On my '64 I have a typical mid 90's (for visual look at autozone pn# 17274) starter. It fits just fine with my SB, 904, TTI combo.

Wow, those are some awesome shots. I love the trail on the 4th one.

I would be testing the IAC valve and the fuel pressure.

Lowering it might not do anything if the needle valve is worn. I would just take it apart and have a good look at everything.

Does sound like the float. I would open it up and have a look at everything. Don't trust someone elses work who you don't know. Make sure the float setting, metering rods, jets, etc., are what they should be.

A few questions 1. Is the gauge reading properly? Could be off or as stated an air pocket 2. How far is the fan from the radiator? Too far away and it won't pull air through the radiator. Plus I would ditch the flex fan in favor of a clutch setup 3. Properly tuned? Since you talk about it...

X2. I had a new cam out of the box that was bent. A cardboard box plus having people toss these things around can cause some big headaches.

They are 3/8-16, don't remember the length. Just put them together and measure the depth with something like a screwdriver. Any hardware store should have them readily available.

Yeah I lived right on Hillview, probably would remember the white '64 Dart GT along with my old blue lifted Blazer. I lived there for about 5 years and before that I lived in the apartments at the corner Winfield and Coleman.

Sounds good. I know what you mean about the drone sound getting old. For years all my exhaust systems consisted of 3" pipes dumped right at the axle with two chamber flows. Long 45mph runs got noxious. It's odd to see my old stomping grounds on vid, haven't seen it in like 3 years.

I have done both the strap wrench and large channel locks. Either way grab the filter as high up as you can, that way you can put the most torque on it without the filter crushing.

Yes, it works just fine.

In my '64 I run 3.27's in the 8.8. Keeps my RPM's low for long distance freeway use.

Honestly it's really going to depend on the crew behind the counter rather than the name on the door. I started working for All Parts Auto (California, San Jose, Morgan Hill, Gilroy area) after being a long time customer because the guys either knew what I was looking for or would work till they...

Thanks guys! Now if I can just get the UPS guy here with my gift.......
