So the choke doesnt stay on that long. I have it sent towards the middle on the lean side of the pull off setting. I can try to see if loosening it up more would help. To my knowledge, no. I dont believe the intake went to the machine shop. I tried something similar with MAP gas. But I...

Hello, So I inherited a 70 charger that I have been having some issues with and have posted about this car a couple times here on the forum. It is a 440 HP out of a 68 New yorker, with the 727 auto and an 8 ¾ rear end. I know the engine was bored, block decked, heads shaved, running XE274H-10...

So thats interesting you bring up that Carb List... So I was not able to find the part number (0-80459SA) on there. Unless using the "Find" feature online isnt actually bringing up that number. This car has only been street driven with a couple hard pulls for kicks. But mostly just daily...

thank you everyone for your replies. Well I decided to try to dive into this issue but hit a snag... so while I was looking at changing the power valve I noticed that the carb has 72 jets and not 64 like the documentation says it should have. I don't have any record of me changing them when I...

So I found this video for jetting: https://www.holley.com/blog/post/how_and_when_to_change_the_jets_on_a_holley_carb/ This one for accelerator pump: This for PV https://www.holley.com/blog/post/how_to_tune_the_power_valve_in_a_holley_carburetor/ and this for secondaries

This carb came with the 64 jets, which I thought was fine since the original 4160 holleys came with the 64 jets. I do have jets ranging from 61-70, I also have the holley kit that includes different squirtter sizes, accelerator pumps, and cams. I do not have a stock of PV's (just a 6.5 sitting...

Hello, So like the title suggests, I am trying to narrow down my power valve selection. The car is a 70 charger, 440, 727, 3.55 rear. The cam is the Comp Cams XE274H-10. Running stock heads, intake, exhaust. The carb is a 750 Holley with vacuum secondaries, 64 jets, and currently an 8.5...

I have been slowly lowering the front of the car and it is handling a little better. It may be at the point where I try the alignment again. Other than that, and the brake pedal height (just got the adjustable rod this week), its running great! its a fun car to drive. Slowly putting small...

So this past holiday weekend I got some time to work on the brakes. I replaced both front wheel cylinders, brake pads and installed new adjuster kits. I adjusted the brakes and took it for a ride. They were better but not great. Towards the end of the drive once I came to a complete stop at...

So I made some time last night to look into the charger and found a couple interesting things. First off, like I vaguely remember, the adjusting lever was not contacting the star on the adjuster. I am chalking this up to mismatched parts from the original components mixed with todays revised...

Interesting... There is nothing like that in the 70 Service manual. I guess if I ever take off the master cylinder Ill take that measurement Oh God... I didnt even think of that... I guess that would be very easy to determine if I am taking the drums off anyway. Thanks for the idea.

I am not to sure on the wheel cylinder sizes. I guess I can try to measure those. But I know the master cylinder is the 1" bore like the FSM states it should have. It is drum drum master cylinder, but I did not remove any residual valves. I looked through the brake section in the 70 charger...

This past weekend I made it back home to do some driving! Well rain on saturday turned that day into a work day so to fill the time I installed the wheel lip moldings. It does really help balance the look of the car. I did look a little bit at the alignment and noticed that my lower control...

So when I installed the booster a year or two ago I did. I may have done it last year as well (have to look at the maintenance log). When thinking in the shower this morning I thought the easiest place to start was at all the wheels to see where they are adjusted at, remove drums and wheels to...

So the car in question is a 70 charger. It has 10" drums all around that were rebuilt with new springs and cylinders a couple years about (about 1500 miles ago), new hard and soft lines, new master cylinder, with a repro disk brake booster. I bled all the air out of the lines and verified that...

I have just put a 2.94 gear set in my 68 dart convertible with the 225 slant six. I just had 2.76's in it last summer. Now I also changed some ignition stuff and only had the car out once so far due to all this rain. But on high ways and hills (which is what I drive to work) I really didnt...

This past weekend I went home and finally got some wheel time on the car. DAMN, does it drive nice! it is about time that I can actually drive it and not worry about over heating or engine issues. The alternator had some bad diodes in it so I got them replaced and now the car is charging, but...

From what I read people didnt need to modify the firewall. it is just in my case the drivers side manifold did hit the fire wall. Now, that could be because I was using a 67 big block K member which could be different than the 68-69 K members or normal factory tolerances or the casting number...

So I found this: Bucket seat tracks 68-69 seat frames between A and B are the same. So there is a possibility the 6-way could bolt up to the seat frame. However that same post says that the seat tracks are different between A & B, but doesnt say what is different... So there is a shot...

With those b bodies manifolds it is a TIGHT fit. I ran them when I broke in the 383 in my dart (it’s an original big block car). They hit the firewall. Everything you said can be done to swap in a big block. You didn’t mention if your car was column shifted or had a console. There is more...

Hello everyone, So as I am suppose to be getting ready for work my mind went down yet another rabbit hole: I may have access to getting a reproduction 69 b body 6-way manual seat track and was wondering if it would not only bolt up to a 67 dart bucket seat, but if it would bolt to the...

This past weekend I needed the jack stands that held up the GTS to lift the Packard up so I could change the front wheel bearings. before I set the GTS on the ground I was able to install the Z bar. That was a pain in the ***. But it fits better now and the operation is a lot smoother! I...

Well I was able to get a little time in on the GTS while home. One issue that has been there since the start is the interference of the Z bar and the headers. Never really took the time to fix it since I could never get the car to run right and the steering was always a pain. Well I had the...

Awesome thank you guys!! I guess I missed this section in the FSM...

Hello, I am finally getting to the point where I believe I can enjoy my 67 Dart on the road. The build thread is in my signature but it is a 383 with TTI long tube headers and a four speed. Other parts in my following discussion are a rebuilt federal power steering pump and a rebuilt...

I made it back to where the car is for a family function and got some time in-between winterizing the other vehicles. I finally started it after the work that was described above and holy cow!! You could balance a nickel on that engine at idle it was so smooth! the idle sounded awesome! After...

I was back at it this past weekend. I was able to get all the retainers and locks changed out on both sides. I cleaned both rocker shaft assemblies and insured the oil drain holes were oriented properly. I Installed all the push rods and rotated the engine to make sure everything worked...

This past weekend I was in the area for a wedding so I got a little time to work on the GTS. Got the passenger side keepers and retainers installed Still have to do the drivers side. Then its on to more inspection and hopefully getting it back together.

Life is really busy... but I was able to finally look into adding in the lifter, putting in a new rocker and rocker shaft, reinstall the the keepers and be good to go! well that didnt exactly happen. As I looked into the keepers, I noticed I had 4 groove and 2 groove valve stems. Looking into...

yea it does appear that the gap is greater than what is on a stock 440 head I have sitting around. Yes the keeper for the intake does appear less round, like it was designed to have a gap. I dont know if it was for a bigger valve because I have the 3/8ths valve stems. I dont think Mopar had...
