    Any value to 63 dart parts: SB manifold/carb/air cleaner/air box hangers

    Hi folks, not sure if this is right place for this, perhaps for sale, but not even sure some of it is worth anything. I'm getting rid of my extra stuff from my 63 work and instead of throwing it away wondered if it had any value to any members or world at large. I have the following: 1. a single...

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    Well took her for a ride and it was the most insane feeling to pull up to a stop sign and the car not choke and die, didnt have to put in neutral and rev her up, just stopped and the car idled at 600-700 rpm and it felt wonderful. I'd forgotten what it was like I have been fighting this problem...

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    Got the new chinese carb yesterday and after a bit of effort to get fuel into it, the old girl is running very well. It was idling at 300 rpm as I was getting a screwdriver to turn up the idle. It was running at ~700 rpm great so will get it set in gear now and take it for a run. Thanks for...

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    Thanks, yeah. I retarded the timing to see if that would calm the dieseling from an advanced setting. I went out to work on the car and increased the timing to around 10-12BTDC and dropping the idle below 1k, died. I had been noticing the sound of the carb and had noticed that I could see...

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    I was playing with timing a number of times, getting different opinions on the timing. I dropped it to 5 to see if this was a cause of the dieseling. Spark plugs were replaced a little over a month ago, old ones looked to be fuel fouled less than 1k miles.

    So I asked about this carb up-thread, can anyone comment on it? Premium Carburetor Type Carter BBD High Top For DODGE 273 318 5.2L V8 1972-1985 | eBay Is there a way to have a carb checked out? It was rebuilt ~1000 miles ago and ran great for a number of years.

    Thanks for the tee info, knew it had to be that way so gotta go find a good tee to use to fit with the reducer to the vacuum gauge. Ill try the timing and vacuum check RR mentioned and the other stuff this weekend. It has been cool here in PNW west side, sposed to be warmer this week.

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    Thanks for the replies. So timing is 5BTDC right now, I have tried it higher and lower. 12BTDC and TDC. No change. I have tried using vacuum gauge to get highest value, ~17". Engine still wants to take a dump if I go below 1k or so. Wondering if I should get a replacement carb but I am not able...

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    After I replaced the gaskets I adjusted the screws to 1.5 turns. Ill give that a try. Any ideas to check fuel pressure other than a tee in the fuel line? Im looking for a brass tee to fit the fuel line and a vacuum gauge.

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    So carb bolts were tight, but I removed it and the spacer and cut some gasket material to put both above and below the used spacer. Fired it up and still cant get below 1k rpm. Moving on to the other things. BTW I am going to order a new flange gasket for the holley do I need to have carb...

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    thanks for the input. Ill check and yes cam was degreed at build time. BTW it ran great for several years then I had overheating problems which I finally resolved a couple or three months ago. I used the vacuum gauge to set the idle screws at around 17". I have tightened the carb but perhaps...

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    Yes I am believing it does have a dashpot and timing has been 5 btdc and the idle as you can see if set pretty high so Im trying to get that down below 1k and find why it will just die after idling for a short while when set below 1k. thanks, Lefty. From a lefty also.

    Slant six Holley 2280 stalls when stopping

    I am reviewing this all to go over again. Bewy's post today: Wanting to stall under braking sounds like fuel level in the carb is too high. So check float level, any binding, etc & condition of n/s. High fuel pressure will also raise fuel level. Dang what a mess I seem to have created here...

    AJ's post from yesterday sez: Ok maybe this; after the lash is reset; you must do a compression test, and do it correctly by, at WOT, cranking until you get two consecutive same or similar numbers on every cylinder. The results must be even or close to even, between all cylinders. I like numbers...

    Slant six 1920 stall

    Checked and set float level a few weeks ago and needle and seat were new as part of a rebuild abut 500 miles ago but several years. I am looking for a tee to connect my pressure gauge into the fuel line to check fuel pressure while running. Might try lowering the float a bit. Wish i had EFI...

    Latest update, I finally got a chance to get back on the Dart this week. A couple of weeks ago I installed an electric choke so that part is taken care of now. I tried to check fuel pressure with my pressure/vacuum gauge. Tee'd into the fuel line with the tee supplied with my gauge but it is a...

    63 Dart convertible attaching the top

    I checked Hydroe and they do not have the well liner but CTG does and it is listed at $89 which is quite below what I have seen so am concerned about quality. Can anyone vouch for the quality of the liner? Thanks

    Forgot to add that when I replaced my plugs they were less than 1k miles and seemed pretty fuel fouled. There is also some slight dieseling when shutting off.

    I also found my paperwork for the cam I got from Oregon Cam #819, intake and exhaust clearance is listed at .012. Found that I do have a fuel pressure gauge on my OTC along with vacuum gauge. Ill check timing and fuel pressure tomorrow. Been crappy rainy here.

    Thought it was around 5btdc but I have been doing so much messing around trying to iron out all the other odd crap, Ill have to check it again tomorrow. Surely hate the thought a a bad torque converter, how do you even go about checking that? Is there something else that might mimic that...

    Thanks, K6. So I have no pressure gauge nor pump to generate pressure other than my small air compressor. Do you have suggestions on the tools and how to proceed? This is new to me.

    Slant six 1920 stall

    got back from Methow and ran through the carb, adjusted the floats to 9/32 and cleaned the bowl out as there was a bit of crap there. Took out the idle screws and blew out the idle circuits and others. It runs better now but warm idle in Park is 1300rpm in gear it drops to 500rpm. Driving and...
