DOT 4 brake fluid loves moisture. Pour some on the ground and wash it away with the water hose. I don't use it anymore. Yes, just replace all of it. One of the first things I did with my cars, brake and fuel system replacement.
I too have AFR's. Sometimes I just think that they are lying. I tried all of the 'How to tune a Sixpack'. My carbs have all new needles and seats, filters at the inlets, new Carter fuel pump, Promax base plates, and metering plates,blah, blah, blah. Something was always causing my plugs to...
My fuel pressure didn't seem that high, 7.5. Lowered it to 5, had to raise the bowl levels back up to the bottom of the hole. Removed the Promax jet plates on the end carbs and put the metering plates back in for the time being, 4.5 power valve. Most of my issues have gone away. It will be...
Your plugs look like mine did on my 6-pack, before I got control of my fuel pressure. I am a believer in retorquing the cyl heads, I know that there are nay sayers to that position. A little late for that. Look closely for your leak, oil can travel.
Oh I did experiment! I too have all of the Promax parts, except the center carb. For me, lowering the fuel pressure changed everything. Fuel bowl levels, power valve and jetting. I had gotten very discouraged after reading all of the info on how to tune a 6-pack. All of the do this...
Tears me up seeing this at times. A friend of a friend of mine has a stock 318 '69 Satellite, been sitting out side of his garage for 14 years or so. Un molested car. Would have been a nice driver when it was parked, and the clock just keeps on ticking.
On my small block stroker Dart, I had a Real Gasket silicone gasket at the thermostat housing, never had a problem with it, until I installed the Flowkooler pump. It blew the gasket out two times in a row. Then went to an o-ringed thermostat housing, problem solved. Just saying that I...
I do not have the Flowkooler water pump on my Hemi, maybe in the future. I haven't driven it yet. Have one on my small block, it's a good pump. Do not know if the impeller is the same for a big block.
He's giving us oil pressure numbers, does the stock gauge do that? I have used an oil pump gasket on a small block, or not, no change in oil pressure, for me.
Sell the power stuff and go back to manual. I know, you don't want to hear that! None of my 3 cars have power brakes, I surely do not have trouble stopping them, and one is a Hemi.
I have the same oil pressure as yours with a HV pump. I have been using 10-40 Lucas classic hot rod oil. Been this way for going on 4 years, 418 stroker. Your engine should be fine, drive it, you will be disappointed if you do all that work and nothing changes. Don't ask me why.
