340 cam for 318

Or common sense and courtesy to keep their tator-hole shut if the don't have something constructive to provide....

did you not read the TOS when you signed up? a membership to FABO insists that you chime in with an unsolicited two-cents on a topic that you have no relevant information on or practical knowledge of. posting totally irrelevant or wrong information is at the discretion of the user and is awarded points in another unknown and totally arcane system.
 
318,340,360, it doesn't really matter. I remember when we use to race down on hall street there was a guy who had a 360 dart sport that had no problem with out running the 340 cars and a couple of big block cars. He would say it doesn't matter what horsepower your car has if you can't get it to the ground and know how to drive it. He knew how to tune and get that extra power out of the simplest modifications, those were the days.

DTM out there racing his huffy and adjusting the chain for better bite with his cheeto fingers in between doling out nuggets of tuning advice to guys with big blocks.
I never gave our any tuning advice to anyone with or without a big block.

oh really?

how about this little bit then from just this past march?

I'll admit I have very little experience with carburetors, but I do remember years ago that a guy who raced at MAR, had a '68 roadrunner with a warmed up 383, he had a Holley 1050 dominator on it and it was pretty much a dog off the line. I heard him complaining about how poorly his car was running and I said get rid of that wash tub carburetor and single plane intake, and use anthing other than those champion plugs and go with a 750 dp and a good dual plane intake manifold. He did just that and his cars performance greatly improved.

Picking a cam is the easy task.

The real chore is: Where is Baggs going to come up with a set of New Old School USA Made quality lifters to use on first light, while the cam is supposed to be breaking in?

No sense in melting down a fresh engine with today's lifters.

Another good reason to use his existing cam and already broke in lifters, but that would have required keeping the lifters in the correct order as they came out.

Hmmm....

I was talking about today. And I know that you don't believe me and that's your right but after I talked to the guy his car ran better.

This is why a simple question always turns into 10 or more pages of BS. A simple performance upgrade can be done with a page or less especially if the topic doesn't wonder but I know for a FACT that can not and will not happen on here.

Sounds like the Dan and his friend can't tune what they got. Learn how to Tuna-Carb or at least make a Tuna Salad

If you recall, the guy said that he tried different jets, etc. Exactly what he did or didn't do I really don't know and don't care. He asked me what I would do and I said that I would go to a smaller carb.

you absolutely were not. let's look at the post from mere hours ago:

hm. that seems to contradict your statement seeing as "never" would seem to include the "past" no?

you ALSO said later in that thread that you never saw him again after the swap...

The roadrunner I spoke of earlier, I don't know how much cam he had, it had a noticeable idle to it. I don't know what the compression ratio was or what was done to the cylinder heads. All I remember is that it was a dog off the line and he lost a few times to sbc and sbf. Like I said earlier that I suggested that he get rid of his 1050 dominator and single plane intake. He did go to a holley 750 DP and a dual plane intake, I'm not sure but I think that he went with a Weiand. After he did the carb / intake swap I didn't see him again, I had heard that he had sold the car but I don't know this as a fact.

hmmm. interesting.

He said that he tuned and tuned that carburetor and still ran poorly, all I know is that going from that 1050 to a 750dp made a huge difference

how would you know this, if you never saw him or the car again? even more interesting!

you said that i don't have to believe you, and that's my right. and indeed it is, but here is proof from your *own* flapping goat lips that proves you're less than truthful about the entire course of events!

we shall not be swayed with your imaginary constructs and social artifice!
 
Crab legs, salad, party potatoes, and Cheddar Bay biscuits here then un-wrap a pile of presents
party potatoes: casserole style or the mashed potato style?

for the record, i don't think either is "one true way" as i've had it both ways and it was delicious.
 
that depends on if you like girls who show their tattoos one at a time and have a snarky attitude
She does not sound like she is going to be very helpful putting the shaft in. And if and when does, it is gonna be a quickie.
She's gonna ruin all the cam bearings. Pass.
