    Engine dies when warm

    There you go! :thumbsup: See if the divorced choke (the heated spring under that dome cover) even moves when warming from cold with a heat gun or something. Sometimes they break. If it does make sure its at operating temp and turn adjuster screw on side of spring (if it has one) or bend the...

    Engine dies when warm

    Is the choke all the way off? Id let that thing idle for about 15 minutes and then tap the gas to make sure the choke pulls off the high idle ramp. It should set choke to wide open and settle into a 600ish idle. IF the choke never opens, hitting the gas will cause is to sputter and die. I had a...

    Driver inlet rad on slant 6

    I took a 90 bend off the rad and ran a 12" piece of PVC to a flex hose up around the timing cover. worked great but if that 72281 Magnum hose works, let us know! Im running an early Mustang Aluminum radiator.

    Slant six transplant ‘64 Barracuda

    68 and newer is the break for small and large snout cranks/convertors. Get both >67 and youll be set. If you have a big newer convertor and a small crank, your SOL. other way around is doable with a Tflite Paddy (sp?) 1/8 wall bushing.

    Engine dies when warm

    in gear and it dies sounds lean. Choked richens the mix (higher vacuum from the choke restrictions) and off idle its back to lean. Unscrew the mixture screw 1/2 turn and see if there is any difference. If not turn it back, its free. Another Gotcha is the fuel filter: if its horizontal, it can...

    Weber DGV float setting

    awesome PDFs for the 'ol Weber. Ill assume the (new) 18mm clearance is accurate for new style gasket and new floats per Redline as they probably sell the most WEBER cast carbs here in USA. I can get that measurement at the tip of the float. When they show it parallel to the top is were I lose it...

    Question on parts value

    Gen 3 hemi is a drop in 250-340 CFM head motor. Hard to bet and cheap. Its just evolution. Good luck on the sale, W stuff usually sells but I cant quote prices.

    Ignition system questions

    you could lop off 5 of the 6 reluctors in a electronic distributor and have that as the cam position sensor as its a 2:1 rotation. 36-1 would be ignition trigger for a EDIS-6, really easy to do that as the EDIS knows the ignition timing after 1 rotation. Run LS coils if you dont do single coil EDIS.

    64 barracuda 273

    The 2.94 rear will love you more with a 318 in front of it. a "High revving 273" is just a smaller bore "high revving 318". I F'd up my 273-4 and just moved all the parts on to a '68 318 short block. It felt faster than the 273-4. HP sells, but torque wins races. Read the fine print...

    Weber DGV float setting

    you will probably find that 18 mm between top of float and gasket-ed lid is the same as 35mm from bottom of float to the gasketed lid.... unless they changed the design of the float. This cant be obtained as the float is 27mm thick and 27 + 18mm clearance would be 45mm to gasket, not 35 (or...

    Weber DGV float setting

    A few pics to show a "35mm float bottom to top" is impossible. Note that these are all shot upside down so the bottom of float is obviously the top of the pic. The pivot pin is about 20mm off the top. If I were to hammer the metal bracket flat it could possibly level out as the diagram shows...

    Weber DGV float setting

    Got one and of course you take it apart before you install it right? Redline (only importer of Weber carbs in USA) says set the float to: 18mm from top of float off the gasket with the needles spring ball barely touching. Then Pegasus racing say "...Weber recommends setting the height of a...

    Steering ratio doubler advice.

    16:1 is like 3.75 lock to lock? 12:1 would be like a 2.8? That would be like go cart steering....maybe a little sketchy on the interstate.

    Slant 6 offi 4 barrel intake

    I got a GENUINE WEBER 32/36 DGAV ('Weber' Cast in multiple locations, Made in SPAIN: supposedly better metallurgy for longer throttle shaft service life than clones with stickers) like 63spf's post, will be putting it in the FS section as I can't use it. I needed a DFAV (mirror image) that pulls...

    Are all 273 V8's the same?

    The "T-Flight Patty" name comes to mind of the centering ring to make a small snout fit a 68 crank, but its only a 1/8 wall ring, nd it can be made (really!) by chopping up a few 1/8 drill bits and tacking them together in a ring pattern. Simce the crank and convertor turn as a unit, there is no...

    Aftermarket ignition ...do you really need one?

    Saw this from Chrysler Engineer Dave Zelkowski, had this to say about aftermarket ignition systems- "The ONLY thing they will do for you is lighten your wallet. If there is nothing wrong with the stock ignition components it won't help. If you have some old tired components then it could be a...

    electric bikes?

    That's terrible, our slicks dont have AC outlets outside and are triple locked and alarmed. You do see a lot of Obama phones plugged into McDonalds outlets. One reason I quit going there..7 years ago and counting.

    electric bikes?

    Now my 9 year old wants one. I got a 500W E-lawmower motor and a 7/84 sprocket set off a race cart and his old 16" BMX bike....Hmmm? I kinda like that traction motor that hangs off the seat design.

    Best way to remove moisture and mold in car?

    dessicant really works well, so well that it will dry your hands right out if you dont wash up afterwords with a good bar soap. Moving air is good to prevent mold, Even a little PC fan pulling air through the cab during storage can help alot.
