    Offy dual BBS setup

    I remember those, and I've seen a few on ebay over the years. How many did you sell?

    Project Black Betty

    Also on the diff, I was looking at some numbers (cant remember where) and an 8.8 is about 1" longer from axle center to flange than a 7.25 rear. So I was thinking that you could use the circle track leaf springs, which have a 1/2-inch longer front section, and probably use the same driveshaft.

    Like that diff, I think I'm going to do the same thing.

    Offy dual BBS setup

    Wow blast from the past. I actually sold that intake without running it. I gave up because there are NO tuning parts for the BBS carbs available. I set it up as best I could but had no way to tune it if it didn't work. If you are going to do one of these, use new 2bbl webers or a pair of...

    Eddy 1406 pissing me off (LOL)

    The motor in my truck (318) has a 1406 and blocked crossover and it is a cold-blooded SOB. Takes a good 6 miles of driving to stop the bogging and backfiring on quick throttle openings. Runs great the rest of the time, including hot starts. But it does have a rather short fuel line since the...

    Slant engine builder in SW PA.

    There's not much special about assembling a slant six.... Maybe in the porting and cam choice, but not in the machine machine work or assembly.

    Thanks guys! Slants are an acquired taste. Most of the time I feel like Don Quixote flailing at windmills but it's lots of fun. You can make more power for cheaper with an LA engine but who really cares how fast you go?

    Cooling for Early A

    Just got one in the mail from Randy Pettey in Michigan. Custom made, fits inside the original radiator opening with an offset neck to get more fan space.

    I need a picture of the fuel sender wiring in the trunk

    Sorry I thought the title of the forum was "early A-body discussions". It's a 64 Valiant sedan but I assume it's the same from '63-'66 sedans and coupes Dart and Valiant. Barracuda is unlikely to be the same.

    I need a picture of the fuel sender wiring in the trunk

    I can't remember which body plug the fuel sender wire goes through on its way to the tank. And where/how the wire is clipped to the body under there. Does anyone have a trunk picture?
