    351 in my '68, manual TCP Rack - which headers?

    yeah. Im sure there are less expensive ones that will fit. but these are thick tubing, thick flanges. if i remember right they were coated inside and out. had them for year and 8 months, coating still looks new. the clutch cable runs inbetween a couple of the tubes. I just put one of those...

    351 in my '68, manual TCP Rack - which headers?

    I have a set of FPA ceramic coated headsers.. I was very impressed with the fit and quality on them. I have a 69 with 302 with TCP power rack, TKO600 cable clutch and no clearance issues with anything. Call FPA. The person I talked to was very helpful.

    School me on distrubutors..

    My initial is 10... Last time i timed it was a year ago when I had my engine out to put a 5spd in and to repaint the engine.. I noticed an increase in RPM when I hooked the line back up. The line is on the "timed" port the holley says to use for distributors. Its on the passenger side of the...

    Starter wont stop engaging

    since it worked fine before then failed, my first guess is a stuck starter relay, sticking in the "start" position allow current to keep flowing to the starter. Follow the positive battery cable to a cylindrical piece on the inner fenders. You'll see some small wires and another big wire on the...

    Suspension prob

    When you installed the parts did you move each individual part through its range of travel without anything being connected? Then again move the suspension through its travel with all the parts connected to see if the binding is there? If so was everything free? Does it make any noises...

    Carb tuning - accel pump

    Im at about 1000 fet, density altitude would be closer to 2-3000 the advance was only plugged for setting the timing, its hooked up during operation. i used to run the lightest spring but honestly I noticed no difference other than really bad mileage so I through the black one back in when...

    Carb tuning - accel pump

    Well I took my cam off and compare them side to side with each one in the cam kit that Holley makes and put the orange one in because it had the quickest and highest lift right off idle then the others and the stutter went away, doesn't hesitate in hard shifts anymore but the meter still shows...

    Wideband recommendations

    well i went with the LM-2 kit from Innovate. got it installed today. cruise is about 13ish and full throttle is 10-11. I noticed when I am in 4th gear(on a 5spd) at 2000rpms, ill smoothly push the pedal down about a 1/4 way and the AFR goes to 16 and sometimes 17 then it comes back down.. I...

    Wideband recommendations

    I just ordered the LM2 about. Innovate recommended I put it right after the collector and swap it from side to side to verify both sides are good. Hope to have it plugged in this weekend.

    Wideband recommendations

    I am looking into getting a a.f ratio monitor. I am not planning on installing it permanently, just plan on using it for tuning so I was looking at the single sensor kits. I have a mild 302, edelbrock performer rpm heads, edelbrock air gap rpm dual plane manifold, crane energizer 260 cam...

    What Spark Plugs should I use?

    whatever plug you decide on, make sure you check with your cylinder head manufacturer and get the correct REACH and seal type. I have edelbrock performer rpm head on my 302 which aside from displacment is pretty similar build to yours, and if I remember correctly they require a 14 mm, 3/4 inch...

    Anyone with a 275/60/15 m/t street radial on a 15x8 wheel?? Need a BIG Favor!

    cant help you with the measurements but I have a 245/60 on a 15x8 wheel and the tire already overlaps the rim. You really need a wider wheel for that size of tire. If you put that tire on a 8 inch wide wheel, any extra width you gain is going to go mostly in overlapping and bulging over the...

    ok to sand blast pot metal??

    i would think sand will be ok as long as you keep the nozzle moving.. maybe keep it a little further away than normal.

    Rear End Lift

    air shocks are ok as long as you dont try to use them to raise the rear end by increasing the pressure. increasing the pressure in a air shock to raise the rear end result in a lot of extra load on the upper shock mount and they can rip through the trunk floor.
