    Phantom rear end rattle under load

    I didn't think to put the angle finder on the pinion angle, but here is the driveshaft angle. Thanks for the replies!

    Phantom rear end rattle under load

    Hey all - I've finally got my frame off build road worthy and I am about 100 miles into driving it. I've been experiencing a phantom rattle under load that comes and goes, usually in first gear only - does not happen on the freeway - that I've narrowed down to the driveline/differential. It...

    302 not starting; has fuel and spark.

    I went down and pulled the dizzy and the #1 spark plug. Used a remote starter to crank the engine until pressure pushed my finger out. From there manually turned crank the remaining way to TDC. Fired RIGHT up. The last dizzy install I pulled the valve cover and watched the rockers... clearly...

    302 not starting; has fuel and spark.

    I have the pink from the 7-pin and the pink from the distributor run to the same orange switched 12v painless accessory wire and the 12v constant run directly to the battery. Could the shared switched circuit really cause this?

    Garage Lift

    I have the BendPak XPR-10AP in my garage and it does the trick, but I wouldn't have chosen it if I had 14' ceilings. I vaguely recall 15' being ideal for Bendpak's tallest setup. It’s a 10k setup but 9k will work just fine. Your height shouldn't be an issue - being able to stand up fully under...

    I have the Powermaster Street Alternator 8-57141, which is internally regulated. 150 amp version The wires are run from the cabin to the engine bay, but are not currently connected. I tried connecting them directly to various battery power as sort of a mock-up to confirm everything worked...
