  1. How y'all doing gentleman. Back again in search of knowledge. Hopefully someone out there has the same set up or can just skool me up... on my 51 coronet I transplanted a mild 318 married to a 518OD, with posi 3.73s. Intake manifold is a holley street dominator with a holley DP 650cfm... 1st question, what should timing be at on the block ? (currently at 10°btc) 

    2nd: Carb tuning? Set at 850rpm at 10inches of vacuum.. 

    3: any recommendations for this type of set up... as far as timing degrees,  and carb tuning 

  2. Before I get "baptized" with all sorts of bad comments..  i did check the hamb, and im into the custom car scene,  nothin wrong with stock but its not me..... just looking to see if theres anyone HERE that has done a full chopped custom mopar??? Frenched light? Chopped rooftop, air bagged, custom grilles, etc etc....Pictures greatly appreciated... thanks in advance for the pictures..

    my post was more a correction to the other persons misconception of principle...you did state however that the pulley was vibrating....as you have this in your possession, you will need to verify the integrity of the balancer not only physically but also by doing a mechanical TDC using the access hole at #6 and compare this to the actual TDC indicated by your pointer to the outer rings timing marks...DO NOT do a quick TDC buy using a dowel or other indicating device...you need to use a degree wheel and piston stop when checking external indicators...TDC is just way to flat of a movement at TDC or BDC to find the absolute by eyeball...

    Yes, i went back to the "tech tips" and starting reading, i found one of your responses, stating ☝? just that... using the access hole by #6. Im waiting for summit delivery on a degree wheel(hope you approve of it) their tech support said it would work....

    if the rubber is loose the outer portion with the timing marks can slip on the hub...it will not/cannot change the timing of the cam in any manner as the hub is keyed to the crank...if the outer portion slips it will only indicate an error that IS NOT a real error...

    Hey boss,  so my dampener is NOT a one piece with a pulley/shieve attached to it. It actually has 2 pieces.  The dampener is one and the belt pulley is the other... pulley is in between block and dampener... is that how some D42 body style came? Will that cause any harm?

    The rubber housing has dried out and now the unit is loose. You can contact a company know as the dampener doctor and your unit and be rebuilt or you could look for one on ebay.  The dodge used part number 1319425 for 1951-52 and this is the vibration dampener and pully as one complete unit.

    How does it relate to the timing? How it throwing it off? How is it linked to the distributor? I want to understand how it works

    what is the conditionof the vibration dampener the rubber hosuing could be loose and causing the advance does the unit wobble or canyou see anything when it is running.  Just a thought.

    Holy ****!!! Its vibrating !! How does that effect the timing exactly?!?! Im in loss of thoughts/words.... WHY? Or how???... i dont know or have a clue about how its related.. 

  7. Everything is new.. just finished assembling the motor.. carbs are carters bb, new hei.  Carbs fine.. its timing.. i just dialed it to 0*, turned off the engine to lock the distributor.  Turned back on, and it starts with a "nice" iddle than it just goes up to 15 to 20* btc again... 

  8. Has anyone ever ran into any issues with their HEI distributor? I just walked into an issue on my motor.  I bumped the #1 cylinder to tdc, locked distributor, wired up the firing order, & turned it on..... motor went into high idle. 900rmp....Checked the timing, using my timing gun, it was at 15* btc.. 3 times i turned it off and adjusted the timing again.  3 times it went to 15* btc.. new motor, chain is not loose. I havent even broke it in correctly yet because of this issue... is my hei distributor faulty? Thanks in advance for the advice and help.

    What is a fluid drie transmission? Fluid drive is a fluid coupling not a transmission. Yes a vehicle equipped with fluid drive has a longer bell housing and the rear engine mounts are not in the same position as a non fluid drive vehicle. Your best bet may be to find a non fluid drive rear cross member and install it along with the original floating power front engine mount. 

    Thank you for the idea.  I didnt think of that... gonna give that idea a shot. Much appreciated boss 

  10. Doesnt sound like many of yall have overhauled a fluid drive transmission before. Yall are still thinking regular 3 speed...WHICH IS easier and everything does match up with the adapter plate and the whole nine yards... thats not the case with the fluid drive.  Its all different under the car. Xmembers are in different locations at different offsets. Etc etc

  11. Im using a 49 Plymouth bellhousing,  not much difference. Than any other mopar housing, yes its still cast iron. I wouldn't call it shame.. the fluid drive Xmember is riveted in under the master cylinder bracket which is welded on the frame. Whole different can of worm i didnt want to deal with.. plus, The bellhousing mounts are NOT even close to the 49 Plymouth bellhousing (3 speed manual). Mounting holes. Yes i have seen the bushin mounts, i replaced them on the fluid drive transmission.... its very tight space to fab out a "metal floor frame". Looking to have the car ready for mooneyes in December.  

  12. Its too late for original Xmember mount.. i chopped it off from the middle to allow the 883 to drop into place.. i was thinking of something like this flathead here. Thought somone here might of been through what im going through.
