I have a few studs and washers to offer, left over from years back when Rusty saved my back side.

Hey Rusty! Long time - no chat. I had to cut up my header pipes to get the angle right to clear the power steering, etc. To get all the angles right, I bought a box of black pipe plumbing parts and assembled those to get the angle and lengths right and then transferred the mockup to the...

It really is ridiculous, Rusty. We tried to stick it out with volunteering, lobbying and voting to no avail.

Thanks you guys! I hope to be back to my version of "normal" by summer. Till then it will be hit and miss.

Hello Gear Heads, Merry Christmas! A year ago, my wife called me from the kitchen floor. Doing what? Laying low because of a drive by shootout in front of our house in Tacoma WA. Called the police and said I had video footage of the car and the guy sitting on the passenger windowsill, shooting...

We did the two wheel chocks for rt-ft, lft-rear when parked overnight under a car cover. For restaurants, stores and overnight, we have a keyed under dash coil ground and hood lock. We also put in one of those radar sensor proximity alarms that is supposed to have a separate sensor for when...

You remind me of a guy I used to see back in the '60s that rode a huge Harley in the snow/ice. He would have his legs out spread-eagle like outriggers half the time. I love having the top down enough that I wired in a plug for my old 12vt heated motorcycle jacket for the little woman. And I...

I've had on ongoing exhaust leak inside this convertible since we bought it. The convertible boot is missing but so what? It didn't matter for half the year because the top was down. This time of year, it matters again. I bought rubber plugs for every hole in the floor pan and spent more time...

When we first bought our 64 we felt vulnerable with just a lap belt. There was an aftermarket shoulder harness that had the belt reel mounted on the interior body post near the floor with the pivot point on the same body post just below the rear - side window. It looked like a bit of a hassle...

Man, I clicked the "Next Tab" button and lost a half hour. Thanks!!

I don't know about today, but when I was 16 (1970) my buddies and I would cruise the back country roads outside of Walla Walla with a charged battery, a can of gas, and +/- $30 between us. We would hit up the farmers for the 1950-something car parked behind their barn or "under that tree" and...

And from what I've read here, If you 'just' plug in a 318, you'll feel so good you won't care anymore! :poke: :steering:

Dang - I didn't check that! I've been told I'm a half a bubble off my whole life, but this is every bit of a full bubble forward from the top of the carb.

I did this mod on my '64 Dart and used a '64 - 318 air cleaner. Hood closes.

I found it depends on how I do the math. I milled the head .100", built some tube headers along with some other minor mods and got 32 MPG doing the math in my head. Put a pencil to paper and it was 22 MPG. So, in thinking about what I just said, I'd say it all depends on how I feeel about my MPG...

Very, very cool! Following for fun and education.:popcorn:

That I can do while waiting to go see the other carb guru. The one that did the original work got pissed when I told him I had a vacuum leak. Sometimes people are funny in not so funny ways. :poke:

You know - the reason I paid through the nose for an NOS carb was so I wouldn't be doing this. Should have done more research. :wtf:

And is there a fix for the shaft leaking on this side?

That is the opposite side from the original linkage set up where the idle and choke cam are located, yes?

I've never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the knife drawer, but this is getting ridiculous, even for me. I wrote that novel in the first post out of desperation, looking for what I missed. My parts guy says, "It's going to be something really simple." Me, "Is not!" My buddy that helped...

I'm running out of time before I have to be out of town for a week+. I'll read the link and dig in once I get back. Thanks!

Chain was good with the one barrel on it and it only hesitates with the choke off / engine cool. I did wonder about metering rods VS accelerator pump. Looking down the carb, the accelerator pump squirts at the first bump of the throttle shaft. I'm willing to give it a go though!

I installed an intake hot water heating plate where the stock exhaust header attached. I got ticked and rotated the choke so far closed that at operating temp the choke flap was still partially closed. It didn't stumble at low and mid-engine temps then.

Thanks for the link! I turned the allen head adjustment screw for the metering rods one full turn clockwise (rich). Test drove it from stone cold to full operating temp and it didn't stumble once. Let it completely cool down and drove it again and it stumbled from fast idle off until the...

Boy do I have a lot of frustration to go to get my money's worth out of what I have in this carb. The messiest part of this carb conversion has been paying through the nose for the pleasure of working with a NOS carb and then having a local shop modify the throttle shaft to accept the original...
