I got my popcorn

I met Tony years ago. Bought parts from him, and sold parts to him FTF. He's a weird bird. Lot's of people hate the NY accent. He's a rarity around here. Not like when I lived in SWFL. He' like a kid when he comes up with theories on building cars. He does introduce younger guys into the old...

Watching DDG almost get air with his 340 Demon reminded me of this launch in Bowling Green back in 2007 at the Chrysler Classic. 65lbs of air in the front tires. 55 in the rear. I forget how much air in the shocks Uncorked the headers Tach wasn't working. 3:23's open diff 198 slant, stock...

I have a hard time listening to DDG. I commented to him on Ytube that he sounds just like Doctor Dimento. He agreed with me..................:lol:

Decking the block on my Duster didn't make sense as it only has 65K on it right now, and is a 198. I have 2 225's here. One is probably totally fucked as my idiot dogs kept pulling the tarps off it. My priorities have changed. I really need to build a house before I die.

Interesting. If I would have known that I would have done a lot more on my head.

Good. If you don't know what you are looking at why spend the money in a gamble. The '77 is a solid lifter head. Pulled it off a '77 van. I had one done at a local machine shop for a 1980 (or was it a '81?) I don't remember, the truck is sitting next door. the head I pulled off it is probably...

I thought that Permatex could handle gasoline.......... " Reliable, fast-drying, all-purpose sealant dries to a highly tacky, non-brittle film; remains tacky indefinitely Tacky paste for holding cut gaskets in place during assembly; helps seal cut gaskets Resists gasoline, oil...

Thank you Dan. Nitrophyl was the term I was looking for. Maybe some Permatex blackberry syrup type gasket sealer would help? I was just looking at 1920 images. Some have brass floats. They may be available for the Mopar 1920's.

Is it soaking up gas? Also check for trash on the needle halve

Brass,or phenolic float?

Last time I caught them with a hand held fishing net. Then took them to the hatchet............

He was in the Keys, Monroe county from 2018-2023. Sold his house in Key Largo and built in Volusia county. Went from 1/8th of an acre (big in Key Largo!) to 10. He wasn't with FHP very long. He was in Management in the water company in the Keys. Too much stress! FHP was better. Paid into the...

If you are running 30* ADC? You can't move the slant distributor 30* without loosening the collar on it or jumping a tooth or more on the drive gear.

My brother just retired from FHP. His last few months was on I-95. He was doing accident reports catching up on his paper work and got an SUV flying past him pretty fast. Charger went to 141mph quickly went to 152 kind of slowly. The SUV hammered it and left him in the dust. Never knew the make...

...a checkbook build so he hasn't got the knowledge. Are you planning on adding an intercooler? Looks like you would have to clock the turbine 180* for the piping. Knowing the temp of the compressed air might be a good thing. Maybe something that can be read by the controller. Running "X"...

Stock cam, heavily ported head, stock valves. I may have been running a slant 2bbl Holley at the time. No power steering, not running the dealer installed AC. 70 with the AC on was 16.7.

I did a few Bonzi runs in my day Naples, to Nashville and back in the 198 Duster. 82mph with 3:23's (it came new with those) and the 3 speed manual. 22mpg.

Now I know who the Car Wizard looks like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dan!!! The Slant Wizard!!!

Is that $15 for one? If so how much is 2?

Check with Music City Mopar Club. They might know someone who has slant stuff. My next door neighbor has one in a van that I am going to probably buy. But I think I want the motor etc. Might want to do a cast crank motor for my Duster. Tony Defeo (Whitepunk on Nitro) he might have something...

800 cfm was the smaller TQ. (maybe a Carter fib on the size) A properly tuned air valve on the secondaries will give all the air the engine demands. Some 360's came with an 850cfm. IIRC the Mopar Q-jets were 725 to 750. Triple boosters on the primaries. I pulled a nice one off a 318 van. It did...

Why? What do you know about the fuel business?

Back in the day my Formula S got 14mpg combined with 3:23's. It was a 511"RB. The trick is 2bbl's get better MPG. Mine had 3 of them! I suggest going that route with yours. Combined MPG = 7 in the city, 7 on the highway :p

:popcorn:

Damn! Blew that info up to 300% on my 54" TV and still can't read half of it:(

I want to go EFI/turbo eventually. Lighter reciprocating assembly, possibly a lighter block too. The cast crank should handle a turbo. Narrow the rod ends so I don't have to buy K1 rods.

Rod journals narrower on the cast cranks?

600cfm is kind of large. Whatever happened to the 390 Holley's? I used to run consistent 10.58's in the 1/8th with 3 on the tree, 198 open 3:23's, M-1 intake 318 BB or a Holley 2bbl off a slant. Stock valves and cam, Hooker headers with a H pipe crossover duals out the back, with Superior...

Cast crank engines have narrower rod journals don't they? I was wanting to pull the rods out of my '72 198 to use that engine for the lighter crank, and if I remember right lighter block. I am eyeing my neighbor's '80 or '81 van. A friend used to own that van and I knew that van when it was...
