Replaced the coil! Driving down the freeway last Friday and it coughed a few times then nothing. Coasted to the shoulder and was luckily in a good spot where I could get well clear of traffic and still be seen. Tinkered with a few things but no joy, had to get a tow home.
Tested for spark at...
No, you're correct. At 900 RPM and 10 degrees of timing it does not idle very smoothly, so I was a bit off when I aimed for 10 degrees. Once I got it fully configured and running with more timing it's much smoother and I was able to match what my timing light showed to what the distributor was...
It's been a very busy spring, so just now getting into the garage to put in some work.
Install was very easy. Out with the old, in with the new. I have 440 Source heads and the distributor is very close, but there's no interference.
Getting the app running is also simple, just enter your...
My Dad isn't mechanically inclined but my grandfather on my Mom's side was a machinist before he retired the first time, then worked as handyman/superintendent of some commercial buildings. He was fearless when it came to fixing anything. Electrical, plumbing, construction... he would take on...
Just relatively small stuff for me. I threw a belt or three before I got the pulley alignment dialed in. Burned up a power steering pump, which wouldn't have been a big deal except I lost brakes (hydroboost) at a very inconvenient time. Luckily no major damage, just a bit of curb rash.
Oh, I...
Troy, the owner/admin, is a one-man show. DC.com is ad-free, so the site is paid for and maintained out of his pocket, and I don't know how many other admins are active these days. Troy is local to me, and we met up not long after I got my Charger. He seems a good guy, but I'm sure has a...
Looks like there was a site upgrade last month that caused problems for some users. There's a note on the forum that asks people to reach out to [email protected] with any issues.
I watch about 1 football game per year and it's usually the Super Bowl. First half was kind of a snore-fest, but the 2nd half was pretty thrilling. Mahomes made some incredible plays.
"Idle Speed Ignition Advance
The more vacuum an engine pulls at idle, the more rarefied the charge is as the piston approaches TDC on the firing stroke. The lower the cylinder compression pressure at the time of ignition, the slower the charge burns. This calls for more advance, so that the...
40 degrees of total advance (base+vacuum) at idle. I'm currently running 20 base with 12 from the MSD vacuum advance. Ideally I'd like to get back to 15 deg base with 25 vacuum for 40 total.
When I adjusted advance with a vacuum gauge, I was getting 12.5" max around 37-42 degrees.
I have a 440 currently running an MSD Pro Billet distributor with MSD-AL2. It has a pretty big cam (Comp XE285-HL; 241/247 @ 0.050, 0.545 lift). Manifold vacuum tops out around 12.5" at 40 deg advance at idle.
Over the summer I was having some issues with running too rich at idle. Some great...
There's a guy that sold brackets that adapted 2012-era Mustang GT front and rear brakes over on dodgecharger.com to stock drum spindles and at least the 8.57 rear end. He wasn't asking crazy money for them at the time. They work for the normal 13.2" Mustang GT brakes, or can be used with the...
Do you have pics of the front lower control arms, specifically how you have done the lower shock mount? I went through the thread and didn't see one with a good angle. Thanks!
