That sounds pretty likely. I suppose the best step moving forward would be upgrading to metal timing gears?

Went to start up my car, it idles for a while, then starts stumbling, progressively violently, now won't start again. I can't figure it out, nothing has been wrong this whole time other than the compressor pulley was starting to grind/whine intermittently and that was about it. Air, fuel...

So this happened a few times, and the first time it happened I wasn't sure what to chalk it up to and figured maybe it was a fluke or isolated incident, so I let it go, but now that it's happened a few times, there definitely seems to be an issue somewhere somehow, though I can't fathom what it...

It seems like it's common for sugar ants to be attracted to antifreeze. Though as far as the overheating investigation goes, it seems it's a bad thermostat that would sometimes get stuck off and on, which is why it would run cooler on some days than others. Hopefully replacing the thermostat...

Well ... I don't know if this has happened to you fellas before, but it seems I have ants in the coolant. Like filled with them.

Driving a 71 383 2 barrel, and the other day I was driving it, the temp gauge seemed pretty consistent, hovering around 40%, if we consider C on the left to be 0% and H on the right to be 100%, and the center to be 50%. The temp gauge works, and the readings are consistent, so I trust its...

I'll definitely look into those when I get the chance, I do have a replacement neutral safety switch in hand now. Though I forgot to mention when it does run it idles ridiculously low, usually barely on the edge of stalling out, it runs smooth when the throttle is held at higher RPMs, but it's...

Only way I can get it to consistently crank is by jostling it in neutral, so I assume shift linkage issues. It cranked only once or twice in park, the other 98 times were all in neutral, and only after finagling it around. Now that I have a better idea of how to start it, I can more consistently...

Arrived today, this was it; direct fit. Much appreciated, @polaratherapy

@cbarge I did manage to get a couple faint clicks while in neutral, so that did help a bit, but something else is definitely up. So it's likely either the neutral safety switch on the trans end or the starter relay, I'll update with whatever I find out, feels good to narrow it down at least.

I mentioned I used a remote starter switch. You can also use a piece of metal to contact the two starter wires to create direct continuity. Appreciate the advice, I'll try what you recommended, didn't think about the shift linkage or neutral being possible causes, I'll see what I can find out...

The battery it came with when I bought it is a group 34, and I believe the others might be as well, though I'm pretty sure none of them are 24 or 27. And so far, no smoke from anything surprisingly, just sparks when trying to manually bridge the connections.

I appreciate the lead, I may just get that to see how it fits, thanks for letting me know.

So I know there's only so much one can help with situations where there's so many unknown factors at play, but figured I'd ask anyway to see if anyone had ideas at least. It's a hard problem to describe, but I'll do my best. In simplest terms, the most immediate problem is the fact that it no...

This seems to be the case. Only offers support for 4 barrel diameters with the only aid coming in the form of adapters. Other than that, most of the measurements I come across are 5 1/8. I'm in the DFW area. Mr. Gasket is also the closest I've come to finding something that fits, so that kit...

Very dumb question, but not without trying, I recently just bought a 71 Polara with the 2 barrel 383 and it didn't come with an air cleaner, just the open carb, and we've been looking to put a new air cleaner on, and have tried everywhere we could and none seem to fit, and I've spent the past...
