That sucks. What was the reason for the stem seal boots to have lifted?

So, you have tore it down by now huh? What was the issue?

https://www.forebodiesonly.com/forum/threads/oem-1971-383-throttle-cable-kickdown-bracket.33625/ Here is a 71 for sale.

As I recall, your first shift should be at 35 and second shift at 50 mph.

You might be able to get the carb adaptor from Oreilly's. They had it last time I needed it. Most box stores with any carb parts will usually have it in stock.

So, exact same rods with exception of having been "magnaglo" inspected. Magnaglo is the same as magnaflux? It appears to be the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_particle_inspection

Magnafluxed, Double shot peened and mildly polished rods with high strength bolts and nuts. Using better forging material known as 8640. Staying the same weight as standard rods. Part number P3690649. According to the D.C. engines book. That appears to be the difference between the rods...

I have a 69 warranty 440/4 that came with 6bbl rods. @saforwardlook Just curious, you said restored, The shaker is yellow, the rear bumper is a painted bumper and the interior door panels are for a gran coupe. Was your car originally a BP car and just had a few liberties taken? Probably...

@Lil_Hoss How about posting some pictures of your ride and an explanation? We obviously are chomping at the bit here.

How does a fork lift damage a gas tank? No one lifts a car from the rear. Were they pushing the car around with a fork lift? Are we ever gonna get any pictures here? Would love to see the car and the piston hanging out of the motor. @Lil_Hoss ?? Still around?

10/40 is being worked out of the system. I bought a bunch at oreily's on sale as they are not stocking that viscosity any longer, as I was told. 10/30 is becoming more difficult to find. Can anyone answer if 5w30 works as well in our old cars?

If I don't stabil my gas at the beginning of winter, the sun cooks the gas to varnish. Never a problem before ethanol. I've used both red and blue stabil. Both seem to work fine. Ethanol sucks. It should be removed from gasoline. I'm not even sure what they are claiming it does any...

Perhaps, it is time. Time for stellantis to go under.

A dated dana for an e body will run you 2500 for a unit that needs rebuilt. That price is what I paid about 2 years ago.

Just a little info on the dana's.

There is indeed a very blank spot in the acceleration. I just had one of the few mechanics that rebuild carb's around here rebuild it. As I recall from doing edelbrock rebuilds in the past the rebuild kit always comes with a new accelerator pump. I suppose it could be a failed new part.

Makes sense. The bog or hesitation has gone away significantly with the timing adjusted and the vacuum switched. However the bog is still there. I did not get a chance to adjust it by ear. I will do that next. Then I will do the accelerator pump check. The acclerator pump basically causes...

What am I looking for with the accelerator pump?

Will do! I hope I get next Sunday off to do so.
