ive given thought to exactly what you asked about t ram usage. i havent found enough info on modifying these carbs yet. i have an olmost new 6709 it runs a little lean on a 440 with .520 lift cam. dont really want to start drilling holes. this carb runs great on stock motors. your thread sure...

holley labled those carbs as an emmission performance carb. they are on a 4150 square bore bolt pattern but are more like a 4165 spread bore carb. they have a 1 9/16 primary throttle blade and a 1 3/4 secondary. they also have the spread bore reverse idle system with different fuel bowls...

built a low deck 470 motor for my dart. first go around used 516 big valve heads ported by me. ran 6.40s with no issues. first freshen up scored a set of victor heads cnc by hughes. put a small roler in it .660 lift . first pass 6.24 was very happy. started upping shift points and kept going...

a bit different combo, my 470 low deck is 3.9 stro9ke 4.375 bore 6.7 long eagle bbc rod 1.32 ch icon dome. ends up .010 down, just right for a small cut to zero deck. with those dome pistons and 74cc victors you have 15 to one comp, nice alcohol motor.

sure acts like a cracked cylinder, wont know till I have it apart. this block has 2 sleeves already. its 6 years old.

car has been running great even in heat. 2 weeks ago car slowed .05 lost 3 mph. got to looking and have water in oil. did a pressure test on cooling system, held 17 lbs for 2 hours, wth. committed to pulling eng. back car out of trailer and pulled up to garage door to open lower rad hose to...

never said a ladder bar was perfect, just that it works really well until you start getting fast, and that is a very relative thing. at elevated power levels, a ladder makes the hit so violent that it starts causing problems. at that point a 4 link is the way to go.

all valid points. personally, i 4 linked my car ( 68 dart) many years ago. all things considered i would say ladder bar. as a very general condition until you are going low nines or high 8,s or faster a ladder bar is a simple and very reliable/ repeatable rear suspension. i spent many years...

several years back changed to uppers like you have and made my own front rod end type strut bars. could not believe the difference in how easy the front suspension moved. previously t bar adjustments didn,t seem to make much difference, after lossening up the front end now adjustments made a...

upper control arms will help. again though the poly front strut bushings and poly upper control arm bushings tighened the front so much even with no torsion bar in it took a floor jack to move the front suspension. i think your problem still is in the rear. you are going fast enough to need to...

for 6.80,s you should be low 1.42/3 sixtys. when my 75 duster was running those numbers with s/s rear springs i found the more i clamped the front and rear segments then tightened up the comp 3 way shocks to full tight , the faster i went . ended up with 3 clamps on the front and 2 clamps one...

I used Holley carbs but i fabbed a bracket and linkage to connect the driver side carb right side primary throttle shaft to the pass side carb throttle shaft . It uncluttered the left side of the driver side carb that fabbing a bracket for the throttle cable was way easier. I don,t think i ever...
