Please tell me you didn't get one of those over price pieces of crap timing lights from Schucks Auto Supply. I made that mistake before and the thing never read right or even close!

I would try what michformulaS just suggested and if it still leaks track down one of the stock plates but before you put it on drill 4 extra holes (one between each of the existing holes). It just gives you a little more flow. I have always had the best luck using the Wix short filters when I...

Get the Larry Shepard book "How to Hot Rod Small-Block Mopar" !!! I have rebuilt a bunch of smallblocks and I still pull it off the shelf every time!

Thats how it was on the Ford 390 I had it on. It would just keep pulling even at 70 on the freeway it just wanted to go, the only thing that held it back were the rear gears.

I ran one on a bone stock 390 ford with a Carter 650 carb and a 1" 4 hole spacer, it ran great! I have one on a 350 chevy that has a mild cam that I am building for my buddies 64 Impala. I have never run one on a mopar but I wouldn't hesitate to try I would just suggest that you play around...

It's just 2 holes that need to be drilled and tapped, no big deal. I just bought one off fishy68 for my 360. I ran a Pete Jackson noisy gear drive on a 350 that I built when I was 13 and loved it. Last I heard that motor ended up in a Toyota pick up. From the CAT website...

What will you get the most use out of?......There is your answer.

Wire wheel on a drill.

Block is a 76 360 as is the crank. I use rubber main seals not rope! Ford FE motors used rope seals and when it comes time to change them it is easier to pull the motor out than it is to change the seal in car/truck. You can never get all that crap out of there.

If it doesn't make the extra ponies you could at least use it as a weapon in some post apocalyptic war zone! :snakeman::bootysha::-D

I'm paying $94 to have a slant six crank turned right now. I just gave $34 to have new cam bearings put in. I would find a 360 out of a truck or something from the mid 70's. They can be gotten fro around 200 bucks running. The last one I had done a few years ago was block and heads hot...

:-D I need to make a thread that I can just unload my whole "Tech" folder into. Its got Ford stuff, chevy stuff, mopar stuff, hot rod stuff, a crapload of pics, all sorts of neato stuff that I find on the interweb.

:-D :toothy10:

100% correct! Dates should only matter if you have a super rare car or you are going for a 100 point restoration where you are anal about factory pant drips. I have a 1976 360 in the garage that is 40 over and it was my daily driver (driven very hard) for about 7 years with no problems.

Unless someone has replaced the rocker arms with adjustable ones they are non adjustable. Just don't over tighten them, no more that 18ft lbs. on the rocker shaft to head bolts or they will twist right off and you will have to drill and tap over and over again.

What kind of motor, year? We need more info. I'm guessing it is a slant six by the pic in your avatar, if that is the case and the motor was built before 79 then you have solid lifters and valves should be set at 10-12 intake and 20-22 exhaust.

In the past I have always gone all the way when rebuilding a motor and sent the crank out with the block for machine work but with the slant for the 66 I am doing the bare minimum. I have a set of standard main and rod bearings coming and I just wanted to clean up the crank. So what would you...

I cleaned mine out with an Edelbrock intake :-D

Utter and total crap carbs with **** for customer service! They are nice to look at, have very smooth action but are crap if you plan on driving your car. If you do get one take it all apart and make sure that there isn't any sand still inside! :thebirdm: Demon carbs!

You don't need to get rid of your chrome T-stat housing or your chrome valve covers. I have run many of them on different engines and have never had a leak. All you do is take some 80 grit sticky back sand paper, stick it to a table top or anything flat and sand in an X pattern until the chrome...

That works :-D

I'm not Canadian.

I think the hardest part of the whole job for me is finding my magnet on a stick so I can pull the dist drive gear and reset it.

LOL, I hope the pics are correct, I ran that motor without the T-ram for a long time set like that as a daily driver and it ran great!

Edelbrocks Are Better!!!! No Holleys Are Better!!! Lol

This is the way I have set up all my smallblocks in the past and I have never had a problem. #1 at TDC

Nope that is the only info we have from a Mopar Muscle feature... http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/featuredvehicles/f_m_j_body/mopp_0703_1976_plymouth_volare/index.html The current owner got it from the guy that built it back in Florida and the car burned up Friday 2 weeks ago. All I...

With this info alone what do you think a rough estimate of the horsepower would be? A 408 ci based on a LA small-block, bored and cleared to fit a 4-inch Comp crank. New Eagle 6.123 connecting rods, Diamond 9.8:1 compression pistons, and a Comp Cams hydraulic .510-lift camshaft provide the...

Sounds normal to me. I would burp the system just to be on the safe side, top it off then drive the wheels off.
