The problem with the DV Quote-bot, it is not in context, DV was stating that simply smoothing the surface of most as-cast heads results in very little to no gain...flow-wise...not that there is not a desired surface to increase output & decrease BSFC.... And screw the drag stuff, run a circle...

You say that, but we used to have a tech at the Toyotee dealer where I worked years ago that was terrible about cross threading nuts and bolts. We just told him that was his form of locktite. LOL He was a young kid, maybe 19 at the most and still learning. Believe it or not. He was the lead tech...

The bolts holding the control valve to the steering gear housing.

RRR, I will tell you why you do IDLE TIMING first..... You bolt on your carb, factory 12* of initial timing. You find the mixture screws are not adjusting the mixture; you are able to screw them all the way in...& engine still runs. You remove the carb & find too much transfer slot is exposed...

Yeah. It's called good old fashioned hot roddin.

See what happens when you use the wrong fasteners in that area. It ain't purdy.

I understand that both hoses attached to it, but what I am asking is the adjustment sequence where the bolts need to be a little loose is that between the front and back section of the control valve or the control valve mounted to the steering box. Thanks again for your help and patience.

I have much respect for you fellers that can do most anything with a lathe.

Both

Laugh as you may, but this is an area that you need to pay attention to. Just as there always critical areas you have to pay attention to on anything mechanical. If it takes 44 post to get peoples attention and get the correct bolts installed then so be it. There is not a lot of clearance...

Don't use anything. Nothing EVER holds. Do this instead. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/how-to-hillbilly-timing-tape.316278/

Got deck floor done, took wife for dinner in the Dart, ate way to much food, had a few drinks when we got home, fell asleep on couch. Just woke up poured another one, looking at the stars off my deck wondering how can it get any better than this

Jos, I believe in your country Oregon cams re-faces lifters. There will be others.

Is it the MSD DynaForce #5098 starter that you have?

Staggered width but same or close enough to the same height/diameter to use one spare for the front or rear. 245/45-17x8 (25.68") front 275/40-17x9 (25.66) rear on my 'Cuda Running the same 275/40-17 on the rear of the 69 Barracuda and the fronts will be something very close to the same...

From the beginning of time, everyone I have ever known with any smarts has always, always, ALWAYS said Carburetor FIRST and then timing. Then usually zoom in on the carburetor after that. That's how I've done it a very long time and it's always worked well. Different folks do different stuff...

Both hoses attach to the control valve. The O-rings go between it and the steering gear housing.

Is it just the angle or does that have 68 marker lights on the rear?

On resistor spark plugs. Circle Track tested about 10-12 heli-wound plug wires that had different ohms per foot. The test was to see if resistance affected the hp. There was a small HP difference between the best & the worst, & the winner did NOT have the lowest resistance. That is likely due to...

Hah tires are highly overrated :rofl:

Those look a heck of alot wider than the 205s ive ran in the past! What width rim are those on? They look awesome!

Was a new tank. But you are correct in that I always try to "completely" fill my tanks when I gas up. This is the first time I've EVER had this issue with any of my cars. The applicable service manuel is not Barracuda specific. It's an A-Body manual. That has consequences, in that start at...

Wish that RED X was back sometimes!

1972 Cecil County Drag Raceway... THE TRACTION CAPITAL OF THE EAST!!!... SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY!!!

Turk, Should have added. The links I quoted above with happy endings were from a variety of people.

...dark night.... My GTO & hundreds of thousands of other Pontiacs idled on the showroom floor with a tiny 197/212 @ 050 cam....& 10.7:1 CR....with 26*. The car makers need to be conservative because they do not know the end use of the car. The Edel tuning manual states to use plenty of init...

You know, I've never been much for dirt track racing, but this? This I would pay good money to go watch!!!

A carb plate works fine with most cast intakes. Heavily ported intake, billet stuff, etc. should use a spreader bar and hook to the ends of the heads. Can also pick up from the exhaust bolts if you have a weird intake like a cross ram.

That looks really nice.
