Turbo 400 Torque Converter Bolts Fell Out
(Preview)
The way this sounded it may have been a lot worse gone wrong. That bolt screeched and clanged until it made its way out, probably, by the gap between the starter and the cover. This would be the second one that has fallen out. Who knows when the first one went. Unfortunately, now the converter has now shif...

Self-tapping fuel inlet fitting for a Quadrajet
(Preview)
My rochester inlet fitting was only catching a thread or two and backing out. I had used a self tapper 40 years ago but it's hard to remember the details It took me a long time to find this for sale anywhere. (looks like New, very old, stock) The only other option to save this carb was a Helicoil. I researche...

Transistor ignition

Started putting the wiring harness back in my Ventura and having troubles with the TI harness. Does anyone have good wiring diagrams for a US Pontiac. The diagram in the manual does not match all my wire colours and the TI diagram is really hard to make out. Hoping to fire the 421 when I get back from Flori...

Sbc pulleys for short water pump
(Preview)
Does anyone know? My best guess for more power to the back tires is to use the pulleys from a 67 Camaro 302? Anyone here played the pulley game? Is there a site that gives specs for all the different pulleys used over the years?

Hey quick question, Difference between big block and small block power steering pump
(Preview)
Looks like when my repaired arm let the AC pump fall, it damaged the power steering pump reservoir. I have the other 427 pump and my spare 350 pump. To buy a replacement they list small block and big blocks separate. Other than the brackets, I can't tell the difference. What is the difference? Thanks in a...

My apologies to Kevin for totally derailing his disc brake thread and turning it into a discussion on big block exhaust manifolds. I'll move that part of the discussion in that thread to this thread.

Could these plugs be original 1969 spark plugs ?
(Preview)
I'm going to replace these plugs but I am not going to throw these plugs away. I showed the old plugs to an engine builder today he was amazed by the quality of the construction of the old plug. They weigh a lot more than the NKGs They are gapped a tight .35 What do you think ?

Oil in exhaust manifold bolt holes 427
(Preview)
First of all, why did I buy a big block ? 350s are so easy to work on with all that space under the hood. I am trying to eliminate the exhaust manifold leak on the front right of this 427. My engine/tranny/carb guy gave me a really nice set of exhaust gaskets to install. 1, Is it true that the bolts go into the oi...

What rear end ratio do I have?
(Preview)
The HP post previous got me looking at the specs, and surprised I see that my 69 Parisienne 350/250 with the powerglide should have a 3.08. I coud swear that it was a 2.73 as the car cruises along the highway no issue at 80 mph. No tach, but she feels like she's not working too hard at that speed.

11" clutch for big block?
(Preview)
Man, in the past it was easy. Rock Auto or my local parts store. I would order a Luk or a Sachs clutch and no worries. Now neither one of them list a stock replacement clutch for a 66 396/427. Any of you guys buy one lately? If so, what did you buy?

Powerglides. Hey, they ain't so bad after all.
(Preview)
So in the new 69 resides a 35/250 with a Powerglide. Works and shifts as intended behind the 350. Just does it's job. I never thought I'd like a 2 speed, had mental designs on a 3 speed and maybe a OD, but I have to say it's a fine transmission for a cruiser with a 2.93. Exceeds what I would have thought, smoot...

Exhaust manifold heat riser valve explosion!
(Preview)
So yesterday I pulled a pair of manifolds off an old seized 283. Naturally the heat riser valve is seized as they always seem to be. I thought I'd heat it to see if I could get the shaft to move. I'm glad I had glasses plus my tinted goggles on over them. As I heated it, suddenly it sounded like a gunshot and wha...
