What speed detailer are you using? And why do you like it? Been using Lucas Slick Mist for some time and like it but am curious about the ceramic products that seem to be all the rage now a days. Love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks..................

Any body know any details/specs about the Nash Bridges TV show 'cuda? I wonder where it is today???? Thanks.......

I'm looking to have a pro built engine for my 'cuda and was wondering if any of you have heard of or had dealings with Performance Injection Equipment out of Delaware? Thanks......

Anybody know where an AIRTEMP decal would go on a 1970 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA [BP23] car with a 440 and air conditioning? Thanks all.......................

What CFM carb would have came on a 1970 440 HP engine? And what CFM carb would have came on a 1973 440 truck engine ? Thanks all ..............................

I am using a non synthetic 80/90 and i've tried adjusting the first/second shift rod. Looks like it's gonna have to come out. Too bad, otherwise it runs smooth and quiet. Thanks guys.....

If I'm in second gear and I let off the throttle and an not holding the shifter back the trans will pop into neutral. This is the only gear that does this. The shift from first to second has a different feel to it compared to the shifting of all the other gears. Kind of hard to put language to...

Interesting measurement, the gear on the distributor is pretty coarse, if that's what you meant, and there's a cylinder firing every 45 degrees. My head is starting to hurt. I think it's going to be a winter project/experiment.

Gotcha, for now I'm just happy it's running great. I understand that there's a relationship between the keyway and the timing mark on the balancer, you wouldn't happen to know how many degrees that should be? Thanks again.........

Pretty sure it's a false reading.....

UPDATE....I through the spec book out the window and moved the timing to where the motor was happy. BOOM, no more run-on, starts great, no pops, knocks or back fires. And the car runs great. Just a little fine tuning with the vacuum advance and I'm done. I put a timing light on it and it's at...

I think some more carb tuning is in order and if that doesn't yield the desired results the timing cover is coming off to check for a skip or what I suspect is an assembly error.

Didn't consider that, thanks D .........

Hey CGC; It's a 440, and I know rotation and firing order. Thanks, we're good. Just trying to sort out some strange timing issues, run-on and poor full throttle performance. I didn't build this motor so its pretty much a mystery.

Got it to TDC and it looks like the rotor is in contact but slightly past center of #1. Does that make it a slip? Does a slip always go the same way? I understand that the valve train & ignition would be slightly ahead of the crank & pistons. Is there a performance benefit to this? Or, what kind...

Good question, I hope someone can explain it because I sure can't. It almost seems to imply some stray voltage is running around. .

So this all started with run-on and wide open throttle issues. Didn't have a timing light to start with so I was retarding the timing in small increments and then running and driving the car. Results were going in a good direction. Got a timing light and found out it was at about 8* AFTER TDC...

Just noticed that my electronic conversion distributor has a 3/32" allen head inside the vacuum advance port. Feels like it can be turned both ways. So what does this do? Any advantages with adjusting this, that is if it truly is adjustable? Thanks.................

OK So I broke down and bought a timing light. It slightly after TDC. It's now about and I mean about 10* before TDC. Got some degree tape on the way. When you rev it up it sure seems to have a lot of total advance. Here's what I'm working with. Still runs on, maybe a little worse.

Yea I know, it's on the list and it will be a while.......................
