    Are '72 Torque Convertor Bolts Indexed?

    Start them all by hand before tightening any. Then mark it with paint.

    Noticed some oil on the ground and found my Dipstick holder not connected to oil pan. How do I fix this?

    Should fit snug into the block. I used to use an open end wrench at the ridge to tap the tube into the block. Seems like a 1/2" wrench fit. Put the open end over the tube at the ridge, tap the wrench as close to the tube with a small hammer

    What's the best way to clean out the freeze plug water jackets on a big block?

    Seeing how the engine is on a stand, turn it upside down while blasting the water through it. Will help get out the sediment resting on the bottom.

    How in the H did I break this?

    You could drill a couple small holes and use chrome cap screws with a little sealer. Would look better than burning the chrome off.

    Square head 1/4" NPT block water drains

    The size mentioned above was an 8 point. This is a 4 point, much less chance of rounding off.

    4 speed not able to get in any gear

    Put trans in gear with engine off. Start engine with clutch pedal depressed. Does the car seem like it wants to move a little? If so, something is dragging.

    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.

    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?
