For street engines, ( racing units have a whole different set of needs), run Mobil 1 10w30 in all my good vehicles. It has 900 ppm zinc and never had a problem, including break-in of multiple hydraulic tappet cams with my super secret lithium break-in grease. Infact the engines are the cleanest...

Found the Dyno build I referred to earlier at for A bodies only. I bookmarked it on pg 2 so go back an hit pg1 Dyno testing a stock(?) 1972 440

earlyLean burns are going to screw you sooner or later, and always in traffic. I know, been there. Put together an electronic ignition and scrap that thing before it gets you in trouble.

MadElectrical.com - Electrical Tech Since you're dealing with spaghetti anyway might as well see how to make it safe and reliable.

Yeah I wished I'd have taken them back when first saw it on the balancer. I didn't know any better, so I'd suggest checking them by eye as they have the on the machine. Just rotate by hand and you'll see a definite bump in the tread.

Check rockauto? Sometimes belt dressing will help give the belt the traction it needs not to slip. Not the permanent repair but until you get it fixed it'll keep from driving you nuts.

Watch what size 255's you get. I ran 255-60-15's on all four corners of my road runner. Both Good Year Eagle GT II and bf goodrich.8 tires and all of them were out of round. Like the internal belts were overlapped. I thought I was nuts. Swapped to 17s and 255-50-17s smooth as silk.

I like your original question...how the hell did a thrust spacer get into the axle tube? That shouldn't be able to just stick to the end of the axle,should it? Now that I see this thread lol... I can see the advantage of roller bearings taking less power to roll and can handle the side loads...

Supposedly the newer rebuild kits for any carb had the proper material to deal with crapinol fuel....guess not. I've found bumping the Jetting @15% works well. 2-3 sizes. Have to do a little figuring on the metering rod steps. I'm doing the same adjustment s with a couple street demon carb. They...

Make sure you get a good set of bearings. Chrysler had great quality parts in the day. If they are good I'd just repack them with a good grease like lucas red and tacky and run them.

I just read an older article, and be damned if I can remember where, about a guy using a low comp 440 to demonstrate how to use a Dyno to make changes and see results. This was all going on at a fairground. Anyway, the first change was from Logs to hipo's. No change in the output of the engine...

Thank you all. I had been lurking here for few months, mostly on the for sale board. I love my 71 runner and my SST ram, but nothing has cush for the tush like a C body. Looking to replace the 72 NYKR, I missed out on a survivor 72 imperial 2 Dr with the same equipment minus the Funroof. 50k...

As for the flow pattern..lol Chrysler had some "unique" ideas with wiring. Normally the amp meter just reads only the current going to or being drawn from the battery. The alternator output comes into the system and supplies power from a tie point under the dash. Usually a clump of 4-6 black...
