Not bracket racing. Just going to be going and seeing what the car will run etc. yes I know slicks are better etc...

Yeah I will be running street tires no slicks. Pretty heavy car and it’s gonna be a stout 360. Just occasional strip use. Mostly street. Converter will probably be in the 2800-3000 range

I know this has been asked before etc... but do u think a 8.25 rear in a 73 Coronet with a 360 making about 450 hp last? It would be rebuilt and a suregrip added and would probably be running 3:55 or 3:90 gears. Would also be running a built 904 transmission. The car weighs probably around 3800...

Does anyone know where I could get a new carb or rebuilt one that would be a direct replacement for this carb?

Ok needle and seat looked ok to me. Car had a new gas tank installed last year according to the paper work that came with it. There wasn’t a lot of fuel that ran out when I removed needle and seat. When u shake the car u can see the fuel in the carb though and some ran out. Looks level with the...

Quick update didn’t get a lot of time to mess with the car but I did but new plugs in it the old plugs were awful as far as being fouled. Also replaced pcv hose there was a crack in it. The rest of the hoses look ok. Battery was charged. Same thing as yesterday. Just trying to start it without...

Sorry about the hit part.... means it runs for 2-5 seconds or whatever just a term I have heard other people use over the years

Ok thanks everyone for the advice. I will follow up and let u know more tomorrow. Just got the car in the garage and I gotta get a few hours sleep for work. I will go with your suggestions and report back starting tomorrow. Thanks again

I know it’s supposed to be closed when it’s closed. Was just saying. Also no backfires.

Also choke is closed.

Have a 73 Coronet with a stock 318 2 barrel. Just got it. The previous owner said car was running fine until about 2 weeks ago and wouldn’t start- just would crank nothing. Seemed to think it was the fuel pump. Have the car home. And it hit and soon as I cranked it. That’s all I can get it to do...
