FYI, these are getting very hard to find OEM, original and complete. But as others have said, there are several companies selling reproductions which look pretty good and function quite well, for around the same cost as an original used one. If you're looking for a used OEM setup, any of the...

The text "0-2425" is one of the casting numbers found on many Carter BBD (275 CFM) carburetors, such as the Carter 4895 found on the 1970 Barracuda 318-2 cars. Several models of Carter BBD used the same base assembly and bear the similar casting #s., 0-2003, 0-1676, etc. But the model number...

I had a car that pulled to one side when braking (all manual drum) and it had a sloppy worn front end. But after rebuilding the front suspension, with new ball joints, tie rod ends, bushings, etc., the problem went away before I could look harder at the brakes. And I am with others, in that the...

you say "idle screws"? There is technically only one "idle speed" screw and it's facing forward on the pump side at the throttle lever. Funny thing, though, you said "screws" and you show an image of the idle MIXTURE screws. Which ones are we talking about? The idle Mixture screws and the...

I've seen more than one master cylinder "go bad" on a vehicle while the vehicle was stored for many years. For clarity, and to emphasize what others are saying, and I think we are all in agreement: The gasket you refer to DOES NOT SEAL. Regardless of where it is placed, the master cylinder is...

I'm looking for an automatic 727 transmission oil dipstick for a 1970 big block survivor car. I got the tube, I just need the dipstick. But I'll buy the set, if needs be. I'm hoping one of you has an extra laying about their shop. Many thanks.

Drilling seems a bit drastic and impatient. But that is your call to make. I vote you simply order/locate the correct dipstick and tube. Were you to drill the block, and the location later leak, you may be fighting an issue more easily solved with a better dipstick tube. All the "small...

I believe on power brake systems, there are two gaskets. One at the firewall (the same for both power and manual) and an o-ring, between the booster and the master cylinder. IMO, the master cylinder gasket at the firewall doesn't really do any sealing, nor stop or prevent any leakage, it just...

Some headers make little or no provision for maintenance to the starter motor while the header is installed. On more than one occasion, we have had to remove or nearly remove a driver's side header to properly access the starter motor. Once it becomes clear the header has to move out of the...

If you have misfiring on cylinders #1-4 only, and ever only on #1-4, and all the while #5-8 seem to be firing fine? That is an odd problem, for sure. But there are a few things I think we can rule out. engine mechanical - I can think of nothing in the engine, valves, heads, timing, etc. that...

2.25-inch long ? is that measuring the head or just the threads? The big block engine to (lower) 727 bell housing fastener (I think there are 2) is a SEMS bolt 7/16-14 x 2.00 bolt-washer assy. One can approximate this with a visit to their local ACE hardware store. But for an actual OEM...

On many of the OEM intake manifolds, there are numbers cast into the intake manifold indicating the cylinder numbers. As others have said, you will find it as the forward-most cylinder on the driver's left side is cylinder #1. If you rotate the engine, so it is at TDC (top dead center) on...

Throttle hesitations or stumbles are among the most challenging problems to solve. And I've learned a great deal over the years solving this semi-common issue. There are some good tips and advice posted, so far. I'm betting this problem lies within the carburetor, and not the distributor...

Your linkage setup looks pretty darn good and OEM, to me. Well done. FYI, you may be missing a washer on your throttle stud. The slotted-part of the pressure linkage, pushed rearward by the throttle stud, is held in place by a washer and hairpin clip in the center groove of the throttle...

I have enjoyed starting a few motors up, after they have been stored for some years. Some of the tips I have gathered are: * change the oil, so it lubricates the engine without damage, if you get lucky and it starts. a cheap insurance. * don't use a synthetic oil, unless you add a ZDDP...

I'm interested in this master cylinder, but the "money order" thing puts me off. Let me know if you'll accept PayPal, and I'll add 5% to cover (any and all) fees.

Your throttle pressure linkage may not be set high enough. As you depress the accelerator pedal, the throttle cable rotates the throttle lever at the carburetor pushing back on the throttle pressure linkage. The TP linkage operates a (pressure) lever down on the transmission. This lever has...

Looking for a Carter 4740S for a 1970 440-4-barrel car. Any condition, although I seek something period correct and of rebuild quality.

Have you confirmed this part is needed for the steering column to function correctly? Was it working fine (without the sleeve) prior to your repair? There are some parts so specialized, so unique, they can only be had when buying the whole assembly they come with. So worst case scenario, you...
