Posts take like 2 minutes of my day. What stops me is job, weather and lack of knowledge. I spend most of my time researching diagnostics. Not trying to be a butt either but maybe a point in the right direction would be nice. Like to some books or good links. Im completely new to all of this stuff.

So I ran the car again. Sometimes when I give it gas it pops (small backfire). I found out that the cars transmission slips (Awesome!). Seems hot but the gauge says its fine. Maybe the transmission is the culprit? I know there is something wrong in the valvetrain. Had a friend over and he said...

I went to LOWES and got a fitting. Plugged it up. Started the car and it takes my foot being on the gas to get it to warm up. Guess I got some carb tuning still. Once warm it idles good but the vacuum still reads 5. So I advanced it to what looked like 12 degrees. Just a hair past the 10 line...

When I rev the engine is louder. Everyone can hear it and it echos in the neighborhood. Sounds mechanical. No black residue around any exhaust and it sounds like its coming straight from under the valve cover. I dont know the specs on the cam or comp ratio. The guy I got it from said it was...

Oh! Awesome! Thanks! I was a poor kid in HS so its my first time with MOPAR. Ill get back with you guys on the reading once I get to lowes to find an adapter.

Ya, I can do the springs no prob but I really dont want to take the intake off again to change the lifters.

Electric choke.

There are two 3/8 vacuum ports, one for the distributor and another one the same size on bottom (one I was using and fits my gauge). Intake has a plug. Vacuum reading steadily increases with rpm. Vacuum is acting the exact same even after intake change. I put on this intake. Old intake was the...

No, Im not sure. I put the gauge on the only vacuum port on the bottom of my carb. It doesnt have power brakes. No pcv valve. Its been like this and has not changed since I replaced the stuff. Only difference is now it starts, runs and even revs to high rpm. Not sure what its idling at RPM...

Does anyone know what the stock spring specs are so I can replace them? Should I go ahead and replace lifters too? Well the engine runs fine except for the noise.

Hey, I was wondering if someone could be a miracle and help me with a couple things on my engine. I had just put a new distributor, intake manifold, plugs/wires and coil into my car. I did this because my car had a vacuum of around 5 (the needle wiggles fast around 5) The electrical stuff was...
