Yes, I did that when I removed some material from the heads of the bolts. I'm thinking I may have just not gotten enough thread locking compound on the bolts when I first installed them. Time will tell I guess.

I made sure the the converter snout fit in the crank before I assembled the engine so shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the input. So, I put the car up on blocks (no hoist) , hooked up my remote start switch and my buddy and I crawled underneath, pulled the dust shield and did a visual inspection. Everything looked perfect. I crawled out and fired it up and then crawled back underneath to what I...

Thanks All. After doing some research on line I found that I had indeed flipped the oil lines. The problem was that I followed the directions included with the kit that were verbal only (no dwgs or pictures) and it didn't work... or I interpreted them incorrectly which at my age is a distinct...

I'm running a remote oil filter set up on my 496 stroker and I have discovered that the filter does not get hot or really even very warm to the touch after cruising around the neighborhood for thirty minutes or so. I know that oil is going through it and it is plumed correctly so wondering why...

Hello All, Really need some help here folks. I built a 383 based 496" stroker for my '69 Coronet which is bolted up to a '75 727 filled with John Cope and A&A parts. The converter is a Hughes 3,000 stall unit. The flex plate is a stock Mopar part that came with the car and at the time of...

The lack of vacuum advance. Take a few minutes and watch this video as this guy has it figured out. You will be glad you did. Give Rick a call at Firecore and put some benjamins back in your pocket.

You might want to re-think the distributor and get one with adjustable vacuum advance. Your idle, throttle response and mileage will all benefit greatly.

I have a 496" stroker in my '69 Coronet using the 383 block and a 440 Source kit with lightened crank and their CNC ported heads. It's bolted up to a built 727 with a 3,000 stall converter and 3.54 gear. Believe me, it's all this old man can handle on the street.

I know this is probably a long shot but I have to try. Pictured is the converter I took out of my 69 Coronet 500 which has a 1975 727 in it. At the time I got the car it had a 383 in it with a wiped out cam so I never drove it any further than from the transport trailer to my garage which is...

Can someone recommend a sealing washer for a 1/2-20 oil pan plug in a steel pan that won't leak. I've tried plastic, nylon and copper and they all drip. The sealing surface on the pan is fine and so is the plug. I've been looking at the steel/rubber ones but would like some input before I...

Thank you Sir. You nailed it.

It's aluminum.

Hoping someone can help me identify who made this intake for this 67-75 era 318. It has no markings anywhere and I have not been able to find another like on the internet. Belongs to a friend who just bought a bunch of stuff from a guy who inherited some property that is covered with all kinds...

Update. Received the 440 Source mounts in the mail last night (thanks again to steve340) and I have to say they are AWESOME! They fit perfectly on the K-frame with no excessive front to back slop, the bolt hole and welded nut line up perfectly with the hole in the K-frame and the unit sits...

I am about to install a fresh 496'' stroker I just put together a few months ago using a 440 Source kit. I could not be happier with the components of the kit. Everything measured dead on and the finish on the crank journals was immaculate. I am also using their CNC ported heads which I took...

Thank you Steve340! This is exactly what I was hoping I could find. I knew that they made the poly mounts but didn't know they were making these now. Just ordered a set. Thanks again i really appreciate it. Mike

Yes. One with the tube for the driver side and one without. I called Schumacher before lunch and had a very informative conversation with him. The bottom line is that nobody is making these isolators in the US. They are all made overseas and he is as upset about it as the rest of us. He is...

Thanks. Agree 100%.

Thanks Doorkicker. Yes, the hole in the K member and the pin in the isolater line up just fine. The first thing I saw on the box these things came in was "Made in China" but of coarse I had no way of knowing that when I bought them. I have come across a couple of pictures while searching for...
