    Will a 1976 Aluminum 1 Barrel carb work on my 69 Slant 6 225

    I would think so. I am running a late 2bbl on my 67. It might not be jetted perfectly, I suppose -- they were running pretty lean at that time. But I don't care for those Holleys, myself.

    What mileage does your slant six powered ride get?

    A-body, 225, 904, 3.23, 2bbl Carter with 2-1/4 exhaust. Gets 15-18mpg on road trips with two people and luggage, mostly back roads. Would get higher on the freeway if I kept it at 60 or less, but that never seems to happen. Aerodynamics is a b****.

    Flex-aLite fan for Slant 6?

    I had a flex fan and I eyeballed it for fit in my Barracuda, but there is no way. A flex fan is naturally deep, and the depth is all to the back side of the hub. Even with a max spacer, it would interfere with the power steering pump and belt. But any of the 5, 6 or 7-bladed fans used on other...

    Slant six intake manifold flanges, anyone got a cad file?

    1-3/4" is an HS6, I believe. Sounds like you got them off a Triumph TR6. I can confirm the scans are actual size by putting a scale bar on them -- check the scale bar on the printout to make sure it is at 100%. Of course, it will have to be tiled across multiple pieces of paper unless you have a...

    Slant six intake manifold flanges, anyone got a cad file?

    I think the problem is he doesn't have one available to take measurements from. The flange dimensions are not the same as the gasket dimensions.

    Slant six intake manifold flanges, anyone got a cad file?

    What size of SU? HS6? I have long thought that a triple SU setup would be very effective on a slant six. Would a tracing of the manifold flanges help? I have one laying around -- I could trace it and scan the tracing.

    Newer vs Older

    No. I have a 67 Barracuda, and it has the small snout.

    Newer vs Older

    Yes, you can get an adapter to use a 67 tranny with a later engine. I just had to do this last year. I got it from this guy: T'Flite Patty's Shop Mart | eBay Stores Looks like he is on vacation right now.

    Newer vs Older

    Be aware there is a transmission interchange issue between 67-and-earlier and 68-and-up. So if you already have a transmission in mind, stay in that year range. You can get an adapter for later engine/early transmission, but not the other way around.

    Vibration

    Mine has a vibration at around 60-65 on the freeway. I was thinking it might be a driveshaft u-joint. When I got it, one was loose, but I just repacked it and put it back together. Replacing it has been on my to-do list.

    cracked slant block

    I patched a crack to the coolant passage in a head with JB Weld and ran it for years. I opened it up with a file and thoroughly cleaned the adjoining surfaces. What do you have to lose?

    Carter 383 2bbl for SL6

    Sure, the Carter BBD is what they used on the super six -- it will bolt up to the manifold. But the jetting is probably going to be a little aggressive. The standard 273/318 Carter is probably going to work better. You can get a Chinese clone brand new on eBay for $110 -- I'd say bolt it up and...

    Super Six exhaust manifold

    Intake manifold for 225 slant 6

    I used a Bouchillon kickdown cable and a Hemi throttle cable (shortest one I could find) with a super six intake and air cleaner and a 2bbl Carter clone from China (the super six Carter had issues). Already had a 2.25 exhaust system. This setup improved drivability a lot, I think, particularly...

    Need help!!! 1965 power steering nightmare

    Right -- the problem is the brackets are different. I switched to that style of later Saginaw pump on my 67 Barracuda slant six, and I had to find a different bracket for it. So I can tell you it is different. Otherwise, worked great, same hose, no problem. I got the bracket by a Parts Wanted ad...

    Mate 67 /6 to 72 tranny

    Yes, the slants changed from 67 to 68. To mate up a 68 motor with my 67 904, I had to use an adapter ring. Going the other way, you'd have to use a different torque convertor with a small snout.

    /6 Exhaust: Dual or single? Your thoughts

    Are you thinking of the fat resonator on the 273 Commando Formula S Barracudas? They do repop those, for about $450. I think they fit a 2.25 pipe -- IIRC they were 2.5 back to the muffler, then 2.25 over the axle.

    A Little Slant 6 Reliability Proof

    Well, ssba, it may just be the way the previous owner broke them in. You take a car that the little old lady never took over 3000rpm, and wind it up on the freeway, you are likely to induce a problem. Which reminds me... I just dropped in a L.O.L. motor -- maybe I should treat it more gently.

    What is this throttle mount?

    Here are a couple photos of a Holley setup. Not completely focused on what you need, I'm afraid. I'm running a 2bbl now so I can't take any more.

    What is this throttle mount?

    On the factory Holley 1bbl, the linkages come up from below. On a Carter 2bbl setup, they would be parallel and go straight back toward the firewall.

    Running Slant 6 and trans value?

    I recently paid $150 for a running motor, plus an engine stand. The key thing is, you can only sell it locally -- nobody is going to pay to ship it. So what is demand like in your area? I think it really would help to get in touch with the "target market" -- the slant six club guys. I hooked up...

    3rd redo of installing the super six manifolds....help with gaskets

    I don't understand how you could *not* have a small leak at the heat riser flap shaft -- it has a very loose clearance, and there is no bushing. It had to have leaked from the factory. And I don't know what you could do to fix it... drill out both sides and install bronze bushings and a brass...
