Howdy, I just got a 2 barrel cast iron intake for my 1984 /6. What recommendations do y'all have for a carburetor?? My truck is a manual transmission A833 overdrive unit. Thanks for your input!!

Howdy, I just got a cast iron 2 barrel intake manifold from a friend that will fit my 1984 225 slant six truck. My friend also included several carburetors, and the 2 barrel in the box is a Carter with number 2361 embossed just below the Carter Carburetor St. Louis USA embossing on the bowl...

Thanks for the reply. No problem, hopefully a "local" can pick those up from you. We have Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle, Pennsylvania coming up in July, I am sure I can find some goodies there too.

Thanks!! PM me with what you want for the setup and for shipping to zip code 22602 in Virginia IF you would ship. Thanks again!!

Thanks RedFish. The EGR has only a vacuum port and appears to be fine. I recently bypassed it, removed it and made a temporary gasket to insert under the EGR from a beer can. No change resulted. The vacuum diaphragm seems to hold vacuum with a handheld vacuum pump. When connected I can move...

It seems like some kind of a vacuum leak, but I cannot find any with a propane torch. Actually I see no change at all using the propane, and no change in engine speed even if I stick the open propane bottle into the mouth of the carburetor while running. I would have expected the rpm's to...

How about the one for the manual transmission?? For sale too?? Is the intake cast iron or aluminum? Thanks.

Copy and paste this: Sun Electric Tune-Up Chart, 1971 Mopar 225-Six and enter it into ebay search.

Have you checked the carburetor and made sure it is tight to the intake? I would also check the intake manifold to ensure it is not developing a vacuum leak also.

Actually beer is better for the suspension. It controls the "hops".

The type of water would vary with the vehicle type. If you owned a Demon you would want to use "holy water" to check the timing.

Thanks for the info. I think I will try about a 1K resistor to ground connected to the wiring connector to try to "fool" the ESC to not be retarding my spark since I am using an aftermarket temperature sensor. Currently the connector is unconnected, so hopefully the resistor will allow the ESC...

The catalytic converter was my thought too. I just had a new catalytic converter, muffler, and exhaust installed earlier this week, and still really no change in the lean spot issue. I'm stumped!!

Howdy, I am needing to know the ohms reading of the stock temperature sensor for a slant 6 with the idiot light and not the gauge. I need the ohms reading for cold and hot please. Thanks!!! My /6 is a 1984 pickup if that information is needed.

No, all of the parts are new and just fine. I just bought the truck last summer and I am still getting it "right". I have also replaced my timing chain and gears and installed a new harmonic balancer. I am just at a loss for the "lean spot" under load at the bottom end of my rev range. I am...
