Knocking and clicking noise from under the hood? Check the grill for a Chevy emblem.. Sorry, couldn't help it..

I have never run the Schumakers, but they are well regarded as a well built, very easy to install header. They are also quite small, and will restrict your total engine output some what. If you are looking to be in the 450-500 HP range, I wouldn't worry too much. If you haven't already...

Weren't they something odd like 4 bolt covers?

They should be either a "516" casting, or an earlier version thereof. If they are stock, they will have a smaller exhaust valve than your '72 heads, 1.60" Vs. 1.74". Stock flow on the older heads is worse than the '72 castings. The early heads are a closed chamber design, and will gain you a...

Google "383 resto to rad". It's a good article on building a 383 from stock to pretty stout, using basic bolt on parts. On a stock 383, a bigger carb was worth 10 HP and 20+ ft. lbs over the stock carb, which is about the same size as your 650. I really like the RPM intake also.

I did a cheap 440 for a friends all steel '67 dart, stock bottom end, ported 915's, Street Dominator intake, 850 Holley. I used the .484" cam, stock rockers. Without even a jet change, it ran 12.30's at 108 on used dirt track tires with 3.23 gears in the rear. A switch to 4.10's got 12.1 at...

"Caddy Hack" I believe was the name of that atricle. They did put a 440 in a Dart for another article. Used engine, 509 cam, single plane, headers, low gears. They finally got a "corrected for sea level" 12.90 something out of it.

Another member with quite a bit more experience than me gave me a jet recommendation a good bit higher than I'm at now. I hope to do that, and get a few pulls on a chassis dyno before snow sets in. There is a place in Mass that supposedly gives you 3 pulls for $75. Thanks again fellas.

I tried looking up the micron rating of the inline BG filter, but had no luck. As I recall it was in the 10 micron range though, and it IS before the pump. I can interchange the paper element for a mesh type, or just re-do the system to put it after the pump. Thanks for the help.

Only to check the reluctor gap. It was close, but a little tight. It took a few tries, but I got it set per the instruction sheet.

The cell doesn't have a strainer that I am aware of. The filter is a Barry Grant item, about 2" in diameter X about 12" long, 1/2" inlet/outlet, and uses replaceable cartridges. I hope to get the car on a chassis dyno soon with some larger jets in it. I am running out of stuff to check.

Checked yesterday with a good quality gauge with a bleed off valve so I could see if it dropped when it started flowing. Gauge read 8 Psi, and the bleed off shot a 20 foot stream of fuel out when I cracked it. Would being way under jetted do the same thing? I am guessing fuel demand is...

Thanks for the help guys, I'll try and answer all your questions. The missing is a very audible backfiring out the exhaust, with a pronounced shudder through the car with each one. You have more time to notice it in high gear, and it's on it's face and popping not much after 5,000, and really...

Howdy guys, I have a bit of a puzzler. I decided way late in the season to get my long sitting Barracuda going. I put together a mild 383 for it, the engine is: 9.9:1 actual compression, ported closed chamber heads, Performer RPM intake, 750 DP Holley with Proform main body, (supposed to bump...
