Thanks everyone. If I know my brother, he will want to swap the 323 sure grip for a 354/355 unit and to with the TTI headers (expensive but work). And he will want the 484 cam. As to the math, I'll have to take your word for it as I am a product of the Philadelphia school (sic) system. But all...

I really do appreciate your advice. All of you. I noticed Edlebrock's AVS goes from 650 to 800 with no 750, if I read the catalogue right, but they do have a 750 in AFB. Not sure which is better for this application. My brother will cruise around in the car and maybe take it to shows. Same for...

Good question. I am not sure how it ran as the previous owner, a good friend, was running two 4 bbls on it and that proved too much. Might be a good idea for me to put the new intake and single carb on and see how it runs. I need to change the water pump and housing unit anyway so maybe less work.

Thanks folks. Would a 650 Edlebrock be too large a carb? I have 2 66 Sport Furys and this one is going to a younger brother and I am keeping the second for myself. Number two is getting a 413 from a 65 New Yorker and I'll save the hotter cam for that.

The car is a 66 Plymouth Sport Fury with a 1979 440, very low miles. The owner put a .477 lift comp cam in the engine. I am adding a new 4bbl and aluminum intake. I was wondering, since I have some of it apart, would a .484 lift cam make any noticeable difference, felt or real, in performance to...

Bluefury361: You made my day! We have the original ones but they are cracked beyond repair so this will be welcome news. Once we get these two done, I'll find a way to post pics. Again, thank you very much for taking the time to answer. What a relief.

I found a 65 center console for my brother's 66 (yes, I know they are different at the front) Sport Fury but it is $500. I have been told a B body console will work but never read of anyone actually installing one. Do they fit, and, if so, what mods are required? I have a "shortened" one in my...

Nice car. I sold mine to a younger brother but picked up a second one. My poly ran hot after rebuild. It had a custom Isky cam, Weind intake, 4 barrel and dual exhaust and it was a 318 too.

Polara_500: You don't still have that Dart do you? I'm pretty good at climbing trees. Thanks for the heads up. I am thinking what you did is the way to go. I was mulling over grabbing some B body seats and putting them in but can't find them either. I found some non-factory ones that I can make...

We do what we have to do. The same will be true for any other car it looks like

I once put a bench seat from a 68(?) Satellite in a 66 Valiant. It fit but the doors hit the seats on both sides and the arm rests were kind of in the way. We do what we have to do

What I need to to do is find out the specs, for width of B versus C buckets. If they are not that different, I can drill holes and mount the B Body tracks or the pro-car seats and make them work. As Wildaugust has explained, good luck finding the frames and all for B body seats. That was my next...

Thanks everyone. I have a console car. It was originally a Fury III but converted to a sport fury and has buckets from a late model Pontiac. When I saw pics of 66 Belvedere seats, I realized they looked similar. If not as wide they might not look right. 1Fury1, yhour seats don't look original...

I have about given up on the idea of 66 Sport Fury seats for my 66 Sport Fury. I was wondering, other than design, are 66 B Body seats dimensionally different from the Fury? I'm not talking about the tracks but the size of the seat themselves. I am exploring all my options. I may have to go with...

MrMoparCHP: Are you interested in the cars of law enforcement or retired CHP? I lived in California for many years and have a background relted to the question. I often consider doing what you are doing.
