    Carb conundrum

    Why yes. I believe you covered that in about every perceivable way. Nice work! :D

    Carb conundrum

    Do you have a TQ to put that gasket against? I wonder if the throttle bores stretch to the outer limits of the spread bore gasket. Maybe try and line a square bore gasket up to the bottom of the TQ and see how much of the gasket you would need to trim up to just uncover the throttle bores. Then...

    Carb conundrum

    Same as if it were on the factory CI manifold or another spread bore manifold. The notches and troughs between the port and the throttle bores allow for vacuum to pass from a sideways perspective. On an open spacer or open manifold, the ports are just exposed from the bottom instead.

    Carb conundrum

    Well.....the Holley/Demon Street Demon looks like a TQ and bolts onto a square bore intake. If I were to ever stray from my Holley, this would probably be the first carb I would try.

    Paint exhaust manifolds?

    Should be fine. Seen quite a few dudes use them on early motors.

    Intake Manifold Options 340

    I did not check the A/F, nor did I change the jets, but interestingly enough, when I decided to pull the 650DP and give it a rebuild, I tossed on a new-ish 600 Eddy temporarily and the same thing happened. Just felt like the motor forgot how to motor. I had never been more excited when I got the...

    Radiator core tubes....

    On the stock 22" 3 row radiators for the 70-72 340 Dusters, what size were the core tubes? My 71 came with a 4 row when I bought it, but has always has trouble keeping it's cool. Ive flushed the thing, boiled it, etc, but it always runs on the hot side in warm weather. Out of clear random, I...

    Intake Manifold Options 340

    I had made the decision to swap the smaller carb after reading a few carb comparison articles. On a small Chevy, there was a comparo done between a slew of Holleys from 390 up to 950, all mechanical secondaries. The difference in peak and average power from the 650 to 750 was so slight, probably...

    Intake Manifold Options 340

    I have a build that is fairly similar to yours. Being a 360, it does have the bigger stroke, but it's about 10:1CR, Lunati Voodoo 268/276* .494/.513", Mild ported J heads 2.02/1.60 valves, stock iron exhaust. Originally had the Performer and a 750 DP on top. Then, I swapped to an RPM (non air...

    Demon carbs

    I had a 750 when they first came out. I kept having weird stumble problems no matter what I did. After a while, I talked to their CS rep whom asked me to send it back to them. They sent me a new one and it was one of the most responsive carbs I have ever used. Apparently, some of the very first...

    What kind of plug wires are you guys running

    I use the Summit Orange "resto" wires with the 135* ends. Seems to work quite well, and keeps the boots away from the manifolds. I think Packard makes them.

    Espo Springs 'n Things install feedback ***

    My Duster also has the Espo +1 springs. These have been on for a few years, so they should be completely settled. Just pay NO attention to the rusty quarter panel. Ill get to that soon. lol

    Finally solved my over heating problem!!!

    I have seen these fans make holes in hoods, even with shrouds.

    Espo Springs 'n Things install feedback ***

    I would leave the front as is. The rears will settle after some poundage and probably sit about an inch lower when settled. My Duster went through the same resting process with the same ESPO springs.

    210° @ Cruise and 180° @ Stop? What's Going On?

    Some of you guys might want to check your valve lash or preload. I have an older mechanical rocker arm set up with the iron arms and adjustment screws in my 360. My engine would always get a bit hot, so after going through a few things I decided to check the preload for ***** n giggles. I dont...

    Corsa used to sell their dB series mufflers seperate, but I can't even find those anymore either.

    any tips on cleaning out the cowl?

    Hmm. Not sure my MS paint skills are up to snuff for that, but I could try something lol.

    Hmm. Ill have to inspect those closer, too. Thanks for the tip!

    Better gauges in a stock cluster?

    I dont know if I want to get quite that trick looking, but dang that looks sweet. The backlighting on that looks super clear. I was going to TRY and keep it as stock-looking as possible. I know redline does improvements, but last quote I got from them was a little more than I want to pay.

    Too late for a Bruce/Caitlin Jenner tranny joke?

    Better gauges in a stock cluster?

    tnts72, that looks nice. How did you secure the mounting for the overlay panel? Drill an identical hole behind where the gauge would sit and use the clamping pods to secure the plate to the old cluster?

    Better gauges in a stock cluster?

    Didn't think to check the interior section. Oops.

    Better gauges in a stock cluster?

    Yes, just like that! What size guages did you use? The stock holes are pretty small, and most gauges seem to be about 2 1/16" or larger. This would be for a '71 Duster. Same cluster, I believe.

    Better gauges in a stock cluster?

    Has anyone tried to mount a set of aftermarket gauges behind the face of a non-Rallye dash cluster? I would like to have mine either refreshed of upgraded, and was wondering if anyone had tried this before.

    05 Hemi problems

    What EGR code? Was it for a circuit malfunction? P0406 or P0404? Sometimes you can give the EGR unit/sensor a light whack or two and straighten them out temporarily. Does the engine run rough when the revs are at 2500 and lower, or does it just cut out completely?

    any tips on cleaning out the cowl?

    My buddy had a 'Lil Red Express and the dual snorkel air cleaner had a vacuum pot on each side. One was to close one of the vents, the other was to toggle between the fresh air and manifold heater. Under cruise, there's enough vacuum to hold the doors open for manifold heat, get into the...

    Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers..

    Not sure the p/n, but they are the older Performance XL models. Still straight through, but they have rolled bead lock seams instead of the welded seams like the rest of the Magnaflows. I mean, the engine is relatively mild, iron manifolds with 2 1/4" pipes.

    Hmm. Maybe I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers..

    You guys say the Ultra Flo's are fairly drone free? I have a pair of Magnaflows on my car and I swear it drones more than when I had a pair of Flowmaster 40s on the car.

    Hellcats not impressed..

    Not to mention that they weigh about 4300lbs. Low 11s/high 10s. I've also seen a few outrun the new Z06 Vettes. Meh. Not impressed.
