UPDATE:
I finally changed the exhaust flange gasket, still making that same clicking noise and now it seems there’s an oil leak (I’m assuming it needs a valve cover gasket as the smoke is coming from that side of the car and smells like oil) in that same side of the car. Could a valve cover...
I found the Mahle brand exhaust flange gasket. Should arrive in about a week or so. I appreciate everyone’s help so far! Hopefully this will fix it: I’ll post an update once I receive the part and I’m able to install it. Thanks again everyone and hope this works!
I ordered the exhaust flange gasket, should hear back Monday about availability. It’s a special order item at O’Reiley’s but it’s only $7 if they can get it. The other places I find it at online are the same product price but cost (lowest shipping price) $14 to ship! So I’m going to hopefully...
Is this the part I need? I realize from the feedback and reading in other threads in this forum that there is no gasket between the manifold and the cylinder heads. I may replace both sides if it’s only $8 per gasket. Here’s the link: is it an exhaust manifold flange gasket I need...
I’ll definitely look at that! However, when we remove the valve cover it goes away, so who knows. I’ll try this week and get back with an update. Thanks!
Hello! I have an odd issue I was hoping to get some help with, as this forum has been super helpful every time I’ve posted!
I have a 1970 383 4bbl in my 1969 Dodge Charger. I’ve been driving it a lot and it’s been running great all spring and summer. However, I start it up a few Sundays ago and...
I can’t wait! I unfortunately have to wait until I can get the resources to press forward on it, but I’m studying suspensions now: aftermarket, factory, full frame chassis,’ etc. Lots of fun studying the options now available! I lean now in the direction of modifying/upgrading the factory setup...
I'm launching my fitness channel on June 19th, so it's taking much of my time to do that. If I end up doing the GLRESTOMOD channel I'll let you know! I appreciate you asking!
**UPDATE**
Thanks to everyone who offered insight and helped! Ends up it was something to do with the firing and the timing. The vacuum advance was seized up. I ended up going with a Firecore distributor kit and a set of perfect fit plug wires and changed the spark plugs again. It came with the...
I've been testing and it seems like I still can't get it adjusted properly. I'll mess with it some more this coming weekend. I'm brand new to this and ignorant, but learning a lot. Hope to have it lined out by this weekend!
I finally was able to get the rough running issues resolved! However, I’ve been trying to adjust my kickdown linkage and throttle cable properly. It seems to shift fine, and when I test the kickdown it is all the way back/down on the transmission when at WOT. I even checked the position of the...
