Took the 63 Polara to a show 70 miles away. Checked oil before we left as I always do and it was fine. Car ran fine on the way there. On the way home my wife said she thought she smelled oil burning at a traffic light. I figured it was another car in front of me. Noticed slight vibration...

Now that I actually have the max wedge tribute so I can drive it (thanks to help from people in this forum) I had serious vibration starting at around 2000 rpms and above that felt like the door panels were going to fall off LOL. Took it to a local shop and they had the driveshaft balanced. Got...

Not sure if it can be purchasd separately or even what it would be called, but in the attached photo I need the fitting for the top of the pump that the black and silver line connects to. Taking the manifolds on and off a couple times banged up the end that the flared fitting seals to and it...

Need to upgrade the dim as hell factory headlights on my 63 Polara so I can safely go to some evening cruise ins. Any recommendations that won't require modification and will run off stock alternator? Also, when idling my lights (all of them) pulse brighter and dimmer and the ammeter also...

Does anyone make an electric cutout that will fir a TTI 3 inch max wedge exhaust system? The blockoff plate is 4 bolts and all the cutouts I see are 3 bolts? Thanks Forrest

I have been having problems with my max wedge exhaust smoking after it heats up. Both tailpipes. Today after a test drive it started smoking and after I put it in the garage my wife came in carrying what you see in this photo. She found it outside the garage in the driveway. It is soaked with...

I am tired of trying to get my original Carter 3705 carbs to work correctly and will send them out to be restored. Mancini sells a crossram kit with the intake and edelbrock carbs, but I don't need the intake. If I wanted to run Edelbrocks or some other carbs for now, which ones would you...

Now that I finally got my wedge tribute running, I needed to clean things up so I washed the engine compartment (not pressure just garden hose). Used leaf blower to blow all excess water away. After that I started it and let it run until it got hot to dry everything out. When I went to start...

Is the correct torque for max wedge intake manifold bolts 25 ft lbs? This is with iron heads. Thanks

As a last resort to try to free stuck oil rings before pulling my motor, I tested filling each cylinder (with heads off) with various recommended chemicals and home brews just to see if any seemed to lift out deposits when pistons were rocked back and forth. Had best results with MMO then...

I recently bought a few cans of OER Classic Blend engine paint because the color was the best match for my 63 wedge intake. Carefully prepped the intake, followed the instructions, and it looked great and matched the block paint and valve covers very well. However, after installation of the...

Trying to blast carbon from my heads using 24 grit fine walnut nedia from harbor freight. My eastwood sandbaster will not allow the walnut media to come through the gun, plugs up instantly. Media is dry so the only thing I can think of is nozzle size is too small? Works fine for playground sand...

These are max wedge mopar reproduction heads P5007494. Pulled due to oil getting into combustion chambers from somewhere. Head gasket was fine and rings are good (all comp tests passed at least) so I am looking at the seals. Can anyone tell me if these look like correct seals? The umbrella one...

Does anybody know the correct valve stem seals to use on mopar performance 2406518-M reproduction max wedge heads? Original build lists Mahle B45403 and/or 45343 but Mahle stuff does not seem to be around any more? Rock Auto lists FelPro SS12419 for a 426 but they look different. Thanks!

On my max wedge manifold, they added a vacuum tube to the PCV valve connector as shown in the photo attached. They had it blocked and were not using it (stuffed a bunch of scotch tape into the rubber line). I am trying to use this for manifold vaccum on my vac adv distributor from Summit. It...

Have issues with dual carter 3705s on wedge intake running pig rich. Cam is 509. Following everyones tips here I bumped up initial timing to get vacuum up, changed metering springs, etc etc. Still pig rich at idle and even part throttle. So today I decided to pull tops and check float levels...

Rebuilt my two Carter 3705s on max wedge intake using kits #4051A from quadrajet parts. Noticed the base gaskets were different in the kit from what were on them when taken off the manifolds. It looked like there were vacuum passages on base plate where on old gaskets they were not covered but...

I bought a Holley 12-840 fuel pressure regulator to use for testing excess fuel pressure. It has 3/8 NPT on all three ports. My max wedge has metal fuel lines coming from the mechanical pump and from the brass tee that are all 1/4 npt male flared fittings. Don't laugh as I'm no fuel line...

I have a max wedge tribute car with factory wedge crossram and two Carter 3705s. Carbs have been rebuilt and I am still way rich at idle (but this could be the 509 cam's low vacuum at idle). Mechanical fuel pump (factory style replacement) is putting out 6.5 lbs of pressure. Could that be too...

I just bought this 63 Polara wedge tribute car and there is an extra pedal above the headlight switch and honestly I don't know what it does and PO did not document it. Can anyone help?
