Well mystery solved. Was talking to one of the guys in the shop today about the problem and he also told me to check the camshaft for lobe failure. Some of the older state trooper cars, he used to work on, had identical symtoms. Sure as s%#t, 1 lobe rounded with two more on the way. I never...

It seems to pop as soon as you floor it and the secondary air door opens up. The door seems to have tension on it. I did have to remove the door to replace the piece of missing choke linkage, but I made sure the spring did not unwind. The PCV valve is still hooked up and is the one that was on...

Recently had the heads on my 1969 440 engine in my 1970 GTX redone due to a piece of carb linkage falling down into the engine and taking out 3 cylinders. Now after reassembly I am experiencing a popping through the carb( Carter AVS) when the secondaries kick in. Not a single pop like a timing...

Finally found the culprit that caused the damage to the engine. I don't know how I missed it when I ripped the engine down. The linkage that attaches to the choke flap fell off got sucked into the engine. The link is missing along with the bracket that attaches to the flap itself. Now shape and...

Thanks for the name and number. I will give him a shout once I get the engine out and ready of assembly. Rich

Thanks for the replies. How do I get in touch with Bob K? Does he have a web site or contact number ? Any issues with low vacuum with one of his cams? I just don't want a car that turns heads with a nice idle but is not enjoyable to drive. I had a brand x with a big block that was one of those...

Well finally got to take the cover off the GTX and wake up the bear from its winter hibernation. Checked fluid levels backed out of the garage and took a spin around the block to warm it up for its oil change and spring shake down. Car was running great. Suddenly about 3 miles from home I felt a...

I have a 1970 GTX with a 1968 440 engine in it. The engine has been into before I bought the car. No ideas on the specs at all on it. It doesn't seem too radical. I decided to check the condition of the timing chain on the engine. I lined up the timing mark on the balancer, checked the dist.(...

Thanks for your responses. I am going to go with senior:tongueflap: members sugestions ( only kidding experence is knowledge) and just use the steel pan with silicone on the corners and across the block.The intake I bought is casting number 2951736 which I read should be the right intake for a...

Hi everyone I have a crazy question I never thought I would have to ask. I purchased a original intake to put on my 1970 GTX. While removing the old intake I noticed that the old intake did not have a gasket between it and the heads? :confused:It had the steel valley pan and silcone around...

Has anyone out there used the full quarters for a B-body from AMD yet? I have a 1970 GTX and have been waiting for them to finally arrive :yes:. I a hoping being from AMD they should fit pretty good. Worried about the scoop area on them. Once bought a quarter for a 1967 GTA I was restoring and...
