    Electric Choke Wiring

    Just a quick one here...Where are those, that have them on their carbs, wire the Red wire to. I am currently running it at the positive side of my Ballast Resister...not spliced in which I am assuming is a Positive Ignition point, as specified by my Demon/Holly carb's instructions, and the...

    An Addition to Your Shop References

    I have commented here on numerous occasions about the lack of reference material a lot here seem to not have in their possession. Items such as FSM, Wiring Schematics, etc. For those looking, here is the best place for the Wiring Schematics I am referring to. Only thing I will say is, "GET...

    Seems to be the ongoing trend lately....

    This kind of a rant if you will. First off, this site has members that are extremely knowledgeable and have a wealth of information and experiences to share. What all to often I see though, is how individuals here will ask questions that pertain to their rides about how do I do this or how do I...

    A Piggy Back to the AV GAS Post...

    This past week I picked some of this stuff up from Summit Racing. It is supposed to help prevent corrosion of the Aluminum parts now in use in our rides. It is by Joe Gibbs Racing and is an additive to supplement the fuel upon fill up and reduce the effects of Ethanol and its corrosive effects...

    Power Steering Gear??????

    Just doing some preliminary research here for my 1966 Ply Sat. Has power steering. I removed the steering gear box a number of years ago when I first started the project and cleaned and inspected it to include the low pressure valve. I reassembled and painted it and along with new steering...

    Need an Opinion

    I am starting, now that I have my 66 Satellite project up and running, to downsize the massive amount of parts for that year and model car that I have accumulated over the past 8 years. Rather than just throw out a for sale ad and leave things as they are, I am re-conditioning what parts I can...

    Fuel Line From Fuel Rail to Fuel Pump

    Need some suggestions as to what I need to make a cleaner look for my Fuel system running from the carb to fuel pump. Carb is a Holley 3310S/4160/750 cfm/manual choke with vacuum secondaries/dual feed. Fuel rail is a Summit after market item. The fitting at the end of the fuel rail towards the...

    I followed Up in The Engine Section but here is more....

    Well...I got the new rocker arm keepers and spacers/shims done yesterday. Worked out really nicely I must say. I am more and more liking the newer stuff that we can use on our rides. Rusty...You were right on the spacing between the rockers and keepers. It was a tad too wide so I was able to get...

    Looking for some feedback if you will???

    Finally got the engine dialed in on the Satellite Project. Running awesome. That being said, I have pin pointed the knock I was experiencing to the transmission. 727 TF that I paid to have re-built and set up for storage. This was done over 6 years ago so no chance going back to the builder who...

    I freakin" broke it....

    :angryfire::angryfire::angryfire::angryfire: AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Over at my Brother's house working on putting the carb back on the intake manifold when I dropped it and tweeked the dual feed fuel line for my Holley 750/3310-C. Tried to remove it to straighten it out and made it worse. Got a...

    Factory Service Manual and Other Tech Items

    I have been noticing a trend recently here on FBBO and the other sites where questions are asked about this and that in regards to working on our rides. How many here actually have reference tools to help with repairs, mods, replacements, inspections, etc.? Mainly, who here has a FSM [Factory...

    To Paint or Not to Paint?????

    Which is the preference here? Paint Aluminum Engine components....In this case MOPAR Turquoise....or paint with VHT Aluminum paint. The engine is not original to the car....383....but is period or date coded correct as it is a 1965 engine. Or, do I keep the block and oil pan painted and then...

    Just Ordered.....Now what to do with the OLD HEADS??????

    440Source Heads for my 66 Ply Sat 383 project. I am stoked about it.....:blob1::blob1::blob1: I have been following the newer Aluminum Head offerings ever since their intro to the MOPAR world but haven't made the plunge for one reason or another. Should be here by the end of the week or the...

    How much Oil Pressure is Too Much?????

    My 383 build has been producing around 80-85 PSI when the engine is running. Got a windage tray and it is a center sump set up. It is in my 1966 Ply Sat Project. The FSM [Factory Service Manual] calls for between 40-45 PSI. I assume that is based on Stock engines only. I am running a Melling...

    440 Source Heads Questions...Need Opinions

    Putting out some feelers here to see how many of you all are using the 440Source Heads. I am leaning in that direction for my 383 re-do build...:angryfire:...and so far what I have gathered from their web site, they are quite widely used for both Street and Strip. The E-Heads are just too cost...

    ***UPDATE*** on my 383 and NorCal Engine Builders/Machine Shops

    Well...It turns out after pulling the engine yesterday, 383BB, that it is in fact the Rear Main Seal that is leaking. The 2 Galley Plugs and the Cam Plug are dry and no leakage there either. I started the tear down of the engine today and after removing the heads and studying them with a Lupe...

    Engine Builders and Machine Shops...NorCal/Sacramento??

    I need some advise as to who/whom one would go to to have an engine machined, built, dyno'd, etc., here in Northern CA. I am having extreme issues with my 383 that was built by a builder who actually built in failures to my build. I have had the engine disassembled and re-built correcting the...

    Define Valve Lashing...

    OK....I am having the most difficult time getting my roller rockers to quiet down on a newly re-built 383. Just some quick particulars... 1965 383 block with stock crank, rods, 516 heads,etc. Pistons are HP slugs and the cam is a mild 2328 from Hughes. I am also using their MOPAR specific .906...

    NorCal Machine Shop Recomendations???

    I need some recommendations from the Northern CA MOPARTS members here for a reliable machine shop that I can take a crankshaft to. I need to have it checked out and cleaned up. I purchased it from Al's Rapid Transit up in Willows late last year along with a set of connect rods for my 383. Just a...
