Sounds like play in the rear end. You should be able to hear it more pronounced at the rear of the car

50+ year old push rods could be a victim of metal fatigue, or excessive clearance due to a collapsed lifter or flattened cam lobe, loose or damaged rocker arm, weak or broken valve springs, any of which could be suspect. Now is the time to bump your engine performance up, switch to closed...

Welcome from NM. Beautiful car!

Sure is looking good!

Welcome from NM. Great looking car.

It was running fine before the exhaust work, could the mufflers be so restricted to cause it to die, seems doubtful, but I suppose anything is possible. I would start it and when it starts to die, goose the throttle a couple times and look to see if it’s getting a good squirt of fuel. If it’s...

The detail work takes a lot of time and effort but it’s something to be proud of when done. Nice job.

What was the problem?

Back in the day, didn’t need logos. You could tell what cars were with a quick glance. At night you could tell by the tail lights or headlight and parking lights. The only things that mattered was stuff like Boss 302, 428 cobra jet, etc. These days, cars look so much alike, you need a logo to...

Sadly, I don’t have anyone worthy of passing my cars, car parts, and tools to. My relatives would just sell it all and have no clue as to its value.

I have American Modern. Agreed value if totaled, liability, uninsured motorists and collision matching my regular insurance values. They requested pictures of the exterior, interior, and engine compartment. It’s insured for pleasure and parade use, not everyday driving. They do require it to be...

There’s lots of variables, gear ratio, tire size, launch rpm, traction, shift points, weight. I think if you have 471 rear wheel hp, and if the car is optimized for drag racing, that’s enough hp to be in the low 11 second range. Assuming the car isn’t set for drag racing, it should run in the 12’s.

Yes, straight up.

$400 for a valve that fails every year. Sounds like a subscription to drain the bank account.

Welcome from NM. Nice car!

The shop manual shows 1-1/8”. It says to run the engine and ac for 10 minutes so the oil returns to the compressor. Then isolate the compressor, make sure the compressor shaft keyway is facing towards the compressor head and when inserting the dip stick make sure it bottoms against the lower...

When he was charging the system, did the compressor kick in? If not, he may have to jump the pressure switch. Make sure the proper amount of oil is in the system and that the system is evacuated and no leaks. I’m not an expert at anything, just enough knowledge to be dangerous, lol. There’s a...

Welcome from NM. Looks like a great deal for $1500. Can’t go wrong with that.

Working on my truck. It has a 400 eng. I don’t know the history of the engine but I am sure it was rebuilt at some point in time. It has an edlebrock performer intake and a edlebrock AVS2 carb. It had a hei distributor but I recently changed it to a Mallory unilite that I had laying around. I...
