1970 Duster project in Sweden
Did some small fixes today and tuned the car with the new Street Demon.
This is now current combo:
273 Commando - 1965
Compression: 10.5:1
Heads: Gasket matched and ported
Valves: 1.78 in intake, 1.50 in exhaust
Cam: Solid lifter Comp Cams Magnum 282S - 282/282 Lift 495/495
Beehive Springs
Edelbrock D4B intake / Street Demon 625 carb
PerTronix Ignitor II Billet distributer & Flame Thrower coil - Taylor plugwires
Hooker Headers
2.5" Dual Exhaust / Super 44 Flowmaster
727 auto / Shift Kit
10" Turbo Action Street "S-800" converter
8 3/4 - 3.55 - SureGrip
6 leaf - leaf springs from Espo
B&M Quicksilver Shifter
BF Goodrich 245/60-14 out back
It wants as much as 23 initial, it doesn't kick back or ping and total is limited to 36. It's all in just before 2500 rpm. I don't use the vacuum advance. Tuned idle screws for best vacuum, the Street Demon was way rich out of the box. Picked up rpm idling as I leaned it out. Brought the idle down to 850 rpm and tuned for best vacuum again. It has a really nice and crisp respond. Me and some friends then went for a ride :)
