This is really a generic question rather than specific tuning of my car. I think I understand it but would love somebody to give me a simple confirmation or a correction, please.
My car is a 360. Compared to stock (8-10BTDC) , my camshaft ( a P4452761 ) needs much more initial ignition...
I am curious about what the factory fitted. I think it must have been a Carter but which one? What would be closest to it if I can't get a rebuilt one? Edelbrock 1406?
Thanks for any help.

My 64 Bristol 408 has a 1962 727 push-button transmission. It starts just fine in reverse or drive - ask me how I know!
I haven't crawled around to see if it's just a loose wire on the neutral safety switch, or what, yet but I have managed to get confused over whether it should have a single...
I've looked at other threads but don't see an answer to my question. So here goes.
My car has the 360 from a 78 Monaco complete with stock exhaust manifolds including the heat riser on the right manifold. The car is on stands right now for other work and not running. The heat riser is well...
I mashed a bushing today trying to get it in. They have no outer metal shell. That is the way they are supposed to be for this car (1964 Bristol 408). I've never seen bushings that did not either have a metal outer sleeve bonded to them or, for poly, where you reuse the sleeve from the old...
My car has a pushbutton shifter with round buttons mounted horizontally. It's on the right in the photo. I have seen Valiants with round buttons but they were mounted vertically.
Can anyone tell me which, if any, Mopars used round buttons fitted horizontallly?
I am also curious about the...
My engine and transmission are Mopar but the rest of my car isn't. However, you folks come up with some great solutions so I thought I'd ask about this.
The pic below shows the problem: I can't get the u-joint off the splined end of the steering column. It has to come out as the u-joint is...
Not a B Body but I am trying to get a subframe off the main frame rails of my car. The subframe is butted onto plates at the front of the main frame rails and bolted in place.
Several bolts holding the crossmember to the frame have very shallow heads. See the lower bolt in the photo. I...
As I have posted in previous threads, I get pretty poor fuel consumption and a Muscle Car sounding idle. The idle would be great on the right car but not really suited to mine. My Bristol 408 had its engine replaced with one rebuilt in 1991 that I have the following info. for. I know it used...
I am looking for something self-adhesive that can go on the engine side of the firewall. It's not for a specific Mopar, so I need something universal that comes in sheets or on a roll. I need to cover about 6 sq ft. I plan covering the areas closest to the exhaust manifolds, the large heater...
Happy New Year!
New Year: new problem.
My electric fuel pump was installed upside-down when I got the car and very noisy. Also, the filter never seemed full of fuel despite the pump and filter being mounted below the level of the fuel tank bottom.
I remounted the pump in the correct...
My car has a 1978 Monaco 360 engine with a Mopar Performance Cam 4452761. It has original cast iron exhaust manifolds and dual 2.5" exhausts. The exhausts had glasspacks but I replaced them with baffle type mufflers. Why? Because despite liking the performance and behavior of the car, I...
My car has
1978 Monaco 360 engine.
Mopar Performance Cam 4452761.
Summit Racing Carb SUM-M08600VS. 600cfm
Distributor Pertronix PNX-D141701.
Coil Pertronix PNX-45001.
and a Mallory 140 Comp Pump in the trunk that is mounted upside down for Heaven's Sake! No idea why the PO fitted it this way...
My car has an alternator with an internal regulator fitted in place of the original dynamo and regulator. Recently, the ignition warning light has refused to go out. It glows a bit all the time. I read that is an indication that the charging system is not working and there being an imbalance...
I need some VERY basic advice. Keep the explanations simple, please, because I am a complete newbie to V8s and 4bbl carbs. My engine experience before has only been on Jaguar L6 EFI engines.
My car (1964 Bristol 408) has the following installed:
1978 Monaco 360 engine.
Mopar Performance Cam...
Background: My 64 Bristol has discs all round. 2 1/8in calipers on front and 1 1/2in calipers on back. It has a dual master cylinder - one line for front brakes and one for rear. No proportioning valve anywhere. Each set of brakes has a remote booster. The boosters front and rear were...
All I've read seems to say it should be stamped in the block on the left (driver) side of the block just below the cylinder head but I can't find it. Is it hidden behind the exhaust manifold?

I'm reasonably knowledgeable about cars but I know very little about American V8s. The car I bought has the following in it:
1978 Chrysler 360 rebuilt with -
P4529116 intake
4452761 cam
Summit Racing M08600VS carburetor
Factory cast iron exhaust manifolds
The transmission is a pushbutton...
