    Bought some more garbage! Now i gotta delete it

    I love the M body platform. Drove an 80 for years. There is a bunch of stuff you can delete if you don't have emissions to worry about. get rid of the lean burn ignition is a good start. I believe there was an air pump and multiple cats too. If you want to stick with the 2 barrel see if...

    So... I'm having a Merry Christmas.....

    Depending on what you want to learn there are a lot of us on here that can help you figure it out. That being said, first thing I always do on these cars (this is just me) is get an MSD 6a and better coil (Blaster 2 is fine, I have taken to using the ecoil from Pertronix) and loose the ballast...

    Throttle Kickdown with Holley Sniper

    I have seen a bunch of suggestion on this thread. But I have not seen anyone suggest adjusting the linkage at the tranny. With throttle at WOT the kick down lever should be all the way back. This is should be adjustable without having to redesign the whole system. If want me to I can try to...

    Best Carb combo for stock 85 318

    The 1406 will work. More initial timing is good. On factory stuff we would set initial as high as we could till it fought to start. (Too far advanced) then backed it off 2 degrees. Make sure that all in (4k - 6500 RPM) you do not exceed 36 degrees total timing. There is a limited pump shot on...

    Grant 846 Tuff wheel

    Hi all, Ordered this on Amazon: Grant 846 Classic Series Nostalgia 15 inch Black Foam Grip 3-Spoke Design with Horn Button Steering Wheel. 1. It is drilled to move over the horn ring from the original Tuff wheel. In my case it lined up and mounted correctly. 2. The mounting holes from wheel...

    Runs great in park and neutral, falls on its face in drive or reverse while stopped

    If you think you have an ignition issue buy a non lean burn distributor and slap it in there. It will work on the 360 too. Disconnect the lean burn and set the timing at 10 degrees BTDC. Shouldn't take more then an hour to do. That will eliminate the ignition as the problem if it still...

    faced with a new Y pipe, and wondering if I need new converters?

    Do you have emissions testing there? If not, pull the cats and get a dual exhaust setup. You could also pull the air pump which are notorious for seizing up.

    Well This Sucks!!

    How much patience do you have? Get in there with an angle grinder and a carbide bit. Maybe 5 minutes a bolt.

    Slant 6 Won't Start

    Pull that cap off and make sure the rotor is still good. I have had a couple times where a new rotor did not get the metal fire part clamped fully and you could move it with your finger. It will cause a problem. Does it sound like it is trying to start? Grab a spark plug and pull number 1...

    76 Roadrunner progress.

    Last time I posted about this car I was trying to figure out why I had no headlights. Turns out that at some time the bulkhead connector and been separated. When put back together it was done crooked and damaged 3 of the contacts. I built bypasses and now headlights work and so does the dash...

    Fuel mileage dropping

    Do you have a catalytic converter? If so remove it or hollow out and see if MPG improves. Go find a know 1 mile run. Mark odo and drive the 1 mile. See if odo is close. Is the choke opening all the way? What is the idle timing setting? Do you still have the vapor return system on the fuel...

    77 or 78 FSM wiring diagram

    I have searched the forum and google all the internet. I have not found exactly what I need. A lot of stuff on the early style connector. Not so much on the 77 and up. :)

    77 or 78 FSM wiring diagram

    Those are some help. But the issue is I want to change my 76 ignition switch (very similar to a 76 A body) to a 77 and up ignition switch. These are the ones that the connector is a half moon shape. The number of wires does not match LOL. Using a mish mash of my Haynes manual and a 76 FSM I...

    cam shaft replace

    For the record I have run the flat tappet version on a stock converter and much worse gearing and it was fine. Thanks for digging up the roller equivalent. But you really shouldn't go much bigger.

    Suspension parts?

    Get a dremal with a fiber glass cut of wheel. Make 2 cuts on opposite sides of the nut. Don't go all the way way through the nut but about 90ish%. Then get a metal chisel put in one of the slots you just cut and whack away with a heavy hammer. The nut will break. I might have a set available...

    cam shaft replace

    Look at the specs for a Comp Cams XE268 and see if you can find a roller version. You can call Hughes Engines and they will probably have a cam shaft that will get you close. Xtreme Energy 224/230 Hydraulic Flat Cam for Chrysler 273-360 It would be a great street cam and you don't have to...

    What can we do to make things better?

    I have pointed numerous people here from the MANY Facebook groups for these cars. It is like many Facebook people have no idea what a forum is. They ask tons of questions that this board has the answer. I don't get it. I always prefer to check here before anywhere else. I am pretty...
