What car? What carburetor and ignition do you have? Is the fuel fresh?

Yeah. Doing it on your back is real fun too. Love all that stinky gear oil running down your arm. Last time I did that my son helped me. Ah the memories!

I've done that too, but even getting that doggone chunk up on the jack is a struggle!!!

Wow, 4.56! Bet you could climb a telephone pole with that! Swapping 3rd members is not difficult when you're 25 but as we get older not so much! Ugh!

Yeah, you have to send it to youtube, then you can post the link from that youtube video.

That AVS2 will work very well for you. I also see you're using the Lokar throttle & kickdown cable system. I've used that setup on 3 of my Mopars and has been great. So much better than trying to find OE style brackets & rods and making them work with aftermarket intakes. I see the carb studs...

Good for you for pulling the trans and preparing for a teardown! Tom's book will be a big help. Sounds like the transmission cooler setup is fine. Running a secondary cooler after the radiator is quite common, and will help the transmission stay cool. This is especially important if using a...

A mechanics stethoscope is a friend when isolating noises. Not expensive thru amazon.

Beautiful car! Glad you're enjoying it!!!

My wife had a seam ripper because she loved to sew. Would be tempted to "borrow" hers but I guarantee she would chase me around with her Fiskars scissors for even THINKING of taking her stuff!

You had the problem begin after changing the cam. Did you degree the cam or stick it in "dot to dot"? If the latter you'd be surprised at how off the marks on the gears are. I had a guy build my 440 and it ran like a dog. Ended up going to a different block using the same cam & heads... but the...

I got adjustable upper arms from BAC. My alignment tech thanked me because it was so simple to adjust. Can also get much more caster than other methods.

You're dating yourself! Was a great commercial! Did the little guy say "and I helped" or "and I hepped"?

Ethanol free fuel costs more and down here is only 90 octane... which is inadequate for higher compression engines. I need to run 93 to make my engine happy.

The Dougs D453 would be a good header for your car.
