The Dart is gorgeous, It has my vote. The 66 is cool also, I've had one. But I love the slant. I just finish building my slant. BTW you didn't mention the exhaust manifold. Did I catch a glimpse of headers? Norm

I have a "slightly" related question about Commando insulators...what attaches them to the valve cover? I have a set that I want to restore with out damaging the insulators. Norm

Is anybody here experiencing a real slow loading of the web site? Norm

Did this installation give you any "lift" when you tripped the latch? Norm

Did this installation give you any "lift" when you tripped the latch? I sort of copied your installation, but you still have to lift the hood a considerable height before the struts finish the lift. Norm

Good question, never gave it a thought. Every plug I've ever removed from a slant, had a washer/gasket on it. My slant right now have the washer/gaskets. Norm

A fan (propeller) story. Way back when, I was teaching a friend to fly control-line model airplanes. Regardless of how the engine speed was adjusted, he complained that the model was flying too fast, and he was unable to overcome getting dizzy. So I removed the propeller and put it back on...

I wonder if one of these could be modified to fit a 64-66 Barracuda? A good friend of mine did a 72 Duster (similarly) with indoor/outdoor carpet. It looked great! Norm

I'm sure it has been posted before, but one more time wouldn't hurt. Norm

USAF 67-87, Wish I had stayed for 30. I would go back in a heart beat and be able to pick up right where I left off. When I retired in 87, I just changed clothes, planes and hangars. I'm soon to be 78 and still at it. Norm

Do those go under the "Kframe?"

Thanks Charrlie, I got in touch with them a while back, they are rich! I may just have to bite the bullet and get them. I'm still holding out on some "2nd hand ones" maybe being out there. Norm

Thought about that, but the picture is a little deceiving. They are not torqued down and would require some extensive beating on. I'm also predicting a problem with the steering box. Norm

Looking for a set of headers that will fit my 65, 225, 4 speed Barracuda. Yes, I know there are new ones out there for sale, but... $$$. I have a set that were supposed to fit my application, but it turns out they are for a newer application and interfere with the clutch linkage and bell...

I'll look again this evening.

And there appears to be someone's name is stamped on the ring. "Mick or Mac Crane" ????

Charrlie wanted the pictures to identify the carb. I'm not real versed on Holley carbs. "main air bleeds" Where are the supposed to be located? This carburetor came to me from another member "all ready being modified" and was said to be 350cfm. Charrlie said he never heard of a 350cfm. Norm

Hey Charrlie here is the carb. Norm

I just did that no more than an hour ago. I used a 3/4" thick wall stainless tube. I also realized we have a very similar tool in our aircraft shop for doing the same thing on opposed cylinder engines. I'll have to modify it "slightly" to make it work. Norm

Both of those tools will no doubt work. I didn't think about using the rocker shaft with a tool like in the pictures. (I guess it is reluctance to disassemble my rocker shaft). I knew I would get the answer here on the forum. Thanks Charrlie, ch1II and 1WildRT. Norm

1965 225, on a test stand. Well I've got the cam break-in period accomplished as per instructions by Hughes Engines. The break-in was done using "only" single valve springs. Now for the "suggestion." I'm trying to install the required "secondary springs" (inner) using the tool I have. I cannot...

Yep! I worked with them on this cam, told them what I was trying to achieve and they had this cam cut for me. It took a long time to get it. They are trying to get me a duplicate "cam card" as I have misplaced the original (it's there, but where???). I have the specs. written down in my notes...

STL3228-16-8 232/228 .536" .530" 108* + 4* .004" .006" Having some difficulty with the idle. When I dial in the timing, I can't get the idle down below 800 RPMs. The idle screw is backed all the way off. I believe it is the carburetor itself. Holly 350CFM D/P. I have little experience with this...

65 Barracuda, 4 speed. 8.75 4:10. Norm

I tried to post the video of the start up and break in of my 225 about a week ago and could not get the video to load. Upon advice, I went the route of YouTube. Spent most of my free time this winter building the test stand. 225 .060 over, milled .125, big valves, harden seats, ported head...

Still working on the video. Norm

First break in run. I'll post the video as soon as I figure out how to get it from my phone to the PC...:rolleyes:
