My experience, the 0 at the keyway designates 0 degrees, then line up the 0 on the sprocket to the cam gear. Same method for the R -retarded, and A for advanced. 3 key way slots, 3 timing marks depending on what your goal is.

Yes, most are Chinese junk, most people carry spares with them, along with spare voltage regulator and electronic module. Not like the old days when parts lasted forever.

I replaced mine with thin wire rope 3/32” I think and metal crush sleeves from Home Depot. Cost less than 10.00 to do both seats. Both tracks should engage and disengage when you move the lever.

I have a SB 340 with a leaky rear main. Can this be changed with engine in place without dropping the crank.

if it was my car, I would run 3.55 rear. Best to get 489 case, they have a larger pinion. I run a 3.23 with 15” tall tires, at 65 mph, you would be turning around 1,800 rpm. New challengers use 3.08 rears, but have 20” rims. Use this chart to calculate your rpm vs mph.

I bought kick panels with speakers installed. I also bought a dual channel dash speaker for my convertible. It does get loud with the top down. I would never cut the rear panels, but that’s because I am not a rich man lol.

Yes and yes, reads full but drops quickly to half tank. Takes 5 gallons to fill up to full when it reads half.

Surprise, my fuel gauge drops quickly after 3/4 of a tank. I have changed senders, and adjusted the float. Has anyone tried one of these ohm calibration boxes?

If you look up them on AutoZone website, scroll down in the description and the exact size specs are listed. Timkin uses item numbers such as SET2 and similar.

Classic car wiring.com. Mine was color, laminated, double sided. 8x11”. I recommend the oversized unit, a lot of small lines. Best part is they are made for each model year and which dash style you have. Best tool I ever bought.

I did this on my 371 Stroker with a Vintage air system. I tapped off the compressor power lead. Works great, but sometimes I have to bump the throttle to get it to engage. The solenoids are not strong enough to push the linkage to raise the rpm’s, they extend and lock open to prevent the linkage...

I went ahead and pulled the thermostat; it was marked as a 180 degree. When i put in hot water, it started to open at 180 and popped fully open at 185 degrees. I bought a 195-degree unit at Advance Auto, (in stock for 9.49). The gauge moved higher, and the Infared thermostat read 183 degrees on...

I built the motor, it is a 180 thermostat, has always run on the cold side, been together a few years now.

I know most members have the opposite problem, so, what is the best solution to get it up? Engine block is cooler than that.
