This feels more like carb is starving or flooding or kinda like the choke is on which it is not.

Far as I know its good but I will be checking everything. Like to replace the plugs, check the timing and adjust the carb better. This carb acts like an accelerator diaphragm is worn out

Thanks, where on the choke tower are the numbers, middle rt or left side. Have not looked yet.

I have a Holley 4 barrel on my 225 Slant Six. Not sure of the size that it is. How does one determine which size? Figuring the one on my car needs a rebuild as there is some hesitation on normal acceleration. Car runs and starts ok but taking first gear up in the higher RPMS the engine...

All the 'feathers' I have seen were small bolt with drums on all four corners. Now dont forget the aluminum stuff has to stay to make it all work. Light stuff was intake, exhaust pipes, underside of hood and trunk, and bumper brackets, (thinking I forgot something). Anyhow, when tuned right...

Thanks for the responses. I will have to look for that spot on the manifold 'grump'. That would eliminate having to use either carb afor pcv and would clean up the install a bit making it look much cleaner. Its still got a long way to go before the setup is installed. I had an option of buying a...

Since nobody has recently written a book on how-to's on running dual carbs on a slant maybe somebody here has pics or info I could use on my attempt at running this manifold setup I have. I have mocked up the carbs on the manifold and am now running PCV hose, Vac advance hose, linkage and...

I got mine from the local CarQuest. I had to trim about an inch and a half off of mine for a better fit but that was it. I absolutely hate those flex hoses. I have had to use them on a car or two back in the day. The first thing I would do is yank the spring out. When they start to rust they...

Thanks for the info. I am going to wait until the holidays are over and during the dark of winter list these long tube Hookers for sale. Talked to someone at Clifford and he also said the flanges were what I was looking for. Kind of pricey for them but dont want the exhaust manifold with the new...

Which is better overall. I know Hookers are long tube (better balance and little more power) and Cliffords are shorties but a few things do concern me. Are the Hookers a bit close to the power steering box? Reason being I want to drive the car ALOT and dont want to 'cook' the gearbox in the...

As the picture shows, I am an old 'coot' and youth is long gone, (not to mention a much smaller body) and I can still get a motor swapped in good time. I get the car on jackstands, undo everything on the bottom side, tranny crossmember, linkage, driveshaft, exhaust, speedo cable, get topside and...

Moper, that valve cover looks like a J.C. Whitney cheapo (Ebay $25.00, $30.00 bucks) and without the baffles this would be a sloppy setup, I think I see an oil slick around the PCV!! I have to wonder if this was a race car why the luggage rack and that strange spotlight? You are right with me on...

I would love to sit down with this guy and hear everything about this motor in detail. A built slant is a built slant. If this engine has the goodies he states inside of it with the manifold and 390 the bucks for the motor alone could be worth it. two things that come to mind at least for me is...

Are you getting Hooker Super Comps or another brand. The guy who sold me my super comps said the number six tube will hit the booster. I dont have power brakes so I do not know? That is what I was told of that helps. Someone will chime in with a solution to your problem I am sure. This site is...

Hey, for sh$#s and giggles look around a place with a bunch of old forklifts out to pasture. Older TowMotor lifts had industrial slants in them. Get one of those, rebuild it and forget about newer slants. After reading what I just typed I think I am gonna take a peek for one myself? Chas.

I went with Turquoise. That blue just is not the color for me. Maybe on a white, red, or black car it may look decent but with B5 blue its just did not look good. Chas

Thanks 6pak, if I get that right power steering and clearance on the underside wont be a big isssue but the starter clearance will? In addition there is something with the hedders and intake fitment. I think this one may be the difference in thickness on the flange? I did see this when I mocked...

Can I nudge some of you with these hedders on you cars for 'the skinny' on fitment?? I had purchased these a few years back and up until now I thought everything was all good. Some info was hinted to me there may be fitment woes? I have a 70 Swinger with a slant/904 combo. First question is WILL...

Cant we all just get along??????????????

Yeah, just like a balast resistor in the glovebox as a spare one of these joining it cant hurt either. Thanks Fishy, Kittypancake stated he ran his a bit different. If its two wires, both to the coil thats even easier. For me appearance is everything. I did not want to do this because I hate...

SO......... I have a bone stock slant six in my 70 Swinger. points, condenser, rotor, wires, balast resistor. This Pertronics thingy goes in place of the points. Just one wire to a stock balast resistor, one wire to the coil, a small hole drilled into the dizzy housing and thats it? Does this...

Thanks, already have an idea of how to run the linkage using the mounting bosses etc. that the intake has. I am going to adapt the pre 67 linkage and make it work on the later a body type. Im starting with threaded rod, light welding etc. to fab up the parts. Then comes the fun of making the...

Thanks to everybody for the help. Lots of numbers on this carb. I found 8007-2122 on the neck of the carb, 7204-7 on the body, 388 on the butterfly, and 7800-3 on the bottom side of the plate. This carb is like new. Bought it a few years back and just never put it on the car. Ditto for the...

I had what I thought was a holley 390. I cant find any numbers saying what it is. There is other numbers on the carb body, butterfly and underside of the base. What should I be looking for?/ Thanks, Chas

getting a dual carb intake. This ones coming off the slant and going in a box and on the shelf. I have to seal the daylights out of the carb as its like new. The intake could use some 'elbow grease' before it gets boxed. Shame to let this sit but I want the two carbs. Just something I have been...

Have you changed the pickup in the distributor yet? Just a stupid question (maybe) but could you have access to a spare module. Just because its new does it mean it good. Crappy manufacturing has caused many a headache on my repairs over the years. Check all your grounds around the underhood...

Ah, I dont have one of those (see picture) so it all 'Greek' to me. I would get them points changed out. Most likely they have corrosion on the contacts. THAT will make that car run 'not so good', hope you have small arms and hands. My forearm is 17 inches around and I have some big mitts so...

Good to go on Mopars in the park!! Thats like the 24th of this month right. I am planning on attending as well!! Wouldnt want you to take all them slant trophies, HA HA!! Anyhow, I would like to meet you and see that car in person. Better not let me be alone with that car without some...

Hey Buddy, Sounds like you have everything under control. What did you gap the plugs at? Like 35 on a feeler guage?? I have never used a torque wrench on the plugs. Most likely not correct but I snug them and give the ratchet one extra little nudge. One thing though. If you put new plugs on...

Hey Tony, leave it in. There is something to be said about 'all show and no go' My car is the absolute most dependable car I have owned (and I have had alot of them) and mine always draws a crowd!! Chas.
