Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Re: Lucas Classic Vehicle Oil:

I don't see any issue using it but I question the additive unless you are trying to increase oil pressure on a thinner oil but not wanting to change it yet.
I have used Lucas,Valvoline VR1, and Castrol formulated for older engines. No problem with any.

Edelbrock 750 or 800 AFB style. They have the AVS now also and many like that as well.

These shows are never techy enough for us because we are the biggest (muscle car) tech nerds out there.

'Jurassic Park' was not made for genetic scientists.  Gotta go for mainstream appeal and make that money.

Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Changing out the OG Carter?

Last post by CaptMarvel - Yesterday at 04:06:50 PM

Hi All, I haven't been on here in a million years. Id like to change out the orig Carter carb (4640S) on my 68' R/T and get it road worthy again after 20 yrs, mostly just so I can move it around easier and take in for stuff when needed....What would be a good choice to keep it about the same CFM/size so the stock hood can still fit etc?...Id like to be able to adjust the new carb easily & have at least what I have now with the stock 440 Magnum. It's a console 727 auto car. Last time I did any mech work was probably early 1980's, so Im very shade tree, but Id love to do this..you get the idea..Thanks for any thoughts on this.

The pump turned out fantastic! Such an overlooked part that'll make such a difference to the people that do notice!

Very cool. Watched the videos, then I google earthed your trip, looked at the area you drove through and thought "This guy is fuckin nuts"  
Bummed that I won't get a chance to catch up with you at Carlisle next year.
