    Was this problem ever solved? I have the same issue. Thanks.

    Rebuilt 383 Low Oil Pressure

    First off, 25 PSI is not low enough to cut the idiot light on. Did you hook the cheapo electric gauge up to the sending unit? You should put a GOOD manual gauge on it first and go from there.

    Differential fluid

    It will not "ruin" the seals. However, synthetic has such great flow characteristics that it can find leaks in seals where a carbon based oil may not. I am sure that's what your friend is referring to, and he's not wrong. I'm not saying synthetics are bad, but you may find a seeping seal. If the...

    Recommendations for cam/lifter set, plug wires?

    Something in the 480 lift range give or take, mid to high 220s for duartion @.050 and a 112 LSA for the street. Since you have headers, I would stick with a single pattern cam.

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    I think without proper diagnosis, that might be a mistake.

    1975 318 engine paint color

    What you got ain't right. The correct color is called Chrysler blue. I've never had problems because I always stick with the color name rather than a part number. Your number checks out. You got a mis labled can.

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    That's normal. The strut rods get tweaked like that over time.....similar to torsion bars. Don't sweat it. The problem is somewhere else. I am almost starting to think it's just aligned wrong.

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    Right Mike, but it appears to be toed out like hell. Get that right and camber goes up. If it does, then there might be room to jack the adjusters in on the rear and get caster good. I'm bein optimistic. - - - Updated - - - ehhhhhhhhhh........what is THAT circled in red? appears to be one on...

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    Here's the thing. The toe will certainly have an effect on camber. Too much toe out (which is how it appears) will make camber go negative, because as the tire toes out, the top of the tire leans in due to both caster and SAI. Since both are actually an arc, this is why the top of the tire leans...

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    You know......the upper control arms ARE interchangeable. I just wonder if somebody inadvertantly swapped right to left? That would explain the caster. You know the car looked like it had a rake in the first pics, but it looks good on the rack. I like that rack too. Old school. Still though, I...

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    Are the tires the same size? I tell you what, I would be looking for a second opinion on front end specs. I think something is fishy. I know guys that do "alignments" without the legs down with the rack in the air. Dumbasses. I also know guys that do caster sweeps holding the tire instead of...

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    Alright. That's a pretty good rake. There's a LOT of your caster reduction right there. If you can level the car out, you'll find your caster will go up. Way up. But, you need to drop the rear, not raise the front in order to make a difference in caster. Or of course you can install the offset...

    Upper Control Arm CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLT

    What sorta rake does the car have? Does it sit a good bit higher in the rear?

    compression ratio again

    The United engine calculator doesn't SAY anything about either.....until you drop down to figure dynamic compression. I know the variables are worked into the formula, but to save space and not cofroosh simple minds like mine, they shortened it up some. Like I said, I don't handle...

    compression ratio again

    Hush up. Stroke aint on that calculator. Yer tryin to make all this way too complicated. I'm too stupid for all that longhand. lol

    compression ratio again

    Stroke aint counted in the calculator at the United engine web site. Only for dynamic compression. I should have clarified. It simply depends which formula and which calculator you use.

    benno, double check that piston head cc. That's a huge amount. What part number is that piston?
