    Thoughts on triangular air cleaners

    K&N's are gauze and screen. Easy to get items to give it a try.

    Thoughts on triangular air cleaners

    I always thought that style looked good paired up on top a 671 blower or possibly a tunnel ram where they were trying to keep their view less obstructed. Look kind of cheap to me on a single carb engine.

    New Fuel Tank - Prep it for electric fuel pump?

    Everyone likes to enjoy the automotive hobby wherever it makes sense to them. There are guys out there that believe the only true hotrods are 29 ford roadsters or 32 highboys with flathead v8s. You go strait to he'll if you don't have 3 pedals. Only oxy/acetyl gas weld construction and pre 1945...

    Fuel pump arm swap SBM-SBC?

    I had to do that for a Desoto Hemi. Put the Desoto arm in a Chevy pump. Both were carters and was a easy swap.

    annular vs downleg

    Velocity can be slowed due to a larger manifold runner if the cylinder volume isn't proportionally increased by means of bore and or stroke. As an attempt to make up for this slower column or weaker signal at the base of the carb the booster can be swapped for a more sensitive design. This...

    Recommended carb for 440 Duster with 4 speed?

    750s Holley's are usually the easiest to find at a reasonable cost if you don't mind rebuilding. 3310 vac. Sec. Or 4778 dbl pump. Depending on your preference. See them at every swap or in everyones spare parts stash regardless of brand loyalty. Just beware of drilled air bleeds or missing...

    Standard Intake to Max Wedge

    I know a guy that put a factory max wedge cross ram on hog'd out 906s. He said he went thru several heads before he found a pair with enough meat. I know this was going the opposite direction of miss match to yours. Sometimes things can be made to work.

    Aftermarket Lock Ring Problems may be Solved. Please Read.

    The gauge I used is marked .064 for 14 ga. I didn't use a micrometer. It is an old McGrath StPaul American Wire Gage. Probably made in the 50s or earlier. Gauge stamped on one side decimal equivalent stamped on the opposite.

    Aftermarket Lock Ring Problems may be Solved. Please Read.

    Sorry about the dirty old original part and cell phone picture. My sheet metal gauge shows it to be 14ga. or .064 I am very sure about this. Fit perfectly into the 14 gauge slot. 13 & 15 ga. Not even close.

    Holley Rebuild Kit

    Perfect advise Rob, much to restrictive for performance use. Adding performance is the reason for using a dual line holley in the first place.

    Non Mopar carburetor opinion

    How'd those slots look when you flipped it over? Nice post AJ. I couldn't say it any better. I know that you wouldn't likely overlook this Rob, but hoping the plates aren't drilled causing this.

    Holley 650 DP Info/help

    You can change the secondary opening delay rate by getting a spring kit. The kit has an assortment of springs from light to heavy. The spring is located in the vacuum canister.

    phenolic vs wood carb spacer

    Phenolic probably would be safer and more durable but I would guess wood would have better insulating properties.

    Holley Secondary power valve ?????

    Can't think of a single good reason for the carb user to use one on the secondary side. Not the most dependable part in the the world for certain. Good for manufacturer selling the part. Tune the secondary side with the jet that your engine likes. They are a must on the primary side. Not as...

    holy grail hemi part arrived today!!!

    Looks like a fair deal to me. Mine was straight off the side of a diesel, paint-grease and all. I'd paid the extra 50.00 to have gotten mine that cleaned up. Looks like they cut the tabs off for you also. Have fun working on that beast. I know I enjoyed the learning experience that came with...

    holy grail hemi part arrived today!!!

    Good plan, is it ready to bolt on or a core like I started with. I bought mine for 200.0 But could have bought a new one for what it took to get it going. I didn't have to pay all at once, that helped. I also learned a lot doing it myself.

    holy grail hemi part arrived today!!!

    Or this, its not a Mopar though. I can't find any old pictures of 30s Mopar drag cars. Must not have been a popular choice back in the day Now the purple car is a Mopar but not a vintage racing picture, might be a street rod. Stole it off the web and know nothing about it. I would love to...

    holy grail hemi part arrived today!!!

    I pulled the blower off a jimmy diesel. Trimmed the tabs, Changed the end plates and bearings. Old cragar snout. Started polishing it all up, this will take awhile. Got a vintage idler on the way off of eBay. Still need the lower pulley, front cover and belt. It takes some time to do this...

    holy grail hemi part arrived today!!!

    I really like it a lot, knew what i wanted. I didn't settle for any other injector. Looks like its from outer space. These were popular from around 63-69.

    Looks to be a few early Hemi fans out there. I used to pass on them when I was younger on the hunt for 426 stuff, not anymore. I like them all.

    33 Plymouth would be my first choice if I can find one. Slingshot it will be if nothing comes my way. I like the way you do mopars 67cuda. Cool build threads you have going on.
