    Speedmaster Stainless Rocker Arm Issues

    I just checked them out. Yes, the rocker and the spring on the underside of the rocker has a very small amount of interference between the two parts. I will try and shim the rocker shaft. I have the shims they are .005 in thickness. The old rockers were H&S form Mancini but did not have a roller...

    Speedmaster Stainless Rocker Arm Issues

    What am I doing wrong??? Got new H&S full roller arms. I have already reduced the thickness of the shims from the ones supplied by H&S to about half the size. I had a solid .015-.020 clearance. But when I tighten the rocker shaft down with the push rods installed every thing tightens up and I...

    Main Studs and Head Bolt Life/

    I have alum. main caps with ARP studs, nuts and ARP head bolts on RPM heads. My question is, How many times can I torque the studs, nuts and bolts? At what point should I replace them?

    Mid plate mounting

    I never said they were ARP bolts. I said look for thread size and length, Pontiac bolts are .575 in length.

    440 Cross Ram

    From what I have seen tested these manifolds have very bad fuel distribution. I know it's not the same effect but check out the Indy offering.

    decking a 383 block

    There's a lot of truth to what you all say. Their are alot of ways to achieve this. However IMO. respectfully. Your block first needs to be squared up. All or most of all the measurements you do will be based on your block being square.

    Street Gear Poll

    This is really a fun topic! When I bought my first Duster it had a 5:13. You didn't figure MPG, you figured GPH (gallons per hour). Switched them to 2:94. WOW! Now I did not shift from 2nd to 3rd untill 110 mph I did have it up to 130 mph on it's speedo once. It had no bottom end. Next 3:23...

    Trans shield

    Ken with all do respect I would like to know why you say it would not fit. Especially when you have never seen one? I'd really like to know. Because if I was going to bring this back to market I would address this issue. Also I don't know if you have ever tried to bring something to the racing...

    Trans shield

    I do my B-O's in second also. But sometimes in 1st and 2nd, I haven't ever had a problem with that Billet drum? Can't say I have ether, although those I have seen don't talk to much on their way to a hospital. Seriously though the billet drum I think has a spread of 16k to 18k rpm. So at launch...

    Trans shield

    Heating issues were solved by using simple heat shielding wrap around the headers. Soft blankets can be easily cleaned of oil saturation. If your leaking that bad you should fix your leaks! You are a hazard to the other racers on the track. Blankets returned to me that were not abused were...

    Where were you people when I produced the BEST blanket on the market. For Mopar only, 727's & 904 and Push Button Cable Shift !!!! it fit's like a new suit. It also coverd the bell housing. No problem with tranny dip stick. No more capturing shift lever arm. It has cooling ducts to prevent heat...

    Vintage drag race question

    I actually saw one of the D/Stock Darts back in the day. My brother hauled my butt down to a Chryser dealer in Akron, Ohio to show it to me. He wanted to buy it but dad would not sign the papers! Good thing too. It was like a body in white. No options. It had the 4-speed, duel quads and...

    Mid plate mounting

    I too used the Comp, Eng. mid-plate withe spacer with it "same thickness as the mid-plate". The problem "IMO" it makes the flex plate bolts to short and these are .500 long bolts. And to compound the problem these are "slim headed" bolts! Normal headed bolts are to thick and interfere. Solution>...

    340 marine engines.

    Love to find a industrial 340. The 318 was used by many boat manufactures. There are parts out there. Usually marine blocks have extra material in the main webbibg area.

    340 marine engines.

    Counter rotating props cancels out torque from the props. It makes a boat more stable. Also different types of hulls use different rotations. Some rotate inwards and some outwards.

    77’ 440 rebuild

    I agree kbr577. That cam is going to idle around 900 to 1k rpm. You better have stock in Exxon, lol. It is designed for heads that flow a lot more than what you have in mind. Get a different head for that cam.

    The truth about caltracs

    Love that photo!!!! May I make a suggestion? The front end of your car is twisted. This can be adjusted to come out even easily. The Cal-Tracks will work even better. I fixed this this way because mine did it. 70/30 shock on drivers side. 90/10 on Pass. side. Find your lowest ride height even...

    17 years in the Barn - Need new knowledge

    hummmm. changing the rocker arm ratio to 1.6 would bring those lift number to "around" .480 int. 492 exh.. That should wake it up. It's a simple change.

    Break-In. How Long?

    The long break in time of old was for old "iron" rings and old bearing technology. If your using today's technology parts, your cam break in has already seated everything else. Let her rip...
