    383 low oil pressure

    1st things 1st, drain oil, send sample in for analysis. Replace filter with quality filter and oil with 20w50. At this point you will at least know that it has good filter and oil. After that, it could be many things. Easiest w engine still in is oil pump in my opinion.

    Proper way to measure PTV and verify pushrod length…what order?

    I went from Comp hydraulic roller cam n lifter to Hughes hydraulic roller cam n lifters. All are different. Pushrods for Hughes combo are "about" 3/8" shorter than the Pushrods for the Comp combo. Lifter plunger/body on Hughes is longer. When I did all my ptv, roller to valve tip geometry and...

    727 kickdown bracket and cable adjustment

    What yr 727 and valve body in it? Early pre '70 (don't quote me on dates) didn't have "PTK" (part throttle kickdown) only full throttle. Those w/out PTK also don't go down to 2nd from drive while going slow until a full stop or manually placed in 2nd. I have same issue and am ordering "PTK"...

    To shroud or not to shroud...

    You "might" get away w not using a shroud, but why? Why does everyone try to reinvent the wheel, think they are smarter than engineers? It is not hot in NC or AL, lived in both places. It's "hot" in AZ, my summers regularly hit 125°. Quit reading "Hotrod" magazine n thinking your car should...

    Failed Smog !

    Actually, any carb, ignition, exhaust that has a "C.A.R.B." certification can be run. "California Air Research Board".

    Fuel return line plumbing.

    Is it for fuel injection or mechanical pump on carb? FI will flow a higher volume and psi and "possibly" cause a little aeration. If it's mechanical pump from carb, it'll trickle down fill tube to tank and be just fine.

    '67 Coronet 440 solid bench upholstery

    Well... just called Legendary and they do "not" make a solid front bench in any color. They do offer a Belvedere II solid bench for '67, but that is it and not the same.

    Bumper guard removal

    I'm going to be removing my front bumper, '67 Coronet, to facilitate lifting front end to drop engine/trans/K-member assembly. Is it necessary to remove bumper guards and cushions 1st? Manual only says see Fig 12, 13 n 14 for attaching points, gives no further instructions.

    To tint, or not to tint, that is the question

    I like tint personally for looks. However, I've got limmo all the way around and definitely hard, almost impossible, to see out sides n back at night. I roll down windows at night to back up, even in the winter.

    Help me pick a distributor!

    I've got Stealth heads on 383, no head clearance problems. My large aluminum valve covers needed to be dimpled a little, but I do believe he has changed the cap to resolve that issue.
