According to my Motors Manual, dual inline four bbl 383 was only available for 1962 & 63.

'crack by the shifting mech'. There is a seal for the shifter sleeve to stop fluid leakage. If the crack is close enough to the hole, heat distortion from welding may mean the seal doesn't fit/leaks. I do not know why you would use a welded case when you have a perfectly good case sitting next...

Just use Silicon.

Rebuild the trans with the undamaged case.

The front clutch is engaged for Reverse & Drive. So if you are getting 1 & 2 when in D, & also getting Rev, rules out the front clutch.

If you want to use a cam with more lobe lift [ smaller base circle ], you could use lash caps on the valve tips to take up the difference.

The water pump needs to be OVERDRIVEN 10-20%. More info: www.stewartcomponents.com

Wheel alignment. It's horses for courses. Some folk like to chuck their cars around corners to the car's limit. I used to be like that, but as I have gotten older, I am more interested in driver comfort/convenience. Happy to sacrifice a few mph in cornering speed if the ride is more...

What is the idle vacuum with the VA unit connected to manifold vacuum? The man vac port is the lower port on the front of the carb.

To determine the correct amount of idle timing, you do this simple 5 min test: - engine warmed up to operating temp, mixture adjusted as best as possible, engine idling in gear. - slowly rotate dist CW [ advances the timing ]. - keep going until you get the highest rpm/smoothest idle. Toggle the...

Virg, The centri curve & total mech advance is the LAST thing you do..... The First thing you do is get the idle timing correct. Failure to do this will result in the car not performing at it's best. One member has already told you his combo needed 60* at idle. Hint, hint.

I didn't read anywhere that this is a drag race only car. This is what MVA can do.....

I wouldn't use the MSD plug; it doesn't have a ribbed insulator. The ribs extend the surface length from the terminal to the plug body. The increased length makes it harder for the spark to 'leak' away to ground.

Nope, the 800 AVS....is 800cfm, not 750. Edel made ALL the throttle bores 1/16" larger on the 800m carbs v the 750 carbs. 1 3/4" v 1 11/16".

Thanks for the reply. I do not see a problem with the contact patch moving further out on the lifter surface. The actual contact area is very small because of the lobe taper/crown on the lifter. It is so small that the oil gets squeezed out because of the high, concentrated load; the end result...

And...

Post #11. Sounds like you have vac adv connected to a man source [ MVA ]. That is GOOD. But that often leads to quotes suçh as 'MVA didn't work for me', when the real problem is the MVA was not dialled in... MVA itself was not the problem. The fact that MVA only added 10* of timing makes me...

Ceedawg, I also know who is talking rubbish....& it is not me. Do you think when they regrind a cam they only grind the base circle area......& leave the rest of the worn lobe untouched & blend it into the newly ground section?????????? Ready to destroy the new lifters that will...
