New shiny heads are going on. The air cleaner was a 67 440 unit that someone had hacked the snorkels off of. I cleaned it up and it fits around the A/C perfectly.

It was ordered as a direct replacement for a 66, so I assume so.

I'm guessing the guy with the camera was also holding the ladder.

Are you back to 100% yet Mark?

I'm not sure I'd fit in the Ferrari, but I am sure I am too old to climb through the window of the General.

That's a great story, Dave. It brings back memories for me too. When my Dad owned the Sunoco station his long time mechanic was named Lyle (not that common a name). He drove a 1957 Dodge and was the one who probably influenced me the most to get into Mopars. He put a new junkyard engine in...

Cool!

I took a couple of closer pictures for you.

Here is a picture of how mine is routed. I replaced the original hoses myself, so I believe this is the factory routing.

I have a vague recollection from back in the 80's that motor home peanut plug heads were considered more desirable for performance. Not exactly sure why.

That reminds me of one day at the track back in the 80's. It was a long weekend with races both days, and I was fighting for points. I had experimented with a sheet metal divider in a 1 inch spacer. The car started running rough and when I removed the carb, the divider was missing in action...

Back in the 80's my buddy blew the 340 engine in his 73 Roadrunner. We initially swapped in a 360 from a Fury donor, but it was a dog so we ended up swapping in another 360 from a Duster. (or vice versa) He lived about an hour and a half away, so I am pretty sure both swaps were one day...

Wonder if I should throw the Performer 383 back on? I should see what the exhaust ports on the 361 look like.

Good question Don. I did port match the intake, and a couple of ports had some core shift. Might also have something to do with the phenolic spacer I run, which was specifically set up for the street demon carb?

Happy birthday:bday:
