    Air in cooling system

    So today I was trying to access some bolts on the air intake. (It's a Monday, so I'm not thinking straight) I started removing what I thought was the heater tube (actually coolant tube from the intake to the water pump). I pulled it off and surprise! about 1/3 of a cup of coolant came out. I...

    "Custom" Shift Linkage

    The wire prevented it from turning over. It is still mis-aligned, but I will have to fix it the next time it is on a lift. It will be much easier to access then, since the headers won't be in the way so much .

    "Custom" Shift Linkage

    It turns out the problem was likely a dirty / faulty connection between the battery and solenoid. I cleaned the wire that was connected to the solenoid and battery and now it works fine. thank you

    New valves/ valve springs with new cam?

    https://m.summitracing.com/parts/sum-k50062 here's the link to the cam. It is made specifically for the car. Also, I looked under the suggested and required parts and did not find any spring sets. Any help ?

    New valves/ valve springs with new cam?

    Ok. Also, the cam I am looking at says a 2500+ stall converter is needed. I currently have a stock 1967 727 with a shift kit. Is a 2500 torque converter really necessary in this case?

    New valves/ valve springs with new cam?

    Thank you! Should the new springs be "upgraded" springs or are replacement springs ok?

    New valves/ valve springs with new cam?

    I currently have an RV cam (not sure of the specs) in a 318 from 1967. I am thinking about upgrading the cam to a summit racing cam (285 duration, .480 lift) or maybe something bigger than that. Would I need new valves or valve springs ( I think the current ones are stock)? Also, would anything...

    "Custom" Shift Linkage

    Ok, thank you. I will try that. Are there any "risks" in changing the shift linkage when it's on the car ?

    Engine doesn't turn over easily

    I took care of the seatbelt interlock already. I found out the buzzing noise was just a loose nut in the dashboard (whoops!). So I think it wouldn't turn over because of the funky shift linkage
