And what these guys said above. The above mention of the cometic gasket is what I have done several times. There really is t a need to get super close but keep the quench under .050. It’ll be fine. Setting the quench super close is starting to gamble on everything else being great. That’s why...

Funny you’d mention that lead69, I had the original iron j heads on it up until now. I had polished, ported and gasket matched them. I’ve never used aluminum heads until now due to the cost but I had been using cosmetics with the iron heads. That being said I knew I couldn’t use them with the...

Well ok, I checked piston height the first time roughly with a straight edge and feeler gauge that’s where I got my original numbers. I just checked it again with a dial indicator and deck height bridge and I came up with .025 in center of piston and .038 on upper edge at valve reliefs when I...

Gentlemen, I’ve got a question about piston to head clearance. I’ve got a set of edelbrock 63cc heads that I want to put on my 340, the pistons sticks up .020 I’m using felpro head gasket .057 thick which leaves.037 before compressed height. Edelbrock says .035 clearance should be maintained at...

I have a shark tooth grill for sale. this grill is complete with bezels, orange bulbs and pigtails. ALL of the mounting tabs are good, there are no cracks or chips in it anywhere. Short of repainting this grill it is in fantastic shape. I'm not sure what year it came off of but then I don't...

hello, I have a 1972 dodge dart high price model and I'm looking for a driver side seat belt for a bench seat. I have one that is in a molded plastic case. If you have one that's like the one in the picture and would like to sell it I'd like to take it off your hands thanks for reading and...

yep, fergot that, thanks..... and for what it's worth,,,,, removing studs is not hard, and chance of breaking one is minimal, less chance than screwing a nut onto a stud half way and then stripping it. Then you will be changing out studs.... Just saying

hey frobione, Just find yourself a fastenal store or something equalvent down there in portland, (i'm up in seattle). take one of the studs in and ask for some that are a 1/2 inch longer, screw them in and take all the worries away. that's where I get my fasteners from including carb studs...

Hello all, I put a floor console in my scamp, and I'm looking for a power steering column to go with it please PM me if you've got one for sale. Thanks Kevin

I never take it over 6500, it starts to fall at around 5000, 1st and 2nd gear there is no problem. once into 3rd at around 5k it starts to miss and stumble. Could it be the coil? it's happened to me once before. I've tried jetting up and down from where it started with no change. and to the...

It's running with factory fuel line, I believe it was or is a holley 85 gph mech pump. Jets, I can't remember off the top of my head, I'll get those numbers tomorrow. The carb is a quick fuel 650. It ran great in the cooler weather but I ran the other day in 80 plus temp and it just fell over...

Well I'm learning for sure. I'm running mechanical but I'm also running really close to stock. When it runs lean it'll pop on the big end, but when it just runs out of fuel it'll stumble like someone's shutting the fuel off

To all of you experienced racers can you tell me what is, or is there a differnce between running lean and just plain running out/or low of fuel at the big end of the track. Thanks for any and all responces Racy

OK, here’s my combo. Short, sweet and to the point. Got it down to a 12.66, with a couple of more tenths that could be removed with some more tweaking 1971 plymouth scamp, gutted. 340 block bored .20 over Stock rotating assembly balanced 10 to 1 KB cast pistons Iron J heads 2.02...

I'm not getting sucked into this conversation I'm just stating the obvious. Whether it's the pinion angle, horsepower or bad springs, that conversation is being carried on by others. I hope a cause can be found. I'll be hanging out and watching.:happy1:

hello, I've been reading this thread and the one thing i can say, is that your springs are junk. no doubt about it, send them back to hotchkis COD

yea if i leave the pawl on it, i can remove the pawl (unscrew it from the cable). once the pawl is off the whole assembly turns. I'll work on it tomorrow, thanks for the info.

crazy, the outside knob is loose from the shaft, the black push button is loose from the outside knob, the whole assembly moves up and down inside the shifter shaft, I've pulled like crazy and cannot get it to separate. the set screw is completely removed.

your saying kinda what i'm thinking, and with what your saying i'm starting to believe that it's frozen on the cable. I say this because the pawl that keeps it in gear is unscrewing and falling out. I hope you understand what i'm talking about.

got the allen screw out and it will not separate, it just spins

Hello to all, I've got a console out of a demon and I'm installing it in my 71 scamp. Ive searched the forums for a way to disassemble the shifter itself from the console. I've got it down to the knob but cannot separate the knob from the shifter shaft. There has got to be a way to separate the...

thank you for refreshing an old brain....it's been awhile kevin

I was talking to my buddy about 904s and 727s, this is a simple question that i just can't remember the answer to so I'm needing your help. A torque converter for a small block 904 will fit a small block 727 is this right. help me in my brain fart time thanks kevin.

i find it easier to support the engine and drop the car into a pit about 3 inches to get to the bolt,,,, JK. sorry i couldn't resist.:toothy8:
