Checking fuel pressure is difficult but I've bought tubing and taped the gauge to the windshield for testing. As others have said, the lean AFR...
Well I got the whole set up from the wreckers for 135. Imagine that! It was actually cheaper to do it right. :) Thanks to gageman for the...
ok ok I'll go to the "classic" junk yard tomorrow geez ;) With the motor out this is the time to do a steering box swap if I'm gunna. Heck the...
Thanks for the info all. Looks like the adapter is the way to go and the idea of gutting that valve not a particularly good one. I know a few...
You mean you changed the pitman arm and the center link right? The issue is the control valve is on the center link and without hydraulic...
I've read several threads on converting from power to manual but no one has talked about this adapter that I've found...
The plug problem could be the wrong reach plugs installed coupled with a bit of excessive piston rock on the "over rev". Every piston I've ever...
Yeah it did get off track but good discussions. I thought you had your answer early on but...... a few ( heck maybe just me :) ) recommended an...
They are easy to make out of a bit of thin sheet metal. Just pattern the missing one off of the other side. Alternatively you can buy a breather...
I've got the entire set up minus compressor, accumulator and engine bay lines that I will be removing from a 76 in the next couple of weeks. The...
I would agree with everything PaulS has said except the very first statement. External balance places a huge load on the end of the crank which...
Well let me clarify "sustained". What I meant was while drag racing it is not advisable to cross at over 7K. I'm glad you had good luck with one...
yep have run 600 VS, 700 VS, 750 DP, and have settled on the carb I'm running now. IMO more than 7K is simply too high a sustained RPM for that...
Well that's why I say Holley based.;) Carb ratings are pretty much marketing anyway unless you go to something like a pro systems. As far as...
Yeah some do some don't it seems hit and miss. In my experience Edlebrocks are more consistent for street cars though. Now with that said I...
I'm looking at caltracs and noticed their "stock" listing is for a 70-75 Maverick. I have a 76 so I'm wondering if there is a difference with the...
See here is the funny thing. 408's are all good but a 347 has too small a R/S ratio 347 (5.4 rod) 1.59 408 (6.25 rod) 1.56 So why not do a 347?...
While I would never bore a 302 to .060 over I know of several guys running these (early blocks) on their STREET cars. The only issue is they run...
This all depends on what the intended purpose of the car is. For a street car the Edlebrocks are my choice. They run well and don't have issues...
I'm on the west side of town so I run at Speedworld. It's only 25 minutes from the house. Thanks to all for the warm welcome.
