    Oil pressure gauge goes to zero

    I agree with Dadsbee, get a mechanical gauge first to make sure you don't have an engine problem, with your oiling system.Since once your engine is warm and reads low, doesn't sound good from what u have said. Hopefully it's your sending unit.

    I'm almost at wits end with this car.

    Surely you have to laugh at this, a good one!

    B Bodies & 340’s

    I don't drag race this car, just a fun car to drive, and I prefer racing ( only a couple of 100 feet) non mopars just to remind people how they performed back in the day. If I put this combination into an A body, it would have alot more top end.

    B Bodies & 340’s

    Need Help Getting a firm pedal

    Have you tested your new master cylinder to rule it out, even though it's new, could be bad. Try blocking off both lines coming from it and your pedal should be hard as a rock. If not, it's a bad one, this has happened to me. If it's good u have air in the system if everything else looks good.

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    The only problem is if you have a short in the system, your car will light up like a Roman candle. There's a reason why if you go to a higher amp alternator, you should increase the cable size to match that. Take it from an electrician.

    Transmission 727

    I agree, installing the accumulator spring will soften your shifts, a fairly easy job. I haven't checked, but do a search on YouTube, much easier to watch a video than reading!

    Alternator stops charging

    You should watch that video again, he did refer to using a fuseable link and what gauge size, inaddition he also said you can use alternative and one more thing he said he's not the expert. Like I said if you are worried about misinformation, post a video on YouTube and teach the young people...

    Alternator stops charging

    Don't go to a bigger alternator, unless you up grade the wire coming off it, a good chance of creating a roman candle ! Better yet Dead Dodge Garage just put out a video on this subject on YouTube, as a matter of fact he's also a member on this site, he'll answer all of your questions. Check him...

    Is a Transmission Cooler Necessary

    If you don't know the stall of your converter, it's a very good idea to run a cooler, besides it may extend the life of your transmission. If your car is running hot, you need to further investgate, is your rad in good shape, are your front brakes dragging if calipers instead of brake drums. I...

    Comp cams any good?

    This is a scary topic since seeing so many failures. I have an comp cam extreme energy EX 274 with flat tappet purchased 20 years ago and still working great. I wouldn't change it for anything new, unless it was new old stock. Good luck!

    1979 Dodge Magnum 360-727 torqueflite squeaking in R,D,2,1

    Just reading all the comments, everyone of them may be right, write a list and check it all, also check the flex plate bolts to make sure something is not coming loose, very common if no lockite on the bolts. It wouldn't hurt to do a band adjustment on the transmission also. Great videos on...

    8.25 upgrade

    On a final note, make sure your ring gear is the same thickness as the original or u will have to get the center pin machined so axles will fit with c clips. In addition if u buy new should have a diagram showing how much to machine off, very important for machine shop. If it's a thicker ring...
