Just wanted to give a report I reset the timing to 9 degrees BTDC and rechecked the all in with my dial back and it reads about 38 degrees when all in and test drove it no pinging thanks for all the help Pat

When I said that it pinged it only did it slightly when I climbed a hill. Like I said before I have another car that I drive it is a 67 and it has a stroker 408 in it the difference so far between those two motors is night and day the 318 is a dog compared to the 408 and maybe it’s because I...

I forgot to mention i’m also Running electronic inigtion and a Mopar chrome box with a Mopar performance distributor. To answer one question it is setting at the first hash past the middle on the gauge and stays there all the time. I remember when we first started the motor up and the engine...

My original post i was asking where i should set the timing at for a basic stock 318 2 barrel 904 automatic duel exhaust. I have a 67 that has a 408 stroker in it and has distributor from FBO using full engine vacuum and it runs pretty good but as far as understanding how to set up a distributor...

I have a duel exhaust on it Pat

I’m still running the two barrel on this car so what i’ve Read I need to bump up my timing i’m Sitting at 0 right now at idle thanks for the advice Pat

I also noticed that according to the stock temp gauge showing rung warm I’m using a 190 stat which is what the service manual recommends. Don’t have a temp gauge but just know it shows temp running high if that helps with information Pat

i have a 69 318 that had a complete refresh basically a stock set up may have slightly larger pistons due to wear on the bore but a stock cam. The 69 service manual says that the timing should be set at 0 top dead center. The first test drive noticed while climbing a hill it pinged so what do...

Thanks Brian T that is exactly what I was asking which plug everyone was using currently I'm using what the head manufacture is recommending which is the Champion RC12YC now the next question is what are you gapping the plugs at? I know that I have been gapping them at 37 which is what the...

on my 408 I'm running eddy aluminum heads eddy air gap and was running a 750 quick fuel carb. I'm getting ready for my winter project so I'm going to switch over to fuel injection TB system from Bill Hamilton fuel injection who i got hooked up with through this sight. I pulled the number one...

I have run into the same problem with a set edel brock heads. I have a 408 stroker and decided to install a set of 60779 heads for a 360 and while i was installing them I noticed how flat they are compared to the stock heads. When I went to fire the motor up I had the same noise. The engine...

Hey all I have an issue that I wondering if any one else has run into this. I installed a set of eddy 60779 heads on my stroker 408 small block this winter and when I went to start it up it sounded like a sewing machine. It is a 1975 block it came out of a van I'm running a comp cam XE268H...

I have been in contact with edelbrock on the issue with the alternator bracket and they suggested to use an after market bracket that year one sells and when you look it up it mentions for use with aluminum water pump so, the gest of the problem is when you use this bracket you are sticking the...

Hey all I'm in the process of installing a set of eddy 6077 heads with a air gap intake on a 408 stroker motor and when I went to install my alternator i discovered that the heads stick out to far on the bottom so there is no clearance for the alternator to swing down into place. Has anyone ran...

You guys keep saying to torque the pan gasket? The small block specs say to torque the oil pan to 15 ft lb don't you guys think thats a little high most torque wrenches don't go to 15 ft lb the ones i own any way. I have a inch torque wrench so, what would 15 ft lb equate to in inch pounds? the...

Who makes "The Right Stuff" ?

I know that I have asked this before but, what I'm looking for is what is the proper way to install the gasket. Do you put a skim coat of a certian kind of sealer on or do you install it dry? Do you hurry and put it together right away after you put a skim coat of sealer on? or no sealer at all...

You know now that you said that the front main in the middle where the oil is leaking the rubber is pushed outward just a tad and the paint isn't on that part of the seal anymore. Right at first the rear started leaking just enough that when I drove it oil would coat the bottom of the dust...

I just had the motor rebuilt this last winter so I know that the rear main seal was changed.

Front and the rear main

I'm also running a stock Oil pump but, with high oil pressure at 1000 rpm I'm running 45LB and at 3000rpm I'm up to 60 to 80lb. I have good oil pressure.

I may try that and see if that solves it. thanks .My next project car is a 69 rag top red with a white top: is yours a 68? Nice Car!

I will pick up some black RTV and give it a try when I change out the gasket this winter. I use the black wrinkle mopar performance valve covers and I had a problem before with the valve covers leaking using the cork gaskets so, I went with the rubberized ones and it solved my leaking valve...

I still have the original pcv valve and I'm planning on putting it back in. I picked up a chrome one from a speed shop this summer and have been using it and that might be one of the problems. Thanks

I did put a new pan on it and I had the same problem and when I put the new gasket on the new pan I also checked to make sure all the holes were straight and not pushed in.

Chenoweth speed and machine I highly recommend them. They have a very shop and you can read about them in Mopar Muscle they placed second in the engine building contest for building a big block. They are in this years contest to build a killer small block.

I have had this motor for ten years. It used to leak at the rear of the motor and I changed the gasket twice and still could not get it to stop leaking. Than this winter rebuilt motor to a stroker 408 and it started leaking in the rear again so I tried to go through and tighten all the bolts now...
