Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

I'm sure you posted pics of what was done to the carb can u post them again so I can see and do you see any use in using a proform main body with dial a jet for ease of tuning? Also I saw you were saying you needed to rebuild your motor I have a buddy here in oregon that has a running slant out his 74 dart that he's selling the motor and tranny together for $300 the tranny is a 904 he drove the cat home on a 4 hour drive and pulled it out we live about an hour from the California border I thought about buying it to use it as a mock up for turbo headers I have a mig welder but need a tig if I'm gonna try to make headers. I would like to borrow one and make a jig so I can make a few of them since nobody makes anything possibly even mock one up with flex pipe so I can copy bends. I'll just buy a kit of random bends at first then use my tubing bender or find an exhaust pipe bender to make them and keep power steering. I will leave them raw or use dei wrap ceramic coating is great but I don't have access to know anyone that can make me a deal. Also I have an h1c off a 93 intercooled 5.9 cummins with a 20cm exhaust housing is that too much turbo for the slant or will it work I already have a 4" downpipe also

H1c is a good turbo for a slant actually. I believe Rusty Jr. is using one on his. I have a slant for use, that my shop landlord is giving me for $200 but I kind of want to rebuild my late 60s block that it has already. Right now the car has been parked for about a week while I think of what I want to do.

I have thought about using the dial-a-jet system, and here's my thought on it - I wanted to use them initially but couldn't fathom the $60 price tag for a different metering block.

With a AFR guage I have now installed the perfect jet setup for my car, which is 2 #72 jets, so buying one now would be pointless for me.



That's the 3/8" tube coming through the power valve cavity. You can also see the vacuum port at the bottom closed up with JB weld.



Reversed power valve with a stainless metal wire setup holding the spring. The spring keeps it closed, boost pushes it open.
