I like using Firecore 8mm wires.

Leaky floats?

The nearby dump has a recycling facility where people can take stuff that others “recycle”. Sometimes it is spray paint, bug killer or cleaners. Sometimes it is oil still in unopened containers. There will be some that suggest that you don’t use old oil but my thought is… for a stock vintage...

That’s fuel related. The vacuum advance will have zero effect on idle if on ported vacuum (where it should be for a relatively stock engine) so you’d want the idle fuel and timing sorted out prior to adding it back in to the equation. Yes and adjust the curve with springs. And I’ll add that...

I collected a few of those for my 66 when I first owned it. THey are fun to have in the notebook.

Those would be nice rides, I like the white one too.

My first drive in a 383 ‘67 Coronet I went up on the interstate with a friend as passenger and was going so fast we hit one of the tar expansion joints in a curve and the car jumped two lanes before it sat back down.

Neil, I like your idea!! On my triumph tr6 ,for the trans tunnel, I welded in 1/4 weldable nuts, nutserts sounds easier;) Do you buy those as a kit, like rivets?

Moroso is what i use, work great

Same thing happened to me - 273 and 904. This was a factory flex from 1974 with about 40k on it. 3:23 sg 8-3/4” if that matters. I went SFI (TCI I believe from Summit about $100) and drilled and tapped the converter to 7/16” ARP. No lock tite- I used their grease. I used to drop it to 1st at...

I went 6.51 with my SM heads first time out on a easy foot brake pass. they have a little bit of work done to them.

If you do not have a 74 service manual, send me a PM ("conversation") I have on digital I can copy, but you will need to mail me a thumb drive and return mailer.

Hello all, I have a 75 dart sport with shock bumpers. I have secured a 73 bumper and will be buying a new rear 70-72 bumper. From what I got gathered, I'd just need 70-72 brackets front and rear? I can't find anything 73/74 non shock specific. I know I'll need to fill in the rear for the...

How true is that- GM wires “love you long time.”

There was no innerwebz back in the day, so we used to go to a magazine store or Pep Boys and read their Chilton manual, cuz we were too broke to buy our own copy..

I think calling her a lady is giving her the benefit of the doubt

when i swapped to 4 speed in my 68 valiant i fitted small nutserts to the original floor and tunnel around the new hole. that way i could bolt the 4 speed hump in place which with it removed made installing to shifter rods much much easier. just something to consider before you weld yours in...

Those will not fit the 66’ no bump out

I’m convinced it will run relatively well. But this forum and multiple others are FULL of guys complaining about “soft bottom end” and things like that. It’s rampant. I’m not a Freiberger type who thinks just getting it running is the cats ***. It may be if you are building multiple cars for...

That might say more about the girl than the bike

That is what I was thinking, my buddies stroker, the converter balloned so bad it also took out the thrust bearing along with the flexplate.

Here's an article from Hughes website about measuring the manifold gap.

Looks like a good solid start. I would get it running and moving safely under its own power before randomly tearing it apart.

It just will not work! Call any cam mfg. and ask them. He would be much better off just using a stock 318 cam. I'll bet he could get one on here for free + shipping. You are giving the man the wrong info.

My friends car just ran 6.40 in not the best weather at Norwalk and that would be a 10.0’s in the 1/4. 60 foot times aren’t where they should be yet, only shifting at 6400 rpm with his 408 with ported Edelbrock heads and ported super Victor at 3200 pounds. There’s 3-4 things I Dont like about...

Hard to read, looks like, after short research. 2658920-1 2465315-4 Both threaded for 3/8 intake bolts.

Young lady we know has this posted on the side windows of her car…

You should continue using the vacuum gauge.

don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. you want every last drop of performance? then splash the cash and build that ricky racer motor. otherwise knock it fwd a few degrees and ship that mother trucker. it'll be fffiiiinnnneee.
