I took a 90 bend off the rad and ran a 12" piece of PVC to a flex hose up around the timing cover. worked great but if that 72281 Magnum hose works, let us know! Im running an early Mustang Aluminum radiator.

68 and newer is the break for small and large snout cranks/convertors. Get both >67 and youll be set. If you have a big newer convertor and a small crank, your SOL. other way around is doable with a Tflite Paddy (sp?) 1/8 wall bushing.

in gear and it dies sounds lean. Choked richens the mix (higher vacuum from the choke restrictions) and off idle its back to lean. Unscrew the mixture screw 1/2 turn and see if there is any difference. If not turn it back, its free. Another Gotcha is the fuel filter: if its horizontal, it can...

And we fuss over NOx levels with this elevated temp blend? Lame......

awesome PDFs for the 'ol Weber. Ill assume the (new) 18mm clearance is accurate for new style gasket and new floats per Redline as they probably sell the most WEBER cast carbs here in USA. I can get that measurement at the tip of the float. When they show it parallel to the top is were I lose it...

Gen 3 hemi is a drop in 250-340 CFM head motor. Hard to bet and cheap. Its just evolution. Good luck on the sale, W stuff usually sells but I cant quote prices.

you could lop off 5 of the 6 reluctors in a electronic distributor and have that as the cam position sensor as its a 2:1 rotation. 36-1 would be ignition trigger for a EDIS-6, really easy to do that as the EDIS knows the ignition timing after 1 rotation. Run LS coils if you dont do single coil EDIS.

The 2.94 rear will love you more with a 318 in front of it. a "High revving 273" is just a smaller bore "high revving 318". I F'd up my 273-4 and just moved all the parts on to a '68 318 short block. It felt faster than the 273-4. HP sells, but torque wins races. Read the fine print...

Just get better pistons. Probably cheaper.

My float is just like this.

you will probably find that 18 mm between top of float and gasket-ed lid is the same as 35mm from bottom of float to the gasketed lid.... unless they changed the design of the float. This cant be obtained as the float is 27mm thick and 27 + 18mm clearance would be 45mm to gasket, not 35 (or...

A few pics to show a "35mm float bottom to top" is impossible. Note that these are all shot upside down so the bottom of float is obviously the top of the pic. The pivot pin is about 20mm off the top. If I were to hammer the metal bracket flat it could possibly level out as the diagram shows...

Got one and of course you take it apart before you install it right? Redline (only importer of Weber carbs in USA) says set the float to: 18mm from top of float off the gasket with the needles spring ball barely touching. Then Pegasus racing say "...Weber recommends setting the height of a...

16:1 is like 3.75 lock to lock? 12:1 would be like a 2.8? That would be like go cart steering....maybe a little sketchy on the interstate.

I got both. BBD or weber?
