Thanks, I thought it was earlier than that. That’s what I get for owning 66/67 cars only.

I would guess there are 2 seal kits available - one for the early (small pinion shaft) and one for the later (large pinion shaft). A 69 Charger should have the larger one.

Popping through the exhaust is often a lean condition and sometimes caused by an exhaust leak at the manifold of head pipe allowing air to enter. Looking at the bottom of your carb with the throttle seated on the idle stop, you want to see just enough of the transfer slot below the blades, to...

Like I said I don’t own any dual pumper, mechanical linkage Holleys. How are they linked? Is it a progressive mechanical linkage such that the rear plates open later than the front and open faster so all reach full open at the same time? A 1:1 linkage was all I could come up with to imagine...

What’s wrong with it? If it’s just leaking it can be resealed and seals would be a lot less in shipping.

OK - well scratch that post.

So as I understand your concern, it’s is the lean AFR at a 60 mph cruise. At 60 mph with a 3.23 rear I would think you have to be into the main fuel circuit even if you don’t think the throttle is depressed much. I don’t have any double pumper Holleys and I suppose that since you are cruising...

I didn’t catch he was in Canada so that price is less than outrageous and more just way to high for the unknowns and work that would have to be put into it. Has anyone even seen the VIN tag or trim tag?

I never did see any good detail pictures of the interior, engine/transmission/diff date codes, under-hood and chassis. How is anyone to judge what level of work and cost will be necessary to get it on the road again? Considering some of these cars with a few warts but are cosmetically and...

I had my wife start taking SS as soon as she was eligible, thinking at the time that the system was quickly going broke. But by the time I started contemplating retirement I was less concerned about its immediate future. So I decided to wait to start mine until I quit working. As an old Civil...

Could a too-tight axle play adjuster on the rt (pass side) cause something like this? I wouldn’t think so but something weird going on.

Apparently born the same year as my Dad. “What is it Lassie? Where’s Timmy?” RIP June.

I still remember the old glasspacks I use to run on my 64 Sport Fury and 70 GTO as a kid as my favorite sounding exhaust. Not the best for performance with OEM pipe sizes but I still liked their rap and rumble after blowing them out a little.

Yes, I think what was sold to you was missing a couple of pieces that were supposed to bolt into those tube brackets on the rear of the frame to triangulate on the main mast. But I don’t see any bolt holes in those stub ups for attachment (?). But that bolt is crazy too. Glad no one was hurt.

Aluminum heads grow more than steel heads and valve train parts with heat. Thus clearances may well open up when hot. No idea how much on a Hemi. An old Chevy Engineer said the Chevy Power Manual said to set clearances with aluminum heads at .010” tighter than specified hot lash. But that’s...
