I sent you a DM.

I do not want to throw Jamie under the bus, but I have had an order for months that has not gotten shipped, lost of excuses. Anyone know what the issue here is or if it is just me? I am getting to the point where I will not be able to go to my credit card and charge this back.

Man, I feel for you. I bought a 72 Duster 340 that is a complete dog, a good 318 will leave this POS in the dust. First issue it has is that it will not rev past 4,500 RPM's, after going through the whole ignition system and replacing almost every component, rebuilding a 72 thermoquad, putting a...

It's fine and it will not be the source of the issue as long as it is in correct working order. Will the car make more power with a 750? Yes, will a 750 fix the issue? absolutely not unless there was something terribly wrong with the 670.

First thing is the distributor curve, if you have a stock distributor with the stock curve in it with that cam, it will be a dog coming out of the hole. That cam is 235 degrees at .050, that is quite a bit of duration. If it was my distributor I would limit the advance to about 16-18 degrees and...

No, that is not my channel, but it is a very good source of good information on how to build a solid street 340.

To me, somewhere in the 225 to 240 @.050 on the intake side is the sweet spot for a street car. You can go a little less for more drivability or a little more for a bit more power. Let lift fall where it may according to the manufacturer of your cam, more lift per the same duration is most of...

I am doing a build similar to yours, will be using 3.55 gears and a 4 speed. I like the Hughes: HUG SER2630ALN-10 SB HYD RLR CAM 226/230 -110ºLSA Or use this one for a little more upper end power with a little less low end torque: HUG SER3034ALN-10 SB HYD RLR CAM 230/234 -110ºLSA NEW CORE...

I drove a 1971 Duster 340 with a turbo action reverse pattern valve body and one of their 3500 stall speed converters with 4.30 gears as my daily driver for a couple of years. Ported and polished TA heads, M1 Intake, 950 CFM Barry Grant Carb stage 3 (reworked Holley 750 DP). I had 10.5:1...

Thanks, then I will go ahead and tell the machinist to do this.

Do you think that they need a solid insert in the spark plug holes? Machinist recommended that but I was not sure if that was necessary.

Would be nice.

You know what, knowing what I now know that would have been the best road to take, but I wanted a stock looking engine compartment, where the only deviation from stock would be a set of headers. I wanted to just port the stock cast iron intake and use the stock Thermoquad with the choke and...

Yes, I told the machinist that he would need to do this, I am not anxious to see the bill...

I just talked to the machinist and he is going to pressure test them, if they pass he will install all new seats in all the intakes. The heads have brand new bronze guides so that should all be good, for those that are asking. The only reason I am going through the expense is that these are some...
