    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Sitting in the waiting room for my wife's first colonoscopy. I have had three so nothing new for me. I did chuckle watching her run to the bathroom last night and this morning. Well at least she got her steps in. Lol

    Carb for a street/strip stroked 440

    The 800 AVS will certainly work but may lose some HP to the 850. Both need to be tuned to be optimal. What makes you hate the 850?

    Carb Advice

    Welcome. Something like an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and an Edelbrock 1406 600cfm with electric choke should be trouble free and pretty much bolt on and go. Both can be found used from time to time to save money. Dual exhaust with no larger than 2.25 pipes and mufflers of your...

    906 heads on a 413

    Carburetor Recommendation

    Is there a carb builder someone can recommend for a carb with the fuel curve already set? Tested on a running engine for a/f ratio at idle,cruise,WOT? I know jetting may change but not excessively lean or rich on any part of the fuel curve should be doable? Something around 950 cfm on a 4150...

    1966 Coronet 500 with 440 air cleaner question

    That air cleaner is a 74 (maybe later also) 440 piece. Nothing wrong with it but far from original. People do crazy things like painting the block engine color (or whatever paint they have lying around. If you can't see it in person you are leaving a lot to chance IMO.

    440 hooker headers

    Which side is rattling? Just a guess but you may have to raise it off the motor mount to loosen the header and move it enough to make some clearance dings.

    Underwhelming Coronet

    Verify basics. Compression,Timing,full throttle on the carb opening. Rear gear ratio? With no known cam specs what rpm are you shifting at? What rpm does it stop pulling hard? Can you get any timed runs for 0-60, 1/8 mile, or quarter mile? Depending on the camshaft that motor should be...
