Hi guys,
My 73 Road Runner back fired so I went to restart her to suck the flame back into the engine where it belongs-and the new electric fuel pump kept pumping fuel and in less than a minute my new $7k
Paint job was done!
After cleaning up the fire damage I replaced the head gaskets. Before...
Hey Everybody,
I blew a head gasket on my bird and need accurate torque spec's and sequences. Any recommendations on stock head bolts lube or lock tight or?

Yeah, I'm a bit unsure still with the oil issue. Analyzing the oil is brilliant Unfortunately don't have the luxury of time on my side, got a race coming up I can't afford to lose or worst, forfeit as a NO SHOW.
If only time and money wasn't factors - ok, sorry, dreaming again.
I will continue...
Hi,
Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment. I don't believe I know your Air Force buddy Tim. Should I run into him I'll tell him hello for you.
...and your right, this is far from OK.
Let me see if I can explain this better. I had a Stage 2 transmission when I drove my car to the tranny shop. The issue with that tranny it had no reverse and only 2/3rds in 1st gear because the band was adjusted all the way out and therefore needed to be replaced. I thought I would keep that...

While I was repositioning the throttle mount and cable to align with the carb in a straight line I recalled the machine shop I took my 340 X Heads to and this guy was a jerk. He didn't complete the job meaning he did NOT check, clean or even run a tread cleaner to the mounting holes and then...
OK- I'm back after R and R the carb. It didn't seem like it was hanging up at the base. It is too early to fire her up -I have neighbors and it's only 7:35 am here on the west coast.
I'll start her up at 8:30 - 9:00 My R/R is really loud when the throttle sticks up in the high RPM range.
SIR,
I did just that and fired right up-Sorry it took this winding trail for me to comprehend and thank you for hanging in there with me.
Greatly Appreciate your Knowledge and HELP-
Talk you soon. Be Safe
BEST, JACKSON
TY so much-She finally started-having a bit of a fluctuating idling issue but I haven't tried your latest recommendation either. Tomorrow I will start again and follow through.
I was able to take her for about a mile run and with all my Hi Pro upgrades she is unbelievably fast-I live in the...
