He is a fan of the quirky small blocks

where in PA are you and would you be interested in quoting a build for me? i could use a weekend drive in the mountains & deliver it to you

sounds good! ill let you know once i get it all pulled apart.

Hey all, i am looking for someone ( would love them to be in the north east ) to rebuild my stock 273 for my barracuda its the standard motor. want to go with the domed pistons and cam to make it a H.P. and any other small upgrades to get a little more horses out of it. anyone know someone...

I'm cheap, I can't spend thousands on a tool box but to be fair I'm not rolling them around at all. So for me at home I went with 3 of the harbor freight Yukon boxes. Bolted them all together to make one long work top and still had room on the side for my welder cart and and plasma cutter cart...

I am contemplating flat towing my duster behind my RV for car shows, etc. my duster is not a show car or #'s matching. its a clean modified driver. aside from fabricating a bracket, mounting the tow bar ( I have one already ) and pulling the drive shaft - what's the good & bad of going this...

Heres the update. installed the carb - quick fuel slayer 600 vac 2nds - a few minor adjustments were needed out the box ( float levels way too high & mixture screws ) took it out for a test and and instantly had 90% less knocking. stopped and filled up with 93 - while at the gas station...

after way too much thought i decided to order a quick fuel slayer 600 carb (P/N 793-SL-600-VS ) its arriving tomorrow and ill let you all know how it goes after the install. i really appreciate all the advice, opinions & help from everyone.

anyone have any experience with the quick fuel 600 series? Quick Fuel SL-600-VS Quick Fuel Slayer Series Carburetors | Summit Racing

I don’t get offended, I am asking for help and appreciate the advice. I had a ton of Experience way back in the late 80’s early 90’s with thermoquads ( I used to call them thermo bogs ) but damn when those secondary’s kick in. It’s just been a while. I have zero experience with holleys but have...

my intake

So having no luck with a replacement bottom plate. Looking for suggestions on a replacement carb. Found a rebuilt thermoquad 850 cfm locally but on the fence if I should just get something new. Opinions?

It was in the lower rpm. Thinking once I replace the cracked carb base it will be all good

Updates. Found the carb base plate is cracked. So I’m in search for a good replacement. I did do a compression test. Highest cylinder reading 180 lowest 165. The plugs I just put in 30 miles ago look like this. Guess I’ll continue the work after either I find a replacement base plate or a carb...

I don't know the specs of the engine, I didn't build it and the last owner didn't know. curious - what carb would you suggest?

I pulled the original plugs yesterday, ill take pics of them when I get home and run the compression testing. I'm hoping the vacuum leak at the carb base to manifold is the issue. getting a thicker gasket to try that.

also noticed that the carb to manifold gasket is very thin, this is my first go around with a holley, ive always been a thermoquad guy. the carb to manifold gaskets were always thicker. i am asuming with the leak either the base of the carb or the manifold plane is not 100% flat. would a...

I have not tested cylinder pressure yet, i will this weekend I was also thinking it could be a stretched timing chain and will do what you recommend i checked the vacuume advance but not the weights! thats a good one i need to do too the tank is totally clean, filter was changed and fuel...

I will try this over the weekend.

engine runs extremely cool, wont go above 190 no matter what. I have not tried messing with the fuel mixture yet and will do that this weekend.

yes on the fuel filter and the fuel has been clear. carb is 4776-4

i was thinking that too, vacuume gauge reads good on manifold and ported. but since spraying the base of the carb and getting the reaction I did ill try the gasket next.

74 with a 72 340. electronic ignition, will throw a timing light on it tonight and get back to you on that but ive gone up and down. Sound gets worse when i advance it. there is a vacuume advance and it is operating. 91 octane fuel.

Hey all, trying to work out some issues on my 340. has bad detonation / igintion sounding knocking. i did not build or know anything much about the engine. Has a holley carb, mopar performance high rise intake. I've changed plugs, timing, fuel, etc. i noticed that when i spray carb cleaner at...

would you be willing to open it up and just send me the internals? i dont need the case and axles just the internal parts.

Thanks for that link. I found another link that has a lot of info on the production amounts. I was just curious how rare a 66 column shift formula s is and I know someone in this group has that insane breakdown.

Does anyone have a link to or know the production numbers of 1966 barracuda s's? I have a 66 s, 273 4bbl auto column shift light yellow that I just picked up and was curious how many of these s's were made with the column shift automatics and not the floor shift with console. thanks in advance!!

hey shoot me the same email

Gosh em is where my sister lives and is halfway from my house in eastern Long Island. I am very interested in the car and want to get up there to see it. The next 2 weeks are crazy though so if you still have her after the holidays I'll get in touch to set something up.

Nice!!! Congratulations! Enjoy it.
