    TC recommendation A999 (non lock up)

    Hi, transmission is finaly out of the car (two funny screws - one at the starter and one between engine and oil filter)..... it took me 2 hours, including the driveshaft removal. O.k. cheating..... I drained the ATF over night. Geting the starter out was hard.... long tube headers - no further...

    TC recommendation A999 (non lock up)

    Hi, after finishing my 73 Duster I went out for some tuning. But the third run caused serious problems. After laying some incredible long patches, the transmission failed. The A999 was the only thing, I didn't rebuilt, because the seller told me it has done shortly before. I have a guy here...

    Thank You! Here in "Krautland" old american steel is rare, so I wanted to do it right. I am driving us-cars since many years, and each of it has been great in its own way. Regards, Eckhard

    new old one from germany =:-)

    ... That's right.... The first attempts ended in a stalled engine, when switching into gear. And first I was fooled with my timing light, because for a MSD ignition you need a special tool (I am sure you know that). I am arround 20° at idle and nearly 35, all in. I am using a ACCEL distributor...

    new old one from germany =:-)

    Hi, thanks - and yes... the converter is the only thing I am thinking about to change. The 8 3/4 has a 3.55gear. I wanted to go with 4.11, but car should be "driveable" for road use. Unfortunately here in germany drag racing isn't polular and the cops are "allergic" to smoking tires. But...

    new old one from germany =:-)

    No, I bought the car with the info .... Comp cam 292h installed. But the car wasn't performing the way I expected. So I went from top to bottom. As I removed the vale covers, I found a pair of sollid rocker, instead of the adustable roller rocker, that schould have been installed. So I ordered a...

    new old one from germany =:-)

    Yes, the guy who painted it is a realy master of his craft. The complete paint was remocved and he restored the shape of the rear end of the trunk. Lucky me, the Duster "lived" in California, before it was imported to germany. So absolutly no rust. We've chosen a candy apple red from House of...

    Harmonic Balancer for MAGNUM. JEGS ALMOST got me! WTF?

    I know, thread is old.... but I have a question to PRW balancer. PRW-2331841 PRW told me I have to use the medium size weight on my 1979 360LA. But if I check any other balancers with changeable weights, they say I have to use the big weight for this engine. Shaun Snow from PRW sent me this...

    Barry Grant/Holley 750 Double Pumper Base Plate Question

    Hi Mopar-Man, o.k. perhaps my description was not good enough. The Boosters are not dripping. When I hit the throttle, the fuel from the accelerator pumps goes downward the carb and not all of it is sucked into to engine. A small ammount is dripping out of the carb, between the shaft and the...

    Barry Grant/Holley 750 Double Pumper Base Plate Question

    Hi, thank you! And this was the first thing I did - new gaskets and fuel Level. After I changed a few gaskets (nearly everything) I did a short "off engine test". I gave the carburetor fuel from a pressure free source and let the bowls fill. I opened the throttle to see if the squirter nozzles...

    Barry Grant/Holley 750 Double Pumper Base Plate Question

    The current base plate is leaking fuel , between the shaft and the lever. Every time I move the blades, a few drips of fuel are leaking and wetting the Edelbrock air gap manifold..... and I don't like free fuel on hot surfaces :rolleyes: After a few minutes of driving, it's getting ugly and...
