i just spoke with a local radiator man. He said it sounds like a typical situation where the fan is not big enough. In other words, when I am doing 70 mph the fan is actually reducing the air flow beacuse it is not aggressive enough. Makes sense to me, I have a little stock fan on it. Going...

Moper, thanks I am running a brand new 4 core brass rad from US Radiators. I paid $500 for the thing, which kind of upsets me because I get the feeling that I just don't have quite enough. I am running a fan shroud. It actually seems to do ok at idle....temp doesn't creep. That's why I can...

good info....thanks

i got some bad gas on the way back from Carlisle this past weekend and that along with the temp and I was getting detonation

i have a stock pull fan. thanks

What's the maximum temp you should let your engine run? I have a 160 thermostat in it but on these really hot days it's getting to 200-210. Also, my engine seems to run hotter going down the road at 70 mph that it does at lower speeds or even idle. I would think I have max air flow at highway...

Just put 10.7 gals of 93 octane in it from the local station. Knock went away immediately. It was knocking on the way to the station. Man, that was some bad gaS i GOT!

since this is the first time it's happened...I think I'll wait and see what the next tank brings. For kow i am just writing it off as a bad tank of gas.

Just got home from the All Chrysler in Carlisle. Drove the 68 Barracuda. 250 miles each way. My 340 10.5:1 compression has never knocked but I have always run 93 Octane in it. On the way home I stopped for a fill up and selected the highest octane. Just as I was squeezing the handle I...

more photos here is needed http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/freshayr14548/album?.dir=/8e83

here a pic. didn't come out quite as good as I had hoped

i'll get you some.

Then where did you attached the throttle?

Ok...great. Where would I get the special stud? that I don't have. I think we are making some progress here. Thanks for everyone's help.

OK...first question. I see the extension arm. It looks like your throttle cable is mounted in the middle of the extension arm or in other words, between the carb and the outter part of the extension arm. . My throttle cable end has a small screw hole for mounting. The extension lever has a...

69signet....i got the same problem. Can you give me a side picture of your setup. I am having trouble decideing which hole the throttle cable oges in and where the kickdown goes. I picked up a holley chrysler throttle extension today and the directions are terrible. There is only one hole on...

so did that fix the problem? did he have kickdown linkage issues also?

I think that is what I need.....if i adjust my cable so I get WOT....it won't return all the way to idle....If I adjust for idle, I don't get WOT. Gotta have WOT :)

what is the purpose of the Holley Chrysler throttle extension lever? (PN 20-7) . I am having some trouble getting my kickdown linkage and throttle cable to function. Could this part help?

i am not 100% sure. The fluid is showing up on the starter. If I shine the light up in there I see drips hanging from the header flange right under the last exhaust port.

I have fluid showing up on my starter. It appears as though it is comming from the last exhaust port on the drivers side. I put RTV on the end header bolts when I installed. Last night, I pulled the bolt on the rear driver's side and put RTV on it again. I let it set 24 hours and drove the...

:) i changed my signature the day I started this thread.

well it might not be as bad as I thought. My engine builder came over last night and we couldn't get it to leak. He presurized the radiator and we ran the car in the garage (the weather was too bad to drive it) We couldn't get it to leak....but when we first looked at it, a new drop had...

i've been out of town for a few days. I hope to speak with the engine builder today. I intend to find out what gasket he used and will also find out more about the machine work. i'll keep you posted. thanks.

i know what you mean about the header bolt....it not that. The leak is comming right on the end where the head and block meet.

After one whole year of working on it.....I took it to a buddy who has a repair shop yesterday. He did a front end alinement on the 68 Brracuda and gave me a NYS inspection. Beautiful day here in NY so when he was done I took it out in the road for its madien voyage. It ran better than I...

did you have to replace the lifter?

The cam was broke in by the engine rebuilder on a dyno. Other than that it doesn't have 5 miles on the motor. I have started it a couple times just to move it from one bay of the shop to the other. I guess I will try bringing it up to operating temp.

yes, oil pressure is good....i checked that right away.

I started the 340 after sitting for a couple months to move it to the other side of the shop. when I started it it had a very pronounced ticking in the motor. I moved it from one side of the shop to the other and left it. It was cold and I was hoping that might be it. Today, I warmed the...
