Checked my oil pressure using a mechanical gauge
(Preview)
I've been worried about the small block in my Laurentian being a little tired. The reason for this is I get a little bit of blue smoke when first started and some smoke when I get hard on it (hard to tell if it's blue when I do this). The cluster gauge always read really low-almost nothing at idle. So, tonigh...

Quadrajet issue...
(Preview)
As a few of you know, I rebuilt my 67 Quadrajet myself a while back. For the most part, it went well. A couple of weeks ago I complained of the engine falling flat on the top at wot. Well, she runs sweet now, right to the top until you hear the pipes really start to bark. The little 327 runs better now than it p...

Very crisp sounding but relatively quiet at cruise. A really...

Leaking valve cover. Gimmie your wisdom.
(Preview)
Ok, it's a simple problem right? A leaking 67 SB Valve cover. Originally it wept at the back (as they all do), eventually making its way down the block to the road. I removed both covers and very, very carefully cleaned and prepped both the head and cover gasket surfaces. I then put a small bead of high t...

Remove and install?

Problem is, I think the rear main seal is leaking, she's dripping pretty good from the inspection cover and she puffs good on startup telling me the valve seals are wasted. The block is filthy, and it's driving me nuts that alth...
