    67-68 BB 727 with a 62-65 rmvb question

    A 62-65 valve body will not work in a 66 or later trans. They a 2 cable shift, not linkage. The rooster comb is completely different. A 62-64 doesnt have enough room for a park provision in the casting. I currently have 3 Turbo Action reverse manual push button valve bodies. They are not that...

    Porta power to get header iff the torsion bar?

    They will just spring back. But what works really well? Heat the area where the contact occurs. If clearance isn't suffcient to get at the area you can uses a ratchet strap to pull the header away from the torsion bar. When its red pry the header against the torsion bar. The result will be a...

    valve cover fitment issues

    My motor using Indy -1 heads, Indy 440-25 crossram, Indy valve covers, 440 Source distributor. I ground the intake, head, and the lip of the distributor cap. It has maybe .060" clearance. You can see here with the intake lid removed. The valve covers come off easily with no distributot removal...

    Botched Edelbrock 1407 rebuild?

    The baffel plate that sets in the bowl may be backwards. If so it will jam the float. It may bend the float and the plate. They can be straightened. Doug

    64 Fury rear suspension

    I driven B body convertibles with and without subframe connectors. Connectors help on a H/T. But they really help on a convertible. Totally eliminates cowl shake. A friend of mine had an ex drag car Fury convertible with connectors. I built him a Max wedge style 440 with a 5 speed manual and a...

    Big Thanks to the Help on my Last Problem and now....something new

    A ground to the battery would be the best. However these systems ran from the factory with the regulator just screwed to the firewall. So as long as it's bolted clean, tight, and the body has a good ground to the battery (usually right at the core support from the negative cable) it'll function...

    Big Thanks to the Help on my Last Problem and now....something new

    That is a 2 wire alternator. I see the one wire has been spliced. One wire should be hot with the key on (factory blue wire). The other is normally green and feeds from the regulator. The regulator should be the flat style with the triangle shaped plug. If the ground at the battery and the...

    Caster and Camber

    Adding positive caster lowers the attachment point of the outer tie rod. If the outer tie rod is lowered it will eventually cause bump steer. 2-3 degrees positive is plenty of caster. Run the camber -1/2 to 0 unless you are trying to autocross or do trackdays. Doug

    Winter plans for the Roadrunner

    For sure It's about ring seal. Assists with ring flutter and helps the ring seal in the piston groove. Pumping loss due to reduced crankcase pressure is an additional benefit. You won't find a high end wet sump engine without one if it's allowed by rules. Doug

    Re-use Transmission Bands or Replace?

    I never swap out reverse bands unless they are damaged. My racecar has had the same kickdown band since 2014. Close to 900 runs. Looks like new everytime it's been torn down. Doug

    Rebuilding LemonWedge.

    Either will work. When the current block didn't have the ear at the front the block idea was out. I came up with the transmission ear idea. Didn't know if it was strong enough when it was built. But they have proven themselves. Run the heims 90 degrees to each other to elimnate bind. These just...
