Buy, read and learn. There are similar books for Holley carburators. Also, you need to understand an engine is basically an air pump and can only "suck" in so much air. The ram effect can force more air in (as can turbos), but with natural aspiration, only 85% to 95% of an engine's cubic...
It's my understanding that an emergency vehicle cannot take the right away from you. Thought about fighting it in court, but figured I'd wind up in jail if not prison!
We figured my son lost about $15,000. Money out the door. Definitely a hard lesson to learn. Fortunately there is a small...
Not only did my son lose his first car bought with his own money, he lost his job, girlfriend and home! What a crappy set of circumstances to happen to a 21 year old!
Update on the son's 2015 Challenger. On May 7th as he was leaving my house to go to his new (for him) home, he was hit in the side by a Sheriff Deputy! Unbelievably they cited my son for a failure to yield the right away even though he was trying to get to a flat wide spot of the road on the...
Rderringer, introduce yourself in a new "welcome wagon" post and add a picture or two of your E-Body. Welcome from the Desert. These guys on this post have you covered for your particular question.
My 2¢: You should have stopped after you talked to Duane Porter. Not many Mopar guys better than him. Then you could have avoided the call with Hughes! A good lesson for others to learn from.
Green on green! AAR Cudas are just rare period! And with the different options, yes you get cars that are pretty dang unique. Probably only a few optioned like yours. Got to love Mopars!
With my 70 Challenger with the white interior, the package tray is black along with the dash and carpet. Steering column is black also.
My vote: your car, paint it the color you want. 🙂
Hey, number matching weenies have their place. 😜
It's nice to see an all original car from time to time. Sadly, few truly know what is 100% factory correct these days. But cars, in my opinion, were made to be modified and driven like a mad man (or woman) from time to time!!
I like to look at it like this. First there were two barrel carburators and Will Carter made the first Aluminum Four Barrel known as the AFB. Used on all the Big Three performance cars. Then Carter came out with the AVS (air valve secondary) that used engine vacuum to determine how much flow and...
Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Dad was a Chevy man until he realized Plymouth supplied better performance and gas milage than the bow tie crap! Fords and Found On Road Dead. I'd rather push my 64 Imperial up a 5 degree slope than drive anything other than Mopar (CDPD and Jeep)! @heminut will...
Find a good used Thermoquad and rebuild it. Can't find one, get a Holley Street Demon.
@Chryco Psycho is on the money, 2x the cubic inch of the engine.
Personally I would use a Thermoquad, but the Holley Street Demon is a great modern choice. I still think of Holley carbs as great race carbs, but suck for street use.
Believe it or not (I know because I had his ear), I was instrumental in convincing an Edelbrock regional sales manager to bring...
