I would sell that motor and and drop in a magnum 5.2 from the junkyard better cam better heads better compression and roller camshaft and put a cheap rpm air gap and summit headers 600 cfm carb. Think of it this way everything you’re going to be doing has already been done to a stock 5.2...

Update so car is running great but when I’m looking at my vacuum gauge at Wot I have 1 inch of vacuum, then once the secondaries open I believe it hits 0 inches. Does this mean I need my secondaries to come in a little quicker?

I dunno that just doesn’t look safe, that motor would have to be chained down because if it shifts up it’s going to push on the steering shaft. Wish there was some better picture cause it looks like it’s resting on the manifold……….

What’s the date code on this? 1572 some the research I seen it’s from 1992?

I’m thinking primary’s will be around 68-70 as well. the carb out of the box had 66 primary and 67 secondaries metering plate and always felt it had a lean surge. (I swapped the plate to run conventional jets in the rear) The 72/74 ran great no surge I don’t see any soot on my bumper or any...

I don’t have a AFR gauge planing on buying one this weekend!

Update, So I jetted down the primaries from 72 to 66 Stock jet size and engine lost some vacuum and I had to raise the idle a hair. Now for sure there is a WOT hesitation only on WOT no where else, it’s a slight hesitation. Why would I lose vacuum from a jet swap? I’ll probably stick the 72s...

I actually do have a dash vacuum gauge for my 67 barracuda! @Mattax this is how I got my readings

If I have a 3k stall wouldn’t I want to have enrichment from the power valve sooner vs later @AJ/FormS ? Thanks for everyone’s replies! I really do appreciate everyone’s input and personal opinions I just installed the 10.5 power valve and wow, really responsive off the line at WOT, but I...

Thanks AJ yes this Cam combo I have is really great, the next thing I would do to it is add 1.7 rockers since I already have the magnum heads! Boost my lift and keep the duration the same would probably run good with my 3k stall

318 mild camshaft 9:1 CR .453 lift 264 duration

Hey guys I been reading up on Holley seems like there’s two ways to select a power valve, which one do you guys use? In gear warmed up I am at 15 inches of mercury and cruising light throttle I am at 22 inch or mercury

Headers baby!!!!

No need to apologize @1966Post is just making himself look like “this generation” which cries when they don’t get what they want..
