    Looking for some advice on jet sizing- Thermoquad 6139

    Understood - I'll leave well enough alone. Pushrods came with the cam and lifters and rockers - since this was a 2 BBl the compression runs light so the 302 heads should be a natural fit...- I thought that the pushrods will be another "exciting" :) step forward on the rebuild once i get there...

    Looking for some advice on jet sizing- Thermoquad 6139

    Thanks everyone for the useful advice- i printed the guide and it is indeed useful- Thanks! I think I'm going to go with a 94 jet in the primaries - and a 100 in the secondaries to keep it a little more proportional to the reduced motor and compression of this application- the old ones are...

    Looking for some advice on jet sizing- Thermoquad 6139

    All, I am looking for some input on what sizes to use in my Thermoquad rebuild that i am working on. The goal of this build was to use only parts I have laying around to get the car running decently enough to drive it as a weeekend car until I get the forever motor built. The idea is to...

    Brand new to Thermoquads- a few questions I need help with

    Thank you much for the input - this is a truly useful post. I have indeed found a 6139 carb to use instead of my 9103 so I'm listening to the chorus of "I've bought the wrong carb to work with"- which is how I usually start off on these things.....:-). Do you have a preference for rebuild kits...

    Brand new to Thermoquads- a few questions I need help with

    Good Evening, All, I have recieved a nice rebuildable core Carb- series 9103 - a 77 400 HP application that I'd like to use on a set of 302 heads I'll be installing soon on a 273 . I have been doing my research and I have noticed my target carb- a 1973 340 AT unit has the same Primary jet-...

    I've done a ton of research- so now I'm really confused....

    Absolutely a great point - I have 4 more years of 60 hour work weeks until i retire - so while i could steal a weekend for playing with the rebuilt heads and other parts lined up the big motor change just has to wait until i can take my time and enjoy the work . I also have an overdrive trans ...

    I've done a ton of research- so now I'm really confused....

    I've read - as my post said waaaayyyyy too much research - that these heads have small valves - 1.78 /1.50 which is the same as the original heads valve sizes - but have an aggressively small "Fast Burn" chamber that runs around 10cc smaller than the original stock heads - which is my "cheat" to...

    I've done a ton of research- so now I'm really confused....

    Dan the Man- the heads I have found are the 4323302 - listed as 85-86 318 LA series heads - which I'm hoping will raise my compression ration a tad - is that correct?

    I've done a ton of research- so now I'm really confused....

    Good evening All, I've just purchased a very clean 66 cuda that while being in pretty good shape also runs terribly. It's a 273 2 bbl car- automatic all original to the car but until I can pull this combination and replace with a mildly built 360 /380 that I already own I was wondering how to...

    Starting a new project car and need help with parts interchangeability

    That actually sounds pretty impressive - amazing looking Dart there , by the way - but how much trouble is it to move the leaf springs?

    Starting a new project car and need help with parts interchangeability

    Thanks for all the info on the front end - that is very good news since it's almost all new parts. On the rear that;s great news about the springs - and I am assuming that the Cuda still has the smaller bolt-pattern rear axles will the duster ones swap over as well? I am not sure about the axle...

    Starting a new project car and need help with parts interchangeability

    Hi all, I am starting a new project which would entail transferring parts from my 70 duster donor car to a 1965 Barracuda and before I find out the hard way that this isn't a good idea I thought I might ask the resident gurus if I'm barking up the wrong tree here. The front end on the...
