    Tranny Fluid question

    I'll agree with that. Been racing 1/4 mile for decades using Dextron. Back in the 90's I tried a season with type F on a new rebuild. I really couldn't tell if the trans shifted firmer (4000+ stall converter) but end of season teardown revealed beat up brass with type F. Never again.

    Nylon collar for B/RB distributors

    So I found myself a distributor (383) and took it apart and cleaned it up good. When driving the rollpin that holds the nylon collar she decided to let go. Anyone got a lead of where one can acquire one? Thanks

    WTB 383/400 factory distributor

    Looking for a factory B engine distributor that works with the factory electronic ignition. Nothing fancy and the dirtier the better.

    Who has NEVER had a cam or lifter go bad?

    I was about 12 for 12 until 3 years ago. I built a bit spicy 350 Chevy, with a hydraulic cam/lifters with around 0.5" lift. Exhaust cam lobe #8 got wiped out pretty quickly (Summit cam). I replaced it with a similar Comps cam and everything was fine after break-in. I avoided one on a 383 with a...

    Low compression on rebuilt 440

    I'll be doing this in a month or so. I've thought about taking an old torque converter and cut off most of the converter so that only the ring gear and fllexplate mounts are left. Anybody try this?

    Distributor created equal

    Really can't go wrong with a factory distributor that isn't worn out. The only issue that I've seen on a distributor machine is the spark scatter. The timing of each cylinder will vary +/- 1.5° from cylinder #1. Some of the new ones don't have a stop for the mechanical advance so this can...

    Anyone replace garage door springs themselves?

    Looks like a 3" diameter PVC pipe should contain the shrapnel.
