    Help. Engine shakes badly at idle.

    On the way back from a car show yesterday I noticed the car had a slight hesitation and engine shake. I pulled off the highway and it felt like a bad misfire. This morning I replaced the distributor cap, ignition wires and checked the coil. I don’t think it is a misfire. The engine starts...

    Fuel sender question.

    I have some problems with my fuel gauge reading correctly, and have finally decided to take care of this annoying issue. It is an aftermarket sender and original fuel gauge. Knowing that the new senders do not really send correct ohm readings I added a meter match to help. My issue is that...

    Rubber floor options.

    I own a 1967 coronet 440 and have reached the point where I can work on the interior. Anyone know where I can purchase a vinyl/rubber floor? I would like to stay away from the traditional carpet to not have to worry on the rainy days.

    Distributor question

    What’s is the small part circled in red in the picture attached? My distributor is not exactly the same but has that same part. It has a flap on top that seems to be spring loaded.

    727 transmission leak at bellhousing.

    When I took my 727 transmission to get rebuilt I also added a Summit deep pan that adds 2 quarts. It shifts great and does not leak anywhere but a small drop every now and then out of the bottom of bellhousing. The car usually gets driven every other week when I am not driving my pickup truck...

    Fuel Pump leaking

    Is it possible for a fuel pump to leak oil from the weep hole? I keep chasing a small oil leak on the passenger side of the engine around the fuel pump. It creates a light oil coat on the front of the block and head. I removed the pump last week and made sure the gasket was good and it was...

    Car is a 1967 Coronet 440 with 318, automatic 727 Torqueflite. I have been having a lot of fun with it after chasing a rear main seal leak and bad distributor gasket/clamp. I have upgraded the engine with hooker headers, flow master dual exhaust, Edelbrock intake and four barrel carb. The...

    Points distributor base metal gasket.

    Anyone know who sells the meta gasket for a 318 points distributor base? I need one for my original distributor and all the replacements I find are the felt type that seem to deteriorate over time, causing a leak.

    Rear main cap install question

    I asked this in a previous post but got no answers to this specific question, regarding a persistent rear main leak. Thanks to everyone help I have managed to minimize the leak greatly. Only a few drops when pushing past 1500 rpm. The only thing I can think may be an issue is the following...

    Rear main cap question

    see images attached. Is it normal to have this much gap between engine block and rear main cap outer stepped edge? The cap also seems to not sit perfectly flush with the block along the front and rear of cap. Is there a certain way to sit the cap in place before torquing to avoid this?

    I just finished replacing the oil gasket and pan. Before that the rear main seal. This is the third time I replace the pan and gasket and it leaked again. No leak with just the car idling, but once I get it over 2000 rpm it leaks. I am using the Milodon 4 piece gasket with a summit racing...

    I just finished installing a new summit racing oil pan and Milodon crush proof gasket on my coronet 318 / 727 transmission. Everything fit great and no leaks so far. But when I got under the car to inspect I heard a rattle from the transmission cover plate. Looking at it closely it seems...

    What size are 318 la oil pan bolts?

    Well….. I may have done a lot of work for no reason at all. I replaced the rear main seal because I was sure it was leaking. Today when I go to install the new oil pan one of the bolts seemed like it was bottoming out before it put pressure on the pan. I grabbed a different one and it fit...

    I just finished replacing the rear main seal and cap and have two questions. After I torqued the cap to 85 foot pounds per the manual I can see part of the “ears” on the lower half protruding past the cap. Do I just cut this off so it does not interfere with the oil pan. Second is that the...
