    Confirming the ported vs. manifold vacuum debate

    So I think have read or watched 20+ articles on the ported vs. manifold distribution advance topic. In conclusion for a 67 R/T 440 4sp with a very mild hop-up to the engine (aluminum intake, 1-up cam, Edel Performer, stock heads 10:1, stock manifolds, etc.) 1 - earlier AFBs including the...

    Holley carb identification

    So now that all you smart folks have got me on the right track, I will be getting rid of my Holley. The numbers on the air horn were VERY faint and seemed slightly double stamped, but under a magnifier was 76750-2 and 3325. Probably means it is a 750 double pumper, but I can't find this model...

    Some carb and air cleaner mystery solved, kind of

    So for the ones following my threads about the no snorkle air cleaner.......went to replace the Holley with a Edel 1411 AFB Performer. Found this: - the really nice Mopar aftermarket intake PN 5153235 is 2" higher than stock - that necessitated a recessed air cleaner base so as not to hit the...

    More on the 67 R/T no snorkle air cleaner

    So what I have found in a few places, is that the oil breather nipple on the side of the air cleaner identifies this as a 68 piece that had the mandatory California "Cleaner Air System" or CAS. Or a 67 that had the CAS that was an option. --> is there any way to tell from the fender tag if...

    More carb confusion Edel Performer vs. AVS2

    So the original carb I still have for my 67 R/T is an AFB with a 4 7/8" air horn. Currently has a Holley double pumper that has to go, but want to get something new vs. rebuild the AFB which I probably would screw up. Can't get a straight answer from the tech guys at either Jegs or Summit. Is...

    Carb for my 67 440HP R/T

    So this is related to the air cleaner couple of threads. The Holley has to go. I can get an AVS 750 with electric choke, which was recommended by one reader. Jegs has them in stock for $459. There are multiple "competition AFB 625cfm" on eBay, they supposedly have a 5 7/8 air horn also. Also...

    67 R/T 440 Air cleaner saga continues

    Thanks folks for all your comments on my previous post about the no snorkle air cleaner. I am fairly new to Mopars, so don't know all the details, yet. For example I didn't realize the Holley on the car has a 5 1/8" air horn. Normal AFBs are 4 7/8". So the person who suggested this was an...

    67 R/T 440 air cleaner

    Sold the 66 Hemi tribute and got a 67 R/T. Much easier to drive and enjoy. Original/rebuilt 440 and 4spd. I am cool with the E-brock intake, but previous owner swapped the AFB for a Holley. Ugh. Air cleaner has no snorkels. I have seen other claimed original 67 R/Ts with both single and...

    Rear Springs for a Hemi Coronet

    My 66 Coronet Hemi tribute was converted from a 6-cylinder. Front end is all upsized Hemi parts as far as I can tell. Is there a HD "hemi" rear spring that was available on these cars? If so, how can I tell if my were converted or not?

    Hemi carb identification

    My 66 Coronet 440 Hemi tribute has a World block and Indy heads. Dual plane intake appears to be stock Mopar, but unclear of the year. Anyway, the front carb has "1405 8208" stamped on the drivers side mounting boss. 1405 is an Edelbrock part number, but the carb isn't labeled Edelbrock...

    66 Coronet Hemi tribute PCV valve

    My purchased 66 Coronet Hemi tribute isn't close to perfect, but little by little I am making things more correct as I enjoy the car. From looking at many pictures of "proper" Hemi Coronets, I am pretty sure this is not the proper PCV valve, or even the proper valve cover. Many pics look line...

    Hemi overheating....maybe

    66 Tribute Coronet with 472 World block Hemi. Ed heads, intake, and carbs. I hadn't noticed before, but the temp gauge starts just above the "C" when I first start, and gradually goes to about 85-90% towards the "H" and then sits there, no further change no matter how far I drive (up to about...

    Hemi carb tuning at idle

    The Hemi in my 66 Coronet tribute is 472cu, World block, 10.5:1 compression, slightly hotter cam although I don't know the specs. Carbs are Ebrock 650s. Did 490 hp at 5600 at the rear wheels. After it's warmed and settled down it idles at about 1000-1100 rpm which seem high. Backing off the...

    TTI headers for 66 Coronet Tribute with Hemi

    My 66 Hemi Coronet Tribute has a World block. Also has power steering which I know was not available with the Hemi in 66. Anyone know if TTI headers will fit with the power steering? Stock manifolds are REALLY close to the steering gear box currently, will the headers take up more room?

    The Hemi oil dipstick saga continues

    So my 66 Coronet Hemi tribute has a 492 Hemi with a World block and Moroso deep sump oil pan (sticks down ever so much lower than the K-member skid plate). Took out the dipstick to check the oil, was low, looked like just a bit was showing on the stick. Put in a quart. Can't get the dipstick...

    Oil viscosity and type for a Gen2 Hemi

    I have a "new" Gen2 hemi in my 66 Hemi Coronet W023 clone. World block, Edelbrock heads and intake and carb. 10.3:1 and dynoed at 488 at 5450. Engine probably has <1000 miles on it when I bought the car, <1500 now. First oil change on my watch. Oil recommendations? Old standard 10W-40, or...

    Hemi oil dipstick

    So I was in the garage with my new Hemi tribute 66 Coronet, going to change the oil. I pulled the dipstick to check, things looked OK. Tried to re-insert, IT WILL NOT GO IN. Spent 10-12 minutes attempting to manipulate it, without trying to force it to hard. I think there is a slot in the...

    1966 Coronet Hemi question

    Learning slowly the fun things related to owning a hemi. What I think is a good conversion tribute from a 6cyl (proper K-member, electronics, etc.). I noticed this in the garage this past weekend. The distance from the passenger shock tower to the valve cover is clearly less than the driver...

    How to find Jim Gosselin of Gozzy Mopar?

    For the life of me I can't find a contact point using Google. Maybe I am just bad at Google, or a Luddite, don't know, maybe both. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Hemi HP/torque estimate?

    Yes I know there are a lot of variables, but my recently aquired 66 Hemi Coronet has a well done conversion from a slant-six to a hemi built by Jim Gosselin: BMP iron block, 472 ci, Indy heads, forged crank, rods, Diamond pistons, 10.9:1, runs on 92 pump gas, aluminum 2x4 intake with 2 edelbrock...
