"Won't crank" is TOTALLY different from "Cranks but won't start".

That said however ... in lieu of the traditional rope seal used on the Olds SB BB a Ford 460 rear main lip seal will inter-change with the Olds BB rear main as a alternative to the rope and with good results. To date I know of no such alternative for the Olds SB I thought the small block could use ...

ok guys...i've checked the TDC of the first cylinder...the mark on the damper was around 6° before....so since the shop manual says 5°-7° i guess its ok. You have #1 piston at TDC but the mark on the damper aligns with 6* mark of the timing pointer??? The damper has slipped and is now ruined. You h...

I have NEVER seen a fuel-injection system that will out-do a properly tuned carburetor for throttle response. Fuel injection and drive-by-wire is typically so terrible at throttle response it's unbelievable. Fuel economy--not so much. Most fuel injection systems struggle to achieve stoich--14.7-to-1...

Production-line rebuilt carbs are worse than a worn-out original carb. They're a disaster you special-order. You need four things to keep an engine running: 1. A BURNABLE FUEL/AIR MIXTURE 2. COMPRESSION 3. SPARK ACROSS THE PLUG GAP, AT THE RIGHT TIME 4. A FREE-FLOWING EXHAUST You have probably prove...

1. I thought the shafts with the dampers were '66 right side only. Eliminated in '67 or maybe '68? Am I wrong?

2. I don't know of ANY place to buy boots from, of any style. Good thing I have a batch of axles...

I am absolutely certain that the upper ball joint had a different taper from drum to single-piston disc steering knuckle. Installing mis-matched parts will either be difficult and dangerous due to not enough thread poking through the knuckle, OR damned dangerous due to increased stress on the ball j...

Can an Eldorado 67 variable rate box be used on the 66 Toro? I would expect so. There is an old thread about upgrading the steering box by switching the torsion bar in the box o get more return action and feel, has anyone else done this? Fredrik A larger torsion bar will give you more road feel and...

Newer Dexron isn't suitable. Alrighty, thanks! I think I actually saw some dex II at o'Reilys yhe other day. Curiousity begs me to ask, why not though :P New ATF is much "thinner" than the older stuff; and it's got friction modifiers suitable for use with the clutch and bands of transmiss...
