Hello all, had another post in thread under electrical, car running boggy and i thought i felt it clear...............took pal out today in cuda, fresh eyes and ears,he reakons have an air leak, did hear a kinda very high whistling sound at side rear carb area only at certain rmm <low to low mid>,know it not carb to manifold as recent carb swap, anyhow was years since i fitted the carb/manifold and somthing have only done once other than the valley pan or windage tray was there any other gasket? sorry if this sounds dumb but im sure all i put was some silicone either side of tray. its and edelbrock performer to 906 heads, cheers in advance nathan. right, i remember now its a one piece doh doh doh, can these be re used re sealed?

I have a 1964 slant 6 225 1 barrel carb. The air filter housing that came with the engine is of course round in shape with an outlet for the breather cap. However the bottom piece that holds the filter is tight to the carb. When I put the top on and tighten the wing-nut as far down as I can the assembly is loose. Does the height of the air filter against the top part of the housing make the whole assembly tight? I'm thinking I have the incorrect air filter? And in 1964 / 65 does the air filter housing have a outlet for the breather cap. I've seen it both ways ?

Wondering if anyone here uses E85 with an aluminum fuel cell. From what I understand, the ethanol tends to pull moisture from the air and you could get water in your system over time. With the way these fuel cells have big open vents, that does concern me a little as I don't plan on having E85 in the cell for short periods of time and draining it. The fuel will be there 24/7. With that being said, I had an idea to try and solve that problem by installing a water separator on the end of the vent line to help remove moisture from the air that enters the cell. Maybe something like a water separator for a compressor or something. The thing is, I don't that if that would work properly since those are designed to work with a compressed air system. All I want to do is try and prevent as much moisture as I can from accumulating in the cell. Anyone have any experience on this or know if that type of moisture trap would work? Throw your 2 cents out there. :happy1:

A nice burn.
Put an Edelbrock dual plane and a 1405 Eddy performer carb on my otherwise stock 318, got er dialed in at idle easily but noticed it felt a little whimpy out on the road.
Pulled a couple of plugs and they were almost pure white.
I upped the mainjets and secondaries two sizes and now it burn like this.

I have the worst fuel smell coming from the two vents on my cell.. I have two 8 AN lines coming from the vents to a bulkhead connectors mounted on the floor of my trunk... What can I do to stop the fuel smell... it's so strong I can't park the car in the garage... Show me what you guys have done?
