    318 Runs Like Sh*t When Warm

    Thanks for the quick replies. I installed new plugs and wires when I installed the new intake last year. I did check 4 of the plugs this morning, they looked good. Doubt that it's vapor lock. Car has ran fine for years in the heat, we haven't hit 70 yet this year. KD. i've pretty much ruled out...

    318 Runs Like Sh*t When Warm

    Coming off the highway on to another road she started to sputter, we made it a mile before she quit. It wouldn’t restart. I waited 5 minutes, it started. We drove home (7miles), it started acting up again close to home. Figured I had some junk in the carb. Cleaned the carb, changed the fuel...

    Question on 360 SB

    I have a block that looks like it has a production date of 7-8-92. I read that starting in the 93 production year the 360 switched to the magnum block. This block is not a magnum and it seems aweful late in the year to still be making blocks for the 92 models. I could not find a vin # so I'm...

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    This took a bit more than one day. I needed more room for the vehicles so I removed the roof truss system in part of my garage/shop and installed a LVL ridge beam and rafters to give me clearance for two lifts (yes I had this checked by an engineer). After testing the lifts with wifes car I got...

    Ballast Resistor- how hot is too hot?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I was concerned it might damage the paint on the firewall. Was considering installing a spacer between the firewall and resistor, but according to twecomm, the firewall helps dissipate the heat.

    Ballast Resistor- how hot is too hot?

I checked the wires connected to the ballast resistor and they were only 100º. I took is for a spin and when I came back...

    Flex plate to converter issues-Problem Found

    Yanked engine out and removed tranny. If you look at the pic there is a raised section on the snout of the converter. I measured the snout and the back of the crank. The first section has plenty of clearance, but the raised section is too big. I'm going to spend a couple hours with an emery...

    Flex plate to converter issues-Problem Found

    I posted an earlier thread about a 3/16" gap between the flex plate and converter with the converter fully seated in the tranny, was told it was fine. When I try to bolt the flex plate up to the converter the converter will not pull in against the flex plate. I am bending the flex plate. I...

    torque converter to flex plate gap

    Thanks for all the replies. Yes I greased the snout of the converter with grease. Trans shop said to just coat the shaft in the tranny with tranny fluid, not grease. Dynamic told me to add one quart of oil into the converter before install. I know that the bolt pattern is offset. Before I...

    Torque Converter Brands- good, not so good

    Thanks for the replies. I called Dynamic this morning and spoke with Sean. Very helpful, took the time to explain how they build their converters. Their price was actually cheaper than the TCI from Summit. I did order a converter from them. Said I should see it within three weeks. :thumbsup:

    Clone wing cars $

    Ditto. I think you saw mine at Carlisle a few years ago. We put about 2,500 miles a year on our clone, which isn't bad considering where we live. Plus we have four other antique mopars we also drive.
