Is the accelerator pump squirting? It needs to put out a solid stream of fuel to run right and not bog on throttle tip in. Travis..

I’m sure that just like everything else, it depends on brand, country of origin, and likely when they were made to get good ones. Over the years I had always heard that they were drag race only, not intended for the side loads that street use exerts on the bearing. I headed that advise and never...

Those wheels likely have 6.5” or so of backspace. Even if they bolt on, they will look silly and likely rub on various suspension and body parts as the suspension and steering cycles. @Snotty. Those Shelby wheels are awesome units. My bro had a set, they are WAY lighter than any other aluminum...

Look for a YouTube vid from Chris birdsong on his junkerup channel. He shows a green bearing taken apart. There aren’t many bearings in there and they aren’t very big. It may be a newer cheaper quality bearing or who knows, but it looks like a rapid failure point to me. I wouldn’t use them. The...

When searching, don’t include 360 in your search since that engine wasn’t out until the early 70’s. Use LA engine or even try 273 as I think Plymouth offered them in a fury in 66?? A 318 in 66 would have been the A engine (polysphere) as you know so that won’t bring the results you want. Just...

That cam isn’t going to be what you want. Don’t buy a cam because it’s what you can get this minute, order the right cam and wait a couple of days. For the same money you can get the right cam and lifters for what you’re trying to do. Comp has voodoo or extreme energy kits with duration around...

Engine stand looks fine to me, 4 wheels on them is a fairly recent development. If you are keeping it full on cruiser, find a cam that will work with a heavy car with stock low stall torque converter. Maybe even one aimed at 4x4 trucks. Go back and re-read my long post on the previous page...

Are you running points, or electronic distributor? If points, file and set the gap. Travis..

I’m interested to know how far down in the hole those are at tdc? I checked, and I see the stealth heads are closed chamber at about 80ccs which is what I understand the stock 516s are. I could have sworn the stealths were open chamber. I’m curious where your compression is, and will be...

I don’t think I’ve posted but one pic of mine 7 or 8 years ago, so here it is. 66 300, stock original 383 4 barrel single exhaust. The car has just over 100k on it and appears to have never been apart. It was original paint when my dad bought it 25 years ago, but someone sprayed red oxide primer...

Yes, this issue is that you can’t get the right paint from any of the readily available prepackaged paint providers. It’s a PITA that a person must go to a restoration supplier or an automotive paint supply to get something in the neighborhood of correct. I’m not a nut n bolt rotisserie resto...

Just thinking, it’s funny what you’re looking to do. My brothers car has an o/d 833 in it behind a low comp 440. He’s still working on his combo. He has the big summit cam in it and isnt happy with it. He has a new Howard’s cam to try, and I just gave him a 3.55 chunk and a straight 833 to try...

Pointing out edit to my above post Travis..

Yes, this is my wheel on my car. Yes, it is from U.S.Mag, 15x7. I really like the look of them. Here’s a shot with my 300 and my brothers coronet. His has torque thrust original (not D) and mine are U.S. Mag. I prefer the spoke shape and color on mine. Travis..

Here ya go. I like the straight spoke, and I think they nailed the dimensions. There are other straight spoke wheels that I do not like. Travis..

Those cans there are the right color. Not long after you bought those, the can changed along with the color inside. It is way more effort to go to a paint supply house, have them match it, mix it up, and then put it in spray cans than it is to go to the parts store and get the correct color off...

Mopar turquoise engine paint has always been hard to find in what I would call the right shade. In the 90’s the Mopar performance engine paint was right on, but even they changed and started selling blue paint and calling it turquoise. Crap. My brother painted the 440 that he put in his 64 dart...

If you find one, you need the truck/van version to get the long tail shaft. All of the f/m/j and a body units are short. I have 3.23 gears in my 66 300, 383/auto with a 30” rear tire and it works pretty good for me. 265/70r15 on a 15x7” US Mag 5 spoke (like a torque thrust original but better...

I wouldn’t take the one from the poly because a) the pans might be different depths, and b) if you aren’t going to need the poly for anything else you could sell it as a running engine and recoup some money. Travis..

Also, that crank bolt isn’t whitworth, it’s not a Norton. But hey, if it fits it ships (usps joke, you might not get it being Canadian, eh). Travis..
