I hate to be that guy, but I am that guy. People come to me after they do it wrong. You have no compression. Summit? Don't go to a counter person for performance advice. From their info...screenshot They say it works best with 9.0 compression and higher. You got 8.2 on a good day. 340 and...

Darn, you beat me to it. I wanted the Chevelle. :fool: Tom

The number on the plate is how much mechanical advance you will get with the plate installed. That’s it. So with your 14 initial….set the plate to 18….you will get 32 total. Check with the timing light though to ensure that’s what you end up with. Both of my cars the fbo plate has been bang on.

Do they have a help line? I think when you install it, you can eyeball check if it looks correct? Checking with a timing light will tell the truth.

When I put the plate in my distributor, I used the number 14 slots, I set my timing to 20 degrees initial and that allowed it to run to 35 degrees total timing. I wasn't going to complain about a 1 degree error.

Here in Colorado it is pretty easy to find, but usually the actual Ethenol content is around 70%, but it worked in my 12.4:1 compression engine. I did screw up and had a fuel filter that was not compatible which filled the carb with parts of the filter. Make sure ALL your fuel system will work...

Does anyone run E-85 in their street mopar? 1970 Challenger with high compression B block. Currently running mix of Av Gas and supreme. But if I am taking a road trip, I can't pack enough Av Gas for a long ride like Drag Week. How hard is it to find E-85 on the road? thanks

And the 484

There are different marks on two I have here. Both in numbers and paint dobs. The 458 also has red patch on it. One is a 450/458 and the other is a 484.

P.m.sent

I just picked up an FBO timing plate for my 69 Coronet. I’m running a reman points distributor with a 15L advance plate and a Pertronix Ignitor. Not that it matters, but it’s going on a 451 stroker. My question is, the FBO instructions state the number of degrees on the plate indicates CRANK...

Shoes might be fitted the wrong way around - there is a leading edge on brake shoes.

Looking for a driver side door latch for 69 charger, the star wheel on mine is little worn and looking for another to swap it out

Drums maybe hitting the rivets on your brake shoes.

And you're the reason I made the decision to pull the trigger and buy them for my coronet.

One of my favorite wheels also after Cragar s/s wheels.

Took a drive in my 65 Belvedere today and backed out of a parking spot that was on a hill. Brakes made a terrible grinding noise that I have never had before. Sounded like metal on metal. Drove home and brakes were fine going forward but grind in reverse when I checked it when I got home. I...

Thank you. That could be something. I didn't have any other theory so that's one.

While I have been working on the car, progress has been slow. Wife and I are out on vacation in the Pacific Northwest and as chance had it we went right thru Springfield, OR. Had to stop by Graveyard Carz. It was Saturday so they were closed so no tip to help me out. But neat to see the place.
