Kind of long and rambling, but it may be of small value to someone who might have a Edelbrock 1405/1406 Carb, Did some tuning today on my Edelbrock 1405 (with an electric choke added). I've had some drivability issues, and the 350 really didn't feel like it was making anywhere near the power it should,...

Some thoughts on setting the distributor curve on a 350 SBC. Bear with me, this is how I learn...by explaining what I don't know in public! In the quest for a better running engine, I've spent some time with my Edelbrock 1405 600 CFM carb. With some jetting, rod and spring changes, I feel I'm getting clo...

Discovered today that a slight oil leak at my fuel pump has become bad. No driving it bad! Kind of hard to determine where exactly it's coming from, can't see into the rear corner. But I suspect the pump body may have a small crack in it, in the lever cavity, oil side. When I broke my motor mount way back, I no...

Did some full on high speed brake testing today.. The dash OIL light came on... once. Did not repeat it. It's never done that before. Ever. Oil level is good. Should I worry, and will it matter much at idle? Wonder if that idiot light trying to tell me something, lol!

Has anyone had success with spark plug wires for their headers. I bought the short plugs that Performance Improvents has and they sold me a "sock" to go over the boot at the cylinder head. Was supposed to be the trick set up as the longer spark problems were burning up the boots. I haven't g...

Ok, so since putting the 327 in my car, it's run hot. So to fix the problem I changed to stock 4 blade fan to a six blade flex fan and put in a dual core aluminum rad..still ran hot. So, installed a pusher fan and temp sensor..worked for a bit, but now still runs hot.. Talked to JC tonight and he's having the sa...

Hi ....what is the best replacement piston ring set for a 1966 389 out of a Benneville? The motor only has 78k miles on it but hasn't been run in years ....it smokes out of the rocker cover vent a bit so i'm guessing the rings are stuck in one of the pots. I'm going to pull the motor apart and completely clean...
