Thanks Boys - you boys were on the right track - black fouled plugs. Happy Holidays - nice when the forum works so well. I did not think fouled plugs would keep it from starting, I thought, if that was a problem, it would just run rough - you'all were right, really appreciate it. Trip 66'...

Car has been sitting for 3-4 months. Has Mopar electrictronic ignition. 10.3 to 1 compression, Demon 850 carb, Mopar 557/296 cam - 440CI - has always run rich - plugs are fouled, very black, slightly wet, I have: tested fuel to carb, poured fresh gas directly into carb, tried nasty instant...

what plugs are you running?

It does not start, but after some cranking will make a little sputter, then nothing. I checked coil its ok. What are the symptoms of a bad ballast resister? ALSO can you boys suggest a spark plug - it has Autolite AR23 Racing plugs in it, that are nasty fouled looking? 440CI, Mopar 557/296...

I tried pouring some fresh Snoco 93 into carb - makes a little sputter after 10 seconds of cranking, but quickly dies. I pulled a plug - they are Autolite ARC123 Racing - it is a very recent plug, it is black, wit black deposits on it - but gap was still present. This car is never raced, just...

Do I just need to remove the front bowl on a Demon Carb?

My 440CI with electronic ignition won't start, gas is about 3 months old, gas is getting to Demon carb - already disconnected fuel line to test, Demon side floats look fine - about 1/2 way, tried pouring some gas directly into carb, about 5 times, got one huge backfire, tries to catch, but...

I just listed a mint neon Dodge Plymouth 6 foot sign on Ebay - you can see it under "Dodge Plymouth Neon" if you would like to check it out. It is not old, maybe 20 years old. - but way cool. Great for restoration shop if you know of someone. Mopar boys can call me if interested - thanks Trip...

YES - small squirts of gas - NOT long squirts - and Hemi cars worked off the rear carb, until you punch it - the front carb does no work at starting - if the accelerator linkage needs adjusting to get a long sustained "pump" - how do I do that? no, it does not have a gauge, but has new Holly...

Understood = thanks very much, Dick Katter lives not too far, in Manassas, Virginia, maybe he will help, the dissers, don't know jack - they just like to see the massive Hemi air-cleaner.

Explanation of fuel pressure issue really appreciate the help here - I have a 66 Hemi Satellite, it ran fine with the single Demon the previous owner had on it, but I was getting dissed for not having the 2 4's on it - so I did, both correct Carters and stock intake were installed - would only...

when installing an electric fuel pump - do you bypass the meachanical? if it is mounted near the trunk - can it run into the stock mechanical, or does that defeat the whole idea of incresing fuel pressure to the carb? OR - does the pressure continue through the mechanical to a greater...

Disc stuck - still No, both ideas did not work - any other thoughts, short of pulling the transmission. ALSO, if the car is driven with the disc stuck to the flywheel what happens?

Thanks men - will try today.

I think my disc is stuck to flywheel - clutch will not let out, this is a Hemi 4 speed - 1966, I have removed cover plate, bolts to pressure plate are on extremely tight, and could break off, is there any trick, besides banging on a srewdriver to pry them apart? I am this has happened to...
