    Brake Line Fabrication

    OK, I am at a crossroads here. Apparently, my engine does not make enought vacuum to operate my power brake booster. I am currently looking at two options and wanted to know if any of you have tried these or know someone who has. I am also open to other options. -Hydro-Boost Power Brake...

    Hellcat to 68' Charger

    Saw this short video online. A company out of Pennsylvania will take a Hellcat and transform it into a 1968 Charger using carbon fiber body panels. I found it interesting. If anyone has an extra 300K that's burning a hole in their pocket, you can be the first one on your block to own...

    Brake Line Fabrication

    Members, I have a question concerning disc brake caliper position. I have seen pictures of challengers online where some will have the caliper on the leading edge and some will have the caliper on the trailing edge. Is there one right way or a prefered method, or it doesn't matter? It's a bit...

    Are My Oil Pressure Readings Normal

    That is so crazy. Good thing you notice it before you assembled, installed, and mounted it to the tranny. I think Mine is ok. I would have seen a mess of oil ont the floor when the engine was on the stand and I was priming the oil pump. Thanks for the info. Another thing to be mindful of on the...

    Are My Oil Pressure Readings Normal

    I did have a high volume oil pump installed. I figured that could be th problem so I replaced it with a stock pump. Once I start driving it regularly, I will see what happens. Thanks much.

    Timing Issue

    Yes. I understand that what you have mentioned may be the final setting. However, the last part of my question is still unanswered. after setting the dial to 20° and bringing the engine to 2500 or so rpms and rotating the distributor, should the timing mark be back at the original location of...

    Timing Issue

    Yes, I have a mild cam that is close to a stock cam. I made sure of that. You didn't mention anything about where the timing mark should end up after I bring the engine to 2500 rpms and rotate the distributor. Should it be back at the original location of 10° BTDC or at 0° TDC? I still don't...

    Heater Hose Verification

    From what I have read online, the heater core should flow from the bottom up. It helps to remove any air that may be trapped in the system. Now comes the fun part. I searching heater cores and have found two different configurations. One will have the left (inlet) tube that goes to the bottom of...

    Heater Hose Verification

    I don't recal if the valve was open or not. Yesterday I drained more than a gallon so I could switch the hose today. I had the engine running when I put the coolant back in. I left the cap off so that any air bubbles could escape. Will have to work with it and see what I can do.

    Heater Hose Verification

    Sooooo, I connected my hoses like yours, but the engine did not like that. It ran hot and a lot of coolant came through the overflow tube. I think I will switch it back to how I had it before. On the heater core, with both the nipples being the same size, does it really matter which is the inlet...

    Heater Hose Verification

    Your absolutely correct......a thousand words indeed. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that my enginine is a Big Block, so it's configured a bit differently. Let's see if I can determine the flow from your picture: 1. The hose from the intake next to the thermostat must be the outlet from the...
