67 Dart 270...Project Old School
STRUT RODS!!!!
These landed on my front porch over the weekend:
They are the QA1 adjustable strut rods. I have been putting this task off for four years. My left side strut rod bushing is almost non-existent. These should solve that problem nicely.
I was hoping to get back to the track this past Wednesday to test out raising the float levels. The rear float level was very low and the front was only slightly low. Nascar trucks rolled into town last week so that cancelled the test and tune in order to make preparations. After I raised the float bowls I drove to the gas station and filled up with 87 octane fuel. I immediately had a flooding condition. I am not sure if the flooding was caused by the float change or the new fuel. The fuel must be boiling and causing additional fuel to blow past the needle and seat. I have a 1/2" plastic space under the carb already, but still the problem persists.
I purchased a set of clear site plugs so I can see if the float levels are rising as carb gets heat soaked. I am starting to wonder if I kept lowering the rear float level to cure the flooding problem originally. I will have to get this sorted out before Wednesday's trip to the track. The weather will be 15-20 degrees warmer, so the heat soak issue will be further exacerbated.
