Thank you Dan. Nitrophyl was the term I was looking for. Maybe some Permatex blackberry syrup type gasket sealer would help? I was just looking at 1920 images. Some have brass floats. They may be available for the Mopar 1920's.

Is it soaking up gas? Also check for trash on the needle halve

Brass,or phenolic float?

Last time I caught them with a hand held fishing net. Then took them to the hatchet............

He was in the Keys, Monroe county from 2018-2023. Sold his house in Key Largo and built in Volusia county. Went from 1/8th of an acre (big in Key Largo!) to 10. He wasn't with FHP very long. He was in Management in the water company in the Keys. Too much stress! FHP was better. Paid into the...

If you are running 30* ADC? You can't move the slant distributor 30* without loosening the collar on it or jumping a tooth or more on the drive gear.

My brother just retired from FHP. His last few months was on I-95. He was doing accident reports catching up on his paper work and got an SUV flying past him pretty fast. Charger went to 141mph quickly went to 152 kind of slowly. The SUV hammered it and left him in the dust. Never knew the make...

Make sure you didn't put the thermostat in backwards. Grab the upper hose and feel for temperature. Some Holley systems had problems. Not sure which as it isn't in my front sights anytime soon. A friend has a Holley system that needs tweaking on his Buick Grand National. He is doing a...

Stock cam, heavily ported head, stock valves. I may have been running a slant 2bbl Holley at the time. No power steering, not running the dealer installed AC. 70 with the AC on was 16.7.

I did a few Bonzi runs in my day Naples, to Nashville and back in the 198 Duster. 82mph with 3:23's (it came new with those) and the 3 speed manual. 22mpg.

Now I know who the Car Wizard looks like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dan!!! The Slant Wizard!!!

Is that $15 for one? If so how much is 2?

Check with Music City Mopar Club. They might know someone who has slant stuff. My next door neighbor has one in a van that I am going to probably buy. But I think I want the motor etc. Might want to do a cast crank motor for my Duster. Tony Defeo (Whitepunk on Nitro) he might have something...

800 cfm was the smaller TQ. (maybe a Carter fib on the size) A properly tuned air valve on the secondaries will give all the air the engine demands. Some 360's came with an 850cfm. IIRC the Mopar Q-jets were 725 to 750. Triple boosters on the primaries. I pulled a nice one off a 318 van. It did...

Why? What do you know about the fuel business?
