Slant 6 power issues

Spricey,
You will loooooove the Webers. Throttle response that can only be dreamed of.....
Couple of tips.

- from Redline in Hollywood, get some Viton needles & seats. Ws normally come with steel n/seats & are not as reliable for street use.
- Ws are veeeeeeeeery sensitive to fuel pressure, 4 psi max. Use the Carter 4070 elec fuel pump, probably also get from RD.
- some W intakes do not allow for PCV or vac for a brake booster.
- contrary to popular belief, Ws are very reliable when set up as above.

Sick! Thanks I’ll screenshot that and keep it for reference. I don’t feel the need for a brake booster honestly. I’m going to do Discs on the front anyway. I already have complete OEM mopar disc brake/hub assemblies and a big bolt pattern rear end for it. But it stops pretty good as it is with its Olde in serviced drums that it has. So boosting the brakes would be great but not entirely necessary in my mind. I’ll check out that fuel pump too. I definitely prefer to stick with my stock mechanical pump if possible, but if I have to go electric then I will. I have an electric pump laying around but it says 4-7 PSI on the side. Is that variability common?

One thing I know I wanna do is put the bigger main venturis in them. I think they come with 35mms or 37 something like that. But you can get 40s and 42s I believe. More air is never a bad thing. I really like this idea of modular carbs where you can just play with it like legos and make it exactly how you want it

originally I was gonna drop a 360 in my Dart Sport. I have one that’s been sitting in the bed of my truck forever now. Out of a 72 something or other, was last used in an 87 RAM, but didn’t run very good. Even my dad who has been a mechanic for 30 years couldn’t figure out why. Tried other carbs when the brand new looking edlebrock 4bbl didn’t seem to work well even with tuning. Tried messing with timing. Just Never wanted to run right. At that point my dad was thinking maybe the valve timing was a touch off cause the guy he bought the truck from said that he had “rebuilt” the motor, but when a guy is selling a “rebuilt” motor that could mean literally anything. But eventually I ended up doing so much research and work on the slant six cause that’s what I have I just fell in love with it and I want to see what I can do with it. I’ll find something to do with the 360. Maybe an old dodge pickup, perhaps a 67 camper special like my dad had when I was little
