People have said for years now that the pumps are the same. Lots of chatter about problems with them. Place called Then and Now in MA rebuilds them with some sort or proprietary parts, or so they say anyway. I ran an edelbrock pump 15-16 years ago and it worked great. Carter carb and later...

I spent two years walking up to people to ask about that. All said that’s internet bs. So does video bob on YouTube. Owns 40 cars, like Rolls ame such, and says the haters are idiots.

I’m using bilsteins now and they aren’t super expensive compared to some stuff. Work really well. I used to use edelbrocks and tried and tried to find a set with no luck. Discoed many moons ago. Those were some awesome shocks. I don’t do anything to need an adjustable though, so doesn’t apply to...

I had a 70 challenger with a 440. Road race size bars. I forget the exact size. Ride really good until I put on kyb shocks.

I saw you had it cleaned. I’m saying do it again and be sure they rod it out this time. It’s really the only stone unturned.

Just get rid of the spring and be glad that you did. I fixed two cars people had left them in when they installed a diaphragm clutch. I didn’t know about this deal and found out when I wanted rid of the non returning pedal.

I have yet to use a Flowkooler brand, it I have used three edelbrocks that have an improved impeller that purports to have the same sort of benefits as Flowkooler. My current 440 car has factory ac and the 26 inches of course. Since this is my third car with the high flow pump, I’m seriously...

Have you looked at the plugs and done any jetting with the new cam? It will be harder to start if it’s running hot, even if not boiling over. I’d go over the tune, timing and jets.

When is it overheating? In traffic or going down the road?

Lovin the color combo on this one

I don’t remember all the post and I’m not going back to read I’d at this point get some race gas. At least ten gallons. Try to get it to run right. If you prove it wants higher grade fuel now, and didn’t before, I’m thinking you have carbon build up, something damaged that now creates a hot...

It’s obviously not the same, but I put a new NOS made in the USA ignition switch in my 69. The gauges only work when the key is in the perfect position. Otherwise they are off. I have to position the key just right. Drove me nuts until I noticed that fact. Even worse, the starter had a bad...

Depends on when it fully opens. That and the capability of the system determine what it will run at in a given ambient temp. I can tell you for a fact a 180 runs cooler that a 195 in my 440.

Gray ghost was a buddy baker racecar in 1980.

I rehabbed my system a couple years ago and fixed a poorly done 134a conversion. I’ve been waiting for the compressor seal to go since it was only thing I didn’t change. So far so good anyway. Most guys have told me how tough the RV2 is, the seal is a bit of a weak link as it was never intended...
