ECS Automotive sells the rub transfer for the Chrysler VIN plate logo as well as the rivets-no-one makes a blank/replacement VIN plate. You can purchase reverse die stamps from any tool place to "stamp" raised metal data plates, VIN's etc. Its only illegal if the VIN you are attaching is...

Yeah the carbs were old. I bought rebuild kits for both of them and did the rebuild which seemed fairly easy. I made sure I cleaned everything out well with carb cleaner and the air compressor. Floats are adjusted as well. I think using the paper gasket was a big part of the problem but I...

I should clarify the shaking part. It doesn't really shake bad, but lets say its not a smooth idle once in gear. Its not shaking to the point that its unbearable or to the point where its coming apart. My buddy tells me its normal for that size cam. The car right now def wants to move when you...

A few questions for you guys. I have a 1970 Dart with a 340 bored .30 over, running a comp cams thumpr 227/241(part CL20-600-4), 800 cfm eddy, 2300-2500 stall , 3.55 gears and 40 series flow masters. I have the timing rolled back to 15 degrees BTD. The car runs strong, gets horrible gas mileage...

Hey guys sorry for the lack of response. I do not log in as much as I should and havent really sold anything on here before. I thought I would get an email if someone asked a question. My apologies. These have already been sold. Thanks

I have an extremely nice set of Cragar SS wheels that I no longer need. I had these on a Dart that I restored and decided to go with a different rim and tire set up. These rims and tires have maybe 250 miles on them and are nearly brand new. The car was garage kept and was only driven 6 or 7...

Ok so I set my timing at 15 BTDC and reinstalled the 600 Eddy after I reajusted the floats again. I did not hook up the electric choke and it fired right up and ran perfect. I shut it down and hooked up the choke and it did the same thing as before, just immediately die after a few seconds. I...

Anyone in need of a passenger fender or truck lid for a 1966 Valiant ? Both are in great shape and I have no use for them. I was thinking $125 for the fender and $50 for the trunklid. Both are in great shape. I am in Saint Augustine ,Florida. If interested let me know or make an offer!

Thanks for all the feed back guys I really appreciate. I guess im going to take her apart over the weekend and see if I can get it to work. If I decide to put the 800 back on what suggestions do you have to make it not run so rich? Timing? I dont mind using the 800 but my wife and kids dont like...

Didn't remove the blades from the shaft. I didnt remove the secondary jets when I did the rebuild. Could they be clogged or dirty and cause this? I just put new floats, gaskets, needle, seats etc from the edelbrock kit you can buy your local auto parts store.

I made sure I had the 1/2 plug in the back,tried turning the idle screws all the way in and then out a turn and still the same thing. Since the 800 runs fine could it still be a vacuum leak or to much fuel PSI? Why would it run fine with the idle screw all the way in turning 2700 rpm's but then...

I didnt notice any excess fueld dripping into the carb and the big problem is I cant keep it running long enough to really tell whats going on. I'm running a stock fuel pump so hopefully i would be ok there. I took the 600 off the car and put the 800 back on and it fired right up and idled fine...

I thought the 800 CFM was to big as it ran so rich. It almost smelled like fuel coming out of the exhaust pipes. I did put new springs in it, played with the timing, adjusted the mixture screws but it just seemed to big. Maybe I am totally wrong and it needs to be tweaked, again no carb expert...

I'm at my wits end with a carb for my motor. Im running a mild 340 and initally had an 800 cfm Edelbrock on it. I know, way to big. I picked up a used Edelbrock 600 CFM , bolted it on and it was pouring fuel out of it so i decided to "attempt" a rebuild. Took the carb apart, cleaned everything...

Hi guys thanks for the replies. The motor has about 2500 miles on it. I used the comp xteme energy cam cl20-223-3 with comp springs part cca 901-16 (from summit) which was reccomended to go with that cam and lifter kit. I asked the tech guy at summit and he said the springs were 353 lb per inch...
