MM Muscle - 1971 Dodge Challenger

[Jeff]

So yeah, I am pretty sure that I have a busted right rear spring. It cracks and pops and carries on and the car sits crooked. I will be looking into that tomorrow. The engine has been hard starting since the timing has been set correctly and the carb has been tuned to run right on the street. Everyone has been giving me SOOOO much hate for this carb so I said F it!



I bought all these goodies off of ebay for $300 shipped. Edlebrock Performer dual plain ALUMINUM intake and a EB Performer 1406 AVS Carb w/ electric choke. It should be a HUGE driveability and tuning upgrade. The intake will take at least 15lbs off the engine and the whole shebang will be so much easier to work with. Phil is going to sand blast and clear coat the intake manifold for me and I am going to go though the carb myself and make sure everything is right. The seller said he rebuilt it but forgot to set the floats...no big deal. Plus it came off of a 78 Dodge D100 pickup with an automatic trans so it should have all the hookups and everything I need to toss it right on. I have already sold the Thermoquad for $50 (it was worth more, but I was selling it back to Phil) and I will hopefully get $125ish for the 340 cast iron intake. Plus I got that distributor and plug wires/plugs I didn't really want or need. Hoping to get close to $100 for that stuff. Hoping at the end of the day for this move to be almost free.
