I think this may all stem from a possible problem at the bulkhead or fusible link as I just lost power to the oilpressure idiot light... With key on it no longer illuminates.
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...
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...
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...
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...
The two things I changed was adding a mechanical oilpressure 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 oilpressure sending unit for the idiot light and again no sign of line damage. These were...
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...
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...
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 pressureoil pump help in this situation...
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...
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

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 oilpressure'
checking oil flows/pressures going where it's...
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...
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 oilpressure at hot idle in hot weather. For me that may be Driven 10W-30, Driven 20W-50 or Rotella...
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 nooilpressure.
...great, but at high rpm the oilpressure tanked.
I pulled it, cut the windage tray part out, used the pan gasket part, no leaks and nooilpressure 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...
Same here. 45 years of doing my own oil changes. The problem I'm having is engine lost oilpressure, changed pump (440) and still nopressure. Reaching out for other ideas what causes pressure loss. I welcome ideas on making install is correct.
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...
