    bad engine vibration

    What he said! Try swapping the 4 and 7 wires, if it smooths out, that is the cams firing order. they make 4/7 firing order swap cams. I'm no ford guy, but heard that too.

    Braking woes.....

    F.Y.I. Once you get all the brake functions working, does your bbc have more than 10 (h/g) inches of vacuum at idle? Lopey cam perhaps. 10 or less, you'll need a vacuum canister to store vacuum for stopping. Typically more than 280 degrees advertised duration, you need the canister, and a 3.5...

    Help with 7.5 gear and posi swap

    A simple rule. If you change 1 gear set to another housing, This is the key. The pinion bearing, shims on that bearing, and crush sleeve that are IN THE axle/HOUSING you are using, need to be used, on the pinion you are installing. Someone else has already done the "setup" on that housing. The...

    Moser 8.5 Axles in my 7.5 housing HELP

    I have set up the A102801 (still got the box) with the 28 spline from S10, or late f body 3 Series carrier. I think? the only diff from A102801, and A102810 is the bolt patterns. Length callout is 28.437. It checks from drum face of flange, to c-clip end.

    BBC polylocks

    Since you've altered the stud length, i got nothing on that. BUT, the only thing i can offer is, the contact pattern on the valve tip should sweep as close to center of the stem as possible. If it moves to close to the stud, rocker tip can run off of stem. MESSY#@!%$ As for the stud, thread...

Such as small lobe circle cams, to clear any 5.7 con. rod setups. What rpm range do you want to run it? I look at cam catalog numbers to find...

    new 350 not performing

    I believe the quick, and best spent, would be a set of Hooker 2466 headers. Look them up. Even with poorly selected heads, the cam is trying to breath. The 600 might be a small app, now. But the headers would bring alot of what you have together. Stock manifolds choke the stuff you've built. For...
