I buy Seafoam by the gallon now, and run it in everything. I don’t have to stabilize anything, I run it all the time. And no ethanol in my hobby cars, Rec fuel and 110 Turbo Blue are my choice.

I don’t believe I’ll have that problem, I’ve never been on Amazon.

Show off!!

For $50 and the shipping, I’ll sell you the correct linkage, minus the down rod. Unless you want me to find one of those, then it’ll be $60

theres nothing like the feeling of an extra 1000 cfm kicking in, it’s not for the faint of heart. I enjoy this car so much because it’s a mechanical beast, pure, raw power. You can’t get that nowadays in those new cars with the cup holders. In a properly tuned 6bbl car, there is no time for...

When I rebuilt my carbs last year, the Holley tech told me to use the blue bowl gasket, as the primary reason for vacuum secondary problems is that the older gaskets will fail and allow the vacuum chamber to fill with gas. No vacuum chamber, no vacuum. The gasket was $7 apiece, and I have no...

So, this is what I did. I bought a Vans sending unit, knowing it would not function properly, but it kept me on the road while I reconditioned my original. I bought the sock, gasket and float from Mancini and completely cleaned and rebuilt my old unit, opened the sweep chamber and it was full of...

Sounds like you already have your answer. About 200 miles on a tank, or 10 fill ups. You can always fill it up, drive 100 miles then fill it up again and do the old school miles vs gallons used to figure out what mileage you’re getting.

My information is based solely on the fact that you mentioned a 440. Being it’s in a hobby car, I think my suggestion is pretty good, if it was some high compression flame throwing beast I would think about getting a real estimate on power before making any decisions, but since it’s a weekend...

So, I run a 50/50 mix of 90 octane “rec” fuel, which has no ethanol, and 110 Turbo Blue, which has lead. I have a 440 in that car, and the big iron likes to have a fuel with a longer burn, which is the main property of higher octane fuel. I probably net about 102 octane or so, which is what was...

They’ve been this way for years, and are a snap to straighten. It even has the stickers on it telling you what to do and where to grab. You can surely do it, now get er done!

If you’d like your head to explode, read this entire thread, especially the first post. TUNING A SIX PACK

It is a complicated circuit that must be fine tuned in order to minimize the bog associated with opening the outboard carbs through the vacuum circuit. Fist of all, the center carb is known to slightly warp around the float bowl fastening screws due to a thinner design. When that happens, it can...

I’ve also heard that Bill Rolik has the best unit out there. It’s $140, but it’s supposed to actually work as intended.

I’ve read that the Vans unit’s suck the least. Out of the box they read 77 empty and 8 full, which is on par with the factory specs. I do know that you need to play with them, and accept the fact that you’re better off showing 3/4 full and empty, than full and run out at 1/4 tank.

Sorry Mitch, that’s the best I could do. Maybe my brother can chime in, I think he runs the 4 barrel base on his car, maybe he’s got something!

I don’t know if this helps or not, but this is the original setup of a 6 barrel air cleaner. 2 wing nuts and washers to hold the lid, nothing to hold the base to the carbs tho!

To tell you the truth, I can’t remember where I got it. I can tell you that it’s the same size as the chrome Commando lids from 66 cars, and that the slant and max wedge units are both different sizes. I believe this lid I have came in a 66 Cuda with a 273 2 bbl, but I don’t remember which car I...

Here’s one I have with the same 2 bbl baseplate, but no extra bung for the hose, which may be some kind of California emission thing. I’m using mine with the K&N filter for the commando assembly, and one of moparmat2000’s 4 bbl baseplates for 5” carb throats, to get a 2 bbl look out of my secret...

I'm parting out a 69 if you want me to cut out the upper shock crossmember for the 2 upper strap brackets!

Message member Moparmatt2000, I just sent him the crossmember area for the slotted strap holes, and I know hes already on this project!

Are there any rust holes in the trunk?? The most common areas to look for would be right around where the trunk pan meets the wheel well, down inside the trunk drops, or along the rear pan where it meets the tailpanel! Also, look at the taillight bezel gaskets, to see if they're cracked or...

If you tech in at the track, they do not allow more than 12" of rubber hose, just a fact!!

Is it running points or electronic ignition?? If it's points, first thing I would do is change the condenser under the cap, if it's electronic, check the coil, heck, check that with points also!!

...or just do what I did and buy a cheapie 10" chrome air cleaner and just use the base! I think it cost me $15!

If you're looking for the dia of the air filter, it's 10", and the Fram part number is CA-160

Wow, that looks great!! Nice job!! Takes a lot of nerve to cut up a good hood, yes??

I believe Quanta makes a tank for the early Cuda's, I see them advertised in all the Mopar books! I have also used that Eastwood tank liner with much success!! Geof

I think so!! Sounds like its too loose to catch the notch and keep it spinning with the cam!! I think you'll have to operate, Doc!!!
