Too bad it's not round like this Durango Rear AC flapper door. You could glue it then press a sleeve over it.....

Does the needle smooth out with increased RPM? My cheap Jegs oil filled doesn't flop around @ idle. Then too, it doesn't like the under-hood heat when hot as Bird indicates.

IMO, it'll likely blacken things out the exhaust as well. Then too, if you must, consider electric heated choke or at least set up a manual choke...... oh................ ....and don't forget to adjust it.

I believe that outer ring helps keep out the elements. A chunk that size surely will cause imbalance. FWIW, many recent replacement drums for the 10" X 1-3/4" A body 8-3/4" don't have the outer ring at all.....

I've heard the negs as well and was second guessing a second. My first yielded 12 years for me. Working on the 3rd for its replacement. Both were made in Mexico. I guess I'll find out if it's just a lemon in a blue top, lol.

750 enough?

I have this center available. It has a touch of bow on the driver end if interested...........

Out of the box, maybe consider relocating the adapter plate bosses similar to this E to A adapter plate........ https://web.archive.org/web/20170918160757/http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/abconv.shtml

This^^^^^^^^^^ Take 'em out and shake 'em. You may have one that's filling with fuel and submerging. Verify the seats are clean and tight. Reset dry float levels. Reassemble and install.

That's mainly an engine package book. Great to have for reference when building one. I believe carb settings and tuning specifics aren't heavily covered in it. Look for the Mopar Performance "Engines" manual or Direct Connection for the old jetting tips.

It's actually a '70 auto set that I ran on my Barracuda 4spd for years. Never used the solenoid....ever.

yep You can move the return spring there Many add a second lighter return spring JIC the main fails.

Got the toll scams twice in the last two months. I just delete them and report as spam.
