I don't think you should be too worried. Like most of the others on here, I am 95% sure you are hearing an exhaust leak. With over 1100 miles, if it was something internal to the engine, you would know by now. Yes, an exhaust leak can get louder as the engine heats up, the metal parts expand...
Like 69 GTX pointed out, check for cracked rubber fuel lines where the fittings from the sending unit attach to the car's hard lines. I had a mysterious problem with intermittently losing fuel flow on an old Dodge truck I had twenty years ago and that's what it turned out to be.
ALSO, check...
Yes, they are the same size base. BUT the 1157 may not work in the 1178 socket because the 1178 has pins which are directly across from each other, while the 1157's pins are indexed (offset).
Great thread! This is one of my next modifications, thanks 747 for posting your experiences! Big advantage is the easily-sourced replacement parts and the fact that it's a TRUE serpentine setup with automatic tensioner. I have always felt that the A/C compressor detracts from the beauty of a...
Homstead makes a great point about the importance of deck height. This is pretty much what I meant by good quality short block. Factory compression is way low in the smog-era 400 engines and paying close attention to deck height and cylinder head cc's is the route to good compression. I have...
400hp is totally achievable. You can do it with only a few modifications to your current plan. Strokers are good, but not necessary to reach your power goals. My suggestions:
Forget electric water pump. These are really not intended for the street. You can also save some money by staying...
Wow, epic build, Z!
I can't wait to follow the progress! I have a 4L60E also and I love it. I don't know anything about the Wilcap plate, but it appears to be similar to what I used. I wanted to use the Quicktime Bellhousing, but I ended up using an adapter plate and custom torque converter...
My vote is for Firm Feel. I got my entire steering and suspension setup from them (excepting the upper and lower control arms) and am completely happy with the products. I spoke to Dick on the phone several times regarding my steering gear box and the core return and the customer service was...
Brown wire to ballast should be hot while cranking, as it bypasses ballast resistor for starting. When you release the key, blue wire (to ballast) is live and runs power through ballast resistor while car is running. I suspect the no-start condition lies in the brown wire not sending power to...
I agree with furryfrog. I installed the Aeromotive Phantom into a BRAND NEW tank for my '72 Charger in late 2013, just after the Phantom setup was released. It works great.
A dedicated aluminum tank would have made for a bit cleaner solution, but as stated before, they don't mass-produce...
Hawk,
I was in error with the name of the Aeromotive product, it is the "Phantom", p/n 18688, not the "Stealth". The pump and baffle assembly have to be oriented in a vertical fashion and the instructions are very specific about where and how the pump assembly can be mouonted. I included a...
I've been working on this exact conversion. To answer your specific questions, look at Aeromotive's "Stealth" in-tank fuel pump system. In-tank is always a better and more durable setup than an external pump (quieter, runs cooler). Your 3/8 supply line will be fine, as will the 5/16 return...
