Just a quick question, on A body hood hinges, do the just flop from side to side with the hood off? Can they be tightened up? thanks

This is kinda of dumb but exackly where do the head dowel pins go? Thanks

Are you running headers or cast manifolds?

I am running 360 engine w/340 HP manifolds in 21/2 pipe back to Magnaflow mufflers with tti X pipe connecting. 21/2 back over the axle to 340 SS tips. Problem is at 1900-2000 rpm down the road makes a drone that don`t go away until at least 2500 rpm. Running 3.55 gears with 14 in tires. I was...

With A500 trans crusing at 2,000- 2,300 RPM there is a bad drone, The rear gears are 3.55 with 26.5 tires. The pipes are 2.50 with Mag mufflers. The question is will either of these two systems ease up the drone? Thanks for your input

There is 4 clyinders with less than 140 PSI which is what the Motors Manual says is correct for a 69 340. And yea the power brakes really suck advancing the timming past 10 degrees does increase vac to 16 inches. but with a 4 row classic ind. radiator with 15 psi cap and a jag fan clutch it does...

4 to 6 times

Test was done dry with the throttle open and cranked 46 times. the vacume was found using a vac guage on the non timed vac port on the front of the 650 elde carb. Timming is set at 10 before tdc

Ran compression test today here is the results 1. 130 PSI. 2. 140, 3. 145 , 4. 140, 5 120, 6 140, 7. 115, 8. 125. Does anyone have any ideas how to cure it. myself just looking I might think rings, except it don`t smoke any. Headgasket maybe. the engine is a 78 360 with indy Xheads with 62 cc...

Compression on a stock 78 mopar 360 with Indy X heads with 62 cc chamber

Ok, Thanks for the info. wasn't sure about how to get the numbers without ripping the heads off,

Just a question, the 78 30 I think had something like 72 cc heads. By using heads with 62 cc`s raise the ratio up from 8.4 to 9.4 or more? Possible a dumb question but I think that the only dumb question is the one you don`t ask. Thanks

Thanks everyone for all the info. I checked the carb mixture screws and adjusted the and now I have 30 plus at 750 now. the brakes work some better but after you hit the brakes o the first time the petal is hard. Thanks again. If anyone has more info it is surly welcome.

Try Mancinni Racing, thath where I got mine for my 340 HP stock cast manifolds

I have a 78 stock 360 with indy x heads, 2.02 and 1.60 with combustion chamber 62 cc`s. running a mp 268/272 with .450/.445 lift, performer rpm intake with 650 elddy carb. Problem is I added power front disc brakes but they don`t stop as well as I think they should. Not sure of compreson ratio...
