I would say weight savings and the fact that you don't have the power brake booster as a limitation on camshaft size. Power brakes require a pretty strong vacuum signal, which somewhat limits the size of the camshaft. Lastly, in a car as light as an A body, power brakes are really not a necessity.

Higher pressure puts more fuel in a given place faster than lower pressure.

Being Larson wrecked out, we don't need to know. ;)

So what is the benefit of getting rid of the power setup and moving to manual?

There are lots of ICON pistons available for the 4" stroke crank with a compression height of 1.445" in most variations except for the dome pistons that come with a 1.465", but they are all made with the .984" pins. I know JE makes a shelf piston for a 4" stroke with a 6.125" rod length and...

Below is a chart that Carter provided for fuel pressure v needle & seat size. It also works for Edel AFB/AVS cabs because Edel copied the Carter fuel delivery system without making any changes.

The Nichrome wire gets brittle from the hot/cold cycles it goes through in operation. An analogy is a fuse that is run close to it's rated value. The wire gets hot & it eventually breaks....it does not blow from a current surge. It fails from metal fatigue. The Nichrome wire is wound on a...

If go-fish has a 2.100" rod journal 3.79" stroke crank then he can't get a 6.123" rod with a .984" pin, so the BRC pistons are of no use to you unless you can rework a set of rods, or just buy a set of pistons that have a .927" pin. Tom

Hello, I'm looking for a hood hinge or hood hinge replacement for my dodge dart swinger 1970. I have one spring hinge that is good but the other side, the spring has broke and is causing my hood to sag.

Would some of the gasoline between the carburetor and the cylinder be a vapor?

I suspect you would have blue smoke from the exhaust if excessive oil was getting into the combustion chamber.

Hysteric, Post #66....comes from NGK. You obviously know little about spark generation. Production cars used carbon string high tension leads, often with a resistance as high as 30,000 ohms. Then they had the series resistance of the rotor tip gap ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNND the series...

Looking for a rallye dash tachometer, aftermarket (I know classic industries sells one) or stock one. Any year will work (I know specific ones had a redline at 5500)

@go-fish The Molnar crank I got from a member here was at a good price. I think it’s the same one you got. (3.79 with 2.1 rod journals, 360 main) I’m using the Chevy 6.125 “power adder” rods because of a 671 blower on top. I’m already aware of the custom piston cost for my application. Little...

Think they used a b-body for the Mopar. Might be better suited for the forbbodiesonly site

Also pretty confident that all 1968 340 & 383 models were Formula S, unlike 1969. Tach or Vacuum gauge were optional on the package, and I have seen a couple of originals with 120mph speedos.

You are absolutely right my friend. The last picture is definitely not camping. It's what I call being comfortable. :) :) This is the way I "camp" in comfort. :) :) :) :)

Well numbers matching is a different category of checks to original paint. If the body numbers on a 1970 match the Vin on the dash, the VIN on the fendertag, and the VIN's on the motor and transmission then it is most likely correct. The caveat is that the body numbers may have been...

Congratulations to 'Back in Time' (FABO) and 'memike' (FABO) for correctly picking #12 Ryan Blaney to win the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. They each picked up -5 bonus points. Congrats also to 'Alsant' (FBBO), 'cuda20' (FABO), 'fishmens67' (FABO) and 'Yunick13' (FABO) for correctly picking...

Some like it hot, some not. So, I pick up Mabelliene in time for the local car show, and she starts overheating. First the temperature gauge stays normal, then it slowly climbs to overheated range, then slowly works its way back to normal and then goes slowly back to overheating. This seems...

I have a 67. The vent tube runs into the framerail. It's purpose is to let air in as gas is consumed, (and let air out as gas is pumped into the tank, if you ram the pump into the tube and and eventually pull back a little when you're tired of it shutting off automatically). After filling the...

Congrats
