    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    Thanks.... What you've said totally makes sense. I have liaised with Gary, and he is of the same thinking; - being that it is not an exotic build, and that Poly chamber design can / should easily be able to accommodate 10:1 CR, and more, as he has proven. Verifying the basics first would...

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    Thanks again... I also agree it can be a good learning exercise, especially given most everything is new/fresh, and a "known quantity" I appreciate your suggestion to pull heads and replace gaskets etc, but that won't be happening unless absolute worst case scenario we can't get to the bottom of...

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    Please read original post regarding the distributor... Also, my previous comments regarding accuracy of TDC; Cam was supposedly dialled in from very reputable engine builder; wideband seems correct - however dyno test/tuning should hopefully confirm early November

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    Yeah I've already done all of above hey... Except post on general forum! Engine builder bump steers me to tuning specialist in Daylseford, but I'm going to try a local dyno tuner in Mornington in about 5 weeks... That way he can verify the timing mark I've had fabricated and set up (I've...

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    Thanks for your input! I have already tried disconnecting the vac advance and running with 10,8,6 deg.if initial and it still detonates unfortunately... And at 3/4 or full throttle I'm thinking I would have nowhere near 19" of vac for the vac advance to be activated I (should) have approx 12/14...

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    Please read the vac adv specs I provided... No vac adv until 19" (light throttle). I'm not having any issues until I push her significantly...

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    You have higher comp than me, and can run 12 deg initial... That is a very different scenario to mine... I should be able to run 8/10 deg initial I would have thought...

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    Great question... I just thought of this, via searching the FBBO site. I am currently using the recommended Autolite 85 spec plugs... My ground strap suggests that this plug may be too hot for my application ( I have no timing / colour change until right at/on the base ring) So, I was...

    Poly Stroker Build Timing Issue

    I have a 62 Dodge Dart Sedan (in Australia) which I've had a stroker 318 Poly (now 392) built with mild cam ([email protected], .450 lift, running a 2bbbl Holley 500cfm (AFR's: 12.8 - 13 @ Idle and Cruise, into the 10's under load). Everything is new, and engine is balanced, 10:1 compression, running...

    Holley Carb 2300 2BBL Fuel Bowl slowly draining internally!?

    Hey! I'm still at a loss as to why my fuel is "evaporating"/ disappearing so rapidly It's rather frustrating that everyone is saying that's what fuel does these days, yet I never had that issue with the first carb I fitted; nor with the other cars I had Holleys on in the last 2 years Your...

    62 Inner Fender Part ID help!?

    Fair enough... The other 3 I have a steel plates, so is this one the only rubber one? Also, any idea on the correct, exact terminology, so I can search for a potential replacement part?

    62 Inner Fender Part ID help!?

    Hi everyone! I please need some help identifying the correct name of the plates that screw to the inner fender walls, from inside the wheel wells of my 62 Dart!?... As per my pics, I am missing the one on the Passenger side and the brake line routes through there currently (I assume this is...

    Holley Carb 2300 2BBL Fuel Bowl slowly draining internally!?

    Yes..I feel your pain. That stamp ridge (from what I believe) should not adversely affect the sealing quality of the gasket. For the record, on (2nd, replacement) carb, my bowl empties out almost entirely over the course of a week. However (can't remember if I've already mentioned this), I...

    '62 Dart - OEM Steering Wheel?

    OK - Im very curious about this... I had a 62' 330 that had the "rectangular type" centre part of the wheel; and now I have a 62' 440mdl that has the same round centre piece as per this pic! I'm wondering if customers were given a choice at the time of ordering their car (lol - probably not!)...

    New Vibration at 60mph on 62' Dart

    Found the Culprit... Couldn't see this upon inspection yesterday, but perhaps it opened up a bit more today, and reared it's ugly head... This is a used radial with about 75% tread (just using temporarily, on the front, whilst I await my original style 28inch white walls from USA) - seems in...
