Compression specs are usually given using the smallest chamber and also several other variables. If you run a compression test, we can get very close with a decent distributor curve I just bet will take care of the detonation.

What does this mean, exactly? I take it to mean something like "I don't care what other peoples opinions are, I know what I'm doing with the carburetor" If that's the case, tell me now and I won't waste any more of my time. Carburetor tuning can be taught easily and it's a stone cold FACT a...

I stopped reading at Holley. There's your problem. At least, in my opinion.

What is the compression? I'd be willing to bet you can solve the detonation by a good timing curve.

I don't necessarily agree with that old adage. A double pumper can be tuned to beat a vacuum secondary every time if you know what you're doing.

He'll never own a Mopar. Ever.

Yeah, Summit said EVERYTHING from Speedmaster. Summit don't play around with that kinda crap.

68-71 340.

:rofl:

This is one of my favorites.

I love how the girls just beat him to DEATH at the end. LMAO

Right. They'd already be on the shelf everywhere. I think Vans would be just as happy with a good used one.

Pictures of exactly what YOU have will help, too. Not someone else's pictures.

Not if you're using a one piece gasket, no.

No.

That hole was used somehow in the casting process. It's nothing of use. If you're using a one piece oil pan gasket, there's no need for sealant. Also, you can use Locktite on the bolts. I prefer blue.

I'm not a Duster expert, but I think some did. These guys on here know a lot more about that kinda thing than I do so they'll let us know.

Yes. You may have to rock it back and forth a little but it will come right off. The important part is installing the pickup correctly. It needs to be touching the bottom of the oil pan slightly when it is in the correct place. That's with the oil pan gaskets in place.

It has two bolts that hold it on. It's self explanatory. Just look at it. That's your diagram. Bolt torque is 35 LB FT.

Yes.

Hood scoops are likely original. Nice find.

Oh ok. That helps. lol You install the pickup before installing the pump.

What's an oil catcher? Lets use the right terminology here so we all know what you're talking about. I haven't a clue.

It's one of the stupidest phrases in the automotive world and perhaps anywhere else. I translate it to mean "I'm an ignorant idiot" when I hear someone say it or see it in type.

Plenty strong.

Sea Foam is also a miracle worker.

I thought he was referring to the solid pin that presses through the end of the shaft.

Here's the thing. There's ALWAYS better cam choices. Know what I mean? Somebody somewhere will always say that and to some extent, it's true, I guess. But here's my argument on that. If you already HAVE one or have one ordered, there is no better cam choice. Unless it's so badly mismatched that...

And that's how they fail. They get a lot of space between the gears and that slop allows the gears to get just enough of a "running start" that they will snap a tooth off. Then another and another until the small pinions are stripped. Just happened to mine about the first of the year. A friend...
