    Driveline vibration at speed

    Ok. I give up on trying to figure this out. Have a vibration that starts around 70 mph and gets progressively worse with speed. Brand new driveshaft and all associated hardware (yokes etc) Transmission is new and so is flexplate (vibration was there on my old tranny too so that can't be the...

    popping in exhaust?

    Did a search and couldn't find anything relevant to what I experienced yesterday in my SB. Just cruising along in the 2-3k rpms it would have a steady popping coming from the exhaust (under the car) system. My guess is unburnt fuel in the exhaust igniting? Car ran great when i got on it so...

    Opinions on intake manifold choice

    Just completed break in of my new 493 and i have been doing some research on carbs / intakes. Currently i have a quickfuel 780 and performer rpm (these were on my 440 before the rebuild.) Im under the impression that this carb is probably on the smaller side of the range for this particular...

    Help with torque converter?

    First of all Merry Christmas to all.. Im going through the "debug" process on the 69 Bee i purchased recently. Bare with me as i don't know specifics on any of the engine internals as it was purchased from a dealer who didn't have any specifications. When at idle (in drive) ~1050 rpms she...

    Odd oil burn in 440???

    Had a strange thing happen today when tuning my new carb. After an 10 minute idle period the temp rose steadily and she began to emit some blue smoke. Not horrible, but noticeable. I quickly switched on the elec fan (yea yea i hate those things too, came on the car) and temps quickly dropped...
