    Why run dual quads?

    I've run 3 different intakes with 4 different carbs, or 5 plus efi, depending on how you look at it. Built 383, began with a tunnel ram and two Holley 390s. It was ok, slight hesitation at go, drivable, made great hp/torque. Just didn't like those carbs for some reason. Switched to a Torker II...

    Fuel line routing through front fender well

    This is what I did. PTFE braided line from the filter/regulator mounted on the frame rail near the tank, through the crossmember, up to the top of the inner fender. 1 line, no kinks, rubber grommets in the crossmember, rubber hose and velcro heat wrap over the line as it snakes through the...

    Dual quad info

    I started with Summit twin Holley 390 dual quad package, that's just the carbs. Needed to also get the Holley Vacuum Secondary Carburetor Accessories 20-73, as well as an air cleaner setup. Then went to 600s, bought used and rebuilt. Far cheaper than the 390s and a huge difference. Always had...

    Dual quad info

    I bought a length of metal rod from a hardware store and threaded the ends. The 2 joints, and the 2 piece aluminum parts that screw into each other on the tbs came from summit. Bolts and nuts from my stash. I know I reconfigured the nuts/bolts recently, but still very similar to pic. Works...

    Fitech Wiring Issues

    I installed both a positive and negative hub. Negative ground hub next to battery, positive hub under dash. Connected both the ignition start and run wires, as well as the FiTech white wire to the positive hub.

    Fuel tank install

    I've had my tank in and out multiple times, unfortunately. DMT gasket, a clean inlet tube, an empty tank, wipe a little oil on the seal, twist the tank up onto the inlet, a jack standing by with something soft on it, start the bolt, tighten down, done.

    best engine bay place for a fuel pressure gauge

    Interesting. Just spit balling here, but wouldn't an old school mechanical fuel pump that has been used since the dawn of man be more susceptible to the fuel draining back, than an electric pump failing to pump fuel forward? Obviously there is a big difference in the amount of pressure between...

    best engine bay place for a fuel pressure gauge

    My regulator is on the frame rail next to the tank, one line up to engine. Gauge is on the throttle body staring at me. Not the greatest pic. Might get a better reading if it was on the line before the tb, they make fittings with a port and I was going to mount it there, but I wanted to see it...

    Tank's INC Vent/Rollover Valve

    It's the factory vent connected to the fill tube, there's a short section of rubber hose, run a line up from the tanksinc tank vent to it and put a T fitting, done. The metal factory loop goes above the filler tube, then down the side of the fill tube, out through the trunk floor gasket, into...

    Tank's INC Vent/Rollover Valve

    Just to clarify, I'm not venting the tank into the trunk. There is a vent for the factory fill tube, it runs from the top of the vent tube through the vent tube trunk floor gasket to the outside. Iirc, mine has a short soft line into a hard line loop, then a soft line out. I tapped into the...

    Tank's INC Vent/Rollover Valve

    From the tanksinc tank vent, splice into the filler vent in the trunk, as high as you can. Iirc, they supply a plastic T. Ditch the rollover valve.

    FI recommendation for 360 Dart

    Fresh off a large purchase in the thousands that didn't work from day 1, not efi, the last thing I want to state is, my efi works fine so therefore no problem here = no problem at all, someone just had an unlucky draw from the pot, or user error. The reality is my efi does work fine, minus a...

    FI recommendation for 360 Dart

    Whatever you get don't spend a boatload and skimp on everything that supports the system and blame your new fancy purchase when it fails. Things like tank, fuel delivery/return, filter, regulator, wiring, charging, ignition, plugs, grounds, psi gauge, throttle, electrical shielding, etc. You...

    Dual Feed Fuel Line Setup

    Like this - without the tap. Those Summit chrome carb fittings are nice pieces, and come in different degrees, these are the 45s.

    Dual Feed Fuel Line Setup

    The ptfe braided stuff, looks aside, is incredibly easy to use. Cutting the line and attaching a fitting takes a minute or two tops. The push together stuff, I think that's what it's called, is a nightmare.

    Dual Feed Fuel Line Setup

    After a few variations, including a self made hard line setup that worked well for some time, I bought the fancy chrome line with the gauge port and the lines were filled with some kind of brown dried up garbage. Read the reviews and discovered I wasn't the only one. The line seemed fine...

    FI Tech fuel injection info

    Check their website, you can download the ppwk that came with it. There is also a Q&A section with questions from customers. Call them if you need more info, they have always been helpful. Had mine since 2018. I set the IAC and let it learn. Changed some settings here and there, but just minor...

    Dual Quad Inline Linkage - Homemade

    That sucker is metal. Here's another tip, as there were 2 or 3 of those rods left over from that swingset. Instead of spending whatever for cheap plastic sunvisor tips, slid them right in, sturdy, they're pretty long and slide all the way in, work great.

    Dual Quad Inline Linkage - Homemade

    I can't recall, I think it was a leftover piece from a swingset, I don't think I bought it. It's going to bother me not knowing if it's aluminum or not, cause I was thinking the same thing and couldn't recall, so I'll probably go stick a magnet on it.

    Dual Quad Inline Linkage - Homemade

    Doh! Thought I put that in there, Summit. That bracket was more than the cable and everything else combined. They didn't have a good pic at the time, iirc it was a new product. Not worth the $ unless you have an auto, kickdown stuff included, and are lazy like me.

    Dual Quad Inline Linkage - Homemade

    I've received a number of questions on where I got my inline linkage, so here goes. I was unable to locate an aftermarket dual quad inline throttle linkage, except for one that was T shaped, causing it to bend and even bend the carb bracket, or a progressive linkage, which wouldn't work for me...

    What EFI Systems are you running?

    Whatever you get, spend the $ on the fuel system, charging system, wiring. I got a tanksinc tank, in tank pump with AN fittings, braided PTFE, pressure gauge, upgraded alternator, fusebox, circuit breaker, hubs, grounds, etc.

    Efi tunnel ram ????

    Bought an MSD for timing control, hopefully get that installed soon. Went from 390s to 600s to efi. Would never go back. My advice, don't skimp on tank, pump, lines, and update electrical. Needed to shield coil wire to prevent electronic noise fault.

    I love my Fitech 2x4 1200 system

    I have the duals on a tr, started it the other day with a flick of the key no problemo after a few months. I typically turn the key twice when cold. It will shoot some fuel and prime the system each time, priming twice who cares, an extra shot of fuel helps with the tr. I never have a high...

    Question about carbs for tunnel rams

    One could argue it looks strange either way. Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to understand what's going on here. The rear of the tr should be higher, because the engine is higher in the front, however the top of the tr should be flat across both mounting pads. With the carbs off I can put...

    Question about carbs for tunnel rams

    Is the sb tr supposed to be higher in the front? Is it on backwards? On mine, the higher section of the top goes on the rear, so the carbs are level to the car.

    Fitech

    Tanksinc, Hyperfuel in-tank, ptfe lines(teflon covered in braided stainless), AN fittings, Wix filter/regulator mounted to the frame by the tank. I believe you can now get a Hyperfuel pump that fits the Tanksinc fuel pump ring, I had to cut mine out to fit the larger diameter pump. Worth it for...
