    C4 HELP NEEDED!

    Sorry for the long and confusing post, I'm trying to make the most sense out of this that I can. I have been having problems with my c4 transmission for while now. I put a hot new 347 in my '66 and put a B&M shift kit in to freshen up the tranny. Obviously something wasn't right because it blew...

    C4 leak

    Okay, so the C4 transmission from my '66 has been leaking lately out of the gap in the inspection cover. It was leaking from inside the bellhousing so my first guess was that the front pump seal blew out. I pulled the engine out this weekend to replace the front pump seal but it looked great...

    Looking for a 9 inch

    I've been looking for a 9 inch rear to swap into my 66 lately and I know the 57-59 rancheros are supposed to fit in well but how about a 1960-ish ranchero? I'm thinking the donor is the second generation of the ranchero. I crawled underneath and it measured out at like 52 1/2 for just the bare...

    Need to find the right damper/balancer

    Hi all. Alright so I'm trying to time my engine but the timing marks are off a whole 2 inches from where they should be. So I guess what I think my options are would be to either get a new one or simply get a timing tape. Do you think my damper slipped? I've heard of them slipping and although...

    Weird timing issues

It sounds timed right by ear at idle. It idles abnormally high, 1200, and idle varies and doesn't have a real radical cam. The damper...

    Electric Fuel Pump Size

    Hey everybody I just put in my new CHP 347 the last couple weekends and ran into some fuel problems or lack thereof. I've got the engine tuned well but it will only idle for 1-2 minutes. I've got a speed demon 650 and you can just see the fuel disappear through the sight bowls. Alright so the...

    MSD 6AL worth it?

    Hey everybody I am wanting to get a nice new MSD ignition system and was wondering if a MSD 6AL or 6Al-2 was worth the extra money. Without the ignition box I was going to get the 8352 Ready-To-Run Distributor, with the ignition box I would get an 8479 Pro-Billet Distributor. I was going to get...

    Looking for a 347

    Ive been looking for a 347 stroker long block or crate to put in my 66. I've narrowed it down to either Coast High Performance and DSS Racing. Ive heard good things of both companies but can anyone tell how well theirs works? The one from CHP has a compression ratio of 10.80:1, can I run a...
