    Stuck in 1st gear

    If the linkage is poo, the trans wont fully come out of gear and won’t go into another. Try disconnecting the trans linkage but keep the tab, put the shifter in Neutral and then make sure the two levers, and reverse are disengaged then see how close or loose the linkages are.

    440 Engine Rebuild advice

    After I built mine, I wished I went the stroker route. At the time I was weary of the 440 source stuff, but by the time you source all the **** anyway, it aint far off the sticker price of the stroker

    Webers on a blower??

    Is the SU carb the one on a Triumph Spitfire? It was like a snowmobile or motorcycle carb, with the throttle slide and an oil reservoir that the manual said “use suitable oil”

    Post up pics of your car when you first saw it for sale and when you brought it home

    It’s funny, the ad didn’t say a word about rotten front frame rails, floor, trunk wheel, rockers, rear pan, kmember, quarters, fenders, inner wheel wells or previous vinyl top. All fixed now boy!

    318 Pulley alignment issue...

    Scrap that, I had it backwards. I might have a 318 balancer if you need it. From a 74 teener. Pulleys, I don’t know. I had a similar problem on a stroker I built. I got a wp pulley spacer and cut pieces of a jack handle to space the alt, one of them small one tons, and it lines up great in an...

    Ok, this is what I would do. Take the timing cover, balancer, pulleys, water pump, alt bracket and whatever else from the 318. Buy the 9$ part below and you are back in biz Harmonic Balancer Counterweights - Accessories | CNC Motorsports

    Thoughts on Road Trips to Car Shows in Your Classic

    I won’t take my notch very far, I think I figured 4.5 MPG on a 12 gal well cell. I’m currently building a fb with a magnum 360, I’m hoping a little better on gas, and then, yes I would take that one

    New movie car Duster coming your way!

    The movie generally has a working title and is different when released. I am a set carpenter for IATSE 52. Usually there are 2 or 3 similar cars, one for outside shots, one for shots from the car and one for shots of the people in the car. Some are heavily modified for such purposes. On one of...

    Change the rod bearings and cross your fingers!

    I thought piston knock was only with forged pistons. Let it warm up before you mash the throttle. Adjustable rockers? I had a noise that I thought was a knock, but it was a loose adjuster. I would assume that if the bearings look good, the pin side might be worn. What rods are they? What’s the...

    Lubricate cam bearing od at install

    I wouldn’t use sand paper, my buddy at the machine shop says even scotch brite pads will leave grit in the babbit. I sharpened the end of a 3 sided file and taped the rest. Make great bearing scrapers. Never have I put any astroglide on the bearing before driving it in though. My first...
