Great thank you….

Helpful thank you… well not sure what else it could be. Runs great all the time. If I get stuck in traffic and the temp gauge rises a bit it gets sloppy until it cools. Fan, shroud all in place. New radiator and always runs at the same temp until stops and then raises just a bit.. Perhaps a...

Hey Guys. 72 Cuda 440/727. Vapor Lock stumble if stuck in traffic. I Live in LA, so it’s unavoidable. Running a brand new Holley with vapor separator. My plan was to add the cool carb shield under it. Dude from The company said I must block the Heat exchanger so it won’t melt the plate...

Perfect thank you.....

Obviously not. Thanks Pal..

Hi Guys, I have a 72 barracuda with a 440. Anyway to confirm if the proper springs were installed in the front suspension, by whoever did the motor swap.? I am just guessing the big block used different coil springs than the small block.

Hi guys, I have a 72 Cuda with a new fuel tank in it. When I fill the car I get fuel leaking from the top of the tank somewhere. It stops after a few miles of driving. Would the suspected culprit be the large rubber o ring at the filler neck.? Thanks in Advance.

Than you for the info Ray. I did notice a small crack in the right side header today, I’ll try tweaking the carb a bit.

I have a 72 barracuda 440/727. Holley carb/Headers. Car runs great but I do get some backfire under de acceleration on the highway. Is this normal if it’s performance tuned? Would it e fuel or timing related.? Thanks in Advance Guys…
