If the ignition switch power checks out good try powering the ignition circuit only with a separate battery. This means leave the ignition switch off, and add power to the ballast resistor with a jumper to the other battery, and negative connection to block. Use the original battery to crank...

Yes, I think I had to remove the pickup screen from the pump. Reinstalling the screen after installing the pump. I wanted to see if I could swap in a walbro 450 ss (E-85) pump, but it wont fit. Tanks Inc has a tank where the sender and pump are installed in two holes towards the top of the...

Spectra Premium in tank pump module has 3/8" supply and 5/16"(8mm) return. SP197A1H I bought the EFI version of the fuel tank CR9FI that came with the in tank pump. The FI tank has a tub/sump to keep fuel from moving away from the pickup. You could also use Holley Hydromat if worried about the...

I like the 3.55:1 ratio with the overdrive transmission combination on my street car with the usual 26" to 27" tall tires on these cars. I think 50 mph in overdrive is about 1,500 RPM?

I used heater hose between the Mallory 250 pump and the mounting bracket. It might have lowered slightly lowered the sound?

I would keep the main caps if less than 700 HP. The cost of the machine work to install, bore, and align hone the billet caps can be $800+ in machine work. Someone will want the crank, rods, oil pump shaft, and harmonic damper. Keep the valve covers, timing chain cover, oil pan/pickup, dist...

On the Ron Francis wiring kit, they use a packard type connector. I think it was 2 row by 4 (or 5?) uses the packard 46/48 terminals like used just about on the bulkhead connector. I believe the M&H OE replacement wiring harness uses the original style molex connector.

I think you looked at the "lobe" lift of 0.315/0.320. Multiply that by rocker arm ratio (1.5) for "valve" lift of 0.473"/0.480", or if using a 1.6:1 rocker 0.504"/0.512" valve lift.

What intake / carb? and has the distributor be re-curved? A good tune can make a difference if everything is still stock. If the engine has the stock valve springs, I would change them, or at least check their pressures / adjust install height if needed (and if it would work?) I would use the...

It was I had on hand, and several components, mostly kerosene. Link to the MSDS: https://www.hoppes.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-HuntShootAccessoriesSharedLibrary/default/dwfbc7ef45/productPdfFiles/hoppesPdf/sds/04e3a446-2860-4fdd-9e91-49ea662e5830.pdf

I have your books, but it seems everyone is going social media these days? What did you think of the HXL / HXX cam profiles?

I had issues with the Edelbrock Quiet-flo pump staying primed. Maybe my new pump was defective, but not impressed with the Edelbrock pump. The Mallory 250 pump is a good pump, and for its size is quieter than many other pumps like the Hollys, but it is not quiet. For quiet, an in-tank Walbro...

Hopps #9 Gun bore cleaner worked for me and didn't harm the plastic.

When I rebuilt the 11" drums on the '69 R/T I ordered the later '70 parts with the self adjusters so i don't have to mess with manually adjusting the brakes. The self adjuster kit used a long green lower spring (need to get all the parts if converting to self adjusters, the cable, adjuster lever...

Clam shell puller works good for removing the pinion bearing without damage. I have been thinking of trying to measure out the spacer thickness. I have a new Dr Diff 489 case, 3.55:1 gears and Tru-Track diff I need to put together. Been thinking of just measuring the distance from the pinion...
