I have one on my 65 Chevy truck IF you can get the aluminum fan shroud for your radiator for an E fan they do work very well the fan they ship with is complete garbage but the shroud is totally worth it.

I think I might have commented on the bookface thread about this any luck with a shroud on this Gearhead?

I finally figured out the misfiring issue. It was essentially installation error. I ended up remaking the bracket and switching to a generic threaded vr sensor. That made it better but the underlying issue was still there. well it turns out that a microsquirt isn’t nearly as water resistant...

I hope not but if so you’d think it’d do it left too since the last post I did some driving and logging. I’ve figured out how to make it act up on demand. When it does the crank position is losing sync. It’s something to do with the sensor and mounting. I’ve already gone over that part of the...

I’ve been driving and enjoying the car and up until this weekend it’s been trouble free. but since the weekend the car has developed a strange issue I haven’t been able to diagnose yet. it bogs down and even dies out but only when turning right and only then when you do so with a little...

I have one of these in my gambler van I scored for $10 at a yard sale and it would be a good solution for a bucket seat car. The keyed lock on the thing cracks me up though. Like putting a lock on a loaf of bread

no that’s the first time I’ve stuck the kool rest in the car.

I’ve had this for a couple years now that I picked up for my 65 Chevy truck that was just too big for it being a stick shift on the floor. I automatically assumed it was way too big for a car but I tossed it in today and honestly it fits the Chrysler way way better than the Chevy. I might give...

Excellent point with respect to being secured. The floor hump console I mentioned above is zip tied to the carpet with one of those 24” long jobbers otherwise it would not stand a chance

What have you guys came up with to solve the lack of cup holders in these cars that doesn't involve changing seats. I have a vintage rubber queen floor console that honestly leaves much to be desired Pics welcome

I’ve been able to start putting miles on the car and by in large have the tuning dialed in. The idle algorithm could use a little more work and I still have the closed loop fueling to tune but she’s drivable and pulls good and runs 1000% smoother I will have some before and after MPG data in...

The installation is essentially done. Well with the exception of doing something about the cheesiest air cleaner known to man. At some point I’ll try to find a 4bbl air cleaner assembly. I also have a little noise from something related to the CPS clicking or dragging on something. Honestly I’ll...

Good point. anyway after piecing everything together and a bunch of false cranks while I fiddled with some tuner studio parameters I got the engine to start and run. Be it the crank trigger or the timing chain that wandering base timing is now gone. With the ignition timing locked in tuner...

Finally back to work on the car. I cannot complain though I spent the weekend on a gambler 500 beating on another mopar this time an 02 3500 van I failed to account for part of the power steering bracket occupying the same space as the bracket and bolts for the CPS. No biggie I just...

There is certainly many ways to skin this cat. But realistically with a 100k mile 318 the cloyes double roller timing set I ordered will absolutely outlast what life the engine has left in it. Oldsmobile did the same thing with nylon sprockets and experienced the same issues on the 307 after...

While I have the front of the engine apart waiting on rockauto I decided that I’d be a fool to not make a crank position sensor setup. I did get the car running with the basic trigger in the distributor but the hard starting and wandering timing bug me. I don’t think all this was attributed to...

well it wasn’t missing any teeth but it was pretty stretched and probably had 4 or 5 degrees of slack it definitely wasn’t long for this world

Something isn’t right. The timing is moving around all over the place even with the ignition fixed in tuner studio and the engine will not run with the timing mark anything near what the timin tab says is appropriate I’ve got a ton of slack between the crankshaft and the rotor moving either...

I will need to get the reluctor to line up with the pickup at 10 degrees. To do this I have a part coming that should let me make this happen As you can see it doesn’t line up now.

I got ambitious and started her up for the first time. In a few minutes of tuning I had it starting and idling decent after an hour or so of messing with the tune in tunerstudio. It dies immediately when I drop it in gear but I had also gotten lazy and hadn’t actually set the distributor up yet...

I really appreciate trying to figure out and fix something even if it is an appendix of auto parts. I’ve wondered how effective the EVAP system on a 30 plus year old car typically is. Apparently not very

The throttle linkage is going to work fine the distances are identical to before for the transmission linkage and throttle I was even able to retain the lost motion link for the cruise control. With the exception of a few key minor parts I should have ordered a week ago I will probably finish...

Fuel pump is installed and the lines are all routed. Well almost...I need to add a P clamp to a couple places and I still need to replace the lines behind the front fender. All in all this part was pretty easy and I was dreading it the most. No fuel spillage no tank dropping. yes that’s a...

What some terrible carb bolt access. Jeez. anyway can confirm the adapt 0 plate marketed to the 258 jeep people will fit with the removal of the EGR valve. my throttle lever mod to the TBI unit is going to work. It may be uglier than a mud fence but when I decided to make a bracket I...
