Carter M3672. After installing it I read horror stories about certain Carter pumps made in China. The max pressure was more like 7psi. The 4327S AFB doesn't like more than 5 psi. I had installed new floats, new needles, new seats, new jets, new check, new accel pump, all adjusted per the 67 shop...

My carburetor couldn't tolerate the high output pressure of the chinesium Carter fuel pump ordered per the Rock Auto catalog. My 67 440 with the 4327S Carter carb wants no more than 5psi (per the service manual). I had a bad flooding issue with gas all over the intake. I rigged a regulator and...

Nice find, for sure. Not that many R/T's made compared the Chevelle, GTO, and Mustang in 1967. I've owned mine 41 years. Another question is how many real R/T's remain? Gotta wonder... The 4th time out of the garage since 1995. Runs, drives, stops after 3 summers of tinkering to wake it up from...

Who else has an original spare tire in the trunk? My 67 RT still has the original Firestone red line tire with the little nubs still present. It doesn't look like it was ever used. The original owner who I bought the car from owned a service station so he likely took very good care of the tires.

Wow! Nice Turbo Z, CS. I still have mine, also white, that I bought new in '86. It's not looking as good as yours tho. The garage is reserved for the 67 R/T that I bought from original owner in '84. The Daytona needs a fuel pump at this time, but it has always run well. Last time started was 2...

No doubt there...

Winter blend is always higher in vapor pressure, but 60's gas was a higher vapor pressure for all seasons. Thank the EPA for crappy gas.

Check your data.

The vapor pressure of today's gasoline is lower than it was in the 60's when a lot of these cars were made, due to emissions regulations. Newer fuel injected cars don't care and always start cold, but carbureted cars need heat in the manifold to properly vaporize today's gas, and may run rough...

I was referring to:

Agreed, the purpose then has nothing to do with what some will pay now, due to rarity. Thanks to all for some good comments in this thread. We all have the appreciation for these cars and parts in common. In reality, since we all do live in the present, be it a "chassis" without "the" engine or...

Point taken. I am all for originality if it's possible, but these cars were never intended as even a potential collector's item, rather, they were purchased (or intended) to race and were considered expendable to some extent. As in, "let's see what they come out with next year". Unfortunately...

Right. The point is there are no VIN numbers on the engine or transmission on pre 1968 vehicles. So even if all body numbers and fender tag numbers match the window sticker and any other factory data, no one besides the original owner and those he speaks to knows if a drivetrain is original to...

Cool car for sure. Is that a max wedge engine? If so, what year engine?

Understood. Then pre-1968 cars where only date codes and casting numbers tell the story, it's obviously nearly impossible to prove "numbers matching" or original to car without statements from previous owners.

Good discussion so far. Let's ratchet back a little from an A990 type case and apply the premise to a max wedge car, a street hemi car, or a high performance car situation. My personal preference is as original as can be some 60 years after production. But realizing any original "high...

I agree that's today's term. Some historical documents from the period call it a hemicharger or a max hemi.

Is it a good premise to say that since there were so few of these engines produced and even fewer VIN correct chassis, either special case would be somewhat close in value as time rolls on? So, considering the special case VIN chassis and the special case engine, I would imagine at some time...

I think the 65 cross ram hemi was called a 'hemicharger' engine, of which there were 2 versions. One for circuit racing and one for strip. Other Chrysler documentation refered to it as a 'maximum performance hemispherical head' engine, or a max hemi. It was a one year build (?) between the max...

It's the fat finger spelling of c-a-r.
