    The end all be all PCV and Grommet Thread ;)

    I can see you've thought this through. From a slightly less technical aspect, if that PCV valve is too long and hits the baffle (???), then why not just trim that nipple a little bit so it doesn't hit the baffle? If it were me, I'd "roll the dice" for $7.15. That's a small gamble

    Carb sputtering on six barrell engine

    My first bet is accelator pump...make sure it squirts like mentioned above by just looking and moving the throttle

    Holley sixpack issue

    Yes, make SURE your secondaries are closing quicly. You might double check to see if your carb linkage is TOTALLY clear of the side of the intake manifold. It will install backwards, then hold you at wide open throttle by dragging on the intake... I lost an engine that way. IF your carbs are...

    Aluminum fuel lines, thoughts?

    I've run aluminum fuel line for 20+ years without any issue at all. Stainless steel would work too, but is harder to work with, more expensive and doesn't offer any benefits over aluminum as far as I can tell

    Choosing fuel sending unit.

    You are best off to re-build your original sending unit. The aftermarket ones are junk

    Edelbrock Brock dual bolt pattern on a thermoquad manifold

    I've not done this, but I would be VERY tempted to use a carb adapter since you can buy them off the shelf at O'Reilly for cheap.

    Another throttle cable question

    These guys are on the right track. As long as the ends are correct, all you need is any cable that no more than about 4"-6" too long (they can bind if they're a foot too long)....otherwise, any one that fits is correct. You do get some "wiggle room" where the cable clamps onto the bracket. If...

    1970 Dodge Charger 440 4bll carburetor questions

    Somebody here knows, but I think the Carters are in the 625cfm to 650cfm range. Some factory '70 440's came with 600cfm Holley's (I think the non-high-performance ones...like New Yorkers, etc). Be advised that many Holley's have clearance issues with factory intake manifolds (& that Carters...

    custom air cleaners for intake systems and air grabber hoods

    @RSZ28 - so, what's the answer?

    custom air cleaners for intake systems and air grabber hoods

    I've not done that swap, but you are correct that it's pretty much factory intakes or a C4HB (or something??? - can't remember part number) and that's it. If your efi setup isn't more than 1/2" taller than a Holley, it bolts up to intake and fits inside the air cleaner (modified?) it will work...

    Vacuum advance, springs, etc.

    You're asking a few different questions...no problem. If you just want to drive the car, then leave the 600cfm Holley on it since it's not "that" small. On the 600cfm Holley, that tube has "venturi vacuum", which is what Chrysler used originally (can of worms opened? check). If you're trying...

    What kind of air filter is that? (472 Hemi 2x4)

    I have no idea what that filter is, but I suggest you look for a K&N brand filter that fits your aircleaner

    440 that doesn't want to idle ... Tale as old as time

    Does it reek of fuel at idle?

    Inconsistent fuel pressure

    Needles on mechanical fuel pressure gauges get stuck sometimes. One of mine needs a thump with my finger every once in a while

    Outboard carbs for 6 Barrel

    I'm no expert, but I've run several six-pack setups over the years, big block and small block. 4365-1 = 70/rear (& maybe for an air grabber car? I never knew there was a difference) 4790=corvette number maybe? 4672=71/rear...

    Six barrell choke set up

    I'm going from memory here.... for the choke setting, I believe you adjust it (more open/more closed) by simply bending the long rod that goes from the choke thermostat to the choke flap on the center carb.

    440 not pumping fuel after new fuel pump installed

    All these guys are making great points. It's a matter of elimination. 1. Plenty of gas in tank? 2. No gas at carb (no "squirt" from accelerator pump when you move the throttle I assume) 3. You replaced the fuel pump and your fuel pump rod might be a little worn. I would think you would still...

    Vapor lock 440 6-pack issue

    As mentioned, when it does this, see if the squirter still works on the center carb. You can try some insulated carb gaskets. I've used the ones with the aluminum plate, gasket, aluminum plate, gasket, etc type "stack". Also, if vapor lock, the center carb will be pretty hot to the touch

    Keeping stock look w electric fuel pump
