    Please help / antifreeze leak

    I too have this exact leak that drips down onto my headers making a rusty water mess all over my pretty headers and back on to my pipes. I have tried new bolts, numerous types of high temp thread sealers and it still happily drips away. Strange that we all have this problem on the same corner...

    Battery Relocation Question

    Does anyone have or know where I can find a good drawing to follow for a safe and efficient battery relocation? I have already started collection bits and pieces for this project but still do not have a clear plan so any help would be much appreciated!

    Lost all Gears?

    OK...So...Got my tranny over to a guy in Cut N Shoot Texas and within about three minutes he had pulled the pump and confirmed to me that this was my problem. Thank you to everyone that commented on this thread and what I would like to do is explain what caused my problem in the first place...

    Lost all Gears?

    I have been thinking (and that is never a good thing) but I am wondering now if I could have tried to check the fluid level in park and not in neutral :-\" If this was the case then maybe my tranny didn't need a full quart of fluid, could this have started or could it be my problem...

    Lost all Gears?

    Went out this morning while it was still cool and the roads were still relatively clear and was just having a nice little cruise around. I started to notice that while taking off at lights that I had to give it a little more rpm before my transmission would kick in and it felt really smooth...

    Timing Issue

    Well I am from Scotland and according to Billy Ray Cyrus (so it must be true...right) the Scott's were the original Hillbilly' (whiskey, fiddles and all that stuff) so this solution might work perfect for me LOL! I will try this tomorrow, Thank You!

    Break Pedal Solid!

    OK...so...Dart has been off the road for about two months while the motor was rebuilt and installed. Engine is running well but it seems my break pedal is stuck solid all the way up (not on the floor) The pedal is normally slightly spongey and was on my list of things to go through but they did...

    Cherry Pink Headers

    I have not made any changes to the carb since I took it off the car which was running pretty good in general before I rebuilt the engine. Could timing alone cause this problem?

    Cherry Pink Headers

    Wow...that is extreme but most excellent news! I am so impressed with the Rust-Oleum high temp paint that I put on those headers, those suckers were glowing bright red and I thought they would look like burnt toast when they cooled down but they still looked as good as new! I will wait till my...

    Cherry Pink Headers

    That is what I am hoping for, something fairly simple. There are things going through my head like being a tooth off on the chain, valves not closing all the way and all that other fun stuff. Thank you for your comment lilcuda!

    Cherry Pink Headers

    So...finally got my rebuilt 318 fired up Saturday late afternoon and with the help of the wife maintaining RPM (2500 - 3000) and keeping a close eye on the gauges for me things were going well until...about ten minutes into it I started to notice in the fading light of day that my newly painted...

    Header Gasket Water Leak

    I think this might be the reason why my heads do no have the studs, there is not a lot of space even with the exhaust bolts loose. The headers are worth the hassle though...:sad1:...right?

    Header Gasket Water Leak

    Pulled all four corner header bolts and used sealer from O'reileys and no more leaks!!! (fingers and toes crossed) Now just have to work on the timing before my headers glow any brighter and set my engine bay on fire :cherry: First 15 minutes of startup went well! Bobby.

    Header Gasket Water Leak

    Getting closer to startup on my new 318 build but I can not get the two header bolt holes at either end of the heads to stop dripping water. I am using the standard Felpro gasket set on my hookers but I have both types of manifold gasket, full length with hooks on each end and the individual...
