    Delayed reaction accelerator pump?

    The delay is not intentional. Is there any "slop" in the accelerator pump arm/rod/etc? If yes, maybe you can slightly bend the rod to take out that slop

    Which converter would you use, low bid project

    My gut instinct says go with the motor home converter

    Disadvantage of Steel Piston Rings & Wide Ring End Gaps?

    I'm building a 99% street nitrous motor. I'd like to build the engine to handle a 250-300hp nitrous shot. I'm pretty settled on some Icon 2618 forged pistons, but what about the rings? The Icons use 1/16", 1/16", 3/16" rings. I've previously run 125-150hp nitrous shot, but this is a new...

    Trashed rocker assembly?

    Dry Ice

    Maintenance used it at my work to clean a pump. The grease off the pump went everywhere

    Can it be saved

    The block is probably toast, but the crank is probably OK. I suggest you use a long, solid metal bar (rebar?) and drive the pistons up/out with a sledge hammer from below

    Snapped an idle mixture screw Carter AVS - HELP!!

    Dang, I’ve been running Holleys for a long time…. Does that mixture screw have a “pointed nose” and stick into a precision hole or something??? I’m guessing it’s a precision screw/hole. If yes, I don’t think your idea would work. Maybe try a top quality EZ out and go nuts with the torch? What...

    is it a problem this front transmission cover is missing??

    It’s not an immediate problem, but if it were me, I’d install a cover ASAP. You should check this site to buy one

    Would this shifter fit?

    Yes, that’s the one you need. Just double check to see if your shifter linkage is the bolt style (like this shifter), or bayonet style

    Disc/Drum Proportioning Valve

    Both of those same proportioning / hood off valves are on my OEM 70 front disc car & your rotors look like 70 rotors. Was it a late 69 build?

    1970 318, Rockers installed on wrong side

    ‘66 console satellite - driver side accelerator pedal clearance?

    smaller feet. It’s tight there. I’ve been thinking about seeing if I can shift the console 1” right (?)

    440 Fuel Pump pushrod issues result in NO PUMP?

    Yeah, sounds like the pump isn’t moving

    Driveshaft Length 1971 Four Speed Satellite

    Hmmmm….any plans for an 8-3/4”? I suspect the length is different and the 8-1/4” will break really quickly
