    1969 superbee 383 rough idle and low vacuum

    A good way to find a vacuum leak is to use a smoke machine. Many U-Tube videos on how to make one.

    is it a problem this front transmission cover is missing??

    I left mine off for better cooling.........

    What the heck is this gasket from?!

    For an EGR valve?

    Reverse light even when in drive

    Years ago I swapped in a 4 speed to my 66 Sport Fury. Just hooked up a toggle switch for the b/u lights.

    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    Is there a heat riser flap in the exhaust? Could be stuck closed, heating up the intake. Do you have the insulator pad between the intake and the valley pan?

    Front cylinders not firing when cold

    Could have a vacuum leak around the intake gasket. When warm, it expands enough to seal

    Loud Screeching noise at startup!

    After it screeches for a minute, shut off engine and touch each pulley. The pulley that is super hot is the one that is slipping.

    Engine will not idle down

    A smoke machine is a good way to find leaks

    Belt Squeal High RPM

    After a quick session of making the belt squeal, quickly pull over, shut off the engine and open the hood. Gingerly touch each pulley, the pulley that is extremely hot will be the one that is slipping.

    Hey! Is this a suregrip tag?!

    Jack up the rear of the vehicle and turn one wheel forward. If the other wheel also turns forward, its probably a sure grip.

    Motor shutters at Idel.

    I would start with a compression check.

    8 and 3/4 breather valve

    If the breather gets plugged, it can create pressure which can force oil out the axle seals. I've seen some that get plugged due to oil vapor and dust collecting in them. It can easily be cleaned if necessary.

    Pulling my A833

    And drain the lube before you pull it

    Replacing clutch

    You could drain the trans before starting, then you dont need to worry about leakage. Probably needs new fluid by now, anyway.

    Pinging 505 help

    Sometimes, if some spark plug wires are too close together, they can crossfire and create pinging.
