Hey all! Im having an issue with the power steering shuddering on my 61 Galaxie...mostly when the wheels are moving to the left. The system worked...
How could I adjust that? Is this something the accelerator pump adjustment could fix?
16 degrees initial, no vacuum at all. I havent checked what the total timing is cause I have no friends to rev up my engine :(. I will check,...
Well it maybe 25...the point is that when in a higher gear, the load is bigger, part throttle, car is just choking.
Hey guys, I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction here, cause Im a little lost. I just installed a brand new Blueprint engines 350...
Welp, its worse than I thought. I pulled the motor. Clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing all look perfect and new. The transmission, now with no motor...
100%. First thing I checked was the u joint and the rear end, but its definitely coming from the bell housing or the trans itself. Also, putting...
Hey all, wanna get some opinions since I wont be able to pull the motor again till next week, but.... 5 days ago the truck ran fine, no...
What does White Box casting mean?
Sweet man! I'll check out EngineQuest. I also came across these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-152123 2.02 intake, 1.60 exhasut 72cc...
No can do vortech...already have the weiand intake for the old version of heads...
No, I was able to tap them with no drilling out. They were wide enough that the tap went in smooth.
No rust on them at all, but it took a 3ft breaker bar to spin the nut and pull them out. My impact gun did nothing. Im thinking that the studs...
Im looking for low compression heads (70+cc) on the cheap cause I wanna throw an underdriven supercharger on it. More for fun, rather than crazy...
Yes they had pins in there. I pulled them all out before removing the studs.
It dawned on me that they may have been beaten on before. One of the studs was already a threaded stud and the others were also replaced with the...
Lesson learned! Luckily I just messed up one head. Now I just have to find a replacement 185 head....or a pair of 487 heads.
BTW...I threw all the stuff back on the head just so you guys see the nut and rocker that I was using. I was going off this guide:...
Absolutely. Just ran out to the shed and snapped some photos. Here is the crack. [IMG] The nut/rocker [IMG] Here is another stud that is just...
I've had something similar happen (although not an SBC). The intake manifold was just slightly warped so it had the tiniest of leaks on one of the...
Schroeder boxes are perfect for this (its what Im running on mine)...but they're getting really hard to find. KSE and Sweet Manufacturing also...
Not a gripe...just a vent. Idk...maybe help someone else not screw up their heads like I just did... Also, the studs went in just fine by hand....
Just wanted to share an annoying experience from this weekend. I picked up a "rebuilt" 350 a few weeks ago and noticed that half the rocker studs...
