I remember when this car was for sale in Linden NJ a few years ago. It didn't have that rake look though at the time. Glad you saved it . I have been watching your thread.

Hi, Now that the sub freezing temperature is finally here I was able to give my 70 Newport a true old start cold start. Two pumps of the gas pedal, hit the key, and it cranks to life quickly- however I noticed that for the first minute and a half of warm up, the exhaust is very rich (smoky)...

NOT MINE but local to me. https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/d/saddle-brook-69-dodge-polara/7195890438.html

Turns out the screws for the base of the carburetor housing were not snug. Problem solved. Lesson learned. = Always check other people's work.

That's guys. Will be checking the throttle plates and base gasket tomorrow . Will report back with my findings.

Thanks guys for the advice. I checked for air leaks around the base gasket and intake gasket using carb cleaner and I have detected no leaks. While parked Ive checked the throttle linkage and shaft to see if its sticks but at a glance it doesn't appear to. However, I noticed on my most recent...

Hi guys, I am looking for expert advice from those of you who are familiar with the Carter BBD 2 barrel carburetors found on many of our beloved C bodies. Previously In this thread thread -->> Anyone else have minor hesitation/jerking at part throttle?? I was troubleshooting an at cruising...

I haven't yet but will try that tonight.

The orange box Mopar electronic ignition kit was installed about 7 years ago and have about 1000 miles on them. The wires were installed at the same time and are thick Taylor 8 mm wires. Jumping back on the ignition wagon.. I have been recommended earlier in the thread to try advancing the...

Ok to summarize, I know my initial timing is at 10°BTDC and my vacuum advance works. Just took the car out for a nice long run with the newly installed Champion spark plugs and a full tank of 93 octane gas with Ethanol stabilizer added. Really runs like a top overall but unfortunetly still has...

I believe that definitely was a big part of the problem. I'm noticing much improvement in throttle response and smoothness at cruising. Here is a picture of the car for prosperity.

I know the previous owner well and have the maintenance log/notes on what he did to the car. I just swapped out the E3s for Champion RJ12C gapped at .035 and I am already noticing a complete difference! Here is a pic of one of the E3 plugs. The gap is much larger then .035.

That will be my next move. The previous owner mentioned he put E3 spark plugs in the car. ( the type that has 2 electrodes and theoretically cant foul). Has anyone had experience with these in a 383 2barrel engine?

Yes, new plugs, wires, fuel filter,

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned stepping up my jet size by one larger then factory. I may take that route next.

Ok looks like everything checks out. With the vacuum advance unhooked there isn't much movement below 900 RPM. There is around 7° of movement in the 900-1500 range. PS: My electronic ignition kit was installed about 7 years ago /1000 miles ago.

Took a timing light to the car and at idle the timing mark lines up with "10° Before"

That is going to be my next move. For starters , what is the initial timing these cars supposed to be set at ?

So just an update- capping the vacuum advance line at the carb causes the car to have an off idle bog and a pretty decent part throttle surge that wasnt there before. What do you think of this? @Turboomni

The vacuum advance is hooked up to the ported vacuum supply line on the carburetor. I have the 2 barrel Carter BBD.
