    Oil at PVC Fitting?

    Okay- just checking. Some people have sold me engines blowing oil smoke before and it was lack of breather or pvc and breather on same side. lol!

    Oil at PVC Fitting?

    I’ve got a silly question: you have a breather on one side and a pcv on the other …. Right? Just asking because if there is now way for the air to get in it will suck oil regardless of baffles. Syleng1

    73 duster vented gas tank ?

    This is an early abody tank for my barracuda set up for fuel injection - electric fuel pump in the tank. If you look at the photo one vent line from the pump “y” with the top nipple on the tank. This is where you attach the roll over valve if you don’t have the factory set up. If your tank is...

    73 duster vented gas tank ?

    Here a the thing. People removed everything emissions back in the day. Problem is today’s fuel evaporates very quickly. When the ethanol fuel evaporates- the by product is water. Some sort of check valve to let air in and keep pressure in is better. A “roll over valve” helps. Tanks inc in Iowa...

    Who has had good experiences with the Brawler series of carburetors?

    Rusty, I use chapstick on my gaskets. I just rub each gasket down both sides with chapstick and they come apart easily even after a few years of use. The blue gaskets help. Syleng1

    Edelbrock LD340 WTH?!?!?

    So I just used the search feature and they typically sell used on this board for $290-$375 used. For that much money I would wait for an LD-340 intake all day long.

    Edelbrock LD340 WTH?!?!?

    Okay but that intake is almost $500 new. LD-340s typically are like $300 used. What is the cost used going for? I’ve not priced them used. But I bet it is close.

    Edelbrock LD340 WTH?!?!?

    Also pre emissions and looks better than the newer manifolds. Not as cool as an airgap but for the average street car that sees a strip now and then it’s a home run. I’ve got 2 of them. Maybe I’ll sell them when it is tie to buy a lake house. lol!

    starting fluid, very detrimental?

    It works. But sadly I have seen the damage it causes first hand. Swollen piston skirts, blown out piston tops, the list goes on. Old diesels would actually become addicted to it and only start on it. The top rings take the most abuse. If you have to use it… use it cautiously. Better off...

    Classic Industries chrome fuel tank cap warning.

    I laugh when you call the company and they are like, “sure, no problem. We will send you another - no charge. And “no” we do not want the old one back.” That’s salesman speak for - “we bought them so cheap and you idiots are paying so much for them that we don’t really care they are breaking...

    Difficulties with filling the tank all the way up

    I eliminated this on my 66’ by adding a vent nipple and a roll over valve at the top of the tank. You still can not walk away while filling the tank. But “splash down the side” happens about almost never since. Side note: I bought a brand new tank to weld the vent nipple on and at the same...

    Commando vs Charger

    So what “SOUNDS” better? I’m going charger (sad trumpet sound) Or I’m going COMMANDO! (80’s montage music plays in the back ground.)

    Will this work?

    What intake did you buy? Asking “will it work?” With that slim of info is like asking what’s the price of fuel in 10years because I bought a new lawnmower. Lol! Just messing- we need more info. Syleng1

    Fuel Centralizer Ring sits in inlet manifold which way do they go , part number 1116829

    I would think a web site closer to pick ups or vintage dodge engines may be of more help than a bunch of MoPar A body guys. Leave it out here for a while- you may find someone who knows. I can not promise you that 100%. But if there is- they will help.

    Thermoquad Rods

    I love my TQs and have a few to play with. Sadly because the bow tie group could not figure them out, they went away. If they were popular and parts were still available, we would not be in this question. But like all MoPar related things, we have found away to “make it work.” Syleng1

    Thermoquad Rods

    Hell, if I wanted more fuel I just file the end of the rods flat on one side and ended up with the last step looking like. “D” Then I would fail emissions and have to buy a new carb to get thru and pass. Lol! Syleng1

    Note about parts store rebuilt carbs

    50/50 hit or miss. Napa alternators and starters rebuilds were junk but have gotten better. Bobo zone or Advanced are hit or miss. They work about 1 year and seem to quit just after warranty is up. As for carbs, remember there are not that many carbs on the road today. I do t know of any...

    Do I need a choke?

    Airgap intake… yes you will need a choke or deal with rough start until it warms up. When you make modifications away from factory you have to expect different results. Also your distributor looks a tad advanced. Off a tooth on the drive ? Maybe the picture angle is throwing me off.

    Adding a vapor can

    You do know you can buy a roll over valve for the tank vent. Basically it only opens after a certain pressure. If the valve goes upside down (like in a crash and the car rolls over) it closes off the vent, also some models will allow air into the tank but not out of the tank (again in extreme...

    gasoline in 5 gal clear plastic jug, OK or not OK?

    I too want to try this- I saw the video a few weeks ago. I’m not sure on the octane rating dropping or raising. I need to check that out as well. Lawn mowers are really low compression. Here in the communist state of Connecticut- you don’t really have the option to by ethanol free fuel at the...

    Good Holley Jet Source

    I bought the same jet kit. Great starter pack. ADHD makes me go out and buy the jets I use to fill in the blanks. But hey- it keeps me off the streets at night. Lol!

    340 Dart - Fuel Filter location

    Side add: people are not all aware about this but with some filters (barrel with in and out port factory style) not all come with those short section of hose able to handle ethanol fuels. I typically use from my local Napa Gates Green stripe fuel hose. It handles the ethanol fuels long term...

    340 Dart - Fuel Filter location

    Putting it after the pump is typical. In case of tank debris or fuel pump coming apart. It protects from both. The pump coming apart is rare but does happen. Putting a filter before the pump protects the pump from tank junk. But may cause other issues. A screen filter is best for that location.

    Help my thermoquad lost its balls

    Not for nothing - but I’m no thermoquads expert but I do love them. I started out in the early 80’s working on them and learning to tune them with books like this one. Any book newer than will have the emissions bs. Even some of the older Motor or Peterson books had Info on them back then. Good...
