    Correcting pinion and driveline angles by lowering transmission mount

    Friends, I am working through driveability improvements with the car and need some opinions on correcting pinion angle. I have caltracs and a higher-than stock ride height on my '67 satellite, which of course has changed driveline angles. At rest with weight on the wheels, transmission is...

    Overheating left bearing 8-3/4 rearend

    Scratching my head, drivers side bearing is overheating after replacing on 8-3/4 axle. Here's the details. About 15k miles ago, swapped pumpkins for a used 3.23 sure grip unit. Bearings looked ok, so I repacked and reinstalled. Have driven much since and the drivers side bearing burned up a few...

    Taller throttle cable bracket for 360

    Gentlemen, My 360 came to me with a really garbage welded together throttle cable bracket, and now that I have swapped in a performer rpm intake it is not tall enough for the correct geometry. I would like to add a 1" spacer as well, and that would really throw off the cable geometry. Does...

    360 motor mount opinions

    Gentlemen, I have a '67 satellite, originally a 318 car, with a 360 motor in it. Recently I completed an 1100 mile road trip, and my rubber oem-style motor mounts are shot. Almost sheared through on the driver's side. There are so many options out there for motor mounts, I would like to get...

    Lifter rattle

    Gentlemen, My tired 360 (smog, probably rebuilt but looks mostly stock) has a ticking sound coming from under the front passenger side of the valve cover, sounds like a lifter ticking. Gets better after a long drive (several hours at freeway speeds) but does not go away. I have done MMO in oil...

    727 is acting weird

    Gentlemen, Yesterday my trans (727/360 in a '67 Satellite) was acting really weird. With car warmed up, I would shift into D and nothing would happen. Rev up, nothing. Pull it over to 2 and 1, nothing. Put it back in park, back to D, went in gear fine. Linkage is intact, the gear indicator is...

    360 really doesn't want to idle in gear

    Mid 70's smog engine swap in a '67 satellite with a 727. Engine has headers, edelbrock performer 500cfm carb and otherwise stock. I am having a really tough time getting it to idle properly in gear while holding the car with brakes. As soon as I shift into D, it starts idling very erratically...

    Edelbrock carb cable and return spring

    Gentlemen, I'm having a tough time figuring out the correct spring location and cable routing to provide proper return to idle and full travel. Currently, I have the spring hooked down here because if i hook it to the bracket, it is way too high to provide good strength to close the throttle. If...

    M-P p4120249 valve spring alternatives

    Gentlemen, I acquired a purple cam from another forum member, and I'm looking for the correct valve springs to install with it. The box calls for Mopar p4120249, but they are ridiculously expensive, nearly $200 a set and I see comp spring sets are around $70. Can anyone help me determine the...

    OEM and aftermarket speedometer gear difference

    Just swapped the 33-tooth oem gear in my torqueflite for a 31-tooth and they looked totally different! The 31-tooth was considerably smaller in diameter and had a totally different tooth design. I got it indexed properly and took it around the block, appears to work as advertised but I am...
