Up for sale is my 1970 charger. It is a fresh complete restoration with over $120,000 invested. Only has 1750 miles since restoration and has all the bugs worked out. Engine- 440/493 with 8-71 bds blower currently running on e85 but can easily be converted to premium pump gas. Interior- all...

I have a car sow this weekend and maby after that I will tear into the carbs and make sure everything is cleaned and good to go, im sure there was a little $hit going thorugh them the first 800 miles of the car getting drivin from assembly

I will have to check with the engine guy on what the initial timming is set at, or go get a timming light, its 9.3:1 static compression making 8.2psi of boost. should a person not be puling timming?

yes i pulled the plugs and they look good, they are not perfect "a little rich" but not fouling or anything, I will try and snap a pic of em and put em on here, I believe they are 10's for the heat range, it does pull timming, its a 6btm with msd coil as well, not sure what initial timing is set...

ya know, i sure think it runs a little better but the stumble is still there for sure, i will do the plugs this weekend and set the gap at .020 or so and see what happens then, it really feels/sounds to me that it may be something in the carbs but i guess i will start with the plugs and see what...

okay,, so I got ahold of a very nice gentleman at aeromotive last night and he told me that I should see if there is a vacuum line attached to the regulator which there was, he said to remove it and plug the line and just let the regulator suck from atmosphere, removed the line and pressure...

it is brand new fuel that I have filled up about 4 days ago, it was doing this before I filled up to so im pretty sure its not a bad fuel issue, its had 10 new gallons through it that haven't changed anything. I spoke with the guy who built the e85 carbs and he explained that at 14psi "im only...

hey guys, few questions. I have a 871 blower on a 440 with 2 quickfuel 750 blower carbs running on e85, the car seemed to run fine early this spring and now for some reason she sputters and shakes a quite a bit when your first take off from a stop light and once you get up and going it seems...

mopower871 is that a manual valve body or regular?

sure wish I had a few more chime in!, I think im gonna try the tci outlaw, I should do like you stated and run a dang quicksilver and be done, but hell, if its free im gonna give it a try, if that don't work i'm going to buy a quicksilver and never look back

guys, ive been fighting this damn hurst promatic 2 shifter from day 1, never reliable, never know what gear im in for sure, neutral can never be found ect..... tried adjusting this thing 3 times with a few seasoned vets and they chalk it up to slop in the ratcheting mechanism,,,, that being said...

ok guys,,, that wasn't as bad as I thought, thanks so much for the advice of just jacking the motor up, what we ended up doing was putting the car up on the lift and putting a 4x4 up against a 2x12 on the oil pan and taking both bottom mount bolt out and just setting the car down on the 4x4 and...

yea I will check that out, thanks

yep and to make it even better once I got it on the hoist I came to find the bolt was never busted off!!! the melon heads "like everything else on the car" left it loose, after getting it in the air and fishing the bolt out found it to be that they didn't have the correct length bolt "has to be...
