I have the rear out of my 70 Dart in black. Had a new top cap put on the back rest due to sun fading, the rest is in really good shape. It’s just taking up space in my spare bedroom and you can have it for free. I’m in Lakeside, basically east San Diego if you’re interested.

Hey Mike, can we group these threads together into one for John? Thanks. Tom

This is truly sad. John gave so much to this site, whether it was sharing his insight into porting heads or his endless search for a hot woman at Walmart. While I have never met John in person, please allow me to provide some insight to others on the kind of Man John was. Back in 2018 I was...

That works too, just a pain to get to, but free!

Here you go Ron, closer look.

That’s what I did, put a screw in with a bigger head so I could mark it. Square the front, then adjust the secondaries to get the idle where you want it. I also have the butterflies drilled, but my cam is more radical than his.

Good luck! BTW, what headers are you running? Edit: Ah, American Racing!

No Sir, not sure if any carbs actually come with them, think they just drill them to a predetermined size. If I were you, I would just start with squaring the primary Tslot and close the secondary until your idle lowers. After you get there see where you’re at. I think you’re idle is too high...

The top picture is the carb body, the bottom picture is the metering block. BTW, you don’t have adjustable Tslot restrictors.

No, they are in the main body of the carb, you need to remove the metering block to see them. In the picture they drilled the hole, tapped it and then drilled set screws to the the size they wanted. Same thing I did.

Yes, that and the metering block. There is a picture of what I’m talking about in the link and an explanation. Welcome to the rabbit hole of carb tuning! https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/racingfuelsystems/transfer-slot-restrictor-picture-t1392.html

I was commenting on the Tslot restrictors, they would be jets in the main body of the carb.

Do this to both carbs regardless of which one you wish to use. This will calm down your idle circuit and make tuning exponentially easier. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/racingfuelsystems/relocating-the-holley-idle-jet-t18.html My guess it doesn’t have have one, my Quickfuel didn’t, drilled...

Mine is in the ashtray on a 318 car.

The heat’s been pretty brutal out here too, had a month of 100+ with some mixed in 112/113’s. Finally calmed down some and in the 80/90’s. So tightening the terminals fixed the two step ya think? I honestly hate electrical problems and been working in the field for 35 years…

Probably because it’s hard to bag up or put in a recycle bin…

Want tacos in San Diego, please bring some Wise potato chips!

Glad to hear John! Keep up on the eye drop schedule if they gave you some.

We had some guys on submarines get them, automatic disqualification for sub duty, docs always said it was front too much sugary liquid intake. They were Navy doctors though….

You gotta drink less pop John! Glad you’re feeling better!

I use ARP Ultra Torque, comes with their bolts. I wouldn’t use red, unless you plan it together forever.

That would have been rough work! My dad was a chainmen at Mesta Machine before they shut down, not much fun either.

Wishing you a speedy recovery with hawk like vision!

Exactly Rusty!

Hmmm

No, mine is cloth wrapped, I think they impregnate the Teflon with a conductive material.

I used this stuff years ago when I did mine. Didn’t even know about it the static issue, but looks like they already had it covered. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp?GroupID=PLUMANFLEX

Well that sucks, ordered some 75140's from JEGS this weekend only to get an email today that they are no longer in production... Did some more looking around today and found a post from someone on here who ordered some TA's about two years ago and they were lower than their old ones. Couldn't...

Yep, manual box showed up Thursday, Mancini adapter tomorrow and have been sitting on my QA1 K member. Finally realized I needed bigger headers with what the stroker is putting out and have been looking for a box to show up on here. If I could find some 5303's it would be a done deal. Since...

Do you happen to have any pictures of how low they hang under your car?
