I've got a knock and I have no idea where I should start troubleshooting. See video description for details. It only happens at idle and is way more pronounced when cold. Thank you for any help.

Engine is a 383, I have the Comp Cams XE275HL which has .525" of lift. Engine has been in the car running great since 2012. I could've sworn when I bought the heads that I looked over everything that needed to be done in order to run with my combo. I changed out the locks and keepers to 10...

I always thought a lot of valve train noise was normal for BBs, though mine always seemed excessive. Decided to pull the valve covers and poke around today, I'm a novice and learned everything I know from here, youtube, and books. I noticed the roller rockers have quite a bit of side to side...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good holiday. These few days off gave me some tinkering time. I've got a trans leak I'm tracking down and since I had the shift linkage off I figured it would be a good time to replace what I had on there with the correct linkage. However I dont know what the...

Hey guys, So a while back I posted about my dyno results with the 383 and mentioned I was getting what I assumed was valve float at around 5k rpm. It was suggested to change my springs as I didn't do that when I bought my stealth heads all I did was upgrade the locks and retainers to the 10*...

So I've been reading a lot of threads on setting timing so I figured I'd try it without a light and listen to the engine. So I disconnected the vacuum advance, hooked up a vacuum gauge and started turning the distributor. Paying attention to the vacuum readings and RPM. I gained about 2" of...

I don't know why I've never checked this before but I did the paperclip test on my Holley 770 Street Avenger and the secondaries aren't opening. I'm actually happy they aren't because I've always felt that there should be more power to this car with all the add ons I have on the engine. So now I...

I drove to our local cruise in tonight car ran great just as normal. Go to pull into a spot and the car dies, cranked it and fires up then dies again so I crank again and got nothing. Pop the hood and no fuel is running through the filter and I have no pressure when cranking. Took the line off...

I'm about to do the first oil change in my new motor, its a 383 I have maybe a 100 miles or so on it. I don't know for sure cause me speedometer/odometer isn't working. I've heard things that it's not good to put synthetic in a fresh motor then I've heard others say its crap. If no one has heard...

So here is what I've got. New engine just broke it in a week ago. It's a 383 with the comp cams xe275HL (duration 275/287, lift .525). I'm just learning about engines so I'm not sure what my vacuum should be but I'm only reading about 7.5 -8" and the needle is not steady. I have timing set a 18*...

:angry9: So I had a guy help me out with breaking in my engine yesterday but it didn't go so well. We couldn't get it to fire, we would only get fireballs every once in a while shooting out the carb which tells me we where 180* out but we checked the timing a bunch of times and I'm not that...

My water pump pulley is sitting to far forward, not sure if it is the right pulley or not it was just what was on my car. Engine is a 383, federal power steering pump, and a denso alternator. All the pulleys line up with the crank okay but I need the fan to either go with the power steering...

Well in an effort to save time and money I've decided not to have my transmission rebuilt and just change the seals and install the B&M Transpak kit I have. The problem is I don't know which seals should be changed. Can anyone provide some insight so I don't miss anything when I head over to...

I was reading the bottle of Lucas brand gear oil I bought and it said no "posi" additive required. I just wanted to make sure nobody has had problems not adding anything to thier oil, thanks.

I need help please or maybe some reassurance. I've got motive gears and a 7290 yoke (not a billet one) going together and they are not lining up right. The diameter and the spline count are there but the shape of the splines are off. The guy I bought these parts from informed me of this but I...

So I was trying to seperate the third member from the rear end yesterday while the rear end was sitting on a couple of jacks and one side of the rear end slipped off. The I don't think the axle hit first but was slide out about a couple of inches before it fell. I'm thinking the backing plate to...

I just got a clutch style sure grip and I'll be installing it in a open 489 case. Besides just the sure grip unit do I need the seller to include any other hardware or anything like that?

Hey guys is the oil slinger supposed to touch the timing chain? I know the slinger is installed correctly (outside lip pointing towards the front of the engine) but it is touching the chain and I wasn't sure if this is a problem or not. The timing chain is a double roller and I heard that it is...

Hey everyone. There was no steering section so I figured I'd just throw this question in here. Has anybody rebuilt their steering coupler? I already have the rebuild kit from Mopar but I wasn't to sure how to get the thing off and if this is even possible to do with the steering column in the...

I got my short block back from the engine builder over the weekend. My question is I orginally had a 5/16" fuel set up would it be beneficial for me to upgrade to a 3/8" setup. If so besides getting a 3/8" sending unit and obviously the line what else would I need? I've heard the 3/8" had a...
