    400 budget build

    If a re-ring will seal it up, run the low compression and a high stall converter. Sounds like it's just until the other engine is done.

    What's it Worth WIW Coronet R/T convertible

    No under car or suspension photos, and no photos with the top up? Sort of an odd situation where it looks like a pretty nice almost survivor, but nice paint job and some other items taking away the survivor vibe. Fully restored I could see it getting $100,000 by those who want the new/restored...

    Which paint to use for Coronet gauge needles?

    Testors Fluorescent paint, but I blended some yellow and I think a touch of green with the orange to get a shade closer to stock looking.

    Dash Speaker replacement

    The mounting plate was sold by a member here. The Infinity Kappa magnets are pretty big and hit the heater cable originally before I installed the vintage air system.

    Why does my taillight fuse blow when I turn the lights on?

    Short circuit. as mentioned check that the bulbs are correct for the sockets. I would remove all the bulbs and inspect sockets and wiring, the see if fuse blows with bulbs removed. If it still blows, remove the drivers side kick panel and disconnect the rear wiring harness from the connector...

    Valve Cover Gaskets and Sealant??

    I have the blue, I think moroso brand gaskets. Solid cam, so wanted something re-useable.

    Would appreciate websites to find a '69 Bee or Coronet

    That looks really nice with alot of upgrades. just make sure to inspect it in person before buying it.

    Rebuilding my 727 - what optional parts usually need replacing?

    need to inspect the parts, but if it is in decent condition where it is more of a re-fresh than a rebuild, then most rebuild kits will supply all the gaskets, seals, and sealing rings. You need to make sure it is correct for your year transmission. Many kits will have seals and rings for...

    Ate a cam, time to switch to roller, I guess, but which one?

    Max lift don't matter in piston to valve clearance. Max lift is at the intake centerline, usually around 110 degrees crank rotation, so the piston is way down the bore at max lift. The closest points are around overlap when the piston in nearing TDC the exhaust is closing, and when the intake...

    Ate a cam, time to switch to roller, I guess, but which one?

    Correct. That just give a known starting value. Piston position down the bore can then be calculated for each degree of crank rotation. Cam grinder should be able to calculate lift around TDC overlap (with an installed ICL position) to have a good idea of what P-V will be. You can do these...

    Tire spin

    Thanks. I have seen the RMS suspension, but never used one. Was curious if front end was coming up to transfer weigh? I bought the pricy ($400/each) Viking triple adjustable shocks for the Charger right before Bandimere closed and haven't had a chance to try them / adjust them at the track. I...

    Ate a cam, time to switch to roller, I guess, but which one?

    Depending on which "stock" pistons are in the engine, the larger cam might have piston to valve clearance issues. My 383 was rebuilt with the forged flat tops, but also the engine deck was milled so the pistons were just slightly below the block deck, and my heads were also milled 0.040" for...

    727 won't go into park. B/U, neutral switch?

    I think the 3-prong switch needs the valve body rooster comb shift lever that has the plastic guide part where the switch is. The earlier single connection NSS switch, I don't think has the plastic guide. If not the switch, the plastic guide could also be broken? A-727 Detent Lever Plastic...

    What front suspension setup and shocks?

    Battery at 15V...... Is My understanding of the VR correct?

    15 Volts is too much for the battery as stated earlier. Sounds like regulator is trying to regulate to 14.4 volts as is "senses" the ignition voltage. You have a voltage drop somewhere that should be fixed. The adjustable regulator can be used to correct the overcharging, but that is more of a...

    727 tranny accumulator

    I removed the restrictor plug. My transmission shifts fine without it, but it uses the steel front drum sealing rings, not the teflon sealing rings, so it might have more leakage? That bottom package with the small snap ring looks like it might be for the rear servo where shift kits place a...

    Anyone have the old DC 440 "recipes"?

    I didn't know better when I was young and put the purple shaft 284/0.484" cam in my near stock 318. It had a streemaster 4-bbl, 600 holley and headers. The rest of the '67 Coronet was stock. It was a dog out of the hole (I didn't know the tuning tricks back then either), but around 3,000 RPM...

    How to force pistons out of 383

    Sounds good, did it just sit with water in the cylinders? might try heating and cooling with wax?

    No start - very weak spark

    Check the basics. Unplug the ECU, then with ignition on, use a jumper to touch / tap the coil negative (-) to ground. You should get a good spark from the coil. Not sure where you are checking spark from, but bad ignition wires can be a problem if checking at end if wires. Also, Make sure...
