The car had some issue with timing and so but he was able to work it out and the 383 now sings like ever before. He bought a set of...

    My Coronet project

    I made it to the finish line! Hi everybody! This will be one of the last threads in this project. This weekend I decided to finish my car and sell it. 10 min after the add came out the first guy calls and he lives only 15 min from here. I open up the door to the garage and I could hear his...

    Questions about recurving the distributor

    Just got a mail from Don at FBO who sold me the plate and spring kit and here is his advise for me: Start with 20 degree initial timing, put in the plate so it is limiting the advance to 14 degree, that gives me a total of 34 degree advance. Try to keep the springs hard enough to reach full...

    Questions about recurving the distributor

    OK, thanks for all the help, I found a FBO plate and spring kit here in Sweden! Will have it on tuesday. A friend of mine has a Sun distributor tester but he lives to far away but it was a cool machine, The next issue was the vacuum advance, it is marked with a 9 and I guess it means 18 degree...

    Questions about recurving the distributor

    Hi, Before I pulled the engine from the car I took some measures of the mechanical advance and it was not so good, 10 degree initial was 10 degree even at 2200 rpm, then it started to move and at 3500 rpm it was 34 degree and at 4000-4500 I reached 36 degrees. The car did not ran as good as I...

    Head Troubles...

    I prefer this type of stud remover, the one you twist in is expanding in the bolt making it stuck even more, this one does also expand but not as much as the twist type. http://img.tradera.net/images/654/202416654_ea7a7263-2526-414d-b285-a23bd5175171.jpg

    Monroe's 70 GTX

    Just read all the 21 pages and it is a masterpiece! The 1970 modell is so cool and I really like the green color, if I ever travel to Australia visiting you and see this car live will top the to do list, on second and third place is the great barrier reef and the Sydney opera house... :notworthy:

    Port match worth the effort?

    My 516 has the 2.08/1.74 setup, pretty tight in the guides too, will just grind in the cleaned valves, throw in new seals and put them back together. The previous owner did some kind of restoration of the engine but it needed some minor adjustments, for example put the pistons in the right...

    SOLD 1970 B-Body Bucket Seats

    Hi Payton, could you please help a poor guy overseas and take a couple of pictures of the tracks and maybe take some measures for me as well? Or take the pictures with a scale or ruler (don't know the correct name)? Those tracks are impossible to find here...

    My Coronet project

    Here is some pictures of the progress so far, The steering is ready, the collars too, cut the gear indicator off and did some grinding, ended up pretty well. Have not been able to mount the seats yet, waiting for a console and will see if it is possible to have it together with the quicksilver...

    Port match worth the effort?

    Got a set of 516 and a torker intake that is far from perfect when it comes to port match, is it worth the time to make them match or shall I leave it as it is? Power gain 10-15 hp? 383 with a 284H

    Height of seat tracks 1970 b-body?

    OK, thanks Dodger, a little to much money for me right now. BTW, I still have the tracks from my bench, does anyone knows if the outer track from a bucket seat is the same as the outer on the bench?

    Height of seat tracks 1970 b-body?

    Trying to install a pair of bucket seats from a -74 challenger in my Coronet but I need to know the height of the tracks, the one on the e-body seats are way to low and I was planning to make some spacers for them, I can´t find tracks from a -70 here in Sweden so you are my last hope... Try...

    My Coronet project

    Ooops, my thread has dropped to page five, time for an update. Got an idea of a bucket seat car with a console and floor shorter would be more fun, Spauldo had a console that is on its way over seas, bought a B&M Quicksilver, if the console doesn't fit I will keep it on the shelf, prio one is...
