    Help converting factory A/C to R134

    I searched the forum (heck, the whole internet) for a guide on how to convert the factory R12 A/C to R134a, but only got the general bit. I had a wonderfuly working R12 setup (I think I got the last R12 canister in Europe), but after I changed the radiator, the person who did it turned the A/C...

    Factory 4bbl Holley on the 440?

    Oh, I definitely am :) KG ported a set of 906s, CudaDude2 is hogging out a factory intake for me, and told me that Dwayne accepted to help me with a manifold cam. I am replacing the suspension & hunting a speed related vibration in the trans output/driveshaft, then I am ready to dissasemble...

    Factory 4bbl Holley on the 440?

    Thanks everybody for the input. Yeah, I admit it's at least a bit odd to try to be by the book in a place where maybe your car is the only one done like this. However the decision comes from experience when I first tried to decide on the build. I started with f.a.s.t. in mind, then keeping in...

    Factory 4bbl Holley on the 440?

    Actually mine is fitted with factory A/C. There is a special version of the Carter, made for A/C, mine is 4637S. Code for non A/C is different. So unfortunately A/C is still not Holley. Perhaps the C bodies, which had standard performance 440s in '68, would split the use of a Carter / Holley...

    Factory 4bbl Holley on the 440?

    I am trying to comply to f.a.s.t. rules. So that rules out any carb that was not an option on my make/model/engine/year. Sole exception is that I can use an Edelbrock instead of the Carter, probably because it's almost a replica. So if the 1968 Charger 440 only got the Carter AVS, I am only...

    Factory 4bbl Holley on the 440?

    Today I just found out that the 1968 383 had a factory Holley carb option. Can anybody confirm whether the 440 also had a 4bbl Holley carb option? With the ported manifold/heads, the carb becomes a major bottleneck, and I understand that the Holley can be seriously modified on the inside to go...

    CNC ported 906 head flow test & review on YT

    Now for everybody that was curious what Eric's opinion on back cutting the intake valves would yield, here are the results! Cyl.1 is the original flow data, Cyl.2 is the same test done with the back cut. What do you guys think? Everywhere till .600 lift, the back cut wins, with one notable...

    CNC ported 906 head flow test & review on YT

    Update! Eric has done a back cut on the intake valves, and will do another flow test, to see the differences. I was also pleased doing bussiness with Dave. Fun fact, his last name sounded quite familiar to me, so I found out that his grandfather actually came from Northern Transylvania :) small...

    CNC ported 906 head flow test & review on YT

    About $2500. That is with all additional work including guides, bigger valves, etc.

    CNC ported 906 head flow test & review on YT

    33 IMP, yes, shipping to Transylvania for a pair os ESPO HD springs for my Charger was $650 (shipping + customs), so I know I'll get murdered on the heads & the ported iron intake Cudadude2 is doing for me. But on the other hand, all the other vampires are gonna be envious!

    CNC ported 906 head flow test & review on YT

    Many of you may remember a review, and a flow test done by Eric Weingartner on his youtube channel of a pair of CNC ported 440source heads. Seeing that, I instantly thought it would be cool to see how the ported Iron would fare. It would also be great to see how it compares to previously tested...

    Where to get torsion bars under 1.03"?

    Thank you for all the replies! At first I thought there is no way a torsion bar can wear out, I mean you just twist the adaptor, and you compensate for the "sagging". But then again I saw many posts on the contrary, and one symptom was bottoming out. I am lowered, but still, I do not corner...

    Where to get torsion bars under 1.03"?

    AS I understand, the R/T came with .94 torsion bars from the factory. Mine are worn out (ruined 2 shocks & 2 bump stops by bottoming out at an incline), and would like replacing them. I would like the new torsion bars to be good at launching the car, so that means a smaller diameter - I have...

    Drag racing setup that can be both comfortable, and stable at speed

    I have power steering, and intend to keep it. For the brakes I ak considering going to manual, but that's another story... I also have a new set of bilsteins, and PST stamped steel UCAs. I don't want to go tubular, the car is #s matching, and was restored with concours readiness in mind. The...

    Drag racing setup that can be both comfortable, and stable at speed

    I made a mistake when rebuilding the suspension, in reusing the old torsion bars & leafs. Thought the car looked cooler standing lower, but little did I know... I am thinking of starting from scratch, and rebuilding the suspension. My 3 goals are a) good 60ft in tbe 1/4, b) comfortable ride...

    Thank you so much, for the past hour I am chewing through what you sent me. I will also contact the Auto Service of Old Saybrook - gotta say it has a very nice ring to it!
