360 with gas carb...
360 with E85 carb....
set the floats...and it fired right up....had the idle screws at 1 1/2 turns out on all 4 corners...pretty rich...screwed in both primary and secondary screws on driver side...engine still ran...screwed in secondary idle screw on passenger side...it died....whew...glad it died....LOL
ended up with all 4 corners about 3/4 turn out....
instructions with the QFT metering blocks suggested increasing jets 8-10 jet sizes from the gasoline size....had 73-81 gas....pretty sure i went a little rich with 84-92.....got a case of CRS this morning...
I used those jets based on what i have in the QFT 950 E85 carb.....which has 86/94 in it....Have to get the LM-1 hooked up to it and see what i get

Um uhhh, YeaH!! :burnout:
Gaps and quality look good,on that hood.
Yeah...but too bad that hood is from the lousiest fiberglass company in the world....as i said..that is my second hood from them...got one on my demon..plus several bumpers
Must be unlimited...
I know that the one Kyle got from them a few years ago was pretty nice. Not like most of the complaints I hear from time to time.

There rear bumper for a Duster/Demon sucked...Bought it for my 71 Demon...and returned it.
Bumpers for 71 Dart were pretty nice...also have their front bumper on Demon...
The bumpers I just got from AAR Fiberglass..which got bought out....fit the Duster nice...but their finished is not very good...look like they glued the ends on after they came out of the mold...
Unlimited Fiberglass....
my only complaint...the scoop has to be cut open ...and i dont cut straight...lol

Easy fix. So easy you can take out the pump and have that washer installed in less than 10 minutes! Well 10 minutes is me, you probably 5 cause you done so many!
I have those depending on which one yours is. Is it Fiber or Metal? I had a hard time finding the Fiber one, had to buy a whole pack of thrust washers to get it. Do you know of anyone that sells them separate?
