Just saw this post. I do recognize the car, its mine. The wheels and tires came with the car. I could have had the stock wheels but these looked much better than the old stock wheels and tires. I love the way it looks and I have had a lot of people tell me they like it too. The headers...

Mattax thanks and especially post #67. I'm not a mechanic, just a guy who can do a few things on a car if needed. So I would need to get comfortable with doing what you suggest with the rockers before I would tackle. Again thanks. RRR thanks for your previous posts (at least most of them)...

I appreciate everyone's input. Trying to sort it all out. In terms of what cam is in it I don't know. The place I bought it from did not know which one was in it. Is the only way to find out is to tear it apart? I bypassed that OSAC valve and it seemed to run better. I will keep it like...

Ok would like to resurrect this post. To refresh, I am getting 6 mpg on 1973 Dart Sport 340 that has a Edelbrock 650 with some sort of performance cam in it (do not know what cam is in it). I finally got a digital timing light and was able to determine initial and total timing. Initial...

Hey Rusty I tried to check the timing. Car idling at 850 - 900 rpm with the vac gauge hose plugged. #1 cylinder is on driver's side first cylinder closest to front of car, right? The timing mark does not show up on the timing tab. The timing tab ranges from 10 before and 10 after with 10...

Yes not sure what that valve does so you are right this would be something to look at.

Thanks for the post. That is a good question. Given the 4 barrel, performance cam and headers I expected more performance from it. Its not a dog but I think I should be getting more out of it. Maybe a slight hesitation when starting out from a dead stop. Let me know what you think.

Memphis area is very flat so not cruising in any hilly areas.

Appreciate that.

Thanks for the post. There is a vacuum line coming off the distributor and it hooks up to something on the firewall. It is the top line in the picture. Not sure what that thing is that it is hooked up to. So I'm not sure what the source of the vacuum would be.

Tennessee. Memphis area.

Thanks for the suggestions I will get to work on some of this and report back. I appreciate everyone's comments and assistance. Keep 'em coming.

Car Nut here is a picture of her. B5 Blue she is very pretty!

Hey guys thanks for the quick reply. I will answer some of the questions that I can right now. I believe the speedometer and odometer is correct. Not sure what rear gear is in the car. How can I tell what I have? There is no fuel leak. Could it be running rich, maybe. After I drive it a...

Hey guys, brand new to the forum. I just recently (about 30 days ago) bought a 1973 Dart Sport 340. It has a 340 with a performance cam, Edelbrock 650 4 barrel carb, headers with the Torqueflite automatic transmission. The first couple of tanks look like I am getting a little over 6 miles...
