Deathtrap, My 74 Plymouth Scamp
Got a new carb today! I am now running a Holley 600 and its running so much better now. Seems that something is up with my ignition system though, its got a stumble sometimes isn't the carb. I went through all my connections and everything is solid. So Tuesday I will be swapping from the HEI set up to stock. Also installed my new JEGS Hot Rod heater! Its nice to finally have heat in freezing weather. When I started to install it I decided that I needed to tuck my harness better, so a quick job turned into 7 hours when I cut out my fuse panel. On the bright side all my extra wires are gone and the interior looks much better, Just a few more wires to tuck away. Another thing I noticed is when the car is in drive and I'm stopped it feels like the transmission is popping. If its not one thing its another right? I planned on putting in new Ujoints anyways so when I'm doing that I will check out the 904. So now that I've got this close to being a solid daily driver I would talk about future plans. Body work and a simple dark shadow grey single stage paint job is next. Then I have a pair of 318 Cylinder heads with 360 valves installed with a valve job. Then the heads were ported and polished to improve flow. Figuring if I throw these on my stock 360 so I could bump up my compression. Just gotta find a good camshaft and new lifters to pair with them. Hope everyone has a fun and safe New Years!
