    So the bolts probably are just mixed up from a different year big block. Not sure how that happened, but no big deal. Fun fact. The A heads have the largest port size, (without porting) out of all the big block heads. The W30 engine coming your way is a 1972 with factory big valve Ga heads and the factory aluminum W455 intake.

  • @paultester1544
    @paultester1544 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You`re asking for trouble by installing seat rings in the heads. No reason too. Weak valve springs and loose guides wipe out seats not unleaded fuel. If you cut the head for seat rings and hit water, you can throw the head in the scrap pile.

    • @blakesmusclecar

My Dakota digital gauges have been flawless since the install in 17 and my T-56 Magnum has been perfect also for almost 10 years.

    I put my 70 Road Runner together in 2019. I bought a brand new alternator from Bob Mazzolini here in California. It is a high output. I put all new M&H wiring harnesses in. Dash, headlight and engine. I run a pusher fan for hot summer weather. Going down the road it was showing 40 amps charging. -20 with the fan on in idle traffic. I did the Mopar performance constant voltage regulator. No change. Did the amp meter bypass added a voltage gauge. Almost 16 volts charging driving. About 12 volts idle. Turn on the fan and headlights you were lucky to see 11 at idle. I added a block to firewall ground. Larger alternator wire. Larger battery cable no change. I found cause by accident when I did the conversion from manual to power steering. When I pulled the steering column the ignition switch wiring on the column was melted both red and black wires. Replaced switch. Charges at 14.8 cruising. Maintains 12.6+ with the fan and lights at idle.

    Hi, I went to Terminator X TBI with Holley Dual Synch distributor controlling timing ( plus I can convert it to sequential port injection later). It’s pretty high hp SBC Dart 421 with 626 hp. I had a few hiccups on the way, nothing to do with TBI . I had my efi tuned on a Dyno, and I must say it has transformed my engine. I think the self tuning blurb Holley says is for marketing. You are not getting the full potential of your TBI Efi unless you tune it, and I think you also need to control timing as well to get its full potential. I had my car dunked before and after with efi, and there was 1 hp difference. The car runs smoother, I can run at lower rpm, better mileage and importantly for me no gas fumes at all. Love it, not sure if I need to go to full sequential port injection. Cheers from AUS
