Jeep HEI for Hemi 6, possibly slant 6 (and GM Holden 6)

[Dave999]

Dave,
I have one of J. Passini's book on Webers. Is there more than one...& is it still available? The one I have: ISBN 9781855207592

neither available new but loads around second hand

weber carburetors seems to be a combined volume
otherwise they are marked 1 Theory and 2 tuning and maintenance orange and green or yellow

the black and white flag one seems to be combined volume i just purchased 1 and 2 to make sure...
proper engineer....mad as a box of frogs mind... loves a 36x36 DCD which is a carb you don't see much anymore closest these days i think is the DGAS DGES 23x34 or 38 x38 which supposedly works nice on a 4.2 jeep motor where a BDD once sat. torque rather than top end

whack the ISBN into google and see which one pops up.

the config tables for factory set up are useful if you sort the configs into
single runner small 4 cylinder
shared runner small 4
single runner 6 and 8
you can spot patterns that prove useful

i like his books he assumes from the start that you will have done some daft stuff and dug yourself into a hole.... marginal ignition, ported to hell, crap headers wrong cam shaft etc etc
explains that "souped up" or "souped" and "Tuned" are two totally different things. one achieves better performance one just makes it louder and slower.. for that alone... genius.. he ain't daft, its like he knew me in my 20s/30s .

Thanks for the link Dave, got it bookmarked
I've got a spare steering box hanging around that I might convert to 16:1 ratio and swap in the next time i have the front end appart.
My webers are E37/E48 carbs so the rear carb has the vacuum fitting I just capped it off, will give one of those anti pulse valves a go.

unofficial factory fix, according to some guy on facebook who appeared to work for CAL
was to stick a ball bearing in the vacuum pipe..... i.e give up trying and switch it off. make the complainant go away....
presumably dealers with race cars that didn't quite run right when not being used as race cars got this special service.

dunno if there is any truth in it, but a few of the old hands from the chrysler Australia workforce do seem to pop up with "storys" every now and again to entertain us slightly...younger folk
