It wasn't my idea; I got it from a book, written years ago, by a man way smarter than me. If you get to smacking valves to release the locks, try not to drive them into the piston crowns .........

You got an on-head valve spring compressor? You can't have too much pressure cuz if a valve falls into the cylinder, yur pooched. I use the string method, which involves a woven cloth starter rope from a lawnmower. This makes it impossible to drop a valve.

If yur gonna run in Second gear with 3.55s; realize that the car is geared about 16 mph per 1000 rpm @zero slip. at WOT, that makes about 14.4mph, and so 2000rpm = 28.8mph, 3000= 43.2, 4000= 57.6 and 5000=72 And you have a "stock stall". Ima thinking; SOMETHING has to go. Either the 3.55s, or...

Or maybe you can just take the shock off the bottom stud, and let the rear hang down. Them long studs can be a pita eh.......

The Annunaki want their copper back. It looks like they saw that Non Mopar part, and just tried to recall it. I guess they forgot that they were still in prison.

You know, You can check the pump pressure without taking the trans apart, right ...................... EDIT or down

That was 22 years ago. Engine was freshened a total of 5 times, same way, and now has over 100,000 miles on it. Never had a gasket failure after that, and I reused the 1008s a few times. IMO, If you don't try stuff, you don't learn. Like making babies. I learned that even tho the buy-in on...

I had a similar problem once. I roughed up the decks, installed 1008s, and after torqueing them all to 95, I cranked it up to 105, still not heat-cycled, and loosened/retorqued each one in sequence. Arp bolts with ARP grease. That solved it, even to 195psi.

FWI On a factory car, that runs four same-sized tires, the front brakes do about 85% of the work. On my hi-perf street car, I found that, as the rear tires got swapped ever bigger, I could dial in more and more rear brake, until eventually with 295s, the Rear now has Zero proportioning; and I...

As for a hesitation. If the car hesitates with a slow throttle tip-in, that is called a hesitation or tip-in sag. Almost invariably, this is caused by a failure of the Transfers to respond in a timely fashion; usually because the throttles are too far closed. as for a stumble if when you whack...

PRO-STREET energy pak, 826-72-580 Comes with adjustable Rev-Limiter, by hundreds to 9900. on the base is 37050-8/3240 A anodized blue.

the Amp didn't last very long. ------------------------------------------- I had to ship it back, for warranty, on my dime IIRC. But they fixed it and shipped it back on their dime. While it was away, I reinstalled my Orange box. When the Jacob's got back, I installed it, side-by-side, just...

Yes

Which Super coil? the 14001 is for standard ignition systems not CDI. This is designed for an input voltage of 12 to 15 volts, switched by points or a magnetic trigger. The CDI systems need a specific Coil/E-core coil, to deal with the 525 volts being input to it in near-instantaneous...

my 904-2800 was rated for a slanty. It stalls a lil higher behind my stock 140 psi, 318 but I gotta tell ya, it's just right.. It stalls slightly different with every gear I run it, highest with 2.76s and lowest with 4.30s, but not by much cuz the stock-cam 318 seems to make about the same...

Back in hi-school, 1970, I bought a slightly used 1970 Swinger 340/4-speed/3.55s . We had, nearby, a brand new roadway over a dam, with a beautiful launchpad, lol, long enough that this Dart would lay two beautiful stripes on, for two full gears, using those E70-14 PolyGlass donuts. I knew right...

@Brooks James One of my friends thought he had a hot 340 . His car is almost like mine, a 68, 4-speed street-Barracuda, except his is an iron-headed 340, has a slightly bigger cam, a 2x4 tunnel ram, SS springs, and borrowed 4.30 gears (mine). It looks and sounds, pretty intimidating. My car is...

@Brooks James "Thanks, my springs are also the Hughes 1110" IIRC, the springs on my 367 are also Hughes 1110s, circa 2004. And 5003 lifters, set at 1/2 turn preload. and the cam is HE3038AL .549/.571 @ 1.6 adjustable-arms purchased from Mopar I shimmed mine up a lil. This set-up goes to 7200...

Cragar SS for 5 on 4" bolt circle? Nice score if a lil heavy. They weigh about double of an alloy wheel.

...also installed those problem solvers and got IIRC ~7 degrees castor on one side and maybe 6.5 on the other at Zero camber. By the time I got to 3/4* camber She was down to around 3* castor. So I gave back some camber to get some castor. I mighta ended up around 3.5* castor at or just under...

As to ring gaps yes, the Hypers gotta be right. I installed mine by the book , and had nothing but heat troubles for about ten weeks. and Every time I shut her off I was in for a 10>15 minute wait, before the starter could wind her up again. I tried everything but couldn't get to the bottom of...

It's Ok I rented them out a few times and got my money out of them. Now I use them for parading, and they do pretty good in town.

No sir, stock 1968 arms. But I had to clip the fenders at the bottom front, about an inch wide and an inch and a half tall. I made the trims a lil bigger than they needed to be, cuz I drive a lil crazy sometimes. lol. Not all four wheel are always on the ground and sometimes none are.

Exactly; without traction aide, those will be roasting still at the Eighth mile., probably even on just motor, lol. Try to keep it straight.......... I've been running a 276/286/110 Hydro with .549/571 lift, on the street, since 2004. with OOTB Edelbrocks, that thing is still pulling at 7000...

I wonder if some of you guys mighta dropped the ball on this one. How many 9.5 engines can you actually jump to 11.5 "with no other changes"? I know OP didn't say, but if an SBM, 11.5 has the potential to quickly run the pressure up near to 200 psi; Which I have run BTW, and it was fantastic...

IDK, should fly if the pistons stay straight, lol.

save yourself some money; the Wallace says your Duster at 3300pounds is making 216.64hp, to make 14.95ET: and best ET is predicted to be 14.44. Best ET usually involves SuperStock suspension. which usually means, opening up your wallet really wide. But you know, it's only a calculator, so...

...IMO, the engine is just plain weak. IMO, This is further supported by; A [email protected] cam on a 108LCA, that may be in at around 106 for an Ica of 70*, that is still making 150 psi cranking cylinder pressure; seems pretty normal; therefore, Cam timing is Not something I'd be thinking about just...

I was a motorcycle mechanic for over 30 years. I seen lots and lots like that. IDK what cause it.

cough, cough, is the valve gettin' power and ground? I hadda ask ........
