So...did this ever get done? :D Might be worth using an adapter plate and the (much smaller) TH700 rather than the 46RH. Actually...might the 700 have a removeable bell? If so, I think someone (SST...maybe...?) makes a Mopar bell for it. (Though that might only be the 4L60E.)

I'm pretty sure you quoted the wrong post.

Year varies by state (some 2001, some 1980, some 20 years), but correct: other than Massachusetts, New England states do not title old cars. (Nor do many other states.)

I honestly don't know how that is even POSSIBLE. Heck-I have no way to "prove" I was a resident of several places I have lived. Yes. MANY states simply DO NOT TITLE old cars-VT, ME, NH, RI, CT, GA, AL, and PA come to mind. (It's even more common with bikes.) At a guess, he didn't have a...

Why wouldn't they? 99% of them have Chevy running gear and most have no Ford parts.

Their 550hp is from about 380ci. The Barton motor has a big cam, single-plane intake, and very poor vacuum signal, so it always ran somewhat rich at cruise. (Otherwise, it would lean out.)

One is a mild 5.9 Magnum in a 62 Savoy. The other is a rip-roaring ~500hp Ray Barton motor in a road-race Valiant.

What are you running now? Because this seems like exactly the thing a ThermoQuad was designed to prevent. Also: what altitude are you at? High altitude makes all that worse. I have had good luck on carbs (motorcycles) using StarTron and StaBil for ethanol. Something is very wrong, because...

FWIW, a guy who has been wrenching and tuning Mopars for almost sixty years, and actually pioneered several now-common upgrades, called swapping from a carb to MPI "the single best thing he ever did" on a car.

Possible fix: carb spacer. Either plastic or wood. If no room for that, the thickest foam or cork gasket you can find. And a heat shield. And if you're not running one, consider a ThermoQuad. Do you use Sta-Bil? I have found draining is probably a bad idea. The contrary-FILL the tank with...

Yes, and still has the km/h speedometer. I recall they also sold a Volare-based "Super Bee" south of the border. This one seems to essentially be a Duster 360. Not sure it's worth $18K, but kind of cool.

Saw this on eBay (I need to stay off eBay), and had never heard of it before: 1976 Plymouth Valiant 5.9 superbee | eBay .

There's no real compromise with a TQ. It might be the best street carb ever made. And most of them flow more than your AVS.

I would do this. But with aluminum heads and air conditioning.

Sounds like you could use a well-tuned ThermoQuad and maybe a gear swap...

I might actually do that. Good heads, probably a dual plane (Performer RPM or M1) intake, mild roller cam, TQ carb...2.94 or 2.76 gears and OD. Might top 25mpg highway in a Duster. Friend did it...has a 408 stroker with I think the old MP aluminum Magnum heads, in an Aspen wagon with a low gear...

I thought LL23 was a base hardtop, LM23 was a Swinger, and LH23 was a Swinger 340...?

In many states, removing liability will get the registration revoked. What.

Fortunately, high-quality bearings not from China are still available.

And that's when they weren't DELIBERATELY putting weird stuff in cars. (Like the Hamtramck-built E-bodies with "ROCK" in the trunks.)

Also be aware: the Magnum and the LA 360 are both external balance, but it is a DIFFERENT balance!

Rock Auto offers wiper refills. Store them inside and out of the sun, they'll last years. The mini-starters were always imported...the OEM supplier was Nippondenso. Note that the Powermaster "one wire" alternators are Chinese.

Try a shop that rebuilds electric motors.

You can almost certainly get a title unless the car has an issue with the VIN. Worst case, there's Vermont.

Neither is that one. It's a swapped slant six car.

Maybe. But...hells bells, $25,000 for a 75 Duster?

20+MPG? That a slant six?

This. A couple pads in each door and a layer under the carpet makes a big difference. So does eliminating exhaust drone.
