AJ, I stumbled on your article #18 , Dec 29 news letter on bigblock a body tech which finally describes in words what I am trying to correct in my 408 . I run a 6 pack with big valve factory iron heads, MP 509/ 292 flat tappet, tti step headers , electronic MP ignition. would like to discuss...

Very Helpful! When are you doing Part 2? Glass installation and adjustments? Can't keep the lower guide roller in the lower track either?

Thx for the comments, this is not my first rodeo so I understand the differences between OE and aftermarket bushings , how they work, how to install and maintain them , I have been turning wrenches for more than half a century. When I was reinstalling the rebuild suspension I noticed the...

Great info, Thx TMMike, learned a new trick today at my age , that's good !!!

So I scanned this topic and although I might of missed it I did not see anything in FABO that addresses my question. Recently I was rebuilding my entire front suspension, in the process I was doing the upper CA bushings , replaced them with Energy Suspension urethane pieces. I had looked at the...

I agree with some of the other guy's here, check the header bolts. Especially the outboard end holes. The factory used studs in both ends for 2 reasons, 1 they go into the water jackets, 2 they hung the gaskets on them which makes an eazy job of installing the manifold/ header. Last fall I fired...

I agree with some of the guys comments, in todays world that is a fixable car although it's hard to tell from one pic. Make your Ins Co fix the car , find a replacement or pay up! Good luck!

HI JIM , Can you clarify, you rebuilt your OE MC which was 15/16" bore with Raybestos Kit MK697? The reason I ask is because I have 2 Bendix 1" Bore MC's that I have been trying to find the right rebuild kits for , with no success. The difference between mine and yours is bore size and the...

So some interesting observations here. I note that we 3 have the country covered coast to coast! AA I assume stock with woodgrain insert? I also see that at 1200 rpm you have zero oil P, is this a case of bad IPVR, if so I have the fix. Also I see on the '68 dash the 5 oclock position of the...

What is the factory tach "zero" position for 1970 Rally dash...... 5 oclock or 8 oclock

Just got my new 408 stroker assembled and I am going to run the LA six pack set up so was wondering if anyone out there has a carb tune for this setup? Specifically,What jet size for ctre carb and what vacuum spring color for the out boards? The stroker has MP flat tappet 508 lift cam, about...

Thx all 3 of you, I will be looking now to try and get a better price for a 38 tooth gear than from Classic !!!!

I am running 255 x 60-15" BFG's on rear with 391 SG gears with A 833 4 speed. My FSM chart does not list P- metric sizing because it is for 1971 cars. There is not enough reliable info on the internet to convert the tire size. It looks like a 39 tooth gear should be close to correct my...

I would agree with Daves69, which I also confirmed with the DC boys that the key seems to be to match the coil and ballast resistor ie 1 1.5kohm coil should have a coresponding 1.5 kohm resistor. If you look at the wiring diagram the D69 provided it is the same for both boxes, 12 v in start and...
