Dyno'ed My 360..it's a pig..what next?
Yeah, I looked for black smoke after the accelerator pump went down. No smoke,no rap, and no power, hick-ups in the power delivery, no strain on the straps. The one thing I really wanted to see was the spectators backing away from the exhaust stink. That would have been the slam-dunk as to leaness. But I didn't see it.
I call it rap, cuz it's a high frequency edgyness. Remember those old parts look-up machines with the micro-fiche pages? And every other sheet you had to twiddle the focus knob. And when you did, the picture appeared out of the fuzzy background. Well that's how I liken the sound in the tailpipe as it transitions from fat to lean; the sound goes out of focus, the rap gets muted. More so on the rich side. As you go leaner, it gets edgier, and then it's just suddenly gone. Then it begins to misfire. I love to hear that rap!
Anyway, we may never know,lol.
Sure is a nice looking rear-end tho, with sweet sounding muted mufflers, not that I want them, but they sound pretty mellow.
I had a 74 360 once,with a 4 speed. Back in 77 I think. Only had it for a year or two; the beak got to me. It was of course minty, being just 4 years old. I bought it with N50-15s and airshocks on it, and a monster snorkle hood, with a brand new paint job. What's that? How much you ask? I paid 2000 Cnucks for it. IIRC , I sold it for the same price or a bit more.....without the Ns and shocks, which I seem to remember selling for a total of 350. They were on honking heavy Keystone Classics. I loved that TQ moan. I loved it so much, almost every Mope I had after that, got one, even the current ride.; until the 4150 flanged AirGap went on. Everybody knows the AG is the one to have .......right? Hyup. I sure miss the moan. Funny thing is, it never really moaned on my 367.
Ok enough already, sorry OP for meandering... no that's not the word I'm looking for.......
