    Yet another fuel gauge one... what's wrong?

    Right, I'll try to cover ad much as I can: Tested fuel gauge straight to negative, it works fine going all the way up. There is a dedicated ground from chassi to fuel sender unit to make sure it has good ground. Sender if giving me the right range, 10 (or so) on full, 75 (well, 77) on...

    LIFTER assembly question

    Hi all, I thought my engine had a tapping sound and decided to give a go on the lifters. I removed all them, opened, cleaned, reassembled and submerged in oil and force it up and down to load it. Put it back and sounded louder. Improved by the time I was driving but I don't think it made any...

    Long cranking time to start

    Hi all just to check options here, I have a 440 6 barrel and the first start of the day can be painful sometimes. There's this ritual: Crank for about 10 sec. Press pedal to the floor (choke) and release crank for another 10 seconds... and it starts! ....well... usually... sometimes it won't...

    Silly question - 6 pack 440

    Hi all. I'm trying to run the car a bit better, it's way too rich. The exhaust keeps spitting black sludge all the time, cold or hot, no stop. I've been playing with timing and a vacuum gauge, managed to get a better result and way better response but I know that's not the way. Also the idle...

    Am I screwed? Loud knocking

    Loud noise coming from the engine. Though about lifters at first but it's quite loud under the engine also. Tried a flush and oil change but nothing. I'm very concerned now. It's a 440 6 pack. If driving the noise seems to ease a bit but it the rpm goes up it gets much worse. I tried to make a...

    Amp not in use... what to do with the wires?

    Quick and simple question... I removed the dash and noticed the amp is not in use. Instead both wires were together in one of the bolts from the amp. (Can't remember which one now) but the question is: - Do they need to be attached to the amp/dash (if so any bolt or any specific?) or can I just...

    Advice on spark plugs

    Hi all, I would like some advice on spark plugs. A is from a 440 6 pack, is that too rich? And B is from a 318 4 barrel, is that too lean? Thank you a lot.

    70 GTX takes too long to start

    Sorry about the very silly question, but that's my fist big block and I still have loads to learn about it. Unfortunately with the winter coming and lack of daylight It will take a long time until I can spend some time knowing the engine, etc. Anyway... the car takes way too long to start...

    1970 GTX tail lights leaking

    Hi all, I have a small waterfall in the trunk mainly coming through the tail lights nuts and also the gasket. The lights are very badly designed and it creates a water bucket so the water has to go somewhere. I'm facing 2 issues here: 1- the screw from the bezels aren't in great condition so...

    Fuel tank vents leaking

    Hello all. I noticed today the fuel tank vents are leaking. Car is leveled and full tank on Thursday evening 6 miles from home. It was dripping really bad, no idea how much fuel I lost in the couple of days. Anyway, weather is no hot at all to justify pressure in the tank, I did open the cap...
