What the all-knowing Bewy does not "seem to get" is that a fifty plus year old magazine road test involving three cars from different manufacturers tells us very little (IMO) about optimum carb sizing. And that 383 Super Bee ? That's the fastest stock one I've ever seen road tested in a...
I wouldn't trust your cam card as far as I can throw it, which means I wouldn't trust the cam either . Either cam lift or valve lift as written are incorrect. Card says 1.5 rocker ratio. 300 x 1.5 =450. 290 x 1.5 = 435 . 300 x 1.6 = 480. 290 x 1.6 = 464.

Yep, and the area of the outer wheelhouse that makes contact with the tire is very stiff and not easily "clearanced" with a big hammer . You can cut and modify the outer wheelhouse , but my car is already painted. In my case, I have a narrowing bar and pucks. If I ever get too annoyed by it ...
Well, here's my story : 72 duster . I put in an 8.25 out of a 75 dart. Meant to be a temporary rear so I could get 4.5 BC on the car until I could build a proper rear.. Put on 15x8 4.5 BS with 275/60-15. Clearance to the outside was great. Clearance to leaf spring was very tight. Would...
