Yeah, I'm using electronic, but I think I got a hold of a lean-burn distributor. I just ordered a new one from Mancini that's been recurved and has the adjustable vacuum pot. I had this one set at 5 deg. btdc, but when I nailed it,the car would stumble until the centrifugal advance could catch...

Can anyone tell me what the initial advance should be on a '71 360. All my manuals say look at the sticker on radiator, but since this engine is not native to my '76 Scamp, the "sticker" obviously is not there. Thanx in advance, Red Beard

yeah, it's got a small half moon shape chunked out of it. do i line that up with the drain plug on the convertor?

I've got a '71 360. My machine shop that balanced the rotating assembly did so with my ATI Damper and B&M flexplate. I've just gotten a Coan 3000 stall convertor for the 727. I know the 360 is originally balanced by weights on the convertor. My question is, do I still need to put weights on the...

I ordered one from Mancini today. Didn't get the fancy ones, but I did score a stock replacement for a fair price. Thanx for all the input guys, James

I'm getting ready to put the 727 in and noticed I don't have a dipstick or tube yet (DOH!!). The 904 coming out is behind a slant 6. Can I use the tube and dipstick from the 904 on the 727 ? Thanx in advance, James

Welcome aboard Cuda

I'm in. :)

Well I guess I'm buying new wheels for the front. My 8 3/4 has the small bolt pattern and I was hoping to keep them all the same. Back to the parts store I guess... Thanks Jack !! James

I have the uca's and spindles for my disk setup now, but all the rotors I can find are 5 x 4.5 bc and I want to keep the small bolt pattern. Anyone know anywhere to find them. All the parts houses have is LBP also. I thought all a-bodies had 5 x 4 thru '76. thanks in advance, James

Ok, a 22" will do it, a 26" does it better, but needs modified, alright you've made up my mind. I'm going with a 24" :roll: Thanks Guys

PB Blaster is the best penetrant I have ever seen.This stuff works on things that Liquid Wrench won't even touch. Available at most automotive outlet and parts stores. :thumrigh: :thumleft:

Thanks Adam, I apprieciate your knowledge. James

I was wondering about radiators. How much difference is there between the /6 and 360 radiators. What size would be appropiate for a 360 ? Thanks James

Thanks Jack. I appreciate your answer...

Can anyone tell me what all needs to be changed to convert conventional disc to power disc ? I have the booster, master cyl., and proportioning valve. What else do I need ?

Yes, it does change , but only a small amount.If it concerns you, check the pinion angle, and apply shims between the front of the perch and the springs. this will raise the front of the pinion to compensate for the shorter driveshaft

It depends on what engine it came out with. My Scamp /6 had a small tube 7 1/4 and 9" brakes, so I had to get new shock plates and since the 8 3/4 uses 10" brakes I had to change those. Parts were readily available for brakes at the local Advanced Auto Parts. Everything in stock except SBP...

VERY fun trip, but I wonder how tech inspection missed the ding in the window. :roll: :lol:

La went to '92 ...'93 up are Magnum

Didn't work for me either.

Just noticed later in the thread that the dots on top or bottom doesn't matter as long as the crank dot is on top and the cam dot is aligned on top or bottom and this only affects distributor placement. Whew, this really makes me realize that I've been away from engine basics WAY to long. Last...

Somewhere in this thread I noticed someone said the timing marks should be cam sprocket on top and crank sprocket should both be on top. Both of my manuals ( Haynes 71-89 Repair manual and How to Hot Rod SB Mopar's ) say that the marks should align cam on bottom and crank on top. Are these...

My Condolances on your lost. Very hard thing to do, even if it is the best to help them out of pain. :cry:

:D I'm in heaven. Found everything I need today. With any luck I'm looking at 5-6 weeks til completion. Of course, that's ASSuming every thing goes as planned. :scratch:

wouldn't want a job putting those together all day long. makes my job even better. 8)

Actually, I do!! I have 2 Harley's also.The first 1 is a wide glide and I had it painted purple. People started calling it the Barnie (the dinosaur) bike. So when I got my dresser the girlfriend started calling it Fred. I'm sure you see the connection. Besides, I couldn't figure out how to get...

I myself lube almost any fastener that has to be at a specific torque. I usually use assembly or moly lube, but motor oil works also. I always have been taught that the dryness creates a friction torque all unto itself and will not read true torque. A little lube dissipates this. But when it...
