I was hoping I could get a recommendation for a jet size that will be suitable for a daily driver. I currently have a rebuilt 1971 - 225/6 bored 30 over with stock cam , a Carter BBD and 2&1/4 exhaust pipe with stock Walker muffler.. The motor is broken in already. It is getting poor gas...

Dutra Duals? Clifford headers?

I have an after market Dorman exhaust manifold and am running a 180 thermostat. The temp at idle is about 200 - 205 degrees

I am running newly rebuilt 225 super six motor on my 71 Scamp. Currently I have an older exhaust system with 1 7/8 pipe throughout with a stock muffler. The motor s running hotter than normal and I have a new radiator , condenser, thermostat, fan shroud and seven blade fan on the car. I think it...

I ended up ordering the Holly r8691 from the same listing on E bay last year. The motor has been rebuilt (1971 Scamp w/stock cam) The carb is popping ( seems like it is running lean) a bit. I have checked for vacuum leaks already and am wondering if I need to re jet drill out the jets to make...

Nice Scamp! I have the same set up 225/6 w/ac and am in the process of doing a complete overhaul (rebuild engine w/2bbl Holley, and repaint).I plan on using a stock exhaust manifold and adding 2inch exhaust pipe instead of the 1&3/4 .Yes, I love the color and will repaint the same! Regarding the...

I am trying to decode the casting #`s on my slant 6. They are 2806830-2 I also see another set of #`s - 11238 and letters AM. Can anyone crack this code? Thanks

I just received my super six manifold and assemblies and am ready to start planning to reinstall. The super 6 2bbl manifold I bought came with a Carter BBD and will need to be rebuilt. I understand that some of the super 6 `s came with a Holley 2280 and was just wondering how they compare...

I have 225/6 in my 71 Scamp (daily driver) and understand that this motor has a longer stroke and thus more tourque. I would like to get more low end performance and sill have decent highway car. I am wondering if changing the stock rear end gears in a 7 1/4 is possible and if so what gear...

Thanks, what kind of gas mileage are you getting ?

As a fan of the slant 6 I have been thinking of converting to the super 6 set up. The parts are hard to find. I think I just need intake manifold 2bbl carb, throttle, and kick down linkage. Not sure if I need anything else. If I am able to do this what should I expect in performance?, gas...

Thanks, it does not have a bar on it now and has 14 inch wheels. It does not handle well at all. I was thinking of ordering the tubulat 1 1/4 to compensate for the slightly smaller solid bar to have less weight but am not sure what to do

Just want to know your opinion. I have a 71 Scamp 225/5 w a/ac. I am purchasing a Hellwig front sway bar and am not sure which one to buy. They make a 1 1/8 solid and tubular bars and a 1 1/4 tubular bar. The tubular bars are lighter. What do you think? Thank you.

You kmay want to replace the ignition coil. They can have intermittent failures and could make the car run poorly.

I am going to adjust the valves on my 225/6 and could use some advice. Do you think I should retourqe the head first? If so how many lbs? Should I do this when the engine is hot or cold?

I just got my 71 Sacmp 225/6 back on the road. I am only getting 13 miles per gallon (between St and highway use). I have added new points ,condensor, cap,rotor, carb, plugs, exhaust manifold, and more.What can I do to increase mileage? The engine idles smoothly at low rpm`s and the car eases...

Good luck with your car. I have a 71 Valiant I am trying to get back on the road. I can use a spare 1bbl carter carb if you have one. Thank you.

Thanks, I have a carb rebuilding kit. Why are the different thicknesses to the base gaskets? which base gasket works best thinner or thicker?

Thanks, I did rebuild the carb before I took the car off the road. It is a Carter 2bbl and pretty easy to install the kit. I really did not adjust the floats just put them back in the same way. I also had to turn the distributor all the way to advance to make it run. If I installed the timing...

I just started working on my 71 Scamp. My HOA wants to tow it away because it is not registered. I stoppped working on it 10 years ago after insatlling the head, timing chain, distributor, new wires, water and pump. The 225 / 6 still runs like crap. The motor spits out black smoke anf the air...
