I’ll see about sending him a message, appreciate that. In the meantime I’ll probably take the top of the carb off and have a looksie now that it’s been run a bit. In the morning of course. Thanks again Rick you’ve been a great help thus far. Have a good night.

So…….Im positive I now need a fuel regulator, I’ve only driven the car 4 times and it’s eating gas like crazy and just running not good. Plumbed a pressure gauge in just after the filter and just as I suspected it’s feeding fuel at 7-8psi into the carb. Not good from what I understand. Unless...

Yes sir, made sure the kick down was 100% functional, not interested in replacing the tranny. Lol. Excuse the pic quality my lens is buggered. Had fabricated one up at work and it work’s perfectly.

It’s shifting really well, for as long as I’ve had it it shifts smoothest during a little harder acceleration. Doesn’t like to be babied that’s for sure. Lol

I’ve had it out a couple times now and it’s honestly way better than the stock 2bbl and manifold. Throttle response and acceleration are better than I expected. It really lets the 318 come alive. I’m really happy with how it turned out. Hopefully this winter I can do some work to the heads...

I just want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to try and help me out, you guys are the best!!

Turns out when I put the distributor back on I advanced it, set it back and now it’s running.

There closed. I also put in a square to spread bore adapter just now. Maybe that’ll help.

So I’m waiting on en electric choke so there isn’t one. No cable nothing. Would that make it act like the throttle is wide open?

So much to my dismay something is wrong. As soon as I start my engine it over revs like the throttle is wide open. This cars is going to be the death of me.

This is just a temporary mock up, still many adjustments to be made.

Crafted with the best of intentions. Lol

Man I wish I had the time and money! I have a parking spot and a love of classic cars. I actually fabricated a linkage bracket at work today out of aluminum. It is actually working, quite well so far. If I’m lucky I might be able to fire the engine tonight. Fingers crossed.

Seriously thank you!!! Those two videos were exactly what I needed, I knew there had to be a way to use the old bbl linkage. Fabo is really an amazing group of people.

Cheers, I’m very new, literally yesterday. Thanks.

Hey guys I need some help, I just replaced my intake and carb to a 4bbl in my 74 Dart, now I’m stumped on how to make the throttle linkage work. Any help will be much appreciated.

So the manifold and most components are all back together but the throttle linkages are the next big issue.

Only reason for that intake is because this is my daily driver in the warm months. That and I’m not gonna do cam, crank, heads or headers for awhile. I think it’ll liven the old beast up nicely.

I honestly hate these valve covers. From the get-go the fit sloppy but the cherry on top was that the inside baffles were too low and actually contacted the rockers. On both side. When I found out I pulled the valve train rods and lifters and scoured for any metal bits but nothing to be found.

I’m sure there will be a few dry-fits and a little trim here and there, I really appreciate every bit of advice. One other thing though, last night when I removed the old intake manifold some of the antifreeze made it down into the lifter galley. Can I safely assume the oil is contaminated and...

Yeah it has the pins front and back, I tried pulling them with no luck so I’ll most likely cut them off. I have a gasket kit with he steel crush style head gaskets, it came with cork for both ends but from what research I e done most guys just use the black permatex. That’s my plan so far...

I’m going to salvage all the linkage parts I can from the original bbl, it looks pretty straight forward. I really appreciate all the advice. Thanks again. Will update when I’m done. Or stuck, lol.

So tonight after work I decided to start a carb and intake upgrade on my 74 dart 318, this is a first for me. So far everything has been going as expected, the only thing I kinda foresee is an issue with the stock accelerator linkage. I’m hoping it will reach, has anyone got some wisdom they...
