    Just bought a 69 Sport Fury Convertible

    I'm not aware of anyone reproducing the turn signal switches for the tilt columns - i think you're stuck paying NOS prices. Bummer. Nice Fuselage BTW. I call dibs if you want to sell. :)

    Carb and manifold swap - that question again

    ...carb with throttle response and drivability IF tuned properly to your motor. If you're going thru the trouble to drop a new intake on it you might as well take a bit more and drop one of those howards rattler cams in to wake the car up! Then you will see the most from the intake/carb swap.

    Gertrude Gets Total Front Leg Surgery!

    ...just a little less ease than I cared for, due to the ferrules on these Moog extra-eccentric bushings. Be that as 'twas, I got it in, with the cams on their marks. I expect there will be a bit more positive camber on the tires when I put it back on the ground, though I pray not too much...

    Cam selection for a 66 383

    ...and up because different lifters. I read here if I go with the matching push rods I'll be ok. Is that 100%? Comp suggests these springs for the cam: COMP Cams Valve Springs 911-16 Stealth list their spring pretty close: Anyone care to help me choose I'm starting to get a bit...

    Machining work 516 heads port work/bigger valves/hardened seats??

    ...write up, I will definitely refer to this page when I'm back home looking at cam cards and comparing by example. I figure as much that the cams are optimized for popular engines, there was a summit cam that had sold well with most of the purchasers using a 383. I figure if I stuck that boom...

    General A727 Potential R&R questions/suggestions.

    A while back I've been perusing the catalogue for a 260/260 cam but it's comp cams. And recently I've seen/heard comp cams had various cam failures. So I might consider Lunatic, voodoo cams.

    Questions on timing chain and oil slinger

    ...timing sets were single-bolt cam sprockets. The 3-bolt came on 440-6bbl and 426HRMI engines, from the factory. Of course, most aftermarket cams can be had either way, usually the HP (more HP than 383/335 or 440/375) modified engines. The extra bolts were probably there to better handle...

    Low Compression 440 Build Questions

    ...usually where the "lumpy" sound comes from. BUT the longer overlap will help power over 3000rpms, as longer durations do to. By 1972, the OEM cams had a bit more duration and more overlap, with the overlap being an emissions issue as the longer duration was to help better-fill the cylinders...

    Is my new build doomed because I bought a flat tappet?

    ...will wear a bit and polish themselves out that would be ok" but with all the problems I seen I am really scrutinizing everything. I called comp cams and sent some pictures but they had no definitive answer for me. they said if I can catch a nail then be worried or if I'm unsure try to get...

    ...design. They are almost twice as expensive, but I will go with them anyway. Further he told me, that he had too much trouble with flat tappet camshafts in the past few years. Apparently, the quality of flat tappet camshafts nosedived for a while now... Because of that, he does not offer to...

    what is best oil to use on 1978 Chrysler with 400 engine?

    Wondering when someone would mention that oil. I use VR1 10W-30 in all but the Polara which gets 20W-50. The four Fords all have rebuilt engines with under 20,000 miles while the Polara is not rebuilt yet at 77,000 miles. Filters are Motorcraft except the Ambassador which is Wix. Seems no cross...

    Meet Buttercup, a 1972 New Yorker Brougham 2-door Hardtop

    What's stock compression on a '72? The '73 was about 8:1 I think. I had similar plans to bump that up with different pistons had I kept the car. Never researched cams to know what an "RV" type of grind does. Overall better breathing I guess...?

    ...9.0CR, which is in the good range these days. Probably a AVS2 and a 2.25" dual exhaust system would work well? Bad thing is, as to intakes, cams, and pistons . . . not a lot of choices, but something is better than nothing. Might check www.rockauto.com in this respect. Mainly to see what...

    1969 Imperial progress thread

    If I may say. I stay away from the comp roller lifters, I had two bad sets out of the box. I went with the Hughes retro fit rollers, Howards is a good supplier as well. I have not had any problems with Howards so far. The 440 source heads are a good selection and as the name says they have a...

    Cam choice

    On the B Body site, there are a few threads talking about "Mr Sixpack" cams. I used one of his on my 71 Charger 440 back 10 years ago and I could burn 275-60-15 at will. doesn't hurt to ask questions. The ph# is Bob K @ 248-477-7776 days or 248-489-4076 evenings

    How to adjust caster (if indeed you can with stock parts?)

    ...I'll see how well I can set things first, STARTING with the old marks, measuring and testing carefully, then, if necessary, I'll roll the cams out and in. I suspect I need to bring the right toe in a little, as the old tie rod was BENT, and I expect when I crank it in a few 1/16s it will true...
