    The “Ugly Torquer” intake

    At Edelbrock they don't know how to spell , so it's actually a Torker.

    Sizing carburetor

    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...

    Sizing carburetor

    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.

    Maybe I've learned a good lesson . . .

    I have a 318 in my Duster. All of my B bodies have been big blocks. Myself, I wouldn't even consider building up a 318 for a 68 charger . If you are keeping the 318 , a quality (NOT an off the shelf TCI, B@M, etc.) 3000 stall converter would give it a pretty good boost.

    Painting defect cause?

    If Armor All or a similar silicone based product has ever been used on the pieces, it can be a problem. Try some wax and grease remover. And if your spray gun is new , disassemble and clean it thoroughly .

    Port size rpm performer manifold question

    I don't own a Ed rpm, but I betcha it's 3/8 NPT. On my Speedmaster intake, the hole in that location is 3/8 NPT. Hole on PS next to thermostat housing is 1/4 NPT (on SM intake )which is what I used for my 1/2 heater hose. Hole next to it is 1/8 NPT, which I used for temp gauge. See pic :

    The specifics of converting an E Body 8 3/4 rear end housing to an A body 8 3/4 rear end houseing

    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 ...

    The specifics of converting an E Body 8 3/4 rear end housing to an A body 8 3/4 rear end houseing

    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...
