Flashback Friday

And that's cool. We all do things differently. Even on stone stock engines, I adjust not running. It's worked for over forty years and it'll work for forty more if I'm around. lol

Pretty cool

Alright. So I must have selected the worst machinist in the bay area. This guy Gary at Champion machine shop in campbell is the worst. 7 weeks hes had my block. Quoted me ten days. Third week in I call and hes like youre next in line. Because 10 days is what he estimated. So ok 5th week. Oh...

Ahhhhh, yes always use big carbs. Just Mopar Joe tried that on a 440, Torker 2. 1050 Dom made 6 hp more than a 850.....but the 850 had 6 ft/lbs more tq @ 4000 rpm, & very likely more below 4000. That means in a race, the 850 would be in front @ 4000.....& the 1050 playing catch up.

Actually that's 5600 rpm. FABO shrinks the pictures when I post them, so hard to read. Also read the note that says, "Doesn't like to run out of gas" They tested this "8bbl Program" on 288, 305, 340 and 360 motors also. I assume these were all tunnel rams.

Ign type does not cause slow cranking. You need a high HP starter. The MSD Dyna Force is over 3 hp. Some companies make a range of starters, with some less than 2 hp.

i love how the pull starts at 5600...

Does not seem excessive. But for a test you could try reducing it to 5 or 10 just to see if it makes any difference.

Here's some vintage Tunnel Ram tests from 1979 at Bob Torozzi's ... Two different Holley Pro Dominator intake's and one modified Edelbrock "short"? intake. SVI is Ted Sphear.

I'll be bringing the 440 Van Friday and the Barracuda on Saturday. Stopped in Thursday to register and browse the swap area. Ran into some old coworkers from 25-30 years ago and it was so fun to catch up! Holy crap, have I been bustin' butt on both of them. better late than never. See ya'll soon!

Just run one. They are cheap and even if they don't help, they can't hurt. (In my humble and often mistaken opinion.)

Looking for an early Edelbrock tunnel ram for a small block with W2 heads.

Looking for a 340 T/A block, and early set of W2 heads (Not Econo) and a 340 stock stroke Kellogg crankshaft

Shag carpet would be awesome!

Hey, @RenVill, don't be discouraged. I meant it when I said I was impressed with your fabrication skills. You should definitely work on a second version. I always thought some nice-looking louvers would look sharp on my 69 Barracuda Fastback. When you start your business, Make them for my car.

sorry, to avoid looking it up... are you looking for a drivers side 68-70 manifold?

??? You mean offset bushings installed reversed?

Initial timing is set to about 15 degrees BTDC

Would you be interested in selling the Edelbrock tunnel ram?

I need to. Life is getting boring so I'm resorting to video games because I was deprived of video games by my parents when I was a teen/ kid. We need more threads about putting jeep cherokee tow hitches on our dusters, Ignition upgrades, fuel injection systems for slant sixes and other good...

Where is your initial timing set. A lot of initial timing could exacerbate the problem But my bet is on the trunk mounted battery wiring

Edelbrock Victor 340 intake manifold. Intake was mounted and not ran. Some minor port matching done. $300 plus shipping. Located in Oregon City, OR

Purolator, Baldwin, Fildex??

What creates the demand for the air to begin flowing in the first place?

It takes an understanding of how an engine actually works. Here's a hint: Its not an AIR PUMP. Until you can grasp that detail you'll always need a bigger head to make more power while those that do understand can make more power with a lot less than you need.

Thank you my friend!

Yea im really excited to get started on that truck. It's got alot of little things mostly cosmetic. I'm not doing anything major on it until the dart is painted! Gotta stay focused haha
