What parts are gold-plated?

With the engine not running, that is normal. Start it up and test it again. You can Modify that box to make it better but, you cannot eliminate it, because the boost control valve needs some rotation to activate the Power-Piston.

Internet, TV, and landline; $165C per month. Yeah I'm retired too, and I feel it; so, I farm out my skills, for eggs, milk, and bread. I don't smoke nor drink, and my hotrod is parked, so, we're getting by.

Which cam? IMO; running just 160 psi with the alloy heads, would be a gross unfairness to them, as would running less lift than at least what the Edelbrock springs are capable of. As to the 718001 cam; Installed with an Ica of 68* the V/P ratio is predicted to be 126, about the same as a 5.2...

@Newbomb Turk Is that a race car then? or a two-cylinder? or a 6000 pound barge? I ran that 15/1 for a few weeks and couldn't stand it. A decent hi-pressure 360 like mine hardly cares anywhere between 9 to 11. I prefer a 10/1 cuz I don't have to shift 2 car-lengths out, in town. I actually ran...

And on that note, my Nickle-plated TTI's fit pretty good. 360/A833, p/s, pdb, 68 Barracuda with a 70 Duster K, and 73 steering, on the 70 biscuits with the spool mount at the back. Initially, I used the Mopar starter, but when it died, I switched to the Dakota ministarter. and I do not use the...

Even the Mopar 3.09 is a bit much for anything over 3.55s, unless you have an engine with a really sucked out bottom end. I mean I really enjoy my 11/1 starter gear because with 185psi CCP, it's a dump-it-and-go deal; but really, it's way more starter than I need. On the other hand, a 4/1 low...

Just so you know; the stock 5.9 has more than enough grunt to run any A833 4-speed, with any rear gear, in any A-body; and there are 4 SBM ratios to chose from. ...... and they fit like a glove ...... and on the street, they scoff at 450 ftlbs...

Assuming that; you installed the disc with the flywheel side to the flywheel and the BH is correct for the input retainer, and the over-center spring is installed on the Pedal assy and the downrod does not rub on the firewall, at full travel Then Make sure your Zbar is anchored on the...

Which Edlebrocks; the open chamber 340 heads; or?

I'm only 71, and my HO 367 is stone-axe reliable, goes 93 in the Eighth. It is now old and tired and rusty as heck, so I don't drive it much anymore. However, I would still not be afraid to drive it anywhere as I have in the past. It was built in 1999, and all bugged out by 2004, and now only...

My engine has a 276/286/110 cam and hydraulic lifters, and was initially set-up at 1/4 turn preload. This quickly proved to be inadequate, as soon after break-in it began to tick. I reset the preload to 1/2 a turn. And so it was quiet for a long time. Eventually, I got the idea that if I ran...

8* of stretch is not gonna make it run funny, but the 8* of timing change will!, lol

Just saying My 68 Barracuda has the KH 4-pistont calipers and rotors, that I pirated from a 70 Duster. I swapped the Dual Diaphragm out for a 73>75 Single, I think it camo from an F-body. The M/C was pulled from a mid 70s car. The Combination valve was pulled from a box of used stuff I had...

Nice cam specs, I ran something like that in my 11.3/1 alloy-headed 367, and I absolutely loved it. I was very sad when it dropped lobes.

I haven't read the entire thread, so this may be redundant, but here goes; Before I start; I remind you that most brake-fluids eat paint, so you know, if you spill some, wipe it off ASAP. The booster works by introducing atmospheric air into one half of a pressure chamber, the other half of...

How much are TTIs now? or Dougs? compared to a nice set of 340 iron logs? You're paying a lotta money for the logs and giving up a lotta torque/power, throughout the rev range. Any header is better than no header. Jus saying. ------------------------------------- While the 340 logs are adequate...

In my younger days; I would put my big 1/2 drive Johnson-bar on there, put the bar on the frame, and hit the starter. Bam!, the bolt was loose, and the bar was on the ground. Obviously, you can't tighten it that way, but if I could I would. But what I have done is put a bar on the flywheel to...

Here are the 1969 specs, For the 727; Front clutch/standard; 3disc is; .036 to .085; per disc equals .012>.028/average is .013 4disc is; .024 to .125; per disc equals .006>.031/average is .019 Front/hi-perf; 4disc is; .066 to .123; per disc equals .016>.031/average is .024 5disc is; .022 to...

Here's something to consider; New brakeshoes never match used drums. That is to say, if you lay a new shoe into an old drum, and manage to not hang it up on the ridge, it will rock up and down the friction surface. This means that the shoe is only contacting the friction surface over a tiny...

You and I are are good. We are mostly on the same page. If I was a teenager, you could be my best friend. We could be beer buddies, except neither of us goes for that. I guess we could be pen-pals, like in the private conversations area. Oh wait, I think we've traded enough conversations, to...

Here's something else; The Slanty clutch pedal ratio is different from a V8-pedal. Maybe that translates in to the freeplay issue as well. Here's what's important; after the Z-bar is installed and all the linkages etc. are hooked up, and the freeplay is adjusted; the Fork needs to be all the...

With 25.5" tires and the standard 2.76 gears, 65= 2368@ zeroslip, say up to 2440 on the tach. Kicking it down manually should get you ~3600 which, while not screaming, is easily noticed as abnormal. More likely is that First gear is not working, which would be really sluggish on take off...

IMO; This is actually a great idea. The factory gear ratios in the A250/A903 are; 3.18/3.22/2.95 First/1.83 Second/and of course 1.00 Third. and in the overdrive are; 3.09-1.67-1.00-.73 But whereas 3.23s are singing 65= 2775 with 25.5" tires; the overdrive knocks that down to 65=2026. However...

What pistons are in it? If KB107s, the catalog numbers for skirt clearance and ring-gap factor, IMO are too tight. If you test the turning torque, do it cold AND hot. If the pistons swell up or the rings get to butting, it will only show up on a hot engine. Just So you know; I also have a bored...

Using your method, it's hard to say. I have never used your method. And I can't get sense of how you wrote it; In the same sentence, the piston is at the top, then it is coming up. So, wth stroke is it on at what time? Looking at the factory 318 cam specs, with the cam installed 4* advanced, the...

Ok so just to get the terminology squared away; Everybody I know, when talking about tires, never mentions the tread size. But, the profile width is an ethereal number, that is only accurate when the tire is installed on the checking wheel, on which it was installed, at the tire factory. Now...

Are you thinking of installing a tire with a 9" tread onto a 7" wheel? Or one with a 9" profile? Cuz, a 9" tread will have a profile about 1.5 inches wider, so say 10.5, which translates to about 267, which rounds up to a 275. But, a 275 on a 7" rim, at normal tire pressure, will pull the edges...

You may be thinking in terms of just one problem; whereas I'm thinking in terms of any combination of problems. In my experience, with a 318, there is easily room in the P/V clearance for the cam-chain to jump several teeth, and, the 318engine will keep running with retarded cam-timing...
