    Harms Rebuilt '71 Thermoquad - Wondering Idle, Stalls when Put in Gear

    How old is the gas in the car? You need good fresh gas in the system before you attempt to tune the engine. I've seen people try to tune an engine with old gas and are pulling their hair out by the roots. A change to fresh gas and bingo! What a difference!

    Weiand Stealth 8022 - bad ports, can it be fixed or should I send back?

    Send it back, that thing is horrible.

    Six Pack carbs on ebay

    If you scroll down to see the description, it says that it includes 3 carbs. The two outboard ones are the same number. It's still mighty pricey though for the set..........

    Which gas tank to buy

    Another vote here for the Spectra tank and sending unit/pickup. It worked flawlessly from day one and is still working flawlessly 5 years later.........

    Do you guys agree?

    But I like the way Ether smells.......... And it is supposed to have an upper cylinder lubricant in it already. My dad used to buy it by the case and used it on his diesel truck engines in big dump trucks to start them up. I used to use it to start my old lawn mower that was just about dead and...

    Hypothetical Six Pack

    I highly doubt that the 440 six pack intake would fit under a stock '75 Duster/Valiant hood. And as for your question to me, i didn't run a midnight auto supply store! Actually, my brother bought a '70 Challenger R/T in '78 that was a factory 440 six pack car, and boy was that intake heavy!

    Hypothetical Six Pack

    I think that a better package would have been a 360 six pack with W2 heads and a 4 speed non o/d trans on a '76 Dart Lite. It would have been an awesome package right out of the box....... However, back in those days emissions and gas mileage were the big issues that factories and buyers were...

    Best place for Repo fuel tank and 3/8 sending unit to buy from

    I bought my Spectra brand tank and pickup from 521 Restorations in Colorado. Good prices and shipping was fast. I would buy another one from there, i talked on the phone with him and he was very knowledgeable and great to deal with. It fit great and works flawlessly.........

    NOS sending unit doesn't work

    Hmmm. My Spectra sending unit has worked perfectly since day one and is still as good today as when i installed it, and that's over 3 years now. On another note, you installed the N.O.S. one and used it for a week and aren't satisfied with it, AND want the seller to take it back and give you a...

    Slap it on or rebuild NOS carb?

    I would disassemble it and verify the float level and cleanliness of it first and also check for dry gaskets or anything that doesn't look right. It may be new, but things happen after sitting a long time. Bugs and shelf wear etc. can do strange things. If all of that checks out, then i would...

    Aftermarket Lock Ring Problems may be Solved. Please Read.

    Hmmmm. I bought a new Specra brand tank with a new sending unit and lock ring and installed it in my Dart Sport build on here. To this day there have been no leaks and the gas gauge works perfectly. I would buy another set from them in a heart beat. On the other side of the coin, a friend of...

    Best top of tank padding?

    I saw some roofing material that i thought was close....... I don't know what it is called, a buddy of mine who is a roofer came by and showed me when i was doing my car. I ended up reusing the original off my old tank on mine.

    1970 dart fresh air hood

    As cool as it would look, the factory Ramcharger set up on a '69 Super Bee was not effective because the scoop opening, the holes(slots) in the hood was not big enough to make a noticeable performance difference. There was not much air flow........ It was more of a gimmick than anything. The...

    Fuel tank compatibility: 69 Dart tank on a 73 Duster

    Get a new one, that one is banged up pretty bad. You won't regret it.......

    Ideas

    I would go with a tunnel ram with two 1050 cfm dominators. Seriously though, a dual plane aluminum intake in the brand you prefer with about a 600 cfm carb would work well.

    filler neck and spectra tank

    Mine fit great in my '74 Dart Sport. I used a new filler rubber grommet, lubed it with WD-40, and slipped it onto the tank. I re-used the top pad off my old tank which is about 1/8" thick. Then i lifted the tank into position, and installed the straps and j-bolts. I then slipped the filler...

    Need a new tank, where to buy in CAN

    I'm with George on this one.^^^^^ Same deal, i got it shipped to the border and picked it up myself. Yes, a Spectra tank manufactured in Canada, shipped down to the U.S., bought in the U.S. by me over the phone, shipped to the border for half price including the exchange and duties. Doesn't...

    HELP! Spectra Premium fuel tank-filler neck seal

    Wow! $11.79 for the part and $20.55 for shipping USPS flat rate? Actual shipping wouldn't be more than 5 bucks in a small bubble envelope. Check your local Chrysler dealer's parts department first......

    HELP! Spectra Premium fuel tank-filler neck seal

    I used one of these tanks in my Dart Sport build. It fit great with no problems at all. I had an N.O.S. filler neck seal and it worked perfectly. As far as i know, they might be still available, it doesn't hurt to check. Not sure who makes them aftermarket, i'm sure someone will chime in.......

    Good find ???? Intake manifold

    Posi? Is that a G.M. rear end you have in your car? Is it a 10 bolt or a 12 bolt? The intake is a good buy at that price as long as it's not warped........ Not ideal for your car, but a good buy.

    Good to hear about good customer service for a change. It's refreshing that some people care about the customer, not just making a sale. Thanks for posting this.

    Spectra Premium Gas Tank - do I need to paint or clear coat it?

    Clear coating is not a bad idea. They are galvanized though. I just re used the pad off my old tank, it was in good condition. They are a bit tricky to get off, but a wide putty scraper and some muscle will do it. I then used contact cement to glue it on the top like the factory did...
