ok I have a Fram Filter on it now. I'm changing the old tomorrow. Oil Filter recommendations?




Ditch the Fram , try something like NAPA Gold .




which are a rebranded wix....same with the carquest premiums. Purolators are also good filters, and the cheaper carquest, and I think the napa silvers are purolators.

if you want to up the cam a bit, I'd look at a comp XE268 or a lunati voodoo 60302 for your stock converter and tall gears. you'll need to change the valve springs to comp 916's.

as far as the speedo, multiply the indicated by 2.76/3.23, or .85 to get acutal speed. if your speedo was accurate with the 2.76's, an indicated 150=128 mph with the new gears.

there is a roaring in the rear end at coast or whenever you don't press the gas. The guy that build the rear end said it can be adjusted and take it easy til he can get to it. It's a 742 case. What did he do wrong? Just curious

Sounds like a bad pinion bearing.
2" inch exhaust?
Who put that on?
If it was a shop that uses a shoe bender the curves are way less than 2" cross section. Check Jeg, Summit, TTI and others for a decent mandrel bent system. Go for 2.5" unless you want to terrify the ricers, then look at the 3" systems out there.
Having had a 350 hp New Yorker 440 in a 1964 Savoy and a 365 hp in a 1968 GTX I can say there is a world of difference between the two as far as power output goes.

If it is the pinion bearing it will tear up the rearend when it goes. Bad news. Best bet is to put the rear up on jack stands and yry to move the rear end yoke upp and down by hand. If it moves it's bad. You can also turn the driveshaft with the trans in neutral to see if you feel any grinding at the yoke. Then if you're still not sure you can run the car in gear and listen at the axle housing.

Maybe it wasn't put together correctly. It does happen.
