Well things are happening again, scored a complete 8 1/4 rear from a 73 duster! Has 2.45s which will be soon changed out for better gears and proper carrier. 3.21 gears and trac lok are on the way as well as a install kit and new axle shaft bearings. And all ridiculously cheaper than the...

Yeah, it was pretty neat to see so many in one place. Think my favorite car there was that procharged slant-6 fish, that thing was wicked.

Event was pretty fun, a lot more A-bodies than I expected, got to meet a lot of cool people here. Will definitely be going again next year.

Hopefully I see some of you guys there, I'll be there with the scamp, I'll be bringing water bottles if anyone needs some, just ask.

Definitely in the plan tomorrow. Well just got home, thank God I am small enough to get half my body into the trunk to get to the keys, didn't realize how small the opening was haha!

What a way to end work, locked my damn keys in the trunk of the scamp. No spare and the tools I need to remove the rear seat are in the trunk, go figure. Waiting for a bud to bring me some tools in the mean time, rush hour right now so it must suck. Jeez

...sync was pretty dead on when I removed it, just barely a tad under square.. Verified tdc, mark is spot on on the balancer. Reset base timing to 15* btdc, had best vacuum, rpm, then set idle mixture. Verified my vac gauge, it's good. Warmed up, curb idle in neutral at 800 rpm, 650 in gear with...

Thanks a bunch H22A4, good read.

Update, found not one, but two exhaust leaks. Was checking my choke adjustment before I left work, fast idle at 1500 and I cold hear this tiny noise, stuck my finger around the flanges and low and behold I found hot exhaust gas hittin my finger, leaking past the header flange onto the primaries...

Yessir, the 340 bracket as the 2BBL one was at a horrible angle. I'll check the thread out, thanks!

Hey TMM, 73 scamp, 318 2bbl 904 car. I have the mopar adapter for my eddy and an extended rod already, but my dad was sayin the the 4bbl cars had a different throw on the lever down on the trans, saying it was a shorter throw than the 2 bbl lever, and the rod that goes from the throttle bracket...

As stated in the title, looking for 4BBL kick-down assembly, from the KD rod on the throttle down to the lever on the trans. 4BBL throttle cable bracket not needed though, but will take if selling complete. Paypal ready, will pay shipping, thanks. 73 scamp, 318, 904

...on my face driving home the whole time and wasted quite a bit of gas while I was at it lol..... hey AJ, I noticed my trans seems over filled when warm, could that cause the rpm gap when going from park to drive? Many thanks. *edit* Still 950 curb idle, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of this.

Alrighty, TDC first and then I'll follow along from your notes as well as keeping a spreadsheet of what is done to the carb. Well ****... Guess we will find out when I get back from work, I'll swap it over before I leave. God I'll feel dumb if it was something that simple, shouldn't have...

Idle mixture screws are out 1 7/8 turns.

That I know, going up the next rod size makes it too rich, 12-13s at cruise and even worse on power than it already is, usually try to aim for 14s cruise/idle in gear. Don't want to keep throwing stuff at it til I rebuild the carb this weekend, reset the floats, and set everything back to stock...

Not sure how many turns out, but I'll let ya know when I am near my car again.

Haha, the car is pretty loud, it's the certain rpms where it doesn't drone that I can hear it. As for the stall, it does stall at 2000 rpm when I gas the car with the brakes applied, I was just saying that's what I have seen is stock for a factory 318? Curb idle, yes, 950 rpm on a warm motor...

A5) Vacuum gauge is fairly new, so I would possibly think it is. It's intermitent, at idle sometimes it's quiet, usually at cold start, when warm it does make more noise at cruise. A10) yes, it will stall. As for curb idle in neutral is 950, in gear, warmed up, brakes applied is 650. Will...

...afr, turning out richens. A8) Secondaries seem to be fully closed, will confirm later today. A9) Compression and leak down test will be done this weekend. I'll post the results. Thanks again. *Edit* Cold start idle at 950 and only drops to 800 in gear while brake is applied, warm same 'ol 650.

Tuned? I don't think I would have gotten a 1406, but it's what the car had when I bought it so I figured I'd try to make the best of it as half the people I have read say it works great for a mild 318 and the other half say it always has issues, like my dad, said throw it in the trash and get a...

A1) They are shared, has an h-pipe placed in about 12 inches from the collector flange. You know, you might be right, I don't recall a miss on that side before I put headers on (Dougs), that or it wasn't audible enough to hear with the old quiet exhaust and I didn't notice. There is no leaks I...

Last time I checked, at idle it was pulling about 18-19" Haven't tried seeing what it does while driving though, might be a good idea, thanks.

Compression test is due this weekend and will probably tell me a lot haha. Will probably get a leakdown test kit when I am at the parts store too as I have been meaning to get one for a long while and have a compressor now. Plugs, last time I checked had black carbon around the ring, spanned...

..."pop" coming out of the passenger side exhaust. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Leaking intake manifold gasket? Burnt valve? Not sure. *Edit* Also, if i get on it pretty hard, and let off the throttle to coast, the back firing becomes more apparent, if that helps at all. And the...

Tiny update, finally got around to have some friggin time to get the exhaust done (damn you rain and 9 to 5's!) ooooh how she sings now.. Loving the clearance, h-pipe, dynomax race bullets, turn downs. Maybe I'll post a "sound test" video sometime this week . . .

It really is amazing what it does, thanks for providing us with a great product! Re-timed the distributor yesterday to about 35-36 degrees and she seems to really like it. And the vacuum advance is just right where you put it, somewhere around 50 degrees when base timing is set at 15.

Small update, bought TrailBeast's HEI conversion and distributor and put it in last weekend, YEEZUS, now that good **** made a difference! Didn't realize how worn out the old ignition system was. Idles damn smooth and the drivabilty of the car is immensely better. That on top of his re-curved...

Almost wanted to run up to the car and say hey, but realized how awkward that would that be. Maybe I just haven't hit that age yet where you stop caring haha.
