I put 17x8, 30mm offset Bullitt wheels on my '64 Barracuda. Big bolt disc brake swap (factory 10.97 discs), and when I bought new lower ball joints from Rock Auto they sent me 2 different styles. I already had 1/8" spacers and slightly longer studs, but one of the steering arms still hit. It's...

The wife and I spent March in New Zealand, and the turn signal/wiper stalks were reversed in the rental car. Getting them confused for the first week was humorous. Next 3, not so much

Off to work for a bit, but I'll try those combos when I'm home again and report back. Thanks guys.

So I swapped out the original 11-turn .035 spring for the .022, and gave it a whirl. Still 18°, but idling in park at 800 now. When warm she drops to 650 in gear... I'll visit that soon. The carb, at the moment, is a box-stock 1406. I'm using a dial-back gun with a tach display. Anyway, the...

Mattax- Wow, thanks for all that. I expect to do a few spring changes, bit by bit, unless I get lucky right outta the gate. I'll plot the curves (of course, mine will be on graph paper, in pencil) and compare to the ones you put up. But... this may all be for naught, as I'm not very...

I think I have a combination of all 3. This is the motor from the post i put up a few months back, asking about how bad my cam choice was. 360, 9.2-1, stock 1.88/1.60 heads, Lunati cam .480, 230@.050, 107 CL, advanced 8 degrees iirc.

Thanks man, I'll give that a shot. I expect a few in/outs, but the fewer the better. One nice thing about this distributor, no clip under the felt. Phillips head screw.

The lighter spring(s) should bring the beginning of advance down from 1600, right? This is the selection of factory springs I've dug out so far...

Hey Rob- I edited my post, as I just went and measured the spring pin distances. They'll start off stretched about .050" versus the stock units. Do you used the springs with the long eyes? I've got a few, at least 2 different wire gauges.

Hey all- I bought Ehrenberg's distributor/ecu kit a while back, and I'm working on getting it set up. 18 deg initial @ 700, no advance until 1600; 22 @ 1950, 26 @ 2350, and only 30 deg by 2950 (still climbing slowly, but I stopped there). I'd like to end up at 34 total between 2500/3k, at...

Buddy of mine dropped off a spare carb this afternoon, and of course it's a 1407. Maybe that's why it's a spare?

I have a 1406 on the shelf (probably needs a kit), maybe I'll go through that and see how that does for the time being. I'm in the middle of reading threads on here about it right now... The car came with a 700 dp, which may end up back on there eventually. I'm just more familiar with AFBs is all.

My thought about returning to the sump, although the simplest way, would be the back pressure on the return line, having to push up through the fuel in the tank. Installing a bulkhead fitting up high on the tank (while still in the car) is obviously a no-go. That's why I was considering the...

Sorry, scrolled right over that. Just the ones in the boosters, or into the body as well?

I was planning on running a return-type regulator. There's a cheap Holley dead-head unit on there now, I just need to decide which one to buy, and where to plumb the line into the tank. I welded a sump to the stock tank, so there's an extra port on that... or I could pull the sending unit (which...
