I wont get carried away....!

Has anyone ever heard of this being used successfully and how is it not mainstream on cars today if it is so 'good'? A 5.9 Diesel (?) reported like 15% increase in torque and HP while decreasing NOx and CO by like 66% just by switching to a dimpled piston. Im going to be putting brand new flat...

There you go! :thumbsup: See if the divorced choke (the heated spring under that dome cover) even moves when warming from cold with a heat gun or something. Sometimes they break. If it does make sure its at operating temp and turn adjuster screw on side of spring (if it has one) or bend the...

I got a 63 dated (!) short block 45 miles south of Spring Fling. I have a 67 2bbl intake but no small valve heads.

I have a non AC 'S' and it had the hole. Buy that $23, that's a deal.

Is the choke all the way off? Id let that thing idle for about 15 minutes and then tap the gas to make sure the choke pulls off the high idle ramp. It should set choke to wide open and settle into a 600ish idle. IF the choke never opens, hitting the gas will cause is to sputter and die. I had a...

I took a 90 bend off the rad and ran a 12" piece of PVC to a flex hose up around the timing cover. worked great but if that 72281 Magnum hose works, let us know! Im running an early Mustang Aluminum radiator.

68 and newer is the break for small and large snout cranks/convertors. Get both >67 and youll be set. If you have a big newer convertor and a small crank, your SOL. other way around is doable with a Tflite Paddy (sp?) 1/8 wall bushing.

in gear and it dies sounds lean. Choked richens the mix (higher vacuum from the choke restrictions) and off idle its back to lean. Unscrew the mixture screw 1/2 turn and see if there is any difference. If not turn it back, its free. Another Gotcha is the fuel filter: if its horizontal, it can...

And we fuss over NOx levels with this elevated temp blend? Lame......

awesome PDFs for the 'ol Weber. Ill assume the (new) 18mm clearance is accurate for new style gasket and new floats per Redline as they probably sell the most WEBER cast carbs here in USA. I can get that measurement at the tip of the float. When they show it parallel to the top is were I lose it...

Gen 3 hemi is a drop in 250-340 CFM head motor. Hard to bet and cheap. Its just evolution. Good luck on the sale, W stuff usually sells but I cant quote prices.

you could lop off 5 of the 6 reluctors in a electronic distributor and have that as the cam position sensor as its a 2:1 rotation. 36-1 would be ignition trigger for a EDIS-6, really easy to do that as the EDIS knows the ignition timing after 1 rotation. Run LS coils if you dont do single coil EDIS.

The 2.94 rear will love you more with a 318 in front of it. a "High revving 273" is just a smaller bore "high revving 318". I F'd up my 273-4 and just moved all the parts on to a '68 318 short block. It felt faster than the 273-4. HP sells, but torque wins races. Read the fine print...

Just get better pistons. Probably cheaper.
