    Annoying ticking sound while driving.

    I've heard that a time or two; but I can't remember it. Lemmee think on it. Can you feel it on the shifter?

    What hose is this?

    ...As the air temp gets colder your carb will run ever leaner, until it starts to complain by misfiring. AND There is a good chance that right around 0*C to maybe plus 3>5, with high humidity, your carb will go into a condition called "icing"; in the which real ice forms on the edge of the...

    Anyone know anything about Subarus?

    I just like the Lagacy wagons for their old-man friendly interiors, and slow-to rust bodies. That they have arguably the best AWD system, to me, is of no great importance. It's coming out. But they come with six cylinders at least and I hate the sound of 4-bangers no matter how well they are...

    Tf 727 modify or not

    and a 2800 convertor, and a semi-auto shifter that you can hold to say 5000. and you may need a governor tune-up But if you want to hit 5000, you'll probably need some better valve springs. Why 5000? Cuz on the 1>2 shift from 5000 the Rs will fall to 2950, putting your 318 350 rpm up the...

    Brake pedal won't return

    I did not know this; thanks for the lesson.

    Brake pedal won't return

    Hang on, here's another option; if the pushrod, coming from the master cylinder is adjusted too long; the compensating-Port will not work, and so, as the friction pads/shoes wear, the pedal will naturally sink ever lower, as more and more fluid from the power chamber, moves towards the slave...

    HUMMING NOISE

    It very well could be as poster #2 says But I'm gonna tell you a story of what happened to me. I'm going with a bad pattern on the coast side of the R&P. Sometimes that's just the way it is. My 3.55s have been doing it for all of 25 years. It's not really a bad pattern; I've adjusted it...

    Anyone know anything about Subarus?

    Well I wouldn't put one in the mini-mee; but Ima thinking maybe an outback, or a Legacy; they look pretty sweet

    Tune up questions

    I run 12/34 in my hi-pressure 367 combo too, and with the VA modified to 22* on the spark-port, set to come in quick and fast; and with the Airgap and a 750DP. IMO, timing is NOT your problem, (unless the engine is in detonation which is hard to imagine at 34* and 4000rpm). 12* is plenty enough...

    Rebuilt A 833 front oil leak

    From the factory, IMO, that larger diameter gasket is too thin, and when you torque the tube, it tears the paper. Furthermore, From the factory, IMO, there is too much preload on that spring, which makes it less than easy to select reverse. So, what I do, is get rid of the paper gasket and...

    "Idiot light" vs. Oil Pressure Gauge

    How often will you look at a gauge? I have the Factory Rally Cluster, and I rarely look at the gauges. If my engine went down, I wouldn't know it till it was down, even if I had 4" gauge up on the dashpad. The only gauges I check regularly are 1) the Speedometer; 25 years and not one speeding...

    Rear end advice for racing with a 4 speed

    I got about the same power, but I don't race. Well one day I did, back in 2004. I made 4 passes on an old airport runway, no prep. Car went 93 in the Eighth. My axles are Resplined C-body axles, in a narrowed rear; I don't have your kind of problems. I gotta get me a pair of those tires...

    Engine Install from the Side

    Dropping the body down on the engine/trans worked pretty easy for me, but I was nearly 20 years younger at the time. Somebody should make a line-up cradle.

    Does the mini starter change the "Chrysler sound" of start up?

    I never liked the sound of the Mopar starter and the first time I heard the Dakota-mini, I was on the hunt for a cheap used one,.

    Deep pan Not needed on this combo unless towing. and the pan shown is not actually for cooling Same for an auxiliary oil-cooler; not needed unless towing. If towing then should have both but, still need Factory in-rad cooler for winter, now used as a pre-heater. >Do NOT run without something...

    Any idea where I can find a spindle for my 1970 plymouth duster

    It would appear that some FABO members are confused as to what you actually want. Well maybe just one, lol. But, Have you already taken the caliper off to verify that it is NOT the guilty culprit? The reason I ask is cuz in 50 years I have never seen a seized spindle-bearing, whereas I have seen...

    Hurst mounting torque

    Whoa hang on Those Screws are supposed to have conically shaped star washers on them, and since they are Allen sockets, you cannot overtighten them without stripping the sockets. Without the washers and/or without a locking agent they WILL come loose, not good. I did not say "may come loose" I...

    Self-centering (or lack thereof) in park and camber / caster / toe settings

    Maybe but more likely the Power piston has air in it or just has sealing issues.

    Powell Machine had some storm damage but let's talk cams anyway.

    well, he was talking about TWO (or Three) events, and how to fill the time between them, for the Cam-Challenge. I'm just a shade-tree mechanic, and I understood exactly his point, and those exact points are what I used to select cams for my cars over the years; as I learned what he also did. It...

    3.91s in my 340 now!

    ...which also seems to feel faster, and 3.91s are getting close to being perfect for most streeters; 65mph in Second being about 5100 rpm. ********************************* I have had a lotta 340 A"s, always with a 4-speed, and usually with either 3.23s or 3.55s; and with the 340 factory cam...

    Stock Exhaust Gaskets w/Headers?

    My experience is the same as responders 2>4; stock or cheap gaskets without silicone will not last. I have had some success with hi-temp RTV/silicon yes, but clean up is a pita I install studs into the end holes of the header flanges of the heads, then notch my gaskets to fit. This lets me...

    Mystery plug on Honda Generator

    5000 watts/220v is 22.7 amp capacity; which, as to resistance heating or motor capacity, is not much. **************************** In winter, we'd have to move into the room where the fridge and freezer are, lol. But yes, it will keep my fridge/freezers cold and a lotta lotta LED bulbs. I put...

    Water Leak question...

    Solid clamp-load, no deformed regular washers dropping into adjustment slots; ring a bell? I use them wherever I can, like on alternator brackets, carb bases, etcetera; anything that needs periodic adjustment or repeated removal. I thought it was a great idea! but if you think I should go...

    Thrust issues with AFR gauge and Brawler carb

    In my limited experience, O2 sensors are as good as useless with a closed throttle and a cam with a generous overlap. What I mean is this; the O2 may or may not be telling the truth, but what are you gonna do about it? You the tuner still need to chose a path, and there are too many paths...

    Does this prove David Vizard's 128 lsa formula ?

    See, there you you go again, blinded by your own rage. Humble people do not profess their humility. I'm sorry that your heart cannot accept any truth but your own date-stamped pictures. My job is not to prove my innocence. Your job is to prove me a liar. Your opinion is not a truth...
