Disconnect dash tac at dizzy. Plug in positive lead of tach/ dwell at dizzy tach terminal and take neg lead of tach/dwell to a clean ground
No interest in changing the hei. Just curious if it could be a hei issue or tach/dwell issue. Might try a filter on the tach /dwell meter as a...
Wow. You're usually more helpful and less snarky. It's a curiosity question...perhaps the dash tach has a built-in filter, perhaps the average...
if i had an ossilloscoper I'd not even know what I'm looking at! :)
Gen 1 stock SBC 350, Chinesium HEI, Dolphin Dash Tach, 2 each tach/dwell meters. 12000 miles on the power pack. Runs fantastic throughout the...
They work pretty amazing now. Like modern car brakes. I don't mind learning as I go but brakes is one I like to have got right real early in...
Mopar color. PB5 electric pearl blue
And here's where i finished up. Tuff Stuff (american made) 9 inch dual diaphragm booster. 65% more booster area than the 7 inch dual and about 5...
Big break upgrade today. Started with a 7 in dual booster and a 4 to 1 ratio. (cause I didnt think larger would fit and with the firewall moved to...
And, the County Safety Crew is on the ball today!!!! [ATTACH]
Exactly
Well.....if it concerns you so, perhaps delete the thread.
Its okay. I drove through it 3 times to make sure it was safe before filming it. :) Farm properties get wet, you learn what your rigs will...
She's old. Drinks and smokes a lot too.
Never fails to get me there and back. Ol Bessy, 1937 Dodge, D5 4 door Touring. https://youtube.com/shorts/uwa6_D0EhIA?feature=shared
Same in NC. Stick on the YOM plate, only one plate required. Place the issue plate in the glove box for display if stopped. No need to...
@das858 Saw your radiator review on line. How's the champion holding up, my 3 year old walker has 4 seam leaks in 11000 miles! No more walkers...
When we bought Ol Bessy home she was hotrod low front and rear. (Top photo). Now she sits like a Grand Lady, stock height out back and just 1 in...
Test ride went amazing. Nimble and stable to 80 mph. And noise plus squeaks, klunks all gone. With the pinion angle restored, all the vibes are...
New and old ride height. (Factory ride height restored!) Remember to leave all the bolts (including the axle u-bolts) slightly loose until you...

The old shackles. These were righty tighty on both sides, others may or may not be so I try the socket in both directions and don't round off the...
The new part number. Available from lots of places, shop around for the best price. These were under $400 the pair shipped. NOS springs are still...
Better view. 86 road years is a lot of flexing and the old springs have quite a set. Spring shops say that spring rate does not change with age...

Learning the hard way. Popped a pair of pistons in a 6 cylinder before I learned to sneak up on it. Evidentially I missed something important...
Already got one! Its been great. Started with min setting and went up till it ran best. Did the same on the can for the spring swap. Best...
12 initial 36 w/o vacuum (+24 centrifugal) 48 on ported, at speed
It's a tci street rodder trans, so no lock up. I'm kinda flabbergasted. It seems to be a $15 performance mod that actually works. My Gosh,...
