    Misfire and backfire

    I'd double check your firing order, could be 2 plug leads mixed up.

    Edelbrock AVS2 Linkage Question

    I think you're over thinking this. If it works and it's safe, you're good to go. I haven't bought anything specific ever to make a linkage work, other than generic nuts or bolts from the hardware store. I usually just go to my stash. Once you're into aftermarket carbs and intakes you need to do...

    This thread was over a year ago. Surely he's sorted out his pulleys by now?

    Road trips: They highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the car.

    I think the "suitability" of these cars on long trips is also dictated by the age and condition of the owner. In '97 I drove this Barracuda from San Diego to Vegas, Vegas to Sacramento, then on to San Francisco and finally down to LA. Maybe 1,300 miles? Admittedly it had 2.76 gears but the the...

    Road trips: They highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the car.

    For sure I built my car to be a "go anywhere" type of deal. To the beach To the city To the shops To the track To the car shows With a 3.23 rear it cruises ok and will still run 100 mph in the quarter mile. It's got just the right amount of power for the chassis, and gets decent gas consumption...

    Selling Tips Needed - Test Drive or Not?

    Yes, but would depend on their age, manner etc and I would be sitting in the passenger seat. I'd tell them up front the "rules", just a gentle drive with a quick blast if required. But how they look, act, what car they arrive in, did they arrive with their wife and family or have they turned up...

    440 stock intake; whats the best carb choice .....

    The calcs are because certain members claim (and appear to be) fairly knowledgeable on whatever subject is at hand, but then don't back-up what they are saying. If someone is going to throw formulas out there for us simpletons, then back it up and provide some proof. Bob has kindly provided a...

    440 stock intake; whats the best carb choice .....

    So come on, let's see the teacher show the pupils the answer. Over to you Bob, show the calculations for each carb so we know which one flows the most.

    Can Not Figure Out Why No Spark at Plugs

    I use a formula that you may be familiar with or maybe even wrote: Where F = How fast I want to go today, K = Carburetor cfm, D = Initial Timing, and R = How many cups of coffee I've had

    Can Not Figure Out Why No Spark at Plugs

    Bob, I treat my car like my dick. It might not get driven every day but I like to tinker with it so when I do take it out, it's ready to go.

    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    Do you maybe have the same "little assistance" at speed too, but you don't notice because the car is moving and the steering is naturally lighter? What happens if you increase the revs when stationary and move the wheel? Do you get normal assistance?

    Rotary Valve Engines

    This isn't a rotary engine like a Wankel though. This is a conventional piston engine but with a different head arrangement to do away with the camshaft and poppet/mushroom valves. Like the guy says at the end, great idea but may not get the investment required due to the direction the industry...

    Rotary Valve Engines

    Well, that's what the video is about. Why not watch it?

    Rotary Valve Engines

    Just came across this video when watching a member's video of the problems he's having with his car. Unrelated to Mopars but should be interesting for anyone with gasoline in their veins.

    Oh hell...

    What EXACTLY did you remove/reinstall on the engine? Looking through some of your earlier posts you say the engine was ticking and could have a bad lifter? It shouldn't just spontaneously crap itself, so the more info on what you did the better.

    How does a mecum auction work?

    Make sure you drink plenty of alcohol before you go in and preferably have an "escort" with you who you are trying to impress with your wealth and carefree attitude to things.
