Cool. I'll cobble some $ together and send one along. Not working due to COVID shutdowns but I have some parts to sell. PM me your mailing address.

Well I haven't heard from you in ages and thought you must have got it. It's been... what, over two years? I can't seem to find anything in my old box of receipts and UPS says it's way too out of date to figure out. Should I mail you a fuel pump? Still want the in-tank? Or is inline better?

****, it's been forever man! I reshipped the box by UPS, had to repack after they stopped the package for a little fuel leak. I had no idea you never got it? I was basically homeless for almost a year, a lot of stuff slipped by. I'll see if I can fond any old UPS shipping info.

Yeah for a stock motor there's no way she was going to use all of that gas, I went through multiple jets and needles to get it idling smooth and using all the fuel under acceleration, not to mention timing. It was all centered around that damn bog. Now that I have the timing where it needs to...

Well, gentlemen, I've come to a good point! Since installing the Edelbrock and intake, finally finding a good tune (.83 jets, 6552-ish needles, I'd have to double check, and 8hg silver springs with the accelerator pump on the top hole), she was running pretty good but stumbly. Finally went back...

Yeah I'm new to living at elevation, looks like either a blower or shaving the heads is the only way I'm gonna get her to wake up. Looking forward to my trip to Sacramento in a few days, 50ft above sea level and SO many nice cruising spots... but I know I'll be able to feel the difference at sea...

Maybe I need a Torqstorm... ;)

Howdy! Looking for an experienced recommendation for my build. First, the hardware; 1965 Plymouth Barracuda Stock reman Slant six 225: -Cliffy (not Offy!) Hyper-Pak -Edelbrock 1403 with small jets & fat rods (live at 6200ft so leaned out) -Stock exhaust manifold -2.5" mandrel exhaust/glasspack...

I use an MSD 6AL, with a 6500rpm limiter chip. Will never over-rev! Also I am looking for a carb with vacuum secondaries, as I'm a pretty chill driver. Also, I'm not certain that it will make much difference which brackets I use, as apparently the lokar kit will mate to both! I wish I had a good...

Amen.

Moe, the research is what I'm doin' here! LOL and good advice re: WOT Rusty, thank you! That's what I needed to know. I have the super six pedal coming, now gotta find the firewall bracket and such. I will likely use the lokar kick down kit and throttle linkage; I have been looking around and I...

I am picking up an Offenhauser 4bbl squarebore intake. I have a '66 Valiant Signet, 225 auto. I've already found a V8/Super six pedal, here are the parts I still need; -Carburetor (I want electric choke, and maybe 350-400cfm? Squarebore to match intake) -Carb throttle linkage (to match the...

Want to install (and buy, if you have 'em) long headers in my 66 signet. 225, PS, PB (soon), stock trans and engine. For now I will be running them with the stock one barrel carburetor and intake. Down the road I would like to have a hyper Pak intake. What do I need to know? Will I have to use...

Tekslk, my slant six doesn't have much use for the distributor from a 340 car ;)

Will running a vacuum advance electronic distributor eliminate my need to recurve it? It is certainly not yet a performance engine, and will not be for a while.

Fantastic! Now to search for one LOL

I have my 66 still running off points. I am looking for the easiest upgrade to electronic ignition, which should work well with my MSD 6AL. I see Pertronix has a $75 kit, is that what I need?

Those are some fantastic slants, guys! I am not sure exactly how far I am going to go with mine, but at the very least I know that stock isn't going to cut it ha ha... I better get to the drawing board and figure out. I saw that EFI kit over in the mechanical parts section, if he gets it figured...

I drive slow. I love underdogs and odd birds. For this, the slant is perfect for me. I want a bit more oomph but a bit more MPG as well. Please don't big down my happy slanty thread with V8 advice ;) My car: '66 Signet HT, black on black. Bucket seats, console shift. Soon to be upped with...

Saw some nice Mr. Gasket Valve Cover T-bolts.... what size does the slant take, guys? http://www.summitracing.com/search/product-line/mr-gasket-chrome-valve-cover-wing-bolts

Yeah all belts are off, I'll try the trans plate cover truck this weekend! Good advice.... I still have the option of just buying a running engine to bolt in, should all else fail :) Gettin' wood to pound those pistons with this weekend and hopefully my pushrods. They sure don't make this easy.....

Cudamark, I may just try that wit the wood if all else fails. As far as water? I live in wet, humid-air Berkeley. Ugh. lrazor: I found it to be seized when I tried to jump it, to get it fired up. Starter could not turn the flywheel- starter activated and just sat there torquing itself (you'd...

Yeah I'm using P'Blaster.... forgot the name. Heh.... Peanut Butter engine blaster.... I'll try that with the crank pulley. I know a guy who should have one.... but if any Bay Area brothers wanna chime in first with a spare.... :) I'll give it some love with the breaker bar and yeah I bet...

I have a '65 that has been sitting here for a while, it used to crank 2-3 months ago but now won't budge. I pulled the starter, removed the head and right now it's had PB penetrating oil/spray soaking in the cylinders for 2 days. Any other ideas on freeing it up? Also, how am I supposed to use a...

OK which screws? My 1920 only has one idle mix screw and the idle/accelerator screws....

Put on my carb, freshly rebuilt. I can't get the darn thing to fire up! It did start and it ran for a couple minutes but now NOTHING. Crank and crank, nada. I tried resetting the idle mixture screw to recommended (seat, them 2.5 turns out). No dice. Also tried a few different steps with fast...

I have a '66 with a 225 /6, and it's a 904 trans. The thing recently started sputtering and dying when in gear- runs/revs fine when in neutral or park. I brought the idle set screw up (more gas) and that does not help, but if I take it down it just dies. I have a 1920 carb, and MSD 6AL ignition...

At this point I think this project can wait! Guess it's time to start shopping for intake/headers/carb and s front disc conversion. That is of course, if I don't buy this bulletnose studebaker I am looking at! LOL I have too many cars already.

Well I want to stick with an automatic transmission, so Rumble I suppose that A-500 would be the one for me. Was it ever built to bolt up to a Slant 6? I thought (coulda sworn) I had seen AOD /6 cars before.... I do plan on installing power disc brakes, headers and carb but I don't think I'll...

So I went to JEGS and bought the MSD 6AL box/coil kit, with BOSCH platinum plugs and new silicone wires, etc. I can honestly say, this is the most striking change I have ever seen in the performance of a slant six! (have had 3). It idles smooth, warms up quick, has even and reliable...
