Dumping the Air cleaner temp sensor will hurt mileage if I remember correctly it keeps the air temp around 100 degrees and helps with economy

I Have a 92 DAkota with the MAgnum 3.9 with over 250K and the valve covers have never been off . The best I EVER got was 18 mpg in a high state of tune.

I belive this to be an aftermarket perfect circle rocker shaft in excellent condition the plugs in the end of the shaft are marked pc5 sure could use a little help on pricing it for sale here

cool, always nice to see a fellow "never pay full price for anything" guy, I really like what you did with the exhaust, home brew stuff is good, how did the steaks taste after the manifold "cooking" ? LOL

Man that looks great, is that the Dutra duals on there?

390 cfm is now $415 at Summit plus at least $200 for the intake gaskets, mods, frigging, air cleaner, linkage, $100 Grand total over $700

if you are a cheap SOB like me, it's not a 4 barrel but the big rochester 2 barrel on pontiac/buicks had 400 cfm, I saw on once on a /6 and it ran like a scalded dog, the guy had machined the manifold to accept it, they are cheap and plentiful, I saw a company once, cant remember who it was...

Seen similar before, turned out to be a small casting flaw in the carb body that was allowing fuel to seep at a slow rate

x2 you will probably find a burnt valve, not totally smoked but only slightly burned

x2

No, but the carb is a specially calibrated unit that was supposed to deliver 25-26 mpg. I have read that some of the lites would pull 30 mpg but I find that hard to beleive

I chased this problem in a 62 Impala I had and it turned out that the rad needed reaming out but it was so old and brittle I just got another one. Inside the top of the rad looked fine but it was plugged big time

Ive seen complete setups with all the bits go for 2-300. Ive seen the intake and carb only go for 100-200

For your gears, find an online gear/tire/ratio calculator and plug in values that will correspond to the cruising rpm you want. After you tune it up and figure your cruising speed for best mileage select your tire/ratio/tire so that it will be turning the best rpm for fuel mileage. I think...

SORRY, I PROVED IM AN IDIOT, i SAW THAT THIS WAS FOR SLANT 6 AFTER a posted!!!!!! Almost done installing the engine: a few more weeks to finish that and then tackle the wiring: 360 Magnum 1993, stock bottom end w/ hi vol oil pump, CR 9.1 stock magnum heads with multi angle competetion valve...

I saw once where a guy took a stock one barrel /6 intake took and a holley 350 cfm two barrel gasket to the machine shop and had the manifold machined to mount the carb. It worked extremely well.

I've see them free to 2-300. I've got the original tranny and engine from my car stashed in the garage. Try Craigslist, if it's bolted together and a running package it might be easier to move.

I have seen JB weld work on an exhaust manifold before.

Go for it I saw a guy who had taken his original 1 barrel manifold and machined it to fit a holley 500, put a marine camshaft in it, and a 150 horse shot of nitrous in a 67 Cuda with a 3000 stall converter and 3.91.....the result: 13.30 et

I am familiar with the autozone kit you mentioned which will not work with a 7 1/4 shock plates. You will need a 8 3/4 to use that kit. It has no block to accomplish the lift. The only difference is that the u bolts are about 3 inches longer than usual.

Is that a US /6 head next to the Argentenian one??

If you are running the Holley 1920 series it could be the "power valve", the metering block has an enrichment circuit that is supposed to work off idle and depends on two circuits that easily become clogged and not operating fully resulting in a bunch of gas being dumped in the intake and...

Dave thanks for posting the pics of the /6 with the Buick supercharger. I am convinced that when my V8 blows or wears out I will do something similar. I have loved /6's since my first car a 72 Gold Duster and have been talked out of doing a performance version of one but that won't work next time.

I have also seen a guy who machined his stock /6 manifold to accept a 350 cfm Holley 2 barrel which has the same bolt pattern as the 500 cfm version

As the old saying goes "if you want to play you have to pay"

Giggle gas, I saw a guy who picked up almost 2 seconds and 20 mph in the 1/4 with a 125 horse kit. Can find them for about 300 for a kit now.

If you use a carb like a 390 cfm Holley with a vacuum secondary and tune it to the engine it should work ok especially if you do some exhaust mods. I have seen hot slant 6 engines that ran a 750 cfm thermoquad very sucessfully. It all depends on how much you want to spend and how fast you want...
