    650 proform carb leak down troubles

    By johnnycuda

    Hey all when ever i start the car cold overnight she starts right up. After i take a ride and start it lets say any where from 10 minutes to 2 hour later she does not start right up. I must hold the gas 1/8 to 1/4 down and it takes a good 7-10 secs before she kicks over. I noticed the front see threw bowl emptyies out alittle but i do not see it leaking down looking inside the carb? and it does not leak on the manifold. this carb is fairly new and it was over $500 bucks. Is there a gasket i... Read more

    High Mount Power Steering Brackets

    By dkamp

    On an 86 318 I have a need for a High mount power steering bracket since my Steering Gear is in the way for a standard mount, I tried the Saginaw pump will not fit. I was told that the high mounts were used in 1978 to 1983 with AC and has an Air pump. Is this true? If it is can anyone post a Parts Manual image and also show Part numbers? Or if you have a High Mount Brackets would you consider selling them? This would really help me tremendously!

    2.10 low,,,,,

    By gregsdart

    I am going to a 2.10/1.39 gear set in my Torqueflite. I have managed to get consistent at well prepped tracks, but with my combo and power level the chance of tire slip on occasion is still there. Frankly, i had thought i was good, but new power pushing me to 8.50 showed me otherwise.

    By Syleng1

    Does anyone know the size of the stud for the starter? I looked at a new “kit” and $28 for a stud and bolt online is foolish when all I need is a stud for $4.00 (grade 8 from local hardware store.) length and diameter I thought it was 7/16” x 2” but not 100% Thanks in advance Syleng1

    Difficult Shifting Issues

    By carfreak6970

    So it has come time to approach the experts (this forum) on my shifting issue: So the vehicle is a 67 Dart with a 383 and a 4 speed. I can only assume the trans is original to the car, I know the engine is not. I rebuilt the transmission during the restoration in this thread and only have about 2,000 miles on the entire car. Due to ignorance I was chasing engine running issues that may or may not have done damage to the transmission. Those drivability issues have since been... Read more

    Low oil pressure

    By eestatic

    Greetings FABO. My first posting in over a decade . I'm finally getting back to my 65 Barracuda after it's been sitting for a long time! Anybody ever put new tires on a car only to watch them decay? A quick update: About 11-12 years ago I rebuilt a 74 Dart 318 and put it in my 65 Barracuda. I went one size up on valves on the stock heads and home polished the intake runners, and have a Comp 268 flat tappet cam. Crank turned .010 and .030 pistons. Reaching back in my memory, one...

    W9 Flow Testing

    By Earlie A

    First time I've had a W9 on the flow bench. For such a large intake valve (2.195") the low and mid lift flow aren't good at all. I was expecting 380 on the top end. Ended up 370ish. After doing some digging on line it seems that 365 is pretty common for a standard CNC head. Seat angle is 52.5 deg which explains the poor low lift flow. Top cut is 45 deg and about 0.100" long then transitions to the chamber. Look at that chamber angle - 60 deg. The chamber actually tilts back towards... Read more

    1.01 or 1.03 Torsion Bars

    By Moparguy Ron

    I’m getting ready to do a winter front-end teardown on my 1970 340 Duster (owned it since late 1970!). I'm upgrading the original front end with a set of black graphite poly bushings and looking to swap out my stock .870 bars. Looking for a good, clean used set of 1.01" or 1.03" A-body bars (the shorter 35.75" length). I don't mind surface rust or old paint, but they must have sharp hex ends and absolutely no pipe wrench teeth marks or deep gouges in the center sections. Let me know what... Click to expand...

    Main Stud Girdle vs Ductile Iron 4 bolt Caps

    By Jax

    I am in the process of rebuilding my small block. it is a 360/410 stroker, with Indy W2 heads and all the required stuff that will make between 550 to 600 hp. During the last build, I was using the main stud girdle. From your experience, which one is best for providing more support for the HP range my engine will be handling? It may see some Nitrous action with around 700 hp to the crank.

    It’s finished!

    By brodphish

    Last November I started a thread on this forum asking if I should build an existing 273 or use a 360 crate motor for my build. In the end I did neither, having a 318 stroker built to 394. It was quite a journey and 10 months later it’s back on the road.

    Model show!

    By niceolddart

    I'm going to my first model show with an old friend & 2 other guys Saturday. We're bringing a couple models each to display & hopefully mine won't be too bad compared to some others. I've seen stuff guys built on this site & some on You Tube & there is some pretty damn good builders out there. I will get better over time, I hope, but I am pretty excited about going. It'll be cool to see some of the builds & maybe get some ideas while I'm there.

    By 1966Post

    Have an opportunity to pickup a very low mile 5.7 Hemi from a 2004 Ram 1500 Potential goal would be to install in my 79 W200 with a carburetor and onto the existing NP445 transmission In performing some initial research appears the aftermarket intakes are more based for the later 5.7 engines Anyone have input on options for the 2004 Gen III engines? Thanks in advance

    Driveshaft loops: Chevy level stupid or necessary evil?

    By jos51700

    I had a driveshaft loop on my car. Had. Just did a clutch and some other junk and it got kicked under another car and I forgot about it and put the driveshaft back in without it. Street car, no slicks, no power (5.9 stock Magnum), but the scary part is the no talent driver. This is the one that bolts under two of the trans cross member bolts. I think US Car Troll sells them. It's painted orange. Should I pull the driveshaft again and put it in, or is it kinda stupid? I'll do clutch drops... Read more
