just to clarify for us rookies - "double pumper" = mechanical secondary carb, correct? I also have an auto trans 727 and am running a vacuum secondary holley type Quick Fuel carb. A few of my mopar friends run mechanical secondary carbs with their automatic 440's and tell me after trying them...

...factory shroud now, but it doesn’t fit the best. I’m headed to a junkyard this weekend. What shroud should I look for? It’s a 26-inch. I’m sure I will have to modify the junkyard shroud & I honestly don’t care if I use a (*gasp*) shroud from a different make of car. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I bought and installed my first cam, an Sig Erson TQ 20, around the mid 70's in a sbc. Erson cams paperwork , at that time, stressed the need for "cam break in". It simply entailed , DO NOT IDLE, take the engine to a minimum 2200 rpm for 25 minutes. Stated this could be done in the car, on a...

Know what you mean. Had a new top put on my Satellite told the guy wanted it inside at night. I was so paranoid after work 7pm drove 20 miles out of the way to check. It was inside.

Can you please send me a picture of the parts and the date codes on them. I have a buddy of mine that is one of the 3 foremost authorities on 1967 GTX’s in the country that wants to see them. According to him there wasn’t a date code on 66 or 67’s. Started in 68. Some people mistake the 5 digit...

You could try moparmark on this website too. I’ve gotten OEM rails from him in the past

The engine ran just fine last year. The only thing I have changed is the MSD ignition system The cam is .544/.541 hyd roller. I run 15 degrees at idle I will mess with the timing and see if I can get this figured out

I stand corrected; did not know that. Seems like it it would be a nice feature though.

EDIT - apologies - that was a screen shot of an example and not my actual cap. I've updated my earlier post as well for correction. Even bigger apologies - I just ran down to the garage and looked and my cap is not vented underneath - my memory must be shot. It's flat. So on mine it's just a...

About the time they took ZDDP out of the oil because of catalytic converters. Yes, excess zinc, specifically in the form of ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate), can damage a catalytic converter. While zinc is beneficial for engine lubrication, when it burns in the combustion chamber, it can...

I was going through the MP Engine manual last night, looking at valve spring info. This was a Carol Shelby edition, so probably mid 90’s. Not a word about cam break in. There was only a reference to problems due to mismatched (too heavy) springs, lobe scuffing, etc.

Did the factory run the engines on a test stand before assembly. I know John Deere runs everyone on the dyno to break it in and check for leaks and issues. I know, at a car factory that would be a lot of engines to run.

yeah, on posts it's there.. on a thread it's not.. :(

I don’t remember a mention of cam failures until the early 80s when some stories of flat cams in Chevy and Oldsmobile engines from the late 70s on (from memory) started showing up. I think they were blaming poor metallurgy in the camshafts for that.

There is a delete and edit option that stays available for a day or a couple days on posts. They're found in the text box bottom left. Not sure how long it remains available, but seems to be a day or two.

thanks, but I partially disagree. It depends on the car stereo speakers and the external amp. I forgot to say that the external amp I ran was a Concorde with a true 40W RMS, which put out a higher clean Watts than most of the 40W max amps at the time. Before that I tried a 200W amp to power my...

Look at the speaker specs and it will mention a cabinet size, or say "infinite baffle".
