I agree with this for lash on solids. I do EOIC with a bump starter but ensure that the intake valve is completely closed before using the feeler gauge. When the engine was new I adjusted fairly frequently and could tell when it needed it by valvetrain sound, but now I just check once a year and...

Rest in peace Bob, you will be missed. I just saw this today and it really saddened me. Thanks for sharing his PM from September. I work in a technical field as well and those two lines he signed off with are 100% true.

If you need help with Mopar repair you can see Jimmy Vignona in dutchess county NY. He helped me with my distributors when I was working up in north jersey. He should still be running his shop in Wappingers Falls. There is also John Rogers from long valley service in long valley NJ. He closed...

If you have stock 31 squirters (accelerator pump discharge nozzles) you can go up a few sizes. I used 35's, easy to swap on the center carburetor although you will need to remove it to do it without potentially dropping a screw down the intake. I just stuck a rag in the carb in case. This is to...

That looks great, AN is the way to go for the six pack.

I also open the hood to cool down after a drive. Seems to help with starting the next time and cuts the odor from percolation in the bowls. I get grief every day from the wife about carburetor smell, I have tried everything and have largely given up. I might look at reconnecting the EVAP system...

If you are in Connecticut and need engine or head work, go to carlquist competition. They are outside of Waterbury. I would never pay for this kind of work other than with a reputable shop with actual equipment.

Here is the front, 275/60r15 on new boyd's magnum 500's from Summit.

Maybe, but i doubt it makes much difference on a street car. If you mount the regulator to the firewall you can plumb with AN in different configurations and test I use a holley regulator and the holley cartridge fuel filter on a six pack before the carbs and it works great with the stock...

Thank you Wild R/T I got it installed this weekend, the headers caused some issues so I cant use the stock pivot but I got it in there. I didn't realize there are two pivot points on the 727 housing. OEM linkage works so much better than a cable on the 6 pack thanks again.

I think the cleanest look is using AN fittings and braided fuel line. Once you figure out how to cut them, it is so easy to work with. If you are using a pressure regulator then OE appearance is out the window anyways so just use the AN. That 270 degree adapter is an AN type fitting you can get...

I finally got a stock throttle linkage for hooking up a six pack to a 727 throttle valve which will replace my bouchillon cable. I can figure out the top bellcrank mounting but where does the bottom bell crank bolt to? The factory service manual is not very detailed on this.

Yeah that will do. I stand corrected, might pick that one up for the next build.

Yeah just a thought. I have enough good ones sitting in the garage but I sold the Mopar m1 years ago unfortunately. I do appreciate 440 source, your BBM fuel pump pushrod I installed is still going 5 years later without being ground to a nub and your support for stroker kits, trick flow and...

Any carb will do that if the jetting and idle mixture is not set correctly. If you don't want to change the cam, just learn to adjust the carburetor you have. Hesitation off idle..probably lean jetting or insufficient accelerator pump shot. Good luck with your carb tuning journey. I don't race...
