    Parking / Emergency Brake Electrical Connection - Question

    I had a brand new master cylinder do that. Never assume new parts are good parts! If the rear shoes are adjusted properly (both sides just start rubbing the drum when turned) and the MC was thoroughly bled, then there is not much else in your hydraulic system that could cause that other than air...

    Sorry 'bout that. I fixed the earlier link.

    Rear end rattles

    At my age I have some rattles and clunks too. Everything is tight though!

    Well done! Looks great!

    Blue light defuser

    Not sure but if you can't find any you could replace the bulbs with blue LED's. I got mine from LED Lighting For Everything | Super Bright LEDs If you can't find the correct pieces you may want to replace the bulbs with blue LED's. That's what I did on my car and it looks great.

    Parking / Emergency Brake Electrical Connection - Question

    Yes, just plug that male wire into the connector. When the brake handle is pulled the socket makes contact & is grounded thus completing the circuit. It should activate the parking brake light on your dash.

    Timing

    Maybe the attached diagram will help. Remove #1 spark plug (front plug on drivers side) and bump the starter while you have your finger over the spark plug hole. When you feel the pressure of the piston coming up to TDC, remove the distributor cap and see where the rotor is pointing. That will...

    Engine stalling when in gear.

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

    Stock 340 - Swap 3.23 for 3.91 gears - is Suregrip overkill?

    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!

    Stock 340 - Swap 3.23 for 3.91 gears - is Suregrip overkill?

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

    Stock 340 - Swap 3.23 for 3.91 gears - is Suregrip overkill?

    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!

    New 512 build planning

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

    New 512 build planning

    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...

    TF727 suddently started slipping

    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...

    Tick in my 360 la

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

    Harness Wrapping

    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!

    Issues with bogging and suspected fuel pump output...

    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...
