Hi guys,
My 73 Road Runner back fired so I went to restart her to suck the flame back into the engine where it belongs-and the new electric fuel pump kept pumping fuel and in less than a minute my new $7k
Paint job was done!
After cleaning up the fire damage I replaced the head gaskets. Before...
While I was repositioning the throttle mount and cable to align with the carb in a straight line I recalled the machine shop I took my 340 X Heads to and this guy was a jerk. He didn't complete the job meaning he did NOT check, clean or even run a tread cleaner to the mounting holes and then...
OK- I'm back after R and R the carb. It didn't seem like it was hanging up at the base. It is too early to fire her up -I have neighbors and it's only 7:35 am here on the west coast.
I'll start her up at 8:30 - 9:00 My R/R is really loud when the throttle sticks up in the high RPM range.
Yes I am aware I rushed to install without paying closer attention to what all members were trying to tell me - stuff I needed to be looking out for. I thought the converter was internally balanced. I was wrong. My bad. I won't be making this mistake again any time soon.
New issue though...
What...
NOW I Am Stumped - seems to be a pattern lol.
Following my Torque Converter & Stage 2 Transmission (both non-lock up) I had an opportunity to test drive her and there is a "new noticable vibration".
Is that to be expected of the Hughes 727 24 3000 HD converter? Or, is this a tranny issue?
What...
No-I believe it is internally balanced. And the tranny is non-lock up and so is the Hughes 727 24 H/D 3000.
But good looking out-very pertinent question. Had I not consider that possibility I might have been doomed or worst straight out of the gate. lol
Wow-you guys lay it on thick-if nothing else you are thorough.
Thank you one and all-the input is simply AWESOME.
And I am proud to report a100% success on the install. I followed your advice to the letter and in less than 2 days I concord the beast!!
I really could NOT have done this without...
Hi Racers,
OK let me set this up right so to have all pertinent info.
I am installing a 727 s/b non lock up stage 2 tranny PK 3898866 from a 1984 truck 318. With a Hughes 3000 hi stall converter in a 1973 Plymouth Road Runner 360. The 727 tranny coming out of my Road Runner PK 4329438.
Here's...
