I'm sure it's a fine carb for certain purposes, but it's just a copy of a Holley.... and running a no-choke double pumper carb on a street car is not the future. That is the past.

Carb choice is really a personal one. I prefer the 4160 Holley 750 (vacuum secondary and electric choke). I seem to be able to set those up the best.

I'll keep brainstorming!

No, I owned it from 1987 to maybe around 2010 or so. It was a great car, but if I had not moved it along I would not have the cool cars I enjoy today. As much as I have tried, it's hard to be like Jay Leno and keep them all!

My old 74 U-code. I had no idea how rare it was when I drove it home for $600.

Being from WA, I mostly will not buy west-side of the State cars because of the rainfall and humidity. If they sat outside, they are always much worse than they look because they are constantly wet 9 months out of the year and rust from the inside out and anywhere water can pool. I won't even...

I have never seen a 73 Charger with front drum or non-power brakes. Even my slant 6 74 Charger with zero options had power disc brakes. That leads me to believe PDB were standard. If the car has a fender tag, it will say which brake option the car had. Original master and boosters are still...

The best deal (quality for the buck) you can get is typically a guy that has a shop at his house, has been doing it for a living (not a side gig) for 10 years+, and has a wait list to get started. These guys typically don't advertise, so to find them go to cruise-ins and ask around, or ask on...

Are you sure you typed in the right URL?

When the grill is properly cleaned BEFORE cooking, it's not a problem. Billions of grills have been cleaned this way. Joe-Bob scraping away right next to the burger cooking, ....well you just can't fix stupid.

Maybe something like this?

Thank you. I asked out of the curiosity that it had been raced with a 727, which would have been unusual. Would love to see more photos as the project progresses. :thumbsup:

I knew a guy who raced on the salt and he used to set his car up on tall jack stands in the driveway and run sprinklers under the car for several days. He said even that did not work 100%. This was before some of the chemicals they have today.

Interesting. I see an 8-3/4 axle... so this car was an automatic and raced as such? Glad to see you are restoring it to as-raced condition instead of something else. Very cool project.

Does anyone have an online discount code for this? :lol:
