    Sunday afternoon and no spark.... 440 6 bbl

    I think this may all stem from a possible problem at the bulkhead or fusible link as I just lost power to the oil pressure idiot light... With key on it no longer illuminates.

    Need Guru: Gauges and Light Switch Issues

    I have a 68 Charger and read every ralley gauge cluster thread here and across the web- and I still cannot solve this issue. My dead gauges came back functioning after I replaced the IVR with the RTE solid state limiter but something along thr way happened and now when I turn my lights on, my...

    906 heads on a 413

    Offy 360 intake gives up a BUNCH of torque, especially as compared to the factory intake and even more so than any modern dual plane intakes - the Edelbrock RPM is the gold standard for dual plane intakes but it is taller than the offy. 750 will definitely help it breath too. Is the...

    383 stalls after cold start, whines under acceleration, hard to start after

    No coolant associated with the intake. Most likely water neck,water pump,header bolts or studs in head. Oil can travel up threads of intake mounting bolts. Steel valve covers very prone to leak oil if not strait or sealed properly. PCV is very important to keep crankcase pressure from pushing...

    Re-Rebuilding the 440-493 in a 1970 Charger

    Doug, This is a great explanation. Simplified and easy to understand. Thanks for this.

    Final stages of installing A/C system

    Isn't the ICE32 a propane derived refrigerant?.....or a combination of several flammable gases? These gases are flammable where as the original R12 and R134A are not. What are the operating pressures and expected evaporator temperature, what is the condenser pressure, what oil is used, is...

    Help - Electrical Gremlins

    The two things I changed was adding a mechanical oil pressure gage and wiring up the light in it. It was wired to a switched hot with no switch on and there was no sign of heat or damage. I also added an oil pressure sending unit for the idiot light and again no sign of line damage. These were...

    Trouble with Timing Chain install 383

    IT'S ALIVE! 2.0 Yesterday was the culmination of time, hard work (for me), and money. I primed the oil pump holding 55 psi, poured some Sunoco 93 down the carb, cranked only two/three times so fuel got to the carb and - boom - it fired right up! 20 Min 2000 RPM - the temp never went above 180...

    Best guess as to what’s going on ?

    67 charger. 383 4brl, has been bored for a bigger cam (so someone has been inside and altered things), larger oil pan, 3spd auto This started happening about a month ago, before that no issues at all. Oil level reads good. Have the factory and aftermarket oil gauge for readings. While moving...

    Mopar 383 roller cam selection

    DP's can give nice fuel mileage on the highway/autobahn. In town however, they do not pull good mpg numbers. Got to have a steady foot though no matter and they ain't too bad in town if you anticipate traffic stops etc. And wouldn't a high volume high pressure oil pump help in this situation...

    383 low oil pressure

    I don't think it has a bad bearing or a missing oil galley plug. I think the oil pump you put on would work perfect if it was bolted to a new engine. But it's bolted to an engine that I'm sure has massive oil demands. I think the engine new had .0015"-.002" main and rod clearances. My guess is...

    1970 318, Rockers installed on wrong side

    I'm leaning toward replace. Just finished my taxes. No refunds coming, but I broke even after my 2024 payments. Thought I was still going to owe big. My 318 *low vacuum *mediocre braking *terrible gas mileage *massive pressure under left side valve cover and normal under right side. Right side...

    did car manufacturers break in flat tappet cams?

    Not sure about the OEMs do now... I think (don't know the name) possibly something many had/have run-in or break-in machines too, OEMs have too mounting the engine to it, in a big tub like deal (one I saw) & a shaft spinning it 'under oil pressure' checking oil flows/pressures going where it's...

    Oil pressure gauge goes to zero

    Restore some years ago. Unfortunately I don’t know. No. All other gauges function properly. The needle shows reasonable readings but only for a short time. If I restart the car after it goes to zero, the gauge operates again then goes to zero again? I believe no. I’ll try this when running...

    Proper Oil & filter for 426 SW

    Nice looking. You need to post some more pictures. You will get a hundred answers but I like WIX filters and I select a multi-grade, non-synthetic oil that is thick enough to give me 20 psi oil pressure at hot idle in hot weather. For me that may be Driven 10W-30, Driven 20W-50 or Rotella...

    Bummer! No oil Pressure

    Lost prime once. Drained the oil took filter off. Then spent 2 hours doing something (parts store run) came back added oil to filter and engine. Started engine no oil pressure.

    Figuring oil capacity on a 62-5 stock B pan

    ...great, but at high rpm the oil pressure tanked. I pulled it, cut the windage tray part out, used the pan gasket part, no leaks and no oil pressure issues. It's a very good gasket design. Whether it was in the same position as an actual separate windage tray, or similar design, not sure, but...

    Bummer! No oil Pressure

    Same here. 45 years of doing my own oil changes. The problem I'm having is engine lost oil pressure, changed pump (440) and still no pressure. Reaching out for other ideas what causes pressure loss. I welcome ideas on making install is correct.

    383 low oil pressure

    So, when I bought the car, I was told the engine was rebuilt. Don't know if its true or not as the guy lied to me on a bunch of things. Maybe his version of rebuilt was paint it and make it look new. I changed the pump and pickup tube as I figured it was an easy and fairly cheap way to see if he...
