Center carbs are different on auto and manuals, adding another flavor still.

Not sure if this is very rare, but it's '71 Sherwood Green

That's true. The good answers suggested are what works for the responder's application.

Nice, now keep it outta the snow & the mud.

X2 on the 71 Plymouth Satellite/RR/GTX.

Your car to do whatever you want with, but if the original had a good color to start with, I keep it that way. Plus if there are any parts you are not going to repaint like the trunk, saves time and money.

The later. A rebuilt that was actually speced for someone else.

I'll find the slip, but the 1/8 mph was around 101 if I remember right, but I was getting out it right around then. I'm thinking that I'm getting a Dynamic converter this winter set up to the cars specifications, and having the tranny redone by a shop, since it's gotta come out anyway. I...

10.85 at 123, last pass on old combo. Best on new = 10.65 at 126 but it activated the rev limiter at 7200 and I got off it about 2/3 down the qtr. I tried it again, feathering the pedal to stay at or under the shift light and it ran 11.05.

I believe it was 4600. When I filled it, I filled it all the way, but I heard that was not likely it.

Thoughts, what did I hurt now? My 69 Dart ran great for 6 years. 10.65 to 10.80. Instead of freshening up the motor this time, I put in a new one to go upper 9s, for 10.00 index. Had the tranny rebuilt, and bought a "rebuilt converter" Turbo Action. Braced the 8 3/4. The car gets out...

All of those are great. Good jobs. I love those uncluttered and clean engine bays.

I think the Dart Sports were all Demons. The "Moral Majority" made Chrysler knuckle down and drop the Demon name and symbol. Otherwise those Dart Sports would be Demons. Dodge Dusters, just like Scamps were Plymouth Darts. I'd label a Scamp a Dart before I'd call a Dart Sport a Dart.

I have no Dusters, (nor Demons) I like the 70 with the pair of black stripes connecting them.

My Dart. Was born a 340 69 Swinger, but it was a race car the day I bought it.
