MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...
Sorry, I barely got on today since my last response. I've been reading up and watching some videos on carb tuning. Before I go into an EFI swap, I may play with the carb tuning (another weekend). It seems my floats may be set to high. My fuel pressure is usually somewhere around 7 to 8 psi (need to verify) but Holley seems to recommend 6 psi. Thanks for the links! I'll take a look at them this week.
At the autocross we were mixed between single and multi-driver cars. I was at the start of the second round of single drivers so I'd wait till half of the multi-car drivers start before I went. I need to find a place for an oil temp gauge. Too many gauges. Lol.
I took the Dart to the exhaust shop today. He was impressed with the TTI setup, but it's super tight. There are small bends here and there making it difficult to fit a resonator anywhere. There are paper thin sections where the exhaust may hit on the torsion bar and idler arm areas. The only thing he could recommend was replace the 14" Dynomax Ultraflows for an 18" muffler. Thinking about it, it may work out. The longer muffler should dampen the exhaust (tad quieter) and reduce heat (in the muffler). He quoted me $450 for a set of Magnaflows and labor.
