Throttle linkage was adjusted properly , and after first test drive , that was the first thing I checked , I backed it off some w/ no change . When I say I can get it to shift by lifting , thats a little misleading , it's trickier than that , & you have to drive it a couple miles first .

I recently replaced my original 904 trans in my 74 Swinger after it started slipping on 2-3 shift , it had a B&M shift improver kit & TCI 2500 converter , otherwise stock 90K trans , worked great in that configuration for 4 years - over 100 passes till slipping started . Budget was tight so I...

I used to race this one from 1989-91

13.90's - 14.0's , stock bottom end , stock heads w/ 1.88 int. , 3.55 gears , 2500 conv. stock susp. , column shift

A C clip eliminator ,does nothing to increase strength . It only retains the axle upon failure

Run the Champs . I use em in all S.B.'s , even low comp 318's . Then after some hard use , read 'em , they will tell you what the engine needs

I got myself a 73 Swinger

:pale:deals like that are always 1000+ miles away

Regauding smog port holes , I took tapered steel pins , slathered them w/ JB weld , and pounded them in. After the epoxie set, I ground them flush. It may sound crude, but that was 4 years ago, and I still drive it daily.

I had a simular problem with my Dart, turned out to be the condenser on the coil. Also make sure you have good grounds on all ingniton components. And a car will run if the coil is hooked up wrong , but not very well.

depnding on the quality of the cam, & timing gears, the centerline of the cam can be off. I've seen off brand peices that had the cam timing off by 4+ degrees. That's why you should always degree your cam, plus you can't really plan any changes if your not sure where you start at.

I agree w/ moper, that intake will be the next restriction to be removed. You need to consider the whole package for any changes to be effective. Unfortunately, (or, fortunately, depending on POV ) it could be the beginning of a long list of mods to come. After changing the cam & intake , the...

the bolt pattern on those wheels should be 4.5". If your car is equipped w/disc brakes , you will have same. But, small drum cars had 4 in. bolt pattern thru '75

It'll be close , depending on offset. I have 245-60-15 on the rear of my 74 Swinger, had to roll the lips of the 1/4's
