Yeah, what a bummer that the car was never shown anywhere else in the movie.
That one looks F8.
In the 80s, I saw an F8 1970 Charger on the street outside an apartment complex. It had a For Sale sign in it. $1500. A couple years later, a friend bought an F8 1970 Charger. In 2000, I bought my...
Edel AVS 2. But which one, 650 or 800? The 650 would be my choice, buuuuuuuuuuuut:
you have a 4 speed, 3.91 axle & a dual plane intake all of which lend themselves to a slightly larger carb. Your call.
What engine size, cam specs, timing at idle?
I would NOT change float height. For reasons known only to Edel, they went lower than the original AFB. Only reason I can think of is that less likely of misfire from cornering/sudden stop where fuel could slosh into the t/bores. Going to a smaller...
So I ended up designing some caps and got them from send cut send, .074" mild steel, I made them oversized so I could trim them to fit. After welding up the cracks I fit these up, welded the perimeter and plug welded the 4 holes. Happy with how it turned out, I'm sure it's overkill but now I...
Folks should think about stroker engine combinations that outperform engines from the same company that have the same cu in. A Chrys 408 stroker v a Chrys 400; a 383 Chev; 347 Ford.
It's the rod/stroke ratio as I alluded to in my post & Hawk rod in post #30. It is also the reason for this warning.
You might just find a counterfeit.
As somebody that has actually ran several carbs on a 383, a 3310 750 will work like magic. There I said it. So will a factory 750 avs. I’m sure the avs2 in 800 will be fine.
Only mopar guys hand wring about carb size. Running tiny straw like heads and are...
Sounds like you did a good rundown and caught it along the way. I’ve had junk get in and hold the floats open, never to the degree of running over the carb though.
On shafts, when they get real bad it causes and hanging idle as they get the blades caught in the bores.
Yes it is a shame that they are going by the wayside. Dinosaurs like myself will probably have to burn different car magazines in the fire pit over a drink.
Some go back to the 50’s. Still hanging on though.
