Does that carb have a power valve like a Holley? Usually, one good backfire, and the power valve was done.

There is no choke in your carb, and you live in NY state, so it is not going to like cold starts. Once started, let the engine warm up a little bit before giving the gas pedal a stab.

I found my best price on a Spectra tank from RockAuto, for my 1967 R/T. These tanks are made in Stratford, Ontario, about an hour's drive from my home. Unfortunately, they do not sell to the public, only to jobbers. My local cost would have been $550.00 Can, taxes in. By buying from RockAuto, I...

Agree. 343 h.p. 383. They ran the same Carter AFB's I had; -58 and -59. I have had a couple of those cast iron Mopar inline intakes over the years.

Putting a 440 AVS on a 383 was a little trick we did back in the day. Noticeable improvement. That air valve over the secondaries made it pretty hard to overcarb.

I had a 1962 Chrysler 300H inline 2 X 4 setup on a 426 Street Wedge in a 1964 Polara 500 I used to own. These were original carbs, meant for a dual carb setup: no choke on front (secondary) carb, and choke on rear (primary) carb. These carbs also each had a velocity valve under the secondary...

SpellCheck hit me again. I corrected to Castrol.

I have found some cleaners must be acidic, and will attack aluminum. Castrol SuperClean is one of these. It is mild enough to strip paint off my models without damaging the plastic, but pretty well dissolved an aluminium part that I was soaking in it to clean.

The old factory 340 intake was always a good piece. Downsides are weight and availability. Edelbrock 600/650 cfm. would be good carb choice.

That's what I used on mine, and they work. Motor idles well, and responds well to mixture screw adjustments. I went around my carb base with my open propane torch and found no vacuum leaks.

Those filters you removed may have restricted pressure a bit. Without them, pressure at the floats increased, and overpowered them, causing flooding.

I can, but it costs more. I have always been happy with RockAuto's prices and delivery. Their website automatically converts all purchases and shipping charges to Canadian $$$, so I know what I am paying. My best example of how bad we get treated by even our own vendors is the following. A...

I get a kick out of what you guys south of the Canadian border think is expensive. I just bought a Mellings oil pump for my 440 last week from RockAuto. $230.00 at my door; taxes, shipping, and $ exchange rate included. We only wish we could build a car as inexpensively as you guys. LOL

Understand that the 2 X 4 setup would mostly be for eye candy. The single Edelbrock 750 cfm. on my '67 440 R/T felt a lot crisper on the street. My '64 looked liked like any other Polara convertible (like Miss Jane's car from The Beverly Hillbillies), but, pop the hood and it drew people like...

Carbs also use 1/2" spacers under them so linkage does not hit intake runners. Classic industries catalogue has some 2 X 4 parts in it. Especially the linkage bracket that bolts to the intake. I ran an Edelbrock electric choke on rear (primary) carb. There is no choke provision on front carb. I...

I blocked the crossover on the stock iron intake on my 1967 R/T with no adverse effects on its drivability. I am using a 750 Eddie with electric choke. One positive result is that the cooler intake does not evaporate the fuel out of the carb as fast as it used to. After a drive, the hot intake...

Those are what I used on my setup on my 426 Street Wedge in my '64 Polara. They were OEM on 1962 Chrysler 300H. I had to modify the linkage on the rear carb to work on B-body rather than the original C-body. The Chrysler uses solid linkage that pushes the throttle blades open from below the...

On another thread, I mentioned that I had a copy of Engineering papers detailing changes and specs of the 440 HP engine that would be available in the new R/T, GTX, and some C-bodies. In that thread, I mentioned that 4-speed cars were to get the unsilenced air cleaner, while cars with an...

If your engine backfired a couple of times, your power valve is likely toast.

I stand corrected. That is what I used; Dull Aluminum. I never had a problem with gas eating it, once cured.
