I used VHT paint on my new headers and followed all the instructions on the can and after 2 months it still looks great. We'll see what a little more time will do.

I can manually shift from 2-3 bt not 1-2. I havent taken the time to modify my column shift linkage so I can make it to first gear. The flat piece of steel that connects to the rod hits my headers. I have an idea for modification but I'm thinking of waiting until I can get an SCS shifter and...

Damn, what a waste!

Thanks Kim- Is there a way to adjust it myself?

Trying to get all the kinks worked out since dropping in the 383. Kickdown is adjusted and working great and I'm getting full throttle with the pedal but when i take off keeping the pedal on the floor the car will shift around 4600. It seems awful low for a 383 and was just wondering if I...

Good! Thats really the last thing I was worried about. I guess there's nothing left to do than to beat the hell out of it! Thanks 340

The 383 is running great- I think I've finally got most of the bugs worked out. It was about 85 degrees here today and it stayed right at 190 degrees running around with my dad this morning. After the engine is hot the idle oil pressure is about 25 to 30 pounds and driving around at about 2000...

All right. Made it over to the carb guy this afternoon. He adjusted the floats, unhooked and capped the vacuum advance on the dist, added a 1" phenolic spacer, and played with the timing and it seems to be running great now. However, I think he got a little greedy with the timing and it pings...

I think I've got it fixed. I borrowed an accel coil and swapped it out- no change. Then i used his ign box and it seems to run MUCH better. I think I need to fool with my timing a bit but I think the brand new orange box was crap!!!

I really think the wires need to be a little better than what I have- I'll check out NAPA tomorrow

What do you mean by "Old Style"? I have the rect one that measures about 3" x 4" and I'm pretty sure its original to the car!

I checked and re checked the wire routing and they're good. I mean to start the thing in park it fires up and idles great and its just ready to burn the tires off but in gear- a whole different story!

I hate to do it but i guess I'm gonna have to start throwing some parts at this thing. I think i'll swap out the stock replacement Bosch plug wires with some better ones (any recommendations?) and a coil (MSD Blaster?). Hopefully something will change here in the next few days..?

Well it appears as though its only doing it while under a load. Start her up in the garage and revs up good but back it out and put it in gear to take off and it misses/studders like hell. I really dont know what the hell to check next and really dont want to just start throwing parts at it....

The insulator had a light brown color to them and they werent black. I did check the reluctor clearance on my new dist and it was at .012 instead of .008. Havent driven yet to see if it made a difference. Also, should I change out my original voltage regulator with the new electronic ignition?

I re torqued the intake today since its been up to temp a couple times and then cooled down but I still can find why its missing. It seems to be at lower speeds but I cant seem to single it out. I can tell that once its found this cars gonna move pretty good. I guess I'll let it cool down and...

Well I got the exhaust on today and wanted to take it for a spin and noticed before I got it in gear that it seems to have a miss that doesnt start until a little over 2000 rpm. Idles smooth and comes off idle well but seems to feel like a rev limiter is kicking in. I dont remember doing it...

Can you start by telling us exactly what you are working with? What year block, has it ever been apart, head casting numbers, intake and carb setup, etc. It will give us all a little help to see what parts you should or shouldnt replace. Oh, and welcome to the best forum on the web- A body or...

The compression height of the KB 107's is 1.675 while a stroker piston needed for a 4 inch stroke crank is around 1.465 (KB 745's). You'll have to pony up the extra dough if you want to build that stroker. I would think those 107's would stick WAYY out of the deck.

Boy, thats a hard one to answer. I think they choked those 440's down quite a bit on compression in the mid 70's. SHould still have a butt load of torque though. I would guess high 13's at best...??

Kind of weird that they have "***" stamped into it at the end of the part number!!

Ditto.

Nice. A little different than what I'm used to seeing. Got any pics of that setup? Mike

Those are some pretty good prices. Unfortunately I havent used any of their stuff. I'll ask around.

Damn man, chill out a little. I thought it was kind of funny. Thats the kind of stuff that keeps this site so interesting and upbeat.
