    undercoating

    Sorry, that I did not chim in earlier, I used the 3M undercoating in spray cans and it worked great. First I used a rust preventative paint like POR or Eastwood than apply the undercoating. This is not like this paste undecoating that everyone has seen on older cars, it is like having black...

    Car still stalling when put in gear?

    Ozsum, It must be getting late for both of us, I already tried a different carburetor so I think the idle circuit was changed :(

    Car still stalling when put in gear?

    I will try this and will close down the throttle plates by turning down the idle screw and making sure the secondary's are correct as well, but this does not explain the plugs burning good on some and not others. The other thing that doesn't make sense is that I have tried this when the problem...

    monte carlo brace

    Yes Brian you are correct, we are trying to help spread the shock towers apart so that it will fit. If you don't jack the car up from the center they cannot spread apart on there own. :nice:

    Quick Question

    Remember 69r your headers are ceramic coated and this will make a dramatic change in how much heat is put out. I would wait and see the boots don't cost that much and you should see this right away.

    AOD Shift Pattern?

    As was mentioned before turn the shift lever 180 degrees and it will work like it did on my 69 going from a FMX to AOD. The only thing I had to do is make a change to the shift lever gromet on the end and it bolted right up to my floor shifter. The other thing to remember is that if you rotate...

    Car still stalling when put in gear?

    Well here is the latest, and it just keeps getting better. I located another carb and installed it, started it up and the vacuum dropped to 15 in. and the idle was smoother and then I stuck it in reverse/drive and the engine stayed running with about 7 to 5 in. of vacuum bouncing back and forth...

    Car still stalling when put in gear?

    Thanks 302 for the input, The Secondary's getting cracked open is a little confusing, how would you do this on a vacuum secondary carb? Just to let you know I tried to enrich the mixture and just got tearing eyes from that.

    Car still stalling when put in gear?

    Good point Pabear, The intake is coming off next to check for leakage but no the plugs were speratic did not follow the planes. Yes all lines of vacuum have been capped, that was one benefit of having the AOD no vacuum needed for it. Thanks again for the input, there are no stupid...

    Car still stalling when put in gear?

    Thanks for the responses and I will try to give you more details. I would think Idle circuit might have been an issue but I tried two different carbs, the stock 4 barrell and now a 625 road demon. The torque converter is basically stock but remember that I had the FMX in with a new...

    Car still stalling when put in gear?

We are dealing with a 393W with an auto trans that will idle a little rough at idle 1K, and will sing at 4K. The issue is when I put it in drive/ reverse the eng. wil...

    FMX to AOD on a 351c

    The AOD transmission is about 3/4 in longer than the FMX and when I ordered my new trans yoke from NPD it was actually 3/4 in. shorter than the original yoke so no shaft needed at this time. The shifter linkage worked out with minor modifacation and one trans cooling line needed to be modified...

    Converting to power steering questions

    Shaun, Your best option is to get a setup from a donor car but if not you will need a new center link, hydraulic control valve, P/S cylinder, idler arm, hoses, pump and like you said misc. brackets and hardware. There are always people wanting to go to manual so look for the complete setups...

    AOD or C4 ANY THOUGHTS?

    Right now I am leaning towards an AOD that I can get for $300 with a shift kit, not new but was recently rebuilt and was running good before a T5 change. A C4 does not sound that bad but is that AOD that weak? I know my 393W will have some torq but you would figure that it could take some...

    Use RTV or not to use RTV

    I think you read earlier the reason for "Hating the stuff" is because most people do not know how to use it. I personally use it on almost all my gaskets, some good reasons were also mentioned, it holds the gasket in place and will help the gasket seal. If you want to use it with gaskets the key...

    AOD or C4 ANY THOUGHTS?

    Due to the issues with my FMX lately this is becoming more important to deal with. I know both of these will work but with my engine being a 393W I want to make sure it will last. If I purchase the C4 or the FMX what would I have to change or reuse? Big question but need some help, Thanks.

    I really hate transmission problems

    Well Gentlemen, it is always something! After many moons of the car sitting awaiting this day to leave the garage for the exhaust this problem showed up. First let me say the FMX transmission was rebuilt and the torque converter changed but has been sitting awhile. I first went and tried to...

    Proper Black Interior Paint?

    I have tried the correct black color interior paints, but like the Krylon #1613 the best. It is neither a gloss or flat and looks great.
