I've been playing with the total timing method. It's something I picked up on Youtube recently. It seems to make the car spring to action way quicker. Since the hesitation went away, I just stuck with it. I'll have to check my throttle blades. I'm guessing they are about half way in. I was...

Yes, on all accounts. Its been given a few flushes with drain plugs pulled. It's also got a brand new carburetor. The hesitation does get much less detectable with the timing up at 22 degrees.

Thanks for all the replies. As for the symptoms, there's no major indicators. It has no oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. The exhaust isn't white and it doesn't smell odd either. It also idles strong. There are some potentially related symptoms. The car has an intermediate hesitation...

Thanks!!! Great info.

After much ado, changing water pumps, putting new fan clutches in, pulling block plug... it's time to consider the heads. I pulled of the radiator cap and observed the coolant. Right away I could see bubbles and foaming. My guess is that there's a crack in one of the heads. Currently, the car...

I am in the end stages of a conversion. I did everything a la cart. It took allot of effort. Mostly got parts via Ebay e.g compressor, evaporator, expansion value, Condenser... I used a place called Cold Hose for hoses and fittings. Don't buy fittings from Ebay. They're made poorly.

Yeah, I'm on 3 or 4 at this point.

Hi! I'm a bit curious because I'm still burning HEIs. Did you keep the stock coil? Was anything done with the resister block?

Just grabbed the radiator fan and spun it. I had it off for a new water pump. Spun too easy and action was loose. Also, car was getting hot, way too easy.

Ended up being the fan clutch. Thanks for all the help folks.

I hear you on that water pump. I'm just grasping for straws. I've put about five six once cans in. But I had a leak initially. I'm not sure how much leaked out. Currently, I'm just going by the gauge pressure. Per the low side gauge, I'm at 50psi @95F. I would guess I'm overcharged but the last...

Yes, it's got a clutch fan and a fan shroud. I currently, have the a new clutch in hand. The old one was working but a it's action was a little too loose for my taste.

UPDATE: I've since done a few things that has gotten my charging system working. A. Replaced the voltage regulator. B. Bought a new coil. It's an E type coil. Specifically, a PerTronix 60115 Flame-Thrower HV Coil 60,000 Volt E-Core 1.5 ohm The ignition is now working just fine.

I'm having some problems with my newly rebuilt AC system. It's not blowing cold enough. I've changed it over to 134a. Simultaneously, my engine has developed an overheating problem. I attribute this to not having installed the correct water pump. This engine (383) has two water pumps available...

I understand that. I'm just wondering, will a set from a couple fit the front doors of a sedan? If so how well do they line up and look? The coupe's have longer arm rests. Which, if they fit a sedan, would improve the comfort.

Hi! I'm in need of some new armrests in my Polara. The car is a 4dr so it has the smaller ones (9.5" pad). I was thinking that it would be nice if the armrest extended further back. When I have my seat all the back, like is my normal. My arm is way off the back of the armrest. Has anyone tried...

Was the Regulator causing you to burn up HEI modules?

Looks like my Regulator is point type (see pic). So now I'm on the market for an electric regulator. Any recommendations?

I'll check on that tomorrow. In the mean time I'm going to buy an E-core coil. It's easy enough to remove the coil from the equation. Thx!

Whoops, i probably should have included more detail. I have bypassed the resistor. The ICM is grounded to a common ground on the firewall. This does have a wire connected to the back of the intake. Also. I'm using a Pertonix, Flamethrower 3. It has a very low resistance, 0.32 ohms. The voltage...
