To add another point, pun intended, to the discussion. I had a 55 Chevy with a 265 and 3 speed stick. It would foul the plugs and run bad. I put a dual point mallory distributor in and it cured my problem.

You realize we're talking about 54 years ago. He was in the electrical union so money was no object. He never told me what he paid and they pretty much only did Chevy's back then. My 68 Road Runner was running great, especially after I beat a 427 full size Chevy, so being in the Service I had no...

It sounds like you're in Park. I forget with shift lever on the tranny has to be forward or rear ward to come out of park. If it's forward now pull it to the rear and wheels should turn. In any gear wheels should turn, just not in park.

Are you using a known good starter? I would back it out to make sure it would run unbolted from the engine. Can you turn the engine over by hand to make sure it's not frozen. Just trying to cover the basics that can cause a starting problem

For 40 years I was using the wrong PS belt. It was pretty much not letting me adjust tension properly. It was also a 3/8" wide where now I have the 1/2" wide and adjustment is now in the middle of the bracket slot. I wrote the # down in my book but I doubt I'll ever need another new one. I keep...

I have a gen 2 hemi, that I used all the pulley's off a 383 with the Saginaw pump. Everybody called for a 39 1/2" pump belt, but I had to get a 44" to get it right. Local auto stores are phasing out belts, because the serpentine belt is the now in belt. I used a string around the pulley's to get...

With the distributor in the rear on a small block, nothing but a pain to check points and worse if it is 2 sets.

I had a 71 Duster 340, I bought new, and it had a single point distributor. I put in the electronic setup and really woke that motor up.

Regarding 1 wire ballast, unless you change ignition, you'll need 2 wires for ballast and coil.

Being a hundred miles from Englishtown never heard the part of the kids not wanting to continue the race part of it. But every time I went there a new development was under way. I know the traffic getting in and out was a night mare with a single lane on Texas Rd.. The residents there must have...

So as you see nothing is cut and dry changing somethings on our old cars. Change one thing and it opens a can of worms. I went from drums to 11 3/4 discs on a 71 Cuda, but it had 15" wheels already so no problem.

You may have to go to 15" wheels to use the 11 3/4 rotors.

That's what happened to Englishtown raceway. I first started going there in the mid 80's and it was in the boon docks. I believe in the 90's they started building around there like crazy. The land then becomes too valuable, and the racing stops and they rent the land to store cars. They still...

If when cold you get the shot of gas in the carb, Make sure you have 12 volts in the crank position on the coil. it'll be less in the run position. You could run a 12volt jumper from battery to positive side of coil to see if that is the problem. If starts right up trouble shoot wiring problem...

Cable would have a clip that snaps onto speedometer head.

As a Mopar enthusiast, I am always glad to hear we put an opposing Mftrs car on the trailer. Congratulations on a well-deserved win.

Can you tell us name of the oil pan in case someone may have the problem you encountered. I bought a Kevko pan, haven't installed it yet, but hope it's not theirs. By the way their packaging sucks because mine would up with a dent on the bottom. They don't insulate the pan from the outside box.

QJ's started in 85 through 89. Then TBI came into existence on the 360 after the QJ.

I believe the Lil Red Truck engine was the E58.

Thank the Govt. from preventing the E55 in anything but a truck. Cars were limited because of emissions. Trucks at that time had no limitation on emissions because they were work vehicles.

A 5 bolt head would also be a nice addition to all of the above.

Could it be Summit was getting complaints on the valve body and returns, now they send it to Broader and that's when the s---t hit the fan. Now, Broader realizes what has happened and knowing he doesn't sell to Summit opened the can of worms . Summit may not have realized what Speedmaster was...

I feel bad for the honest guy trying to make a living selling a great product that works and gets ripped off by a copy that doesn't work. Now his Co. gets the bad rap. Glad to see Summit do the right thing.

I just ordered a belt for my PS and it is coming from Texas, so almost a week away. Ordered on 4/13 and due 4/18 or the 19th. Their not sure when it'll get here. I might not have ordered it if I knew it was a week away coming from TX. The other bad part was no local parts store had it.

They sent me the code and I didn't realize I've been a 15 year customer.

Because he wired to the wiper resistor, turn on wipers when cranking and maybe it'll fire. There's so much to learn when dealing with cars, especially when torn apart and rewired, but you did the right thing by asking and showing us what you are doing.

As long as it isn't a thin cast housing and manifold is clean you'll be good to go. All those cheap chrome housings warped and were the problem of sealing and even the stock Mopar housings were warping.

I had a 75 Plymouth with the 100 amp alternator and at 120,000 miles had to replace the brushes for $1.00 around 1985. They were rugged alternators.

I put the rear wheel liners on my 05 Ram 1500 and they protect inner part of wheel housing and also covers the frame.

Chrysler had a problem with the 2.2 head gaskets when they first came out in the early 80's because they were using 10mm head bolts. They then switched to 11mm bolts to solve the problem. My 83 was warranted to 50,000 miles and gasket went out at 49,000 so fortunately covered under warranty. I...
