    Power valve

    Going to try and work on it tomorrow. Thank you

    Power valve

    Okay. It's been 2 or 3 years ago since I tried putting that plate in. I do not remember why I didn't think that it would work. Will have to look at that again. Did look back into threads concerning the Promax installation. They do not mention using that steel plate behind the Promax...

    Power valve

    I do not have them installed with the Promax plates. Seems like I tried that and it didn't work for some reason. I did not like the Promax plates up against the gasket. So, how is it done, I am missing something. If there were instructions with the plates, I do not have them. The Promax...

    Low alternator charge at idle

    I have or had a similar problem with my Dart. Charge then no charge soon after leaving the house. Tried 2 new voltage regulators, well, it was the rebuilt alt. I know, but I am not good at electronics. So then the system was charging 14.8 after warm up. I got one of the adjustable voltage...

    Power valve

    I would say after it warms up. Takes a lot of choke to keep it running at a lower rpm. My intake base on the rear carb is slightly warped, this winter I plan on pulling the intake and have a friend make a cut across all three. Will see if I can find a warp in the carb bodies. I have sprayed...

    Power valve

    I actually have both on the end carbs. Also, I have the floats with relief in them so that they will not interfere with the Promax main jet plates that have replaced the stock metering plates. I have tried metering plates and the same condition exists. The stock end metering plates are...

    Power valve

    Yes, that is correct, it hit like a freight train. I checked the floats about a week ago, bottom of the sight hole, but the engine wasn't really heat soaked, will check that and fuel pressure again. I do the air bleeds check on the end carbs for fuel/air screws, Promax base plates. Yes, I...

    '69 Bee - Front bench seat pivot push-on retainer question

    Should be able to find a similar one to the orginal at a hardware store. They look something like this, but you get the idea.

    Power valve

    The spark plugs are black with soot. Shows up driving or wot, do not know about idle, do not check them at idle. Until this problem showed up, the tall yellow was fine, that is why I haven't gone to a brown or black.Currently has a purple. The accelerator pump is working, white cam, same as...

    1972 RR 440 won’t start after running fine. Battery and fuses seem good. Replaced alternator, voltage regulator and ballast resistor. Any ideas?

    The guy probably likes Scotchlocks Bob, we just need to step away. Not sure why I have still have interest here, I merely suggested that a hacked harness ought to be replaced, if it was mine. Then, 2 people jump in condemning my response and going off of the deep end with all of this. Yeah...

    Power valve

    #13. Yes, it is amazing to me how some have little to no problems, and like me, nothing but problems. I need to do more testing as suggested here. I have come to not trust the AFR's, plus they always are fouling, don't think that they like carbs! The car is a '69 Dart, 4-speed, 3:55's...

    I'm rich, really rich. I get tired of messing with it. It's going to be hot for a couple of more days. Will try something else towards the end of the week. Thank you

    Agreed. Not looking forward to the day when the time comes to start my Gen ll Hemi. I'm getting tired.

    Power valve

    Unfortunately, for me, I have stumbled into an area that turns my brain into jello. It's no longer a main jet and turning an idle screw in or out. I'm this way with electricity too, checking ohms etc. My 2 problems are rich and a bog when I go to wot. Have a fuel pressure regulator , is at...

    Power valve

    Okay, you talked me out of it. It was a what if question. I have been battling a rich, lean issue for several years and just can not get a handle on it. So I was thinking of trying something else instead of expecting different results redoing the same damn thing over and over. The engine...

    What if I just eliminate the power valve on a Sixpack, anyone done that on the street?

    Bucket Seat Latch Question

    My "69 buckets have a set screw. Or maybe mine are not '69. Old race car brought back to the street. So I am not 100% sure, but they only looked like this for a couple years. Maybe. Mopar did them a couple different ways.
