You got some good info from some of the guys. Larger cams can greatly affect idle vacuum. If vacuum is too low, the metering rod pistons will not come into play to restrict the jet orifice by the metering rod and so it runs rich. The hesitation you feel is when the throttle is hit, it gets an...

It sounds like a vacuum leak to me as the prime suspect. Here are some other things to check since you said it was good on fast idle until you kicked the choke off. This indicates a lean condition on the run and several things can affect it. 1. Remove the covers from the metering rod vacuum...

Hi Dorian I am slowly working on a web site to promote and manage sales. A lot of things happen that rob my funds!! I'm doing this without borrowing money. Thanks for asking! Hope all is well with you. Pat

Hi Ramcharger Joe! I finally got back on FABO. I messaged FISHBREATH too! Pat

Hey, Buddy! I finally got back on FABO. Have you gotten the Cuda done? Pat

By far, wiper seals are the biggest offenders with Mopar-bodies!

I've been down this road. My combo in a '69 Dart was very similar but I had nicely ported heads and the smallest solid lifter cam Hughes made with 4-speed and 3.55 gear. The best manifold hands-down was the RPM Airgap deeply ported to match the heads. The second best manifold was the Weiand...

I hope I don't muddy the waters or offend anyone but that is too much carb for a mild 360 automatic car. I have had a lot of experience with this stuff. Cuda 20 was on target. It isn't rocket science. Your engine is getting a big gulp of air before the fuel mixture is efficient enough to...

I wish you well with your Dart. Good idea with the 833. REAL MEN drive "pedal cars" LOL! Welcome to FABO...there are some really fine people on here. Pat:cheers:

I have a lot of respect for Guitar Jones and his knowledge and experience. I have to agree with moper though about the power valve. There is no good reason in my years of experience to remove a power valve from the primary side of a Holley. It is the most efficient way to enrichen the fuel...

Welcome to FABO!

Bad day for "Bullwinkle" for sure!

Welcome to FABO! There are a lot of good old farts on this site with a lot of knowledge. Enjoy! Pat

I sure like your ride and the fact that it is a "pedal car". There is just nothing like shifting under full power! Welcome to FABO. Great people here. Pat

If you can do it once and for all, I recommend adjustable valve train and then you can use any cam you want down the road. The smallest solid lifter cam offered by Hughes Engines will give you everything you want. I know from experience. I know there are alternatives and I hope some of the...

You have had some really great toys! Welcome to FABO...there are some really terrific guys (and cuda chick) on this site. A lot of KNOWLEDGEABLE people too! Enjoy. Pat

Welcome to FABO! Love your cars!

Sorry to hear that. I remember when I lost my Dad. I took solice in remembering the good days with him in my youth and the things he taught me about cars. My Mom is 88 and in good health but I know that sad day is coming. God bless you and your family and may he bring you comfort in the...

I am really happy for you, ramcharger Joe! It warms my heart to see something good happen for a GOOD guy for a change. Happy Holidays!

Rumblefish360, that picture in your avatar caught my attention. It looks like an AFB type carb with a choke horn adapter/modification to improve airflow. Care to elaborate? Thanks. Pat

Welcome aboard!

They used to say that cream rises to the top (a good thing)...but any more the people that make it to the top are like poop floaters in the toilet bowl. They just keep circling the perimeter!! There is a jerk pretty much everywhere you work. I hope this stays great for you. I sure wish...

I used a 750 double pumper on the stock bore 360 in my '69 Dart. It had ported heads, standard deck height, flat top pistons, RPM air Gap intake, roller rockers and the smallest solid lifter cam/kit Hughes makes. Gear was 3.55. It absolutely loved that carb!! The engine turned 7,000 rpm...

Your Lakewood is an oldie but goodie and has the bearing retainer pilot hole for a standard 23-spline A-833. The newer versions have the big hole and they come with an adapter ring. Either you have an OD 4-speed or an 18-spline "hemi box". Contact Jamie Passon at Passon Performance (Google)...

I'd rather have a dooky floater in the swimming pool than that car...but I do love those baby hemis (but not for $1,200) Pat

73dart360, I can feel your hurt. I've been through it...more than once. In my last marriage, I lost everything I had. You wouldn't believe the nasty things she did to me and she was the one that was unfaithful. The custody battle for my two beautiful daughters left me totally broke. The...

Excellent welding and fabrication. Pat

I always loved Highway 101. They had a long string of number one hits with Paulette Carlson singing. And who couldn't dig Merle Haggard when he's "drinkin' that sweet bubble up and eatin' that rainbow stew"? Pat

That looks and reads very professional. I know you do excellent work and take pride in it. You just can't beat ramcharger Joe or fishbreath when you need a little help and expertise. Good luck and may you prosper. Pat

Fantastic...and it's a pedal car yet! Way to go! Pat
