    VIN 727 transmission question?

    Hi, I'm selling my 727 transmission and a guy wanted my VIN, so I gave him what is just above the pan. It's comes out to a 67-68 383 2br He said that's not the VIN, it should be stamped where the bellhousing is bolted on to the engine. I see nothing! Then I read something that they didn't...

    Should the speedometer cable spin freely in the transmission?

    I just bought new autometer gauges that came with a new speed sensor. It will not calibrate. I checked down below at the transmission and the "cable" just spins freely. The stock speedometer didnt work before either, I assumed it was the speedometer, perhaps it's the speedometer gear in the...

    First start with new cam/ heads won't stay running

    I finally am at the point I can start the engine for the first time. I felt good for a moment. It started! Then died. Then Started! Then died. It's not backfiring or anything, it starts right up, but dies right away. I read it's bad to keep trying to start a engine on a fresh cam... but...

    Would you use these for cam bolts?

    It appears my cam bolts barley scrape the aftermarket cam cover. I saw someone using alloy steel button hex bolts. These definitely would work! From what I have read Alloy Steel should be about grade 8. Would these still need a washer?

    Oil pump questions

    Just bought a new Melling M-63HV oil pump. I was reading how it should be cleaned and lubed with Vaseline? I have a new cam with break in oil. Will the Vaseline mess with the break in process?? I thought about just using break in lube instead of the Vaseline. Any ideas? Thanks!

    What headers fit the Eldebrock RPM heads??

    I have Hooker headers, but I can't get the spark plug socket to fit in the #7 cylinder. I've been beating on the thing without much luck. The sad part is there is already a factory dimple there, just isn't deep enough and extra hard to create a bigger dimple when a crease is already there...

    Are these pushrods stronger than stock?

    I am getting the Whiplash cam, my understanding is that stock length will work, but I'm afraid of the stock pushrods bending. For the price will these be a better/stronger choice? COMP Cams 7883-16 COMP Cams High Energy Pushrods | Summit Racing
