    Still having issues with my 383. Stock HP block, forged crank, diamond pistons on factory rods, comp cam hydraulic roller, ported 906 heads, cast intake, on my 3rd carb. Couldn't get the last dual feed double pumper from pro-systems to run right, so went to a QFT SS-680 dual feed, electric...

    Carb issues - lean backfire

    Having a TON of carb issues lately. Originally had the Carter AVS and decided I wanted to get some more power out of the car. Went to a pro-systems duel feed double pumper 4150 750 CFM. Changed out the fuel pump for better fuel PSI, and tried to run this carb. The carb was nothing but...

    Fiberglass 440 air Grabber base?

    Switched from my Carter AVS to a Quick Fuel SS 680. Needed a 1" spacer to clear all linkage from stock intake. (Spacer may need to be milled plenty of clearance). Obviously now the hood won't fit with air Grabber. Saw articles about a 440 base being shorter, however I cannot find them...

    New carb air grabber fitment

    Issues with my carter AVS lately. Read a lot on here and looking to possibly go Holley 750 with the vacuum secondaries. I have the cast iron stock intake and air grabber good. Will the baseplate for this carb and fit with the air grabber set up? Seems like most guys like this carb a little...

    Fastener question

    In my parts bags labeled "grill/hood" I found two large flat head screwdriver style bolts. These bolts have threads that appear to be for adjusting something... I'm convinced they aren't a part of this car, my father thinks otherwise.... Anyone know?

    Misc Decals

    Besides the usual road runner decals, I have the trunk jack decal, the door jamb decal and air filter decal. I was wondering if the cars got the emissions decals and the tire pressure decals? Any others I may be missing?

    Air Grabber Seal

    Ordered a new air grabber to air filter seal from Herbs Mopar. They sent me a PG classics part which is stamped "made in China". The part not only looks awful (sloppy paint all over metal braces, metal pulling out of rubber), but it does not line up with any holes. I ordered a seal from Dales...
