Probably not but I hate scrapping stuff because there's no getting it back

I wouldn't pay much for it. I wouldn't waste time on a resto either. If you have very limited funds this would be a good car to clean up, make reliable, and make a daily driver out of. It's just a bare bones satellite. It's not going to command a road runner value ever. But a great bones car...

No I wouldn't.

Well you kinda make my point. If the carb is out of adjustment then a couple minutes with a screwdriver should fix it as long as the throttle cable and kick down isn't hanging up. But the dieseling indicates timing issues. Which can do the same surging when you let off the throttle. 90% of...

I don't know anything about that specific carb but it sounds way out of tune or your distributor has come loose. Slapping a new carb on it isn't necessarily going to fix anything.

I got my AFR meter installed today and it was super helpful in getting me more lined out. Left side was just about right. Made a few changes but wound up back to exactly where I was with the exception of 1 step stronger step up spring. Took a big swing at the right side with primary and...

Im glad you asked it because I'm shopping cams for a similar build now and appreciate the advice of most. Just ignore the snide remark. Some people can't help but feel the need to have a superiority complex over strangers on the internet every time they post.

Count me in the disagree category. My drums will slide fat 100tw tires.

Well there is some division in the center plenum. It's not sealed off but I've read it's not unusual to split the jetting due to runner lengths. So on the side that appears rich I leaned up the settings.

This is probably what I'll do.

https://st.hotrod.com/uploads/sites/21/2019/06/05-edelbrock-avs-four-barrel-carb-tune.jpg This chart specifically. Im running a 9 on the left bank and a 26 on the right. Im tuning specifically cruise mode right now. Engine is a HP 383 with a dp4b intake, headers, and 750 edelbrock carb.

I bought a cheapo off ebay. 3 stages leaner I'm referring to the edelbrock chart. On the chart I'm 3 stages richer on the left according to the chart. It's close to what I want. But the right side is still fat as heck after leaning it out 3 stages.

How critical is having dual o2 sensors on a dual plane dual exhaust car? If you use 1 sensor where do you guys like to put it? Reading plugs my left and right banks are wildly different it appears with the right bank currently 3 stages leaner than the left and appears to need to go more. So I...

1000% I'm trying to get the most i can out of a true to form muscle car. The whole idea is you don't need to spend $20k on a bunch of sales pitches from XYZ company selling the latest "geometry correcting" doo-dad and performance enhancement. I keep saying, these cars don't handle bad as...

Someday i might try a set of Hoosier TDR tires. But yes there are almost no options for a good muscle car sized tire for handling. Yes I've read that r2's have stiffer sidewalls. And yes you definitely feel them shift in a hard turn. Comparing to my old Cooper cobra tires it feels like there is...

Collapsed lifter? Your oil pressure is a fair bit lower than I would be comfortable with in my car too.

275/50-15's both front and rear and running nitto 555r2 tires. They stick like crazy but you have to get used to the delayed turn in response. My steering box is factory and it has some typical slop. It's all muscle car. Nothing real trick about it. Even has 4 wheel drum brakes which are working...

I do need to get a temp gun and do this. Next autocross isn't until July 20th. :(

So autocross season has come again. I really haven't done and new modifications. But after the first event of the season I decided to pull the lower control arm on the driver's side because that side seemed to have different alignment than the right side. Found the lca pivot pin sleeve in the k...

I'm a little rusty with the arc welder but I think it'll hold.
