I am also running Edelbrock rpm heads. I had to modify the lower bracket to make the original one fit. Wasn't hard at all but left me with maybe 1/8" clearance.
Well versed on what they do and don't do. As mentioned in my post I converted for the ease of adjusting my mechanical advance because I have made many modifications to the engine.
Been having no luck with aftermarket distributors for my la 360 I built for my 74. I started out with the Summit ready to run billet distributor an exact replica of the MSD but at a cheaper price. Had three bite the dust in less than a 100 miles. I have used a few of these on some of my other...
My 74 being a low mileage car has the original alternator on it. I installed some Edelbrock heads on it and was able to modify the brackets so it would fit. It works fine but wanted to upgrade to a one wire. The problem I am running into is the new alternators housings are deeper in depth by...
I have a real nice running stock 73 340 and want to upgrade the ignition system. I bought a Summit ready to run one and had 2 fail on me with less than a 100 miles on them. I have in a my Ford 390 street cruiser for over two years with no issues and I like the performance and ease of tuning...
I went from a 8 1/4 to a 8 3/4. I installed all new bearings and seals. I didn't use green bearing because some people had issues with them. I got my truetrac from quick performance and the forgot to include the spacer that goes between the axle ends so I couldn't adjust the axle end play. I...
I just installed a Quick Performance Truetrac in my 74. I see Doctor Diff no longer carries them for the 8 3/4 due to reliability issues. I have installed these in a few Fords and never had an issue. Maybe I should have went with the suregrip. Has anybody had issues with them.
Installing new bearings and seals on my 8 3/4 rear end. I ordered a complete kit and the problem I am have is the outer axle seal provided is to big for the adjuster nut. It fit fine in the other one. The one I removed from the adjuster was just a rubber seal with no metal housing. and I can't...
Thinking of adding this 73 rallye hood to my 74. I know it's not correct for my 74 and might catch some flack for it but I am running a Ed rpm air gap on a 360 and it fits barely without a carb spacer. I tried a 1/2" and it rubs the insulation. A one inch would be ideal to balance out the flow...
I have a complete 8 3/4" rearend out of a 73 with sway bar. The drive shaft is the same size but uses the bigger u-joints. Leaf spring perch measure the same as the 8 1/4" so it should slid right in. They both use the leaf spring rubber isolators.
It has a mild purple cam, air gap intake, harland sharp roller rockers, Edelbrock RPM heads, msd ready to run distributor, TTI long tube headers with a Edelbrock 650. If I knew I was going this route I would have changed out the pistons for some 9:1 and maybe a different torque converter.
Finished up My 360 rebuild in the 74. Now I just need to get rid the the 8 1/4 2.75 gear. I have a 8 3/4 out of a 73 charger I plan to install with a 3.23 truetrac from Quick Performance. I thought about the 3.55 but want to keep it under 3000 rpm at highway speeds.
