    2.76 vs 2.94 gearing

    Now this is my opinion. 3.21/3.23 are what I consider great balance gears, decent off the line with some highway ability. 2.76/2.93 are great freeway gears, but it will leave off some pep off the line, and as you've stated here would be good since you're just cruisin' and do a lot of freeway...

    360 vs 383

    Yup! I always tell my adult sons this: Stock means diddly squat, it's what you build not buy. Awhile back I saw a yellow 1975 Pontiac Trans Am for sale with a 455 "HO". in the late 90's, my brother almost bought it, I like Pontiacs but stuck to Mopars. Factory rated at a whopping 200 HP and 330...

    360 vs 383

    Well... 360's didn't come until the 1974 model Dusters. Unless someone stuck a stock 360 in a 1973 base duster. Yes, technically a lot 74's were built in late 73 (like mine was built in Oct. 73) but were marked as 74' model years. 73's were the last year of the 340's in the A-bodies. Yup! I...

    Cuts out going up hill.

    This could likely be due to your carb floats out of adjustment, or stuck float valves. - Since you mentioned the filter being full of fuel when it stumbles right? - I would try to check those out first.

    1971 demon tire sizes for 15” wheels

    255/70R15? that's like 29 inch diameter a bit too big. 28 inches is what I would consider max. 215/70R15 in almost 27 inches. You do not want to exceed 26 inches diameter in the front. So the sizes I've used before on 15 inch rims that worked with good effect are: 255/60R15 in the rear (27 inch...

    1973 Dart Swinger Pro Touring Build

    This is nice. I like it! One of the cleaner looking restomod builds. Kind of what I'm doing to my Duster. Following!

    Justin Figgatt...Actual Investigation is Underway by Police...Need Victims Info

    @jjwilliams12345 So as @4spdragtop mentioned, it looks like he used your property as a dumping ground. Also, hopefully he's not using the property to "hide" questionable items I would check to make sure.

    Sealed Beam Headlights

    GE Nighthawks H6024 are the ones that were recommended and that I used in the past with pretty good results. - Silverstars are junk - Wagners are "ok" I'm now using LED conversion kits with decent results. There are these new "Nighthawk Sport" from GE that look promising as well, but I...

    New Edelbrock intake quality issues

    Would it work on Edel. aluminum magnum heads? I'll be honest as I have not done any research on it yet. I was saving up for an Eddy Air-gap manifold for the magnum. I guess I'll have to look into it.

    New Edelbrock intake quality issues

    Yeah, I'm half tempted to take one of my old 15 yr old LA Weaind or Edelbrock intakes and see if I can modify them to fit the Magnum blocks for my stroker. Probably not very cost effective... :rolleyes:
