    Engine problem

    My recently rebuilt 512 sixpack with Al. heads and a modest cam with hydraulic followers starts from cold and runs well. However sometimes when hot the (mini) starter struggles to crank the engine and it spits back through the middle carb. Allow to cool and it starts fine. Timing is set at 35...

    Six Pack contradiction.

    Finally fitted my six pack to my 440. A while ago I downloaded information on tuning them (can't remember where from). One author says - ",.....I like a six pack to come in quick,....you'll have to buy 2 spring kits, replace with the "white" springs if you want a quick responding set-up,....if...

    Door closing rattle

    I did the inside of outer skin but not under the plastic panel. Will do that too. My panels are leather trimmed which probably helps. Hinges are rebuilt.

    Door closing rattle

    Yes, I have vapour barrier. I guess I must just go through everything and make sure it's tight and damped or insulated. The cloth on the lock/handle rods may make a difference too.

    Already done that - perhaps I'm being too picky!

    Door closing rattle

    No cloth sleeves. Will fabricate something. It varies with window location. Worse when down. Both doors.

    Door closing rattle

    70 Challenger. I THINK I have everything assembled correctly but there is a rattle when I close them. I have new cats whiskers and the top adjustable dampers against the glass are in place. Even if I hold the glass whilst closing it still does it. Could someone please suggest what to look at to...
