnected. When I slowly began to raise the RPM the timing went down, yes down, to 10*. Then as the RPM continued up...

I've got a 360 with a hydraulic roller cam/lifters. It has what sounds to me like a lifter tick. The interesting thing is the sound will eventually fade away. The fading away is NOT related to the engine warming up. Sometime I can make the tick come back if I rev the engine to about 4k. The...

Quick question, hopefully. My ignition coil has a tach lead. I want to install a rev limiter that can use the tach signal. My question is can I connect both to the same tach lead and have both work properly? Thanks.

Starting with a 73 Duster and stock rear suspension, what would you run for bracket racing? This is not an all out tube frame car but a weekend warrior with a fairly warmed up 360 and auto trans.

For those who are using an aftermarket throttle cable like Lokar...how long did you make it and how did you route it? I'm having a problem that I can only get 1/2 throttle opening. When I observe it, it appears that the cable is flexing some before it begins to pull on the carb. I've taken...

I'm looking at getting some new wheels and tires for my 73 Duster but I'm not sure about fitment. The rear wheels I want are American Racing VN10558065B American Racing VN105 Torq-Thrust D Black Wheels with Machined Lips | Summit Racing. They are 15x8 w/4 1/2" back spacing BBP. The tires I...

So Saturday, Mecum Auctions is supposed to be auctioning a '71 Hemi Cuda convertible. It's expected to bring ~6 mil. I wonder what it will actually sell for if it sells at all. 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible | F166 | Indy 2021 | Mecum Auctions

I did some looking around on FABO and this question has been touched on before but most of those threads are pretty old. The size intend to get is the 275/50R-15 and intend to race only but have to drive to the track. So my question is what do you prefer? What has your experiences been with...

Got the carb adjusted and not only does it idle but no longer has a tip in bog. Carb was adjusted off the car and runs like you see without touching it further. Idles about 750.

Quick question, I hope... If using the 8 pin module for conversion and don't connect the computer terminal lead, does the module have a built in advance at idle? I'm having a bugger of a problem trying to track down an ignition gremlin that acts like it's too far advanced when I try to start...

FINALLY got my 360 a hair's breath away from starting it. I have 2 questions, though. 1) The car still has 87 octane gas in it from last year. The gas still smells ok but my comp ratio went from 7.8:1 to 9.2:1. Previous cranking pressure was 135 and new is 150. Will it run ok on the lower...

I've been reading on FABO about what is supposed to be the proper way to set the throttle blades on a 4 bbl Holley. I was having problems with it and so I checked my 750 VS. I set both the primary and secondary throttle blades to only show a "square" of the idle slot. However, before this the...

I've been doing some research into this and can't quite find the answer I'm looking for. I have stock 273 adjustable rockers and I wonder how far to turn them after 0 lash to get the proper lifter preload. I've seen anywhere from 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns. Which is it or what's the best way to...

Problem I've got is that the pushrods are contacting the head at the bottom of the pushrod tunnel above the lifters. Anyone else encountered this? If not, you might want to check your pushrods for contact/rubbing in this area. Problem is that I don't know how to correct it...any ideas? 360...

I have a Holley Street Dominator intake that has 318 sized ports. I was wanting to open them up to match the ports on my Speedmaster heads which are 360 sized. It looks like there's enough meat to open the ports to the sides but they need to be taller too. Problem is that the opening them up...

Got a couple of questions that I have not seen answered directly. 1) What spark plugs are you using? 2) I'm going to use the Speedmaster head studs. Considering what info ARP provides for their head studs used for the Edelbrock heads, a) What torque spec are you using (Edelbrock wants...

Just got my new h-roller cam from Oregon Cams. Now I can begin the assembly and move towards getting this thing going. 360 LA Speedmaster CNC heads Oregon h-roller cam 236/248 @.050, .539/.558 lift Holley street dominator intake 750 Holley vac secondary

Looking for a set of adjustable rocker arms for 360 LA. Needs to be able to clear a 1.45" retainer. Thank you.
