    440 thermostat?

    When I put a 180 degree Robert Shaw stat in my 440, it made it very clear to me to get it the hell outta there. Didn't like it. I put a robert shaw 160 in it. My 440 is VERY happy now.

    69 A12 Bee won't start

    OK guys. I got my A12 Bee running. It was a bad distributor. When I bought the car in 2016, it had a Flame Thrower distributor in it. I wanted the stock look but I wanted an Electronic distributor too so.....I ordered a conversion kit from Mancini. It was a Proform distributor. Word on the...

    Never got a chance to check the timing because I couldn't get it started. The distributor hold down was tight. That distributor did NOT move. I did think of that and tried to turn the distributor. It wouldn't move. I believe the dist. is bad.

    Quick update: I have 12v at the coil. The coil wire is shooting a nice crisp snappy spark. The plug wires are shooting a spark so faint that you have to squint to see if it's really happening. At this point, I'm putting the blame on the Proform "Mopar" distributor that I installed 2 years...

    I tested voltage at the connector where the yellow wire plugs into the starter relay. It was only 9.6volts. Shouldn't it be 12volts?

    Well, the wiring under the dash is original. Only the wiring in the engine compartment is all brand new.

    Super Bee Ski - I have a 74 Firebird Formula 400 and last year the car died a mile from my house. I scrapped all the MSD crap and put a single wire DUI in it. You're correct, it was like a new car. I wonder if the distributor in my Bee went bad. It's 2.5 years old.

    69 A12 Bee won't start

    This just started. This car ran awesome and one day (a few weeks ago) I felt a slight surging as I was cruising around 30 - 35 mph. It got worse in a very short time. I was 15 miles from home. By the luck of God, I hit every green light. I knew it wouldn't idle if I let off the gas. I made...

    69 A12 Bee won't start

    Hi, before I get into what has been happening, let me ask a question first. So picture this: you turn the ign key to crank and the engine cranks and cranks. It won't start. You release the key back to the run position. THEN, you turn it back even more to the off position and all of a sudden...
