    Installation Tips for Longtube Headers in 383

    Painted headers ... they'be rotted out by this time next year !! The first set of headers I bought back in '73 were $49.. The ballpeen was the most useful tool during the install ! One side hung so low it caught on something when I was backing up and crumbled that side. The next set were...

    Installation Tips for Longtube Headers in 383

    Well this speaks volumes. This "kit" you bought - does it include the full exhaust from the headers back? If not, then you're back at square one - having an exhaust shop bend up and weld the connections to you existing system. It'd be a good idea to tell us which "kit" you bought !!

    Installation Tips for Longtube Headers in 383

    Good point. Good idea to drain the coolany !! The new headers will likely come with bolts - have some gasket sealant (not silicone !!) on hand to coat them when you install them.

    Installation Tips for Longtube Headers in 383

    Not a job for the meek !! First tip is to buy a quality set of headers. You will curse every moment if you cheap out !! Second tip ... RARELY will you find a set of headers that are a perfect fit - all bolts line up and the pipes clear everything. Have a ballpeen hammer on hand. Third - you...

    Engine ground

    You always hear the "woulda, coulda, shoulda" but very few people consider that the MAIN reason every car on the planet is built is PROFIT. And that's a capital EVERY - doesn't matter what the final sales price or what purpose it serves, PROFIT is the goal.

    Engine ground

    Your spark plugs need a good ground !! FWIW, my trunk mounted battery grounds to the bracket between the inner fender and dutchman panel. Up front it grounds from the frame to the block. The efi and MSD get a seperate ground off the battery.

    valve cover fitment issues

    The blue tape area is the only place that had to be ground off on my Indy eZ-1's for distributor clearance (any distributor !!). In Indy's infinite wisdom they provided plenty of room - on the OTHER END of the head - but failed on this end. It didn't take them long to catch the problem as...

    valve cover fitment issues

    I doubt they're all from the same mold BUT when someone manufactures a head for a big block Mopar, they tend to stick with the exterior parameters of a stock head so other aftermarket products such as intakes, valve covers and distributors will fit - otherwise they'd have to make that stuff for...

    Wiring Questions / Discussion

    Just WHAT and HOW MUCH "chemicals" are you planning to use around your battery cables ?!?! In my humble opinion "heat" should be your main concern when it comes to the sleeving - and don't be fooled into thinking any kind of "heat wrap" is going to help! Standard welding cable insulation will...

    Wiring Questions / Discussion

    Bulkhead connectors were great for assembly lines - subsystems like dashes, engines, etc. could be prewired and just plugged in as the vehicle progressed down the line. On custom cars they can be handy in that you don't have a huge, complete harness to contend with and, quite importantly...
