Very cool also!! I too was on a tiger cruise with my son. At the time he was the Master Helmsman on the nuclear cruiser the South Carolina. I was on the bridge one day, the captain to my right and my son to left at the helm. I took this picture at just the right moment when they shot a...

1970 Plymouth Superbird. Hemi, 4 speed, lime color. Engine was prepped by Mr. Landy himself. Had a cross ram, big hookers, bigger cam, yadda, yadda. The guy that took me a ride was the cousin of my boss at the time. Took me out on a 2 lane, just into 4 gear and we were over 155 mph. He...

Need not pump it more than 2 times to the floor at the most, otherwise it will flood the crap out of it. The carb has pumps front and rear and yes does have a choke and yes the acc pumps are putting out good solid streams and yes the bowls are full to where they should be. Mind you I have been...

Some updates to your responses. Good info on the Ethanol, especially the hydroscopic aspect...thanks. Yes it is a good electric fuel pump, with dual Fram filters coming out of the tank and a full return line. When I go to start I turn on the fuel pump and let the pressure come up to a steady...

John Cope built my 904. It has been in my 71 Swinger for over 10 years. 408 stroker making north of 500 hp has not shucked it yet.

Been up there 3 times. Once a young child with our family, then with my 2 boys and wife and the last time on my 1977 Gold Wing. Road was still not paved all the way. Was awesome.

Somewhere NW of the four corners area on my Yamaha FJR couple of years ago. 3,600 miles that trip.

If you are looking for someone to put together a 904 for you, see John Cope (Cope Racing Transmissions). He is in Lowell IN. I have had a 904 behind my 408 with 550+ HP for many years, street use. Not one hiccup!

My 1970 Chevelle SS 396 (L78!) 4-speed. Headers, bigger cam, bigger carb. Probably pushing 500 hp (do the research) Was a handful when I was 18. No problem spinning to 7 grand, but I did bust a few valve springs. Had highway gears in it, can't imagine what it would have been like with 4.88's.

Thanks to all for your thoughts...the car was doing the same thing before replacing with a "new in box" pertronix. The engine is totally stock and the new dist. does not have vacuum advance, just one he bought as a spare. I have been thru a hundred Q-Jets and had already checked all the...

I really need some suggestions. I am a Mopar guy, but my buddy has a 69 big block Chevelle and I am stumped. It has a Q-jet with automatic. When rolling about 40 mph in 3rd and you barely increase the throttle it starts stumbling and even loses all power until you back off the throttle a bit...
