I have purchased a tribute to the Bee Leaver, I read that the original went to Puerto Rico.

Thanks guys I wasn't sure if I had to do something wth the other 2 wires.

Hello, I have a 1974 dart sport 360, with msd 6al ignition. I currently have the ballast resitor removed and the wires jumpered to give me the 12 volt run wire for the msd. I would like to remove the ballast connectors and the old ignition plug from my underhood wiring. If I remove the...

Sorry Rumblefish360 I thought someone mentioned "slanderous PM's flying behind the scenes" I was mistaken. I started this thread to try and decide what head would be best to replace my set of J heads. I thought that a bit of a compresion boost would pick up the seat of the pants effect with my...

I will respond and I have responded thanking everyone who gave me their honest opinion and the reason why they have that opinion. Wow, I never thought that a question about which head you prefered would ever cause a problem. If you have info on Me sending slanderous PRIVATE MESSAGES perhaps you...

Well I thought I was just asking about peoples opinion on which head they thought would work best for me. I didn't mean to start a product or vender war. I don't really remember asking if I could afford one over the other or could afford to have them worked on to meet my requirments or if my...

Wow!

I know the J heads had been redone when I purchased them. Everything was new and the person I purchased them from said there had been $1,200 put into them, he bought them from the guy that done the work. I could see where the porting had been done but not sure to what extent, it looked as if all...

Now I am really baffled....???? I think I will try a carb first, then heads and cam??? Still not sure what heads to go with.

TTI headers / 2.5" dual through flowmasters! oh ye ignition is MSD 6al

I am going to replace the heads on my 408 in a few weeks and don't want to make a mistake. The motor now has a set of big valved J heads cc'd @71 they have had some port work on them but I do not know the extent. My motor is now 9.2:1 comp, and a street only motor. Specs: 1974 360 bored .030...

SHE LIVES???? I got the 408 put back in the dart yesterday and fired her up. It was -14F outside so I just set the timing and pulled it outside for cam break in. I did degree the purple shaft cam in at 104* and everything sounds great. It has a slight lope to it but really sounds strong idleing...

I go to Old Town in Kissimee every Saturday in February and March. Great show and get to cruise the streets after the show. I hear they changed Fridays to 1964 - 1979 cars only. Saturdays are 1974 & earlier. Great place to go, Saturday is the best night.

Hello I am getting ready to begin assembly on my 408. block should be finished Wenesday. Here is what I am thinking, about cam istallation. Since the car is a street car only I am consideing advancing the cam 4* to give the motor better low end. Here is my combo. 9.2:1 comp ported J heads...

Just got back home from the machine shop. I think the old guy was jerking my chain, he has been doing this for over 40 years. My guess is that he knows what he is doing. I left him with my figures and he said he would take care of everything! I am keeping my fingers crossed, said it would be...
