    Troubleshooting stumble at idle in gear

    It "feels" like an ignition problem, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. I may be missing something easy. Here's the problem. After installing my new (reman) Super Six BBD carburetor, I have an intermittent stumble at idle, only when in gear (never in Park or Neutral). Some days it's...

    Distributor recurve

    I'm rebuilding the distributor on my car to adjust the timing advance. My driving is mostly at lower RPM, almost never above 3000. What is a good starting point for total mechanical and vacuum advance on this build? - 1974 Dart with 904 transmission and 2.71 differential - 225, rebuilt with...

    Evans waterless coolant

    what are these noises?

    One is a steady whine that follows engine rpm, and the other sounds like crickets. I suspect the steady whine may be coming from the power steering pump, which leaks fluid. View My Video

    Time to rebuild?

    I'm wondering if I need to start planning a rebuild. SlantSixDan says yes in my post about this on slantsix.org and I don't doubt he's right, but I thought I'd start a new post here since there are some smart folks here who don't frequent the .org side. This is a bone stock 1974 225 with 82K...
