    Are My Oil Pressure Readings Normal

    I always thought cam bearing number 4 supplied the oil to the valve train. Regardless, cam bearing number 5 needs to be aligned properly. Also, there should be a plug in photo number 1 above below the "M" and a second plug in the "tube" pointed towards the ground in the same photo.

    Help ! No timing mark on the balancer, just the scale shown with no other marks ??

    Top of the block on the driver's side is a pad with the engine size and year. B is 66, C is 67, etc. Photo is a 70 413 industrial. "F" is 1970.

    Help ! No timing mark on the balancer, just the scale shown with no other marks ??

    I have to agree here with Chryco Psycho. I've been tuning my 70 Challenger for years with nothing but a vacuum gauge and Sears tachometer! Vacuum gauge for carburator tuning and RPM for timing! That's the way my dad taught me many years ago!

    NEED HELP - 1970 440 BOGS & DIES OUT AFTER 20 MINUTES to HALF HOUR DRIVING

    Is the choke working properly and opening up after warm up? Which carb are you running? Electric choke? Manual choke? Stock choke heated by intake? I'd make sure the choke is working properly. Are you running stock exhaust with the temperature controlled valve on the passenger side? Is it...

    A/C leaking water into car

    You could also remove the blower motor as on AC equiped cars, it comes out from the engine bay - three nuts. It might let you see if there's blockage.

    A/C leaking water into car

    Unfortunately you might have a leaking heater core. Do you run straight water in your coolant system (some people do!)?

    Off to the exhaust shop

    If sticking with the big block HP exhaust manifolds use 3" diameter pipe from the manifolds to about mid-transmission (5 to 6 feet long). Install your cutouts and then reduce to 2.5" pipes to the mufflers. Unfortunately Flow masters are made in China these days. 🙁 Any turbo type muffler will work.

    Highway de acceleration backfire

    You just need some better exhaust gaskets (copper or remflex) or machine the headers flat so they fit tight against the cylinder heads. From the factory Mopar used NO exhaust gaskets on big blocks.

    Yes, orange as opposed to red!

    Off to the exhaust shop

    You really can't beat a small custom exhaust shop! They can make a really nice exhaust for you!!

    got duel exhaust

    Two cylinder heads deserve two exhaust pipes! 318 engines do very well to modifications like dual exhaust and a four barrel carb! And the stock 340/360hp cam does well in the stock 318!

    E body and other mopar oddities.

    Unless someone can provide proof, no Barracuda/Cuda I know of had a partial/3/4 roof. That was a B/C body thing.

    Steering column too long for gear box.

    The Borgerson adapter needs welding, but Peter at Bergman Auto craft sells an adaptor you need! (Link might not be exact.) https://bergmanautocraft.com/product/borgeson-steering-box-small-sector/

    1970 Cuda Clone at Mecum Summer Special 2024

    That chrome mirror does draw too much attention to itself. I agree, painted black would've looked better.

    Hi from another Aussie

    If it was gator green, that's a rare option I'm my memory is correct.

    4429S carb on my 70 Cuda

    With stock exhaust manifolds on big blocks, I've had best luck changing them from underneath the car. Plus the cool concrete helps here in the desert!
