    I'm not a hot weather person and have to say bonus for cool evenings is that I can continue cooking roasts and making soup. A. Yum B. Leftovers mean no prep dinners for a few days.

    I should have asked in your thread. Are the rims all the same width and offset? I ask because I've found used slots sets can actually be two pairs, with slightly wider and deeper setback for the rear.

    Mine was often interested in treats at the local pet store, but I quickly learned they were only interesting when at the pet store. My take was that it was more about interacting with the people than the treats. Watching her sniff the shelves and baskets and not steal was a clue that the...

    Sure is. Used to be cheap to buy the jet selection kit, no more. Looks like a better box than I got (from mopar performance?) Those came in two clear boxes but the plastic doesn't like something in the gasoline.

    Is the rubber injected into the mold under pressure or more like casting ?

    Should I be feeling more power?

    Lets start at the top and work back. Post some photos of the engine and engine bay. We'll follow the fuel line back from the carburetor to the - well we'll see. We'll see other things too with the engine bay pictures. Like how the throttle to tranmission linkage was set up. Changes to...

    Should I be feeling more power?

    We need to see how it was setup. A carburetor doesn't care how the fuel is supplied. it can be supplied by gravity for all it cares. I don't beleive a thing the salesman has texted. Not that he's a liar. He just doesn't know. Say you remove the electric pump and then discover the mechanical...

    Should I be feeling more power?

    Since it runs, I would not jump on making any changes right away. Here's why. I tell you to go put a Performer RPM on and your mechanic buys a Performer at retail price, charges his add on, and then his time to install it. Now you've spent a bunch of money and its not even the intake that some...

    Should I be feeling more power?

    That the old 284/284 duration cam for a RB block. But you have a 340? There are several versions of the distributor used by MP. Timing light, timing tape and tach will be needed to find out what timing curve looks like. Search here for a how to do this. There's various Holley carbs with...

    Should I be feeling more power?

    What is meant normally be a "tune up" - spark plugs, cap and rotor, set points, etc. and set timing and idle fuel mix. It wouldn't hurt to change the oil and just check everything (spark plugs, air filter, cap, etc ) at 2000 miles. Looking at the condition of these items will provide some...

    Avoids wrenching and getting hands dirty ? or just more 'new and better' also upgraded Some guy just posted how much better his car runs with carb than his FI and he's just starting the tuning. Found it: Carb Tuning: IAB and Transition - Page 3 - Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

    Should be no problem. Swiss and German was always available but limited distribution and got expensive. But GOEX started shipping retail again last Fall. https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/goex-back-in-production.165006/

    Rolled a handful of paper cartridges last night. 4 with just powder for misfires and a 90 gr FF with .69 My buddy was asking for his powder back as he's going upstate and might want to shoot. No idea when I'll get a chance to use it.

    Maybe. He had no plan. Having the space is great, but to actually make it pay he's gotta list and sell it. It's a lot of cash to tie up.

    IIRC There's a more detailed breakdown they did about the cost of the crude - how much it costs to get out of the ground, then how much to ship it, etc. Some states regulate the retailers to try to stop price gouging. IIRC NJ somehow doesn't allow big jumps in prices.

    A lot of places have additional restrictions on RVP. https://www.gasbuddy.com/go/summer-blend-and-winter-blend-gasoline At least one state has a drivability requirement. Its one of the midwest states IIRC but I forget the details.

    they're allowed get to cut it with more benzene tolulene and cheaper stuff to improve low temperature starting. \ Unfortunately we get some hot days here before switchover. Then I can smell the fuel and the car doesn't like it much either

    I paid more than that in the wrong location. :( But I wanted the tank full before heading home. So it goes. No idea why its going up now. The refineries don't have to start sendin summer fuel until May 1.

    Just got these, but I don't know if they are really new, or just new old stock. Wilde brake spring tools - made in the USA. Save me the trouble of fixing the "pro" tool that came apart last week. I've bought brand new high quality Stortz paint scrapers made in...

    Not much of a story. That's the size the fits the anchor pins and and so I was using it, until it spun. I'd be there now but told the neighbors Id help be the 'new' person with their dog trainer to get him used to people. After lunch took a call from a blacksmith who can make some htings for...

    Read the tips on using the windage screen. Basically its best to open them up a bit - add another pair or two of louvers. Let us know how the intake valley splash pan fits. The one in my current 340 took some fitting but I cant recall if its a Milidon or Moroso

    Nice! I'm off to play some v-ball. I was able to put together a circuit schematic of what your 64 probably started with using some 63 and 65 info. It probably would be easiest to stop by and see what you have in hand. Then figure out how to blend the old with the new in terms actually making...
