Set my initial timing at 19-20 and the idle still chugs once in fear. It also bogs down when I slow throttle out of idle. Tomorrow I am going to tickle the initial timing all around and see if that cleans anything up. My hei dist has vacuum advance. Could that be causing any of these issues...

I would love to hear more about this.

Bummer... the car idles great but when put into gear lopes super low and sometimes stalls. I was hoping to find the ID number so that I could get the exacts timing for idle and 3000rpm and hoped that would sure things up.

hey all, I bought my 1973 dart swinger about a year ago and the engine was a built 360. It was built before I bought it but unfortunately I cannot chase down the exact cam they put in it. I know it is a big purple cam and it has a Holley 650 and a edelbrock performer intake. My question is...

So last night I was able to pull the output shaft housing and the pan and I was very surprised at my discovery. There was no damage to the trans at all, but when I dropped the pan the park rod looked perfect. Everything was as it should be, and no odd wear on any of the components. After looking...

It’s in air and manually the wheels spin freely. It is almost impossible to turn the shifter out of park by hand. I am assuming I’ll have to drop the pan. Will I need to pull the valve body to inspect it or will it be pretty easy to get to?

1973 dart swinger built 360 w/ 904 Pulled up to the gas station and it won’t actually go into park. I have a Hurst pro matic 2 shifter and the park is internal. I adjusted the linkage and still nothin. Going into and out of park is difficult and and the transmission runs perfect otherwise. Is...

Ya... but for $750... seems steep.

I have a 1973 dart swinger that has green interior. My seats are original and slowly ripping and falling apart. The foam is good so I just need a new set of skins. I’m having a really hard time finding anything that looks like it would be right. Any suggestions for sites/people that could get me...

Hey everyone! I’m starting to dig into the wiring and I have another question. I noticed another ballast resistor that looks like the one by the ecu but it it only a single one located by the wiper motor. The wires are brown so that makes me think ignition. Do I bypass this one to or is it for...

Well, I tore into it last night and I pulled the Intermediate shaft and re-seated it and she dropped right in. Thanks for all the feedback! Having a community like this really helps when you hit minor snags! So glad I didn't need to ship and re-order. Now I just need to rewire it and we should...

Thanks man! I love doing electrical and have done it alot, but without a diagram it would take me forever! This helps me out tons! Awesome pictures throughout the progress too!

Distributor is a ready to run set up so it is positive and negative and only needs an ing. on/start 12v

This is the kit I bought, the bottom of the shaft where it is tapered/keyed is longer in the picture then the one i took out. I am working (loose term) so I cant get a picture of that until tomorrow.

Do I just leave the ECU and everything else connected?

What would the b engine be out of. This engine was built and put in before I bought it. It is a molar 360 small block. I’ll measure the shaft length tonight. I bought it from a 3rd party online and they did not say whether it was LA, B, or anything. I did not realize there were different...

Hey all! So I bought a HEI Dist. and the blade at the end of the dissy seems longer than my original. It is making thr base not seat by about an 8th of an inch. Has anyone had this issue? Can I just use a grinder and grind it down to the old length? If I leave it will it still work or will it...

I would be interested in one as well! 94405

Thanks! Ill do that tonight and see where im at! I really should just up and purchase a manual. Any suggestions to a good place to get a good deal on a real manual?

The odd thing is it seemed to drive fine with the rake slightly higher. I have a feeling that the gas was still winter blend and is causing it to be a different octane level than I want. I spoke with a friend who this time of year always runs racing fuel to make sure he doesnt get stuck with...

That was my thoughts too, but I just found it odd. Thanks for the reply. I thought a vacuum leak would cause it to stumble and chug... not run with a higher idle. I guess it could be bad gas. I guess I’ll just have to dig into it some more.

Also, I know this talks about suspension, but the engine running high idle is more of my concern! Engine is a 360.

ok... I just replaced my rear springs and front torsion bars with espo +1’s and pst bars. I replaced the rear springs first and everything was fine. Test drove to make sure there were no buns or clunks and filled it up with gas. Then replaced the t bars and when I started it up it ran at a very...

Wow! This escalated quickly... lol. Well I truly enjoy all the different ideas and ways to do it and I fortunately am not moving fast on making the change as it runs really well now. I am just always interested in newer/better ways to run things and you all are obviously way more knowledgable...

What Pertronix kit are you referring to? I am seeing a lot of different options. Do you have a link?

I love all the options. Looking through the latest comments I have a few comments. The purple cam is a fairly mild cam so I still feel like and MSD would be overkill at this time. I don’t plan on taking it to the strip so I like the idea of not over upgrading. I also like conserving the budget...

66 cuda, did you buy the ignition kit, or did you buy a few things from it(I.e. points bypass, etc)

I’ll have to do some research!

hey everyone! While waiting for my springs and torsion bars to come in the mail I was pondering ignitions. Obviously I could get an MSD, but I feel like that is overkill on the street. I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions to whether or not it is overkill, or if I should be looking at...

Alright, so I ordered the 6 lead Espo’s with +1” and I ordered the 1.08” torsion bars from PST with new bushings and clips. My adjusters are free so I will reuse those. What else would you recommend to make the install of the springs and bars easier. I have hear Mancini has a good set of...
