How do the venturi and throttle bore sizes compare between the 850 and 950 you've tried? I've found that 850 carbs usually have larger venturis and maybe larger throttle bores than some 950s.
How do you guys feel about the popular covered call ETF's out there? Some of them are paying pretty high dividends. Are the dividends sustainable long term?
That's gotta be pretty frustrating. I'd maybe try a thin telescoping magnet through the pushrod hole. Then raise the lifter up and into the bore straight down guiding it with your forceps as needed. If you don't have a thin enough telescoping magnet, maybe epoxy a small neodymium magnet to the...
Like new Tekton 1/2" drive torque wrench. 25-250 ft-lbs. Part number 24340. I've only used this one once but I'm getting rid of tools I have more than two of to prepare for a move.
Located in West Sacramento - $30 plus shipping or local pick up. PM me for a shipping quote.
For my build, I was recommended something in the 260's @ .050 and around 0.650" lift, so similar to yours. I've got a Victor 383 intake and a few 4150 carbs to choose from (2 different 950's and an old school Holley 4781 850).
Those are the same ones I'll likely go with, only on a 6" wheel. Good looking combo.

Birdsong's cutaway of those green bearings makes them seem pretty pathetic. I'd have expected to see more bearings in that space. I've never had an issue running them, but I'll sure give it some thought next time.
No, not even close.
When I measured for driveshafts on my 68 and 66 Darts, both only showed about 1/8" - 3/16" difference from full compression to full droop.
Most driveshaft shops will have you insert the yoke all the way in until it stops, take a centerline measurement on front and rear...
I'm thinking it wasn't zeroed out. Look closely at the scale. The Mancini one looks to be close to 150mm, whereas the original looks to be maybe 146mm. Not sure what's up with the LCD display.
If the belt grooves are in line and the ratios are what you want, there's no reason why the set up won't work. The alternator pulley looks backwards to me, but if the groove is lined up with the other two, it should still work.
Guys are running larger cams than that on stock roller setups.
How much lift with stock magnum roller lifters?
It's lobe lift you'd want to consider though, not valve lift.
Access holes are the only way to go in my opinion. That's the route I went on my '66 Dart. I also went with socket cap bolts on those top two to make it easier to feed the bolts through. Makes taking the transmission out a whole lot easier, especially in an early A body.
I would think it would be better to have one a little on the large side in that spot to squeeze the gasket better, than on the thin side. I bet if you bolt it up, it'd be fine. It'll just squeeze the gasket a little more, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Only one way to find out.
Have you checked the FSM? They usually have procedures in them for reinstalling glass. I know the windshield installation procedure calls for sealant on the bottom half. Not sure about the rear glass though.
