Hey guys - getting the car ready for the year - doing some testing, new alternator, etc. When motor got to operating temp I noticed some smoke/blow by near the carb base on passenger side - behind and below the electric choke (eddy 1411). Never noticed this blow by before. Thoughts? Thanks.

Big block 727 auto trans behind a 440. Have had this for a few years - just wondering your guys’ thoughts. Routine - Start in Neutral - let it warm up, put into gear and it pops into gear right away. Mostly reverse to back off of lift. Once I get into street, I shift to N let it idle for a...

Thought I developed an exhaust leak while driving last night - just didn’t sound right. Get home and can determine ticking/knock coming from front passenger side. Pull #2 spark plug and knock disappears. Ok it’s from there. Pull valve cover - visually inspect rocker arms and push rods on #2 and...

Hey guys - sorry - another question. Still tackling these issues to get it ready for the year. Changed header gaskets, new valve cover gaskets, new oil (Amsoil ZRod), and added a M/E Wagner PCV Valve setup (still dialing in). While tuning the pcv valve I noticed a new oil leak on the passenger...

Hey guys - 440 and what I thought (and guess still could be) was an oil leak stemming from the rear passenger valve cover - now has me wondering. Drivers side is completely dry and no sweating on the head/block area. Passenger side - wet on head and block by 6 and 8. What I noticed when I shut...

Hey guys - researched and read through all the threads on this topic. Hoping for guidance on my specific situation. 440, stock cast iron heads and put on new valve covers. Installed Fel-Pro 1612s with permatex RTV Black to the gaskets and married them to the valve covers themselves - laid them...

Just curious on your guys’ experience. In racing applications I’ve experienced this - but that was with 500hp motors in dirt. 440 mild build - stock 26” rad with steel fan and shroud. Typically doesn’t get hot while driving - creeps up to the first line on the temp gauge at idle but doesn’t...

440 motor - has a mild cam but don’t have specs on motor when I bought it. 750 eddy carb, run a mix of 110 and 92 octane gas, just put in new plugs, has old headers (that has the annoying tick tick leak ha). Motor temp is fine - (it’s been almost 90) - but after driving a little while I just...

Recommendations on what you guys use on a big block 727 trans? Factory manual says “Transmission Fluid AQ-ATF-2351A, Suffix A” and Part Number 1843314. I’ve used Amsoil Full Synthetic in an older GM Turbo 400 trans and liked it - but is $11 a quart. What do you guys recommend for a 727? Thanks!
