Have you trimmed that fuel filter? Cut the smaller sections off the ends and run a drill up the bore - they can cause a restriction.

I'm sure there will be someone along who knows better than I do but what manifold does it have? Dual plane is the way to go apparently. Does the engine have a thermostat in it? Gets warm enough? Fuel filter not restricting flow?

If I leave the windage tray in, I will have to dose it up with sealant to get it to seal between the block and sump gasket, which i don't like doing. Had to rebuild a chevy that was full of RTV that someone stuck it together with. Rope seal has only done about 5000 miles. Going to replace the easy ...

Yeah - thanks Dave - got another rope seal on order - has been fine for 6 or 7 years. Don't remember putting pin through it. Think my sump gasket and windage tray may have been causing more leaks than the seal actually - will it make much difference not having the windage tray - only gets used on ...

Rear main seal

Just doing the rear main seal - turns out mine has rope seal - anyone changed to rubber seal? Possible without removing crank? Or a supplier of rope seals in uk? ;)

Insurance agreed values

How do people feel about their agreed insurance values - I had my Charger valued at £25k some years ago but classics seem to be well on the move upward - worth getting it reappraised?

69 Charger

Hi, who has taken on the 69 Charger that Tazet was restoring? One of the original owners of the car from the 90's has contacted me and wants to know more about what has happened to the car. Thanks

Rear crank oil seal 440 and lifter noise.

OK, 2 problems here;
1, 69 Charger with 440 fitted, rear oil seal leaking, can it be changed with engine in easily? Only seems to drip on tickover when warm/hot, has been fine for 6 years.
2, I have a ford (I know, not mopar) 460 motor, silent on tickover but I get one lifter that taps when ...
