    Crank no start

    Factory Service Manual has the diagrams. Trace or copy the circuits of interest. If you mean the horn contact in the steering wheel, IIRC there is a feed from the horn relay. It goes to the steering column connector and then to the horn switch. When the switch is pushed, the wire is grounded...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    I'm not a hot weather person and have to say bonus for cool evenings is that I can continue cooking roasts and making soup. A. Yum B. Leftovers mean no prep dinners for a few days.

    I should have asked in your thread. Are the rims all the same width and offset? I ask because I've found used slots sets can actually be two pairs, with slightly wider and deeper setback for the rear.

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Mine was often interested in treats at the local pet store, but I quickly learned they were only interesting when at the pet store. My take was that it was more about interacting with the people than the treats. Watching her sniff the shelves and baskets and not steal was a clue that the...

    Sure is. Used to be cheap to buy the jet selection kit, no more. Looks like a better box than I got (from mopar performance?) Those came in two clear boxes but the plastic doesn't like something in the gasoline.

    Lean idle. Rich cruise.

    it's possible to shorten the slot itselfs Note that secondary side are usually higher up but not always. This guy went on a journey from greenhorn to a carby smarty. :) https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/racingfuelsystems/transfer-slot-lengths-t1285.html#p11866...

    Is the rubber injected into the mold under pressure or more like casting ?

    Should I be feeling more power?

    Lets start at the top and work back. Post some photos of the engine and engine bay. We'll follow the fuel line back from the carburetor to the - well we'll see. We'll see other things too with the engine bay pictures. Like how the throttle to tranmission linkage was set up. Changes to...

    Should I be feeling more power?

    We need to see how it was setup. A carburetor doesn't care how the fuel is supplied. it can be supplied by gravity for all it cares. I don't beleive a thing the salesman has texted. Not that he's a liar. He just doesn't know. Say you remove the electric pump and then discover the mechanical...

    Should I be feeling more power?

    Since it runs, I would not jump on making any changes right away. Here's why. I tell you to go put a Performer RPM on and your mechanic buys a Performer at retail price, charges his add on, and then his time to install it. Now you've spent a bunch of money and its not even the intake that some...

    The "economizer" system accomplishes almost the same thing as a t-slot restrictor, but is not a transistion slot restrictor. It is arguably (and I think practically too) a more effective system because of how it works.

    Its big because that is just meant to be a passageway, not a restriction. The outer passage goes to the idle port and is restricted by the needle valves (idle mix screws). The inner passage goes to the transfer slot and is restricted by the slot width, depth, and amount exposed to manifold...

    That the old 284/284 duration cam for a RB block. But you have a 340? There are several versions of the distributor used by MP. Timing light, timing tape and tach will be needed to find out what timing curve looks like. Search here for a how to do this. There's various Holley carbs with...
