    AI tells me this is 68-70 firewall insulation but I can't find a kit that matches it?

    An AI hallucination. The long piece looks like dash sound proofing, the small piece looks like kick panel sound proofing. The fender shaped piece doesn’t look familiar (to me anyway)

    Doesn’t sound right

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    Good question - see post

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    Good question! The car idled smoothly at 900 rpm. I had an electrical fire that burned up the leads going to the distributor pickup. The pickup wires didn’t short out, actual flames burnt the insulation off (car still idled & ran fine after the fire). After I fixed the wires and replaced the...

    Holley Regulator Making “Clicking” Noise???

    Hmmm….could be. That pump is 10 yrs old and it’s dead-headed. I have a 2nd regulator/pump for the nitrous which is virtually new. I will look to see which is easier once this cold weather passes A. Rebuild regulator #1 or B. switch engine fuel over to regulator (or pump & regulator) #2

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    Idle was about 900 rpm. The carburetors were not removed, so I can rule out the base plate gasket (accelerator cam changed without removing any carburetors). What is “H”?

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    That makes a ton of sense. I will take a look while I'm putting the old rotor/cap back on.

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    Makes sense, but I never removed any of the carburetors, just the cam & guts of the distributor all on the motor.

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    Good idea, but I can see it's not touching.

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    That's a good idea. I just replaced what was burned up & added the cap/rotor because the rotor was slightly discolored on one edge.

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    Good point. I did burn up the vacuum hose going to the the front carb. I replaced the hose, but maybe I missed a hole on another section.

    Holley Regulator Making “Clicking” Noise???

    Anything in particular I should be looking for? I've never taken one apart. I've been running this one for 10 yrs.

    Suddenly Won’t Idle below 1800 rpm???

    440 6bbl w/steady fuel pressure, electronic Direct Connection distributor. Some of this might be unrelated. Car was running well with a good amount of initial timing. New heads & valves adjusted less than 1000 miles ago. Engine would “cough” out of the carbs “occasionally” during startup. Power...

    Holley Regulator Making “Clicking” Noise???

    I’m running a dead-headed Holley blue fuel pump & my Holley fuel pressure regulator recently started “clicking”. It’s never done this before. What’s up? Fuel pressure is set at 5-1/2 psi & fuel pressure is steady (mechanical guage) (I’ve got a 4 sec video, but can’t figure out how to upload it)

    Imitial ride height setting on b body big block

    For me, I prefer lower than stock front & rear for better handling. Watch out for front tire clearance. Set it where you like. However, as I’m learning, Mopar stock suspension doesn’t allow for a lot of caster (desirable). There are inexpensive upper control arm caster adjustment cams that can...
