    Best intake manifold and carburetor for a 273

    I'd like to see a before and after, power run, to see the zero to 60 ET difference from no other changes than the 4bbl, including; shifting at the same rpm.

    Overheating on run stand

    Just asking; you got a direct drive 7-blade fan on it for break-in, in a shroud? 1) Easiest way to get the right timing is to leave the timing lite in the toolbox, reconnect the VA to manifold vacuum, then with the rpm set to 2000, just advance the distributor until the rpm quits rising. If the...

    How would you rebuild this 318?

    Waterloo is at 1000 ft elevation according to Wiki. That cam, in at 108, has an Ica of 59*. To make an average pressure of 141psi, your compression ratio is estimated to be about 8.85 to 1. Those are facts, Here are my opinions, and I'm sortof thinking it out as I go. > This makes your bottom...

    Valve Spring Estimated Delivery

    Hot or not?

    For the front, that is too much backspace About the most you can run with a 15, is 3.75bs. I once tried to run a 15x8 steel wheel with a 4.25"bs, and spent hours trying to make it work. In the end, I took the wheel to a wheel shop and had them cut the spider out and move it over to 4inches, and...

    Hood clearance Question

    367 here with Eddies, an AG, and a 750DP. In run my cooling system at 207*, and run unwrapped TTIs. No boiling/no percolation; at least not in the short term. I run a one-piece 3/8 fuel-line from pump to carb, isolated and free-standing off the engine, but still runs in a similar to the factory...

    8 3/4 identification. 391 gears

    Yeah I agree your question is rather vague. Do you want to swap it into your car?

    Yeah so that makes me wonder which one was the lie, or the deception as the case may be.

    1973 360

    In about 71/72, I weighed my 70 Swinger 340/4speed at the track, with me in it, it was 3330. I was 140. so 3190 to the Dart with a lil less than half a tank of gas, and the steel slapper bars. She had P/S, PDB, no radio but did have an 8-track and 4 speakers. Yes the jack was still in the...

    1973 360

    I had a low-mileage one in 78, and I concur; there was nothing turdy about the 74 Dart Sport 360/4-speed/3.55s. I think tho, that they were lighter than they looked. I sold that car in 80 right after my first baby was born, used the money to buy a 76 Volare station Wagon. 318 with air conditioning.

    1973 360

    The 74 360 4bbl was rated nearly Identical to the 73 340. except of course the 360 torque-peaked earlier. Those two engines had all the same parts bolted on to them, making the only significant differences, being their strokes. Furthermore, the only significant differences of the Net engines...

    Wheel Adapters

    That may be, but My opinion is this; I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and most of us high-schoolers ran those, on our A-bodies, to get 15s on the backs of our street cars. My Swinger was a DD, and in the 5 or more years I had it, she racked up a pretty good amount of miles; over two years worth...
