Probably due to the last 23 posts ....

I had a spool in my Swinger for a very short time . It is doable but a pain in the arse. Forget about moving your car around the garage without starting it !

I was hoping to see what you did with the opening of the plenum . Did you compensate for the difference in base thickness between the front and the back ? Seams like fuel distribution would be uneven . Did that make any sense to you ?

Can you describe the work you performed ? Pics would be great ! I am running a Victor as well.

I was being funny .. I ride dirtbikes / race vintage MX and understand how oil ratio effects air fuel ratio . Most riders do not understand this .

Did we just switch to 2 strokes ? Lol

Now I will be afraid to ask for advice on tuning my TR ...lol

That is actually a good point . I have never thought of it that way.

You need a timing light with a tach .

I think your numbers look good for cruise but using 1 O2 sensor can throw you off . Maybe 1 or 2 cylinderss are leaning out ? I am having my engine dynoed on Nov 6th and plan on trying this out while I am there . This old guy locally actually had W2 dyno headers with individual O2 sensors and...

1965 Coronet 500 440 New Yorker engine refreshed 484/284 cam Tm7 intake & 850 DP Hooker headers 3.91s 12.90s Also ran a 284/484 in a 340 with ld340 in a 4sp Dart. High 13s...

Oh ... you are refering to water passage . Don't think it will make a huge difference unless he is in AZ . Might help in noerthern climates.

Well since W2s have no heat crossover it really wont matter if they want one .

I think many not running vacuum advance just plain don't know how it works or assume anything with a vacuum hose is emissions related. As for those K&N filters on modern cars I have been told the oil can contaminate the mass air flow sensor. Makes sense ...

I had 2.76 gears and 25" tires . No O.D

I love the sound of those Aprilias !

3.91s and 24" tires ?

Hit 145 in my70 Charger once.. and only once ! Things are going by really fast and that old car was starting to lift off ...lol Have also exceeded the 150 mark in several modern cars (2017 NSX , Porsche 911 Turbo , GTR etc) and 1 motorcycle . Not as butt puckering in a supercar or Sportbike .

My brother had a similar problem on his Firebird . Turned out to be the fuel pump. When hot it couldnt keep up . Worth checking fuel pressure cold and hot ....

I have been chasing a slight idle roughness and burble under 2000 rpm for a few years now . Checked for vacuum leak , tried several carbs and 1000 different jet / air bleed / timing combos . I decided to try new intake gaskets and bought a set of Edelbrock embossed intake gasket and some...

Not a bad video with steps. Not a mopar but process is the same.

You should search for AJs tuning tips and do them in sequence. He does a great job of explaining the steps and reasoning behind them . Your build is pretty straight forward and fairly mild . It should idle around 750 and be smooth thru the powerband . Did they by chance adjust your valves ...

I've only driven mine as far as the street...turned around and went back to the garage to finish body and paint. GETTIN CLOSE!

I like it ! We dont drive full theottle all the time anyways. Its kinda like hockey.... the average NHL player only has possession of the puck for about 45 SECONDS in an avg game ! And we dont drive full throttle much more than that on the street. So unless you are racing a rod course it...

Any feedback on how well it worked?

When I spoke to him he made it sound like it is a bolt in procedure.

I am building a similar car and chose to go with the Mcleod RST and their 20 lb SFI flywheel. I have not run it yet so I cant say about performance. I also got a Clutch Tamer but for the life of me cant see how or where you can install it in an A-Body due to the handbrake and column placement...

I have been browsing the archives with no issue logging on. What a great forum for in depth technical info !

His wife is trying to find someone to manage the site. I hope she does....so much deep tech info.

Are aerodynamics different on the track vs the highway?
