New Indian headed to Jersey...
If you do drop by you can give them my number 501.765.2166 thanks a lot!
I want the finned aluminum timing cover (for dodge 270 but also fits the chryslers) and I also want the spin on filter (polished) and the finned...
I found some parts for my Super Red Ram Hemi but can't seem to get ahold of anyone there. Is this a real company? They seemed to have some bogus...
Oh dear God! The Darwin award for the year goes to................ME! I've been super busy with work with the holidays coming up and working on...
Yeah, I heard china is manufacturing them too now which makes me wonder. I'll adjust the mixture screws in the morning and see if that helps.
We set the timing with a light. I only tried messing with the idle screw, not the mixture screws.
I put a new Edelbrock carb on my 350. It started right up but seems to be idling really high. Does screwing the idle screw in slow the idle or...
The old motor didn't flame and the new motor does. I was just trying to make sure nothing was going to blow up on me... I just dropped around a...
I'm trying to get a 1929 Desoto! Does that count? I have pics of it in a barn. [IMG] [IMG]
Not a rat! A traditional rod... something your young hotrodder would have built back in the day... and could afford... and could drive the crap...
Thanks for all the replies. I'm using a worn out Quadrajet I'm almost positive has vacuum leaks, so I picked up a new Edelbrock 600cfm I'll put on...
Got my new 350 in the rod finally (it's a 1973 350 rebuilt stock). It's running really good, but for some reason am getting a shot of fire coming...
Fairly new to motors but I was wondering (if it's even possible) that a ceramic coated block would have any pro's con's to performance??? I don't...
If the pump moves, but slowly moves back is it bad? Should it hold under vacuum? I'll be looking for a rebuild kit I guess.
Lots of rust and rust dust in the rotor. The vac advance curve kit is fairly cheap... but do I need more than that? Can I check the current vacuum...
Well, I cut open the oil filter. Everything looks normal there. I guess the next thing is to drop the pan and check the pump/ pick up tube,...
Well, I guess I'll get some of these things mentioned checked out. I'm gonna cut open the filter in a bit to see what's inside. Then probably...
So I can, I guess, somewhat check the cam bearings from dropping the pan? I was told you had to tear the motor open to actually check the...
I'm at the point of standing on it till it blows up and starting over and doing it right. I let my father in law, who has raced and built Chevy...
You mentioned the oil pick up tube. When we first fired the motor with the new cam there was a weird tap or knock and it turned out the oil pan...
Oh, I thought if the pump failed it completely failed. Didn't know they could wear slowly. I just rebuilt the carb and it idles MUCH better and...
Yeah this has me stumped but I'm no expert. The only thing that bugs me is there is no obvious signs of bearing wear (metal in oil, knocking,...
I heard the motor run when I bought it but it sat for a while. Before I got the motor in my truck is when I put the cam in so I really don't have...
Its between 30 and 40 at start up/ idle. When hot at idle almost 0 when I hit the gas it may jump to 10 or 15 if I'm lucky. I haven't looked at...
Anyone out there? I'm really hoping maybe I can just swap cams at most and not have to tear into the motor.?????????????? Does this cam have...
Pressure seems okay when warming up but drops when it is fully warmed up. I can't hear any knocking, no metal in the oil, and the oil pressure...
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
I got around to redesigning and updating my website with lots of new artwork! Let me know what you think and make sure to check out the "for sale"...
