    Cylinder #7 down on compression

    1970, it's 54 years old and depending on the miles on it it's probably tired. But a leak down test would be a good place to start but don't be surprised if it's due for a rebuild.

    The 1947 Dodge Build

    A couple of weeks ago I picked up a 64 LA push button 904; last week I dropped it off at Dynamic Converters for a rebuild to include changing the front section in order to use the later model converters. So after discussing the 47 and how it’ll be used and rear end gears - will be a 71 B Body...

    That was the same thing the officer asked when he pull in the driveway behind me. Said he wouldn't have caught up to me if I hadn't stopped.

    Cylinder #7 down on compression

    Piston to the bottom of the cylinder and put air pressure to it, listen for where it's leaving the ship. Intake, exhaust or breather.

    3/4 of a tank....that wouldn't explain not having power to anything electrical.

    Cylinder #7 down on compression

    Absolutely, the spark plug hole entry is done with a fitting with flexible hose which comes with the tester. The test will give you a bunch of information.

    There's not many older cars where I live, I haven't seen many vehicles older than the late '70's. A lot of people think that the older cars are a waste of time and money. There are some rice rockets who's owners probably watched all of the fast and furious stuff and think they have fast car's Lol.

    Yeah, I saw this video. Only one out there regarding Slant Six with a Sniper that I know of, & its for a constant speed Generator, not a daily, in traffic, driver. Wish there would be a actual Dart on the road with this setup...

    My neighbor has a real nice 1967 camaro that I've only seen him drive like six times in the 17 years that we've been neighbors. There's a guy who lives farther down the street that has a 1971 duster and a 1969 camaro and I've only seen those cars twice in all of the years that I've lived here...

    Cylinder #7 down on compression

    If you are a newbe, and you do not have a LD tester; here's what I recommend. 1) Take off the driver's side VC, and look for a sloppy pushrod preload, on the low-pressure cylinder, as compared to another cylinder with good pressure; which may signal a cam-lobe going down. Of course the...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    That's awesome, kinda makes sense though considering the 8HP got a 10+ year jump on the GM/Ford 10-speed and is a proven design used by several makes. The GM/Ford unit is only used by them and has had issues, enough to have a few class-action lawsuits filed against them lol. Allegedly they...

    Damn, I wish that was the case around here! The old guy at the O'Reilly's south of me has an old Ford truck that he hasn't worked on in over a decade, but that's about it in my area. The O'Reilly's west of me, the old manager had a Chevy volt, I haven't even seen a customer in an old ride there...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    Looks like even Blueprint Engines has jumped on the 8HP bandwagon. BluePrint LS ZF 8-Speed Engine And Transmission Packages Considering that GM has an 8 and 10 speed auto, seems like pretty high praise for BP to cast their own bellhousing to bolt an 8HP to an LS.

    Hardened valve seats - do they really matter?

    People don't realize this because it isn't so. The mechanism behind valve seat recession is well understood, and it's nothing to do with a lack of air filtration (which will do a job on the rings long before it has any effect on the valves). Seat recession happens because above a critical...

    Mine did similar thing a few years back. I believe it was wiring leading to key switch(67 barracuda). I ended up making an entire new dash harness. I know not much help to you. Got a voltmeter? Or test light with you?
