    1968 Polara 383 Crankshaft Questions

    The rest of the car I've found to be unmolested. So that would make sense Lefty. I've decided to pull it and do a rebuild. Fingers crossed. Thx all!

    1968 Polara 383 Crankshaft Questions

    I've been working on doing a rear main seal and found allot of notches cut out of the crankshaft. If there's any machinists here I'm curious why these were made. Check out my video: Dropbox

    68 Polara 383 Oil Pan Brackets

    I'm in the process installing a new oil pan gasket on my 1968 Polara with a 383. Fyi, I've got a 187 type pan. There are two brackets that run from the back part of the pan flange to the front cover of the bellhousing. Since both of them are cracked in two (see pic). I'm wondering how necessary...

    1968 Polara Center Link

    I'm preparing to pull my oil pan off and replace the pan gasket and oil pump. In order to do that I'll need to pull the steering linkage down. However, in researching potential replacement parts, I've found that there aren't any center links available. Does anyone know where I can find one? I'm...

    68 Polara 383 Heads

    I only recently had time to mess with it. I pulled the heads off.I'm getting ready to bring them to the machine shop. I plan on having the valves ground, hardened seats installed, milled flat, and checked over from problems. Part of me just wants to pull the motor and rebuild it. But it made no...

    68 Polara 383 Heads

    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...

    68 Polara 383 Heads

    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.

    68 Polara 383 Heads

    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...

    68 Polara 383 Heads

    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...

    AC conversion vs upgraded system

    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.
