    What's the absolute maximum range of your Duster?

    I have an od 833 and I don't like it. So I'd switch to a 1 to 1 4 speed before going auto. People think an od is going to save fuel and be the magical solution ....... yea if you drive like miss daisy to piggly wiggly. I'm usually kicking down to 3rd which is 1 to 1 just keep it...

    What's the absolute maximum range of your Duster?

    Your dad must have had some pixie dust fuel additive. I-25 is exactly where I do a lot of commuting. I'm betting slowing down might up the mpg but I still don't see it going from 16.5 to 26 by dropping from 85-90 to 70 mph

    What's the absolute maximum range of your Duster?

    The best I ever get with my daily driven slant is 16.5 mpg. I think that's pretty normal with a slant. I never understood that 36 mpg claim from the feather duster ..... unless you're driving in idle the whole way. Every 318 I have ever driven gets better mpg than the slant. The 318...

    Holley Carb Id

    Thanks for the replies, this is the first Holley I'm going to mess with. So far I'm not impressed how this thing is just pissing fuel everywhere. I'm going to try to rebuild it and use it. I took it off a slant six so the size makes sense. Thanks

    manual trans TQ on auto car

    the manual version doesn't have the arm to connect the kickdown linkage. The auto TQs are much more common than the manual versions. best get an auto TQ for an automatic car, improper kickdown can lead to transmission failure the 72 Manual is 6138 so you need a 6139 which is the same carb...

    Thermoquad air cleaner

    If you are going with a stock carburetor then I would go with a correct air cleaner. I'd go with a stock 1975 4 bbl. Air cleaner. They were not that rare on C bodies. Get on FCBO and find a gent "C body Bob" and you can get a stock lid for a 360 4 bbl. For pretty cheap. Then if you want...

    Single plane on a street car??

    I have a Holley street Dominator intake manifold that is a single plane (not sure if they all are) I am not really familiar with aftermarket intakes as I have only run factory parts. Is this a good manifold to use a street driven car?? The combo is a 340/4speed. the 340 is a 73 and mostly...

    avs or tq

    I didnt take in account low altitude ... Locally i have seen cars over carbed, running too rich and generally not running that great but i am also at a mile high in altitude.

    avs or tq

    I would say they are all too much .....the 6322 is for a 73 400 the 9801 is an aftermarket mopar TQ with 800 cfm and you did say mild. I have seen less carb work better than over carbing it. I would say a eddy 1406 would be better than all the above or an O.E. carb made for a 340
  16. Princess Valiant

    avs or tq

    the 4966 is for a 71 440. Tho leaned out, it's still made for a 440 which will move a lot more air. so the 4966 is probably too big.

    Thermoquad -bolts or studs

    it does matter if I use studs or bolts ....because I want what the factory put there no less or more :D:D

    When and why factory used dual snorkel?

    it should have been little red express trucks only not a ramcharger. little red express trucks were the ONLY time a small block had a dual snorkel otherwise it's pretty much a big block thing because a dual snorkel allows more air to high performance applications...

    340 air cleaner

    when I have a really pretty air cleaner it goes on my pillow to sleep next to me so that when I wake up I see its beauty instantly and I can go on with my day with a spring in my skip and mopar on my mind. :love7: at least that is what I do with my 67 Big block air cleaner :D

    carter 4131S question

    ok, the impression I get is not too much difference in function and performance. seems like the AVS is just a evolved version.

    carter 4131S question

    I have a carter AFB 4131S from a 1966 Chrysler new Yorker with a 440. The question is: did these carbs change much from 66 to 68? other than the obvious change of AFB to AVS and the air cleaner opening being a different size. what is the difference between an AFB and AVS?? If I used...
