    Super Six Exhaust

    I ran 2 1/2" front to back, to a super turbo, then a glasspack next to the gas tank to quiet it down a little. I also opened up the outlet in the manifold. power was pretty decent. for a slant.

    Cheapest ways to increase power

    yeah but a 318 would see much larger gains from simple things like a good exhaust headers intake and 4 brl.

    Cheapest ways to increase power

    best bet would be to buy a donor a body, a 4 door with a v8. it would scoot pretty good with a set of headers dual exhaust and a dual plane intake wit ha small 4 brl. the same upgrades you would get a much better improvement than if you did that to the slant. your going to have to shave about...

    1bbl or 2HELP!!

    it makes a nice difference once you go to a better flowing exhaust. i was never able to get better than 18 mpg average to the tank with my auto though, and it runs good.

    Rebuilt engine, bent push rods?

    possibly new valve guides that are too tight. they got hot on the exhaust side, expanded and made the valves too tight.

    Where do you buy your exhaust?

    exhaust work in some areas has gotten to be expensive. im 30 and i remember when you used to get duals with cherry bomb turbo mufflers at this one shop for 160, if it was a big car or some real creative bending it would go up to 225. my uncle had duals put on his truck with universal hi flow...

    "Charlie" has Overheating probs- Here are my Clues and please chime in with opinions!

    i always wondered about using something like evaporust in a cooling system, then a guy on another site brought it up, he said flush the system till its pretty clean, drain it, put 2 gallons of evapo rust in, run it till it gets warm, let it sit a day or 2. drain the system collecting the...

    "Charlie" has Overheating probs- Here are my Clues and please chime in with opinions!

    is it a verticle core or cross flow? using a garden hose with the hoses off should tell you if its clogged if it doest back up with full volume from the hose, its probably fine. i had the exact same thing going on with my duster. one day i drove it for 3 hrs on the highway in the dead of summer...

    "Charlie" has Overheating probs- Here are my Clues and please chime in with opinions!

    pull the threaded plug out of the block on the passenger side with the water full. see if water comoes out. i had very similar issues. this car sat a long time and i dont know if critters made a nest in the engine or what but there was tons of **** in the cooling system and i would flush and...

    If you had $2K to play with...

    maybe you would get a bog if you cant tune or the secondaries open too soon. i think you should buy my 74 225 with 78 super six setup. that is a good start for you. lol.

    is this a good deal?

    yeah i dont really know why guys would come into the slant six section of the site and tell a guy he should just go with a v8? i think the slants are pretty cool and i already have abig block 69 dart. i like mine in my duster, i like sound with the exhaust i built, its got ok power. not bad. i...

    is this a good deal?

    i was going to offer you my slant six setup as i started reading this but i see you bought it. complete running 74 225 and 904, odometer reads around 70,000, i swapped on a complete 78 supersix setup, opened up the outlet of the exhaust manifold, full 2.5" cutome made single exhaust with super...

    found super six, worth picking up?

    2 brl and bigger free flowing exhaust will help. if you dont upgrade exhaust, you wont gain much.

    carb problems?

    make sure you give the throttle lever a good wiggle and check for any play in the shaft bores before dropping a dime on a rebuild kit.

    fuel issue after car sits.

    i am really starting to think mine is boiling in the carb. the other day i want to spray out the carb after driving it and when i opened the throttle a big cloud of boiling steamy gas came out of the intake. i checked the heat riser in the manifold and it was froze again. every time i drive the...

    fuel issue after car sits.

    i still find it hard to believe the fuel evaporates all the way down to the pump in just 1 day or even a few hours? i can see the fuel evaporating from the carb there is more surface area in the bowl but 5/16 line only has a tiny little bit of srface area, on my car the filter will be bone dry...

    /6 single or dual exhaust?

    go with one big pipe unless you are going to run some kind of split manifold or header. i made my system, a 2.5" mandrel bent system with a super turbo and a glass pack for a resonator. its quiet enough that i dont feel bad for the nieghbors when i decide to start it at 530 when i use it as a...

    What Box ?

    i keep hearing the orange boxes went to crap recently. i wanted to try one from fbo, but i heardthe same about his, and his are "supposed" to be superior to evryone else. mount it underthe battery tray, no one will see it, its away from heat, and it will get some fresh cool air.
