There's a pop off valve at the pressure switch that is supposed to bleed the head pressure off when the compressor cuts off when it hits max pressure on the cutoff switch. Try pulling the ring on it and see if it relieves any air from the pump.

What caused that?

Thanks for weighing in Johnny Mac, it's good advice, I'm going with a junkyard engine. I've been happy with the power of my current 318 that developed a crack in the block after 2 seasons and 5000 miles. My oldest son and I rebuilt it together, it was my first fully built engine and his too at...

This I guess is what I was hoping to hear, but needed to hear it from someone who has actually done it. Or I would have been happy to hear the opposite opinion of someone who did it without success, just to rule out the possibility of doing it, but definitely not as happy as in the former

We put a bead of high temp silicone around the water ports in between the layers and just copper coat the gasket faces when installing. We don’t reuse them as we’re building racing engines. But would have no problem reusing for a street car engine.

@RAT ROD AL and @moparmat2000 might be able to help.

If you are going to tow with it use a 4 inch crank. Edit: yes I saw the no stroker in your post. I say don’t step on your dick. The cost to do a 4 inch cast crank isn’t bad. If you are rpm limited then adding stroke is the best end around option.

Yeah, the valves actually rattle with the springs off, lol. No delusions there. The Army dash tag says "Do not exceed 60 mph" LOL. It'll be turning 2800 @ 65 on the highway. Can't say I'd want to drive it any faster.

$1K would be getting off lightly.

Not really. Open ignorance isn’t fun. Why in 2025 anyone would think you can’t use synthetics in these boxes is a fool. I never said it saves parts. But it sure makes them easier to shift. Since 1979 I’ve been doing it with at least 3 different brands. But because someone says it can’t be...

I guess i forgot the water aspect of it

The deck was, and I used the trick flow heads out of the box. The finish on them seemed smoother than the deck though I did not use a profilometer to check either

Dam-it!

Beat me to it!

Electric heater in the fireplace, throwing smoke/flames. Coffee table has no legs on one end. Dad appears to be holding newspaper upside down.

sounds about ballpark to me

no, standard shafts.

yes. sort of. i have the wheels, but i don't have tire options that really work for what i want. thus, exploring 17" which will retain the look i'm going for while opening up better options of tires. a delicate dance... and i'll still probably wind up spending a smooth G on rims. woof.

Grooved shafts?

I hear ya. I still have a front end of a 69 dart upstairs spindle to drum. I need to break it apart and list it

Nice score!

...and the newspaper is upside down, the electric heater is burning in the fireplace, the loaf of bread is clover shaped but the slices are normal, no legs under one end of the coffee table...

Well the car ran fine. Took it for a good ride. Once warm it was idling very low. I'm thinking maybe I should check the timing as the transfer slot should be close to optimal.and bring the idle up with timing. Does this sound right? Mixture screw adjusted.

I scrapped a '74 Challenger in September after parting it for everything it was worth. It was completely rotten, with the exception of the rear seat area--both the cross-braces and the package tray--and the rear-deck filler panel. A tree had fallen on it to boot. Every fastener worth taking...

do you have a close scrap yard?

Good to know. Looking forward to talking with the local guys.

Great idea. Yes, it is nice to have something to take the mind off of the rest of the worlds problems.

so what you're tellin me is...you got the right wheels, but your building the wrong car
