At macsleth's suggestion, I jacked up the car off rear suspension, and the drive shaft is still too long.. So I tried the yoke and shaft into the 350 turbo, still sitting on floor. Amazing! the yoke slides ALL the way in to the trans, leaving room for driveshaft install.. BUT the yoke and shaft on...

If a 350 turbo, and a Muncie 4 speed, are the same length, would it not be reasonable, to think the driveshaft out of either application ,would be the same. I took out the driveshaft out (with the car sitting on its suspension) last winter .. Today the driveshaft wont go back in? Did it stretch over the...

Hi guys, I have been struggling with my original QJet 4 barrel carb for some time and was recently told by a good carb guy that it was junk and basically "un-rebuildable". I don't know alot about these and I trust his opinion. I would like to replace it with another numbers-matching rebuilt o...

Now that the engine in my Laurentian is apart awaiting a cam, I decided to check out the numbers. Sure enough, the 350 is the original motor (oooh, a numbers matching Laurentian!). One interesting thing I noticed is the water pump date code (Jan.31 69) is later than the selling date of my car (Sept. 13 6...

We can file this under "things that never go as planned" I've been working on my intake swap from 2bbl to 4bbl for about a week now in my spare time.

Hi guys and gals, I have always struggled with cooling my 396 when cruising around town. It's fine on the highway, constantly 185 degrees. I put a flex fan on to pull and that helped but now I'm thinking about putting an electric push fan on the front, with just a toggle switch to turn it on when cruising. W...

Installed the Mallory billet distributor that I picked up years ago in USA for $99. Looks good, but touches the 14" breather. It's huge! Probably will need an offset Moroso air cleaner. In hindsight, should have waited and bought somthing a little more compact. Still might. Like a MSD setup....
