I have the Flaming River kit on my '69 Swinger 340. It did require shorting of my steering column. It's been working flawlessly for a couple of years now. I like the fact that it has a sensitivity adjustment knob and the ability to add a speed sensor so you can have more power assist when...

I just found an issue with my buddy's distributor cap. The thing wouldn't start and before the no start situation it was running like crap backfiring and running rich. Long story short I found that the connection from the button that the rotor contacts to the coil connector on top of the...

Saw this on the back of a pickup truck in South Carolina LOL

Here's the schematic.

Flickering lights are caused a lot of times from the ignition switch contacts being dirty or worn. I had the same problem with my car and I've fixed a few of my friends cars but feeding the wire that typically comes from the ignition switch to the regulator through a relay. I'll look for my...

I have one of these in Chrome. It's 130 amps. It keeps up with 2 electric fans, electric power steering, high output headlights, fuel injection with electric pump and audio amplifier. Any alternator will only supply what the car's electronics demand up to the maximum output of the alternator in...

I'll feel better when you put the hood on. Remember what I said about sealing the hood to the rad support.

Are those temperatures with the hood opened or closed? If they're with it open, close the hood and see if it gets worse, I'll bet it does. If so then try stuffing a couple of towels in between the hood and the rad support. Should be better.

Your very welcome. Zero dollars to try the towel thing. Also it doesn't matter if you have a fiberglass or steel hood, if that seal is missing it's going to make your car run hotter. There's a reason that Ma Mopar put them there. Trust me if it wasn't needed they wouldn't have spent the money to...

Just out of curiosity, Do you have a seal on the bottom of the hood that seals against the radiator support? I have found that when idling with the hood open there's no issue and the engine will run at a reasonable 180-190° BUT if that seal isn't present what happens is heat from under the hood...

Premium 93 Gas $1.77/Gal (ALL GRADES) courtesy of Sheetz! I live near Pittsburgh in Butler. Sheetz has done this before, what a great company. This is their Independence Day gift. Wasn't too bad of a line (about 3 deep for each pump) so I didn't have to wait long. I filled my Dodge Caliber R/T...

Break out the Beach Boys hit......Round Round, Big and Round She's big and round.

Here's a picture of my 418 stroker. We moved all of the wiring and electrical components (starter relay, voltage regulator etc.) to a panel under the dash.

Hey Guys, I'm posting this add for a friend of mine. This engine was removed from his 17,000 mile 1977 Chrysler LeBaron. This engine is a Lean Burn so it's not a hot rod engine but it is a very quiet and smooth running engine for a daily driver or cruiser. You could probably change the heads to...

They turbocharged minivans as well. This thing does a better burnout than a lot of muscle cars LOL
