My 383 loved the victor with my trick flow heads! Pulls so hard up top now that the rev limiter has more then likely saved it more then once

but he's running a stick. it can handle more cam then with the auto. I would love to do a 4 speed set up with my 383. I bet it would be a freaking blast to drive.

comp cams 294s. love mine.

I think a set of headers would be a nice upgrade. You can go ultra cheap and fight low hanging headers and fight with speed bumps or you could spend the cash and get a nice set and never look back. I will give my honest opinion here: the 273 is a wonderful little engine but will likely never...

Did you jet up also?

any advantage to the plastic?

got a part # ? 4 hole? or open? You let me know which one you wanna try and I will do a real world track test next month. Im talking about driving to the strip, running a couple base line runs, then throw on the spacer and see what it does.

yes i did. I wanted to see if it would pick up some down low. it did improve low and mid rpm power and in general feels more responsive and still screams up top.

360 OR 383? I HAVE TO CHANGE MY PANTS EVERY TIME IS SEE THIS!

i am worried that the rear drums wont have the braking power to lock up the rear. what about a ford exploder rear with disc brakes?

falling out of where? the pump diaphragm?

I do not YET! that is going to be my next investment. if i had that i would know exactly what was going on.

i had the hood off the car and yes it was cold. like 40* cold. i do have a thermostat, its a 160* the car was running right at 165* it was warmed up too. it has always idled rich. it was even worse before i got the timing set. i am at 22* initial and 36* total all in by 3000rpm (with medium...

i jetted it down in the summer when i first got it fired up. it was pig rich. would foul the plugs. got the timing curve figured out then idle mixture then did the jets. i got 72 up front and 82 out back. ran great up until the other night. jets have been the same all along.

at cruise speeds if i give it about 1/4 throttle it just stumbles and sputters and pops long as i hold it there. like if i wanted to pass a car on the highway. soon as i stab the gas it cleans right up and takes off. it just started too. i will do the vacuum check on power valve. thats what i...

i guess taking the front bowl off and the front metering plate is a good move on all accounts. can check for sludge and check the power valve. will the power valve be noticeably blown just looking at it? how do i check it? or is it just a good idea to change it if its apart?

dude you rock! thanks for the video. if it were wrong and it bottoms out would it tear the diaphram and leak into the carb or on bottom side onto intake?

thank you! how much clearance on the accelerator pump arm? i never touched it outta the box. just set floats. idle mixture by vacume and then curb idle. then i jetted the carb down 2 sizes all way around. it did pop once a little while back up thru the carb when it was cold starting. might have...

i have the msd pro billet dizzy with the mech. advance. i wonder if the inside got corroded and is limiting advance or its hanging up. i have heard horror stories about the new gas causing problems inside the carb if it sits too long too. i have a fuel cell with the foam inside. wonder if...

hey guys. i had my 383 dart out the other day for a short drive. it has developed a wierd problem. this is all new and all of a sudden. at cruise speeds 2000-2500 rpm it runs great. then at idle its perfect. at WOT runs like a raped ape. i was cruising in high gear. 2700 rpm. give it about...

my post was blatant plagiarism of the advise given to me by cracked back. lol

sounds like we have established a couple things here. 1. the carb is wrong. 2. you need some solid info about your tune. Here is what I would do. I would swap on either a new or known good running 750 dp. with mech. secondaries. I would then address timing. I would start with the cam. i...

now we need to see how much nitrous it will take....... lol. this is an awesome dyno thrash with real world numbers.

these guys are chevy folks. my dad had his 383 freshened up between seasons by them. the car went 11.80s before rebuild and went 12.50 after rebuild. this was 8 yrs ago but that is what we got out of them. cope brothers does good work. Water house machine went out of business recently or i would...

you will get a very significant vibration. my dads demon runs elephant ears and the car vibes really hard. like you cant leave the ash try open or you will have ash all over the car. it gives a very distinct feel.

I used the Penn break in oil when i fired my engine for first time and broke in the solid lifter cam. It made it thru the break in and will be the only oil the engine see's for the rest of its life. I would pay $20 a quart knowing it would keep my cam from wiping a lobe.

****. after the 10 yrs it took to get my car driving again i am just happy that its load, fast and will fry the **** out of the tires. I will take what i can get. loll.

that combo will be hard to keep tires on the back. love it!
