Did B-bodies stop sending out the emails showing the best comments (posts) of the week/month? Ive noticed I haven't seen one lately and enjoyed reading them. Just wondering if I changed a setting or they just stopped.

We finally got some decent weather so I figured i would get around to checking out my timing chain. My 71 383 RR has over 123k miles on it so i figured i would replace the chain and gear set. I am guessing the chain was stretched looks it to me but what do I know. Never did this before. I...

My apologies if this has been asked before. Is it possible to change timing chain without pulling engine? Everytime i look for infomation on changing chain. They are doing it on an engine sitting on a stand. I've checked youtube as well and its always a rebuild being done on a stand never in the...

So I'm curious about compression. My 71 383 is all original. Has 104k miles on it. When I bought car the motor was seized. I put ever lube know to man into the cylinders. Working the crank for months till it broke free. I had the heads redone. New lifters. Car runs great. My compression is only...

I had my 71 RR out last night and since Ive owned it never had to turn on the lights. Well to my suprise when leaving the show all my lights came on. Dash, headlights, tailights and side markers. It wasnt till I got home that I realized no brake lights. So today i figured i would be replacing my...

Im to the point where my engine needs to be rebuilt. 100 psi compression in all cylinders, while it starts and runs good its tired. Im in the dark when it comes to rebuilds. Looking to boost HP maybe to 400 but really dont care. I only drive it maybe 750 miles a year. Reliability is main goal. I...

Has anyone dealt with any of their replacement parts?

I'm picking up a lot of rust in my fuel filters (yes filters running 2). My car is all original. Does replacing tank with new effect value or is it one of those things that doesn't matter. One way I either replace with new or try and seal up old tank. When i first got car tank had a lot of rust...

My 71 RR with 383 4bl has an annoying miss. Car starts right up Idles fine but you can detect a miss. I pulled all of the plugs today they look great, gap good. The weird thing is once i drive car about 2 to 3 miles it goes away. If i try to accelerate when its cold miss is really bad.Once car...

Been dealing with a clunk in front end for awhile. Found a bad strut bushing on my 71 RR. While checking wheel bearings I've noticed bad upper control arm bushings (the rubber is bulging out). Plus the pitman arm needs replacing. I'm considering the kit from PST (standard). Is there an order to...

I have a Holly 4160 carb. On a stock 383 71 RR. My problem is while running the car without engaging the secondaries all is great. Once the four barrel opens up. They wont close. The first time luckily i was on a long straight road and keep hitting gas and releasing and they closed. The second...

I have been trying to find the source of a clunk in the front of my 71 RR for the past year. Found the Idler arm was bad replaced it. Did the happy dance. Short lived, clunk again. It clunks on heavy acceleration usually once or twice during a 100 mile ride. Today here in northern NJ it finally...

Ok I was looking to buy some paint to touch up some areas on my 71 RR. Since i got the car. I have been told it was Rallye Red. Even a body and paint friend of mine said it was the Rallye Red. Same with registration. I plugged the info from the fender into the decoder and it comes up...

Ok I know most of you will probably tell me to ditch the front drums and go to disk. Honestly I have come close to doing it. My problem is everything is original on my 71 Road Runner and I had wanted to keep it that way. My problem is I cant find a new drum for my car. My one drum is a little...
