Thanks Gamedog, thats sound advice. Thats who I sourced them from. Brians a great guy and a busy guy. I figured I'd check the forums first. Easier to get a visual with pictures and such, rather than over the phone (might have to call and then correspond via email). Not sure if he frequents the...

At this point, I'm just doing some gasket matching, pushrod relief, valve boss blending. My question is, do I dare touch the short turn/bulge further past the pushrod tubes? I plan to do some bowl/seat work on the exhaust bowls, but the intake bowls look plenty good ootb. Any advise is...

I guess Im not even sure what controls line pressure. I've heard/read about the solid spacer deal. Although not sure what benefit it would have. I know when people bump the LP too much, they start cracking/calking piston. I'll have to look into it all again, its been a while. I plan to upgrade...

I would, but Im just gonna build the 46. I think if I lay of the loud peddle it should get me through the winter.

Im kinda curious as to what it does. I have the torqueflight book (with the A body Cuda launching) probably explains it in there. Been a while since I read through it. Its a TF-2, and came with a spacer. I just pulled a cushion spring from a 518 I have. Stiff lil spring that's for sure...

My front clutch is on borrowed time as it flares in 3rd. So to bandaid it I decided to throw in a transgo SK I had laying around. Upon removing the low/reverse piston, I discovered the cushion spring was broke. Any Idea what could cause this, or is it just common from fatigue. What might be some...

I understand the higher the ratio, the tighter the band clamps the drum and quicker it shifts. But, why so many different ratios? Is a 5.0 too much for the street? How hard would it shift? Any other input is much welcomed. Thanks

Got one, just haven't hooked it up yet. I thought when the base of the plug (what the grnd strap is welded to) is fully sooted its actually a lil too rich, but for a DD is good. Like I said, this set was idled/cruised/wot so its hard tellin. I was more worried about if the porcelain was showing...

#2 #4 #6 #8

I don't see any obvious signs of pre-ignition/detonation. Not sure why #5 and #8 porcelains are so white. The base of the plug indicates their happy. These plugs aren't really a good indicator to fuel mix as they've been idled, cruised, and wot. I didn't get to look with a magnifying glass, but...

Im no expert either, but I know what detonation sounds like. It didn't like 44, got slight ping @ WOT. I will agree that 42 IS a shipton. After driving around today, she was giving me fits starting. So I'll have to back it off some. Yep, powerbond, couldn't think of it. Idk if its the bees...

Yeah its a great design, although Im a lil concerned about the board frying. Evidently people have found that enough carbon dust can short it out. Makes me want to lather it in silicon. One thing I did notice, is the chevy style hold downs for the cap don't seat the cap all that tight. I can...

Hey guys, I just installed an E Curve dizzy. Those who don't know, its a digital diz with its own built in ign module. It allows the user a variety of custom tailored advance curves that you set by following a graph with corresponding letters and numbers that you then set with little dials under...

Turned out to be my dizzy and potentially a bad coil as that too was leaking. Put in a MSD E Curve distributor and HV coil and she runs great :D. I've never been so happy. Thanks again everyone

What is that
