I have confirmed that the transmission is being shifted correctly, including park. The problem, is for sure in the column. I’ve disconnected the linkage and can move the gear shift lever beyond the P and still no detent/gate is felt. After seeing a few pictures of the shift gate I’m thinking...

I have a couple specific question that I’m hoping someone can help me with that has first hand experience. 1966 Coronet, manual steering, column shift. The car shifts through and actuates all the gear correctly, however the park position has no lock or detent position. What I mean is this: On...

I need some advice on what to put in the secondaries. This is a cruise car I did for my Dad, just a 1 day a week driver. So far the car is near perfect with the exception of being pig-rich once you get into the secondaries. Here are the details: 383, +.040, TRW flattops, .038 quench. 915 1.74...

Just got done putting a 343hp intake on my 66.

It never crossed my mind that someone could have plumbed it backwards... I'll look tonight. Although the different size line nuts (I would think) would protect from that happening. Yes, the car drives and stops "ok"... you just have to push really hard. The reason I noticed the lack of rear...

Hoping someone might be able to offer some ideas. My problem appears to be opposite of what usually happens. The car is a 66 with a brake system that I did not install. The problem I am having is the rear bias is too light. On a jack in drive I can barely stop the rear wheels from just the...

I was thinking this is what I "should" do. What's absolute minimum with hydraulic? .075" at any point?

Unfortunately I have way too much static compression for a whiplash. I have .038 quench with closed chamber iron heads.

No, totally flat like stock 4brl pistons

https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/driveshaft-help.131311/ NOT MY THREAD^ but can be seen here. It's the front yoke that has that thick ring that looks like a harmonic balancer. The FSM calls for an inertia ring in my car it was causing some sort of harmonics instead of...

Car: 1966 Sedan, 383 auto. 2500 Hughes converter, 3.55/grip. 383- .040, forged flat-tops (.018 in hole) .020 steel gaskets. 915 big valve heads, springs good to .550, stock rockers. DP4B, AVS2. HP manifolds, 2.5" TTI. Light springs and limit-plate in Dist. Cam is Comp 270H- 224* .050, .470"...

Well, I can finally post a wrap-up after 1.5 years and almost $4000 chasing the issue. It turned out to be the inertia ring on the driveshaft. The original driveshaft was spun balanced with new joints 2 different times at 2 different shops. Both said the shaft was "perfect". After 3 rings...

Thanks for your continued replies. I’m ok then, the converter easily slides in and then back out to the flex plate after it was unbolted from the flex plate. One last question though as I try to cover all bases... The stock 383 forged crank is 1965 and would have been used with a 19 spline...

Dowels are in and all 6 bolts were tight. No leak or even dampness on the front pump below the seal. I do not want to go digging into it being I am getting a warranty exchange. Does this hub ride a bushing not a bearing correct? If I look past the seal I see what looks like a bushing that is...

Doug, what do you make of this and is this the root of this noise I’ve been chasing for 1.5 years? This groove has worn .010 (measure with a mic) with only 1000 miles at most since the car was put together. The converter was from Pat Blias, (or at least whomever is selling off his remaining...

After explaining to the Transmission guy what I’ve tried, (short review): -2 sets of axle bearings. -3 different center sections with 3 different gear ratios, both clutch and cone type and 3 different sets of new bearings (1 koyo, 2 Timken). 2 different driveshafts, both balanced and new...

What do you (and everyone else) think about the turbo action s-800 11”? They rate it 2800-3000. I would think that should give me an ‘honest’ 2500...?

I know the cam is ancient tech but the motor was build old-school. The forged flat tops are only .018 in the hole and a .020 steel shim gasket with the 915’s. Intake valve clearance was a concern so I went with an old design that ramped slow.

No, the cam is the Magnum 270h, 1800-5800. 224@.050, 52* overlap.

Just street/cruise car. No racing at all. I just want the most I can get out this combo pulling out from a stop sign. I really liked the 3.91’s that I had in the car but it took effort to drive above 50mph... to keep up with traffic. The 3.55’s are a much better driving gear... I was just...
