    360 a miss

    Done a cylinder leak down test today. #5 is whistling dixie through the carb at 13 psi. Now to pull the head and see if it is a burnt or bent valve or ?.... What do ya'll think the chances of replacing the valve will fix it. Or redo both heads completely. I had a problem with that valve when I...

    360 a miss

    The IDEA of this test is good but do NOT do it this way. I didn't know that. I was grounding the wire to the exhaust man after unplugging. Hopefully no foul.

    360 a miss

    Just got through with unplugging each plug wire and noting a change in vac and rpm in all 8 of them....miss still evident no matter the combo. The vac gauge is rapidly moving between 19 and 18 when the miss occurs. I am suspecting a valve problem. My next trick will be compressing air into...

    360 a miss

    if you recently had a driveshaft failure, were you turning high RPM's? I was cruising on the interstate at 1900 rpm. Ujoint cup came out of the front yoke. by taking the plug wires off one at a time with it running. I am going to do that after I post this

    360 a miss

    by dead miss do you mean a steady, repeatable, rpm consistant miss? Yes. Also, is this a recently developed problem and did it correspond with any work, mods, event? I had it slightly before and always assumed it was the cam grind. I have a OD tranny and a 3.23 8 1/4. The engine hardly ever...

    360 a miss

    Took new FP reading. 4-6 psi. The plugs are new and still look it. Not enough milage yet. The old plugs where carboned from a previous intake vacuum leak sucking oil and over rich condition 750 with a warped TB.

    360 a miss

    I have thought that about the lifters. But I have adjusted these to a 1/4 turn after quiet. How would I test them for a pumped up lifter in the block? I have gone through pushing on the rockers and noticed some bleed down on the plunger springs and others are tight. I don't believe my fuel...

    360 a miss

    I have a dead miss that occurs through the whole rpm range. Not as noticeable at wot but still there. I thought vacuum and changed intake gaskets and visually inspected valvetrain and intake. All looked good. Here is the engine specs. 360 .030 over bore. Flat top pistons with slight dish stock...

    340 w/360 heads, 6 pack & air cleaner help

    The valve covers are like the ones I have on my engine. Look for a pre 65 / 6 or V8 for a factory PCV valve and oil filler/breather. Or use the mr gasket chrome push on oil/breather you can buy from your f.l.a.p.s. and order a chrome pcv from year one or the like for a HEMI.

    Why To Never Buy Chinese Sh*t

    I bought a set from Mancini when I rebuilt my 360 2 years ago. I had 2 break when I first installed them. Called Mancini and then they tell me they are made in china. They let me return them for a cam. The needle bearins on those are junk so even if you do find adjusters (I never did) they will...

    STAY AWAY!!!! I ordered a set from Mancini when I was rebuilding my 360. I installed them and when I went to back the lock nut off it broke the adjusting stud off not one but THREE! I called mancini and the rep told me they where made in China. I sent them back for a credit and ordered Ductile...
