Well I got tired of messing with the Edelbrock 1411 on my 383 so I changed it to a Quick Fuel Slayer 600. I can say it is a night and day difference for sure. Starts right up very easy and idles smooth the throttle response is very crisp.

GM is not 5x4.5 GM is 5x4.75, Ford is 5x4.5 . GM wheels will not bolt on our cars.

The trim was factory but I have yet to find any trim around anywhere. That's a heavy tape the previous owner put on there to keep the water out of the trim holes. The wheels are 70's Cordoba wheels. The car has been my daily for 2 years.

My 65, it's a work in progress.

I tried everything on my 1411 jets,springs,metering rods as well and the off idle stumble drove me nuts. But I did cure it by going with a eddy nozzle kit. I put in the biggest nozzle the kit had which I think were the .043 and problem fixed.

I bought some for my 65 Polara from Summit. They match the red interior pretty good and are the same latch style. Best part they were $19 each.

I had to dial in the same carb on my 383. I ended up with changing the nozzle to the largest one in the kit .043 (the nozzle kit comes with 3 nozzles). I also used my vacuum gauge to find out the engine vacuum then divided that in half to get the correct spring. Then I jetted the primary side up...

Electric fan firmament problem fixed. I got a 3 core radiator for a 67 Dart big block and modified the Flex a lite fan and shroud combo. Car now stays cool with no problems.

Thanks I will look at that. Maybe I screwed something up while RE installing the carb top.

I have recently develop a problem while driving and I think it is in the distributor. I have been fighting the off line hesitation with a 383 and a 1411 Eldebrock. Finally got that figured out and now have a very crisp response with no stumble at all. But recently as I'm driving and if I get...

I have finally got tired of cruising around with no tunes. My car does have the original am radio it lights up but no sound and me not wanting to cut up a untouched dash came up with a cheap solution. Being that I'm a truck driver I had a old Cobra cb that no longer worked so with a little...

Beyond cool! Awesome score. Now just leave it alone and cruise it.

I got the booster at Summit Racing. They have them for $99 plus $35 core. Since I drive by there a lot in my travels that's where I picked it up at.

Had to change the brake booster in the 65 Polara today. It went pretty quick and easy. Then I decided to change out the Monroe coil over shocks that somebody had previously installed with some KYB shocks. Much better ride and dropped the back a little so not such a rake in the car now. So of...

Alot of guys in the trucking industry are doing this to there trucks (wheel bearings, diff bearings,etc...) and they are having good luck with it.Also put picking up a few 1/10 mpg as well.
