Ok, slant 6 is possible, I would have been acquiring /6 parts way back at one time so this is possible.

I have these two brackets which are practically identical: Left one has a couple of nuts welded to it but otherwise seems identical to the one on the right. The one on the right has a few more parts bolted to it, a rod that was cut off (with a torch) and a cable. My best guess is that it...

The throttle cable hold-down is a little higher and closer to the carb (and the angle is different) for a 4-barrel setup? But why the difference in the transmission kick-down rod setup?

I sent you a PM.

Is there really a difference between 2 barrel vs 4? This is what I have now: That shaft with the U-shaped arm was welded on. This might have been done a long time ago when a polysphere 318 was swapped for an LA 318 and the bracket was re-worked. The U-arm is for the transmission...

I have these items, don't need them, I'm in Canada but I've shipped a few old parts to the US so I know it can be done:

I'm looking for a 1968 to 1970-something small block throttle cable bracket. If you're somewhere between Windsor and Woodstock then I can pick it up from you, no postage hassle. Send me a PM if you have one you don't need.

Is that really the most distinctive difference between the two? (I already know the answer, but I have to ask)

I know they put /6 in C-bodies. I had a Canadian '65 Polara 4-dr with a /6 (and a Fury interior and dash). A US Monaco / Polara in '67 got 383's standard unless maybe you special ordered a 318. In Canada the standard was a 318 unless you upgraded to 383 or maybe special ordered a /6 (it might...

I thought it would have been common knowledge as far back as 30 years ago that Canadian 318's in 1967 were still polysphere's, speculation is that they were the leftovers from the US. If there's an example of a Windsor-made Mopar in 1967 with a small block that is an LA block (not the "A"...

Remember, this could be a polysphere we're talking about, not LA block.

I'm looking at a '67 Windsor-built car that the VIN says had a 318 (which means it would have been a polysphere). The current owner (who to me has an unknown level of familiarity with vintage Mopar mech/tech) says the car has a 273. Maybe someone told him that, and he doesn't know any better...

What is this open cavity in the heads of my 318, and should I be concerned that it's not covered by a gasket or the intake manifold? (see area inside yellow circle) It's a semi-circular cavity, about as wide as my pinky finger, no idea where it goes, what it's connected to if anything.

I wanted first to see how this clone BBD worked, I think it idles better, but maybe with points I'm just not going to get a rock solid idle at the 500-550 rpm I want. I first ran it with the thin gasket they supplied, I was getting a very loud whistle from the throttle plates when I was...

What does it mean if I can screw the idle screws all the way in, and the 318 still idles at 500 rpm, vac is 14 - 15 ? This is with the china dromedary BBD clone. With the screws out about 1 turn, rpm goes up, vac goes up, about 17-18 inches. Either the screws are not completely blocking flow...
