Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | its chrome and the holes are oblong slits . polish is good for removing any minor rust that starts but wax , like carnuba , will help repel water/oxidation . the first side pipes i had were on a 318 73 charger in 77 . you be
goin along at about 55 or so , drop the automatic down one gear , floored and it would sound like an indy racer . these ones are a good deep hot rod sound ---------------------------------later |

| If you want to get the end carbs to work, progressive linkage for a later mechanical Six Pack setup should work, and is so simple you could duplicate it yourself. As long as all three carbs have accelerator pump, it works great. Super Stock Six Pack carbs had 3 accelerator pumps and no vacuum actuation. I drove a setup like that one the street, daily, in the mid-'90s in Atlanta. I loved it. I had about 1/2 travel on the center carb before the outers would open. Once your foot "learns" it, it's awesome! |

I actually had the Weiand tunnel ram 6 pack with three 2300 Holley's, the were all mech, no vac, except the center. I had a .060 440 in a 71 Demon, but alas someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. the three 2300's with vac pods are for stock street motors, ala the one year only AAR/T/A, and the BB 5 packs, These are Holley ECG-5s are 1 1/16 throats, the biggest available other than the 2110 bug sprayers, the end carbs are choke free and the idles blocked, and don't have pumps, the center will support my motor, weakly, and i don't wanna run straight linkage, but, we'll see. |

| Well, without pumps they're almost certain to bog on opening unless it's very, very slow--hence the vacuum pods on the factory Six Pack/Six Barrel setups. You'd have to be pretty judicious with your right foot to make non-pumped end carbs transition well to WOT.
I had the Weiand tunnel ram as well, but didn't use it. I put the Super Stock carbs (4791 center/4792 outers, if memory serves, but those may be the 340 S/S carbs) on a factory '69.5 A12 Edelbrock intake instead. Not as much power but more fun on the street, and kept the element of surprise! |

I thought of that, but i thought they might look silly on the roof, and because of the fabric tearing, they may not last long.  |

Yep, those numbers sound right, i got my vac pods and accel pumps mixed up, all three had accel pumps and no vac on any, full mech setup, iirc i had to put blocks under them for linkage clearance.
These little holleys on the ends are called "dumpers", you can set the linkage to bring them in at a certain percent of the middle carbs linkage position, when there's enough vac/air flow through the venturi to let them work, maybe somewhere around 70 t0 80 %, make sense?
OOPS, the ECG's ends do have pumps, don't know what i was thinking.

A little more progress today, replaced the rear universal joint and installed the driveshaft, install the new battery and ground cables, installed the new swedged battery terminals and covers, ran a new #10 wire with a fusible link from the alt to the the starter relay, installed a fusible link and bypassed the ammeter, removed and replaced the alt and new electronic regulator after having them checked out, and i ain't talking Autozone, i mean a dedicated auto electrical shop with a guy that knows his doodoo. Gonna be real soon for cranking the motor.

Location: atlanta | Worked on the motor, trying to keep it running for the break in, the new starter started acting up yesterday and was making a hell of a noise, didn't want to mess up the flywheel so called it a day, today we dropped the left header and exhaust, removed the starter, i had another new one here and we compared the bendix movement and determined the starter wasn't extending far enough to engage the flywheel correctly, the new starter solved that problem. I could get the motor to run, but only by priming and filling the fuel bowl, today we took the line loose and had no gas past the regulator, next we filled a container with gas and it sucked some into the pump, but still no gas,i'm thinking bad regulator, removed the input line to the regulator, nothing, went a got a new fuel pump, fixed the problem, tomorrow, re-install the exhaust, and try to break the motor in. Gotta admit the motor sounds pretty good for a ballpark dial in, haven't set the timing or played with the jetting, and the first motor i've built in many moons. The way things are going, i may be cruising by Christmas, and i mean Christmas this year. |

Next i have to adjust the valves, set the timing and play with the center carb. Chuck was right the side pipes sound good, mellow as heck. |

Location: atlanta | Film at 11:00 Mick, was going to make a video today, but my two topless female assistants weren't down for it! :-). these core plugs seem to be holding so far. by the way, here's how i by-passed the fire starter (ammeter), dual field 60 amp alt, I ran a 10G wire from the output lug of the alt, with a 14G fusible link at the starter relay lug, the field wire remains the same, the second field wire is grounded. A 12G wire from the alt to the headlight switch power lug with a fusible link at the switch end. The 12G original power in to the ammeter from the starter relay lug is disconnected from the ammeter and a fusible link installed and runs to the tie point for all the rest of the circuits and as a return for battery power if the alt is not engaged. |

It sounds like you have 2 supplies going to the headlight switch?
The alternator should have B+ all the time (not like the generator), so there is no need to have a wire to cover if the alternator is not working
If you have 2 supplies going to the same place, each with its own fuse, you can basically add the 2 fuses together and come up with what the circuit is fused at, as an example, 2 wires, each with a 20 amp fuse coming from the same place and going to the same place will be a 40 amp circuit
(before anyone goes nuts about some stupid long formula to get an exact current rating, this is an indication and an advice not to have a double supply)

Location: atlanta | Yes Mick, looks like I'm at it again, tried to sell it, tried to trade it, nobody wants a project unless it's free, or almost free.
I didn't personally do the repair on the frame, I don't have the equipment, and probably the skills either. The guys did a great job, measured it six ways from Sunday before welding anything permanently.
I now have a new problem, the column shifter has no spring tension when shifting out of 1st to find neutral, it's a hard place to access to see exactly what's going on in here. |

The only 2 body shops I know that is good is Marks auto body and Buckmans in Melbourne, FL. My dad knows the owner of Buckmans auto body. I have a gallon of epoxy primer for the car and some black paint from the other '61 |
