Re: Colorado Belvedere Convertible progressing
John, Wow, I do know how much work you have going on for yourself. Just keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. Believe me the 413 in the place of the 361 is a great improvement in torque/ horsepower and not bad fuel economy. especially at the 5000 foot plus elevation in Colorado . Let me k...

Re: Engine running uneasy
Eddie, From your discription of your problem; I think your float level needs to be checked and make sure the needle seat or seats are tight against the gasket rings and that they do seal the fuel. There are two floats inthe AFB carburetor. I believe you will find this to be the cause of your driveab...

The early B engines have a couple of problems. air passing under the manifold lost a lot of heat duriong cold weather driving conditions. The pad retains heat under the manifold, and keeps undesireable things from cookin...

Re: Replacing intake manifold gaskets
Roger, The exhaust gas crossover and early fuel evaporation control valve or heat riser is entirely for driveability in cold weather driving and cold start units with automatic choke units. Again I was trying to stay out of the deep end of the pool where all the bodys are. The latent heat of the vap...

Re: Replacing intake manifold gaskets
Hi, I am going to give you the old mechanical tech view of the oil baffle/shield and windage tray and what they are intended for without going to the deep end of the pool; Oil baffle/shield, The heat crossover in the intake manifold gets so hot that it bakes the oil and impurities to the bottom of t...

Re: Towing question
Ernie; I assure you it is better to tow with your Plymouth, than with the old Ford. Automatic transmission equiped vehicles make better tow units. I have towed many thousands of problem free miles with Power Flite and Torque Flite cast iron transmissions. Make sure your radiator and transmission oil...

Re: shift cable, air cleaner
Golden commando air cleaners in 59? any way The chrysler 300 club has many of the aircleaners re-popped and are very nice with a matching price. The 395 aircleaner may be redone in Colorado If a minum number of orders are met, also not cheap. I will check if I have a early shift cable. I need to kno...

Re: Dual 4 bbl. Air Cleaners.
F.Y.I. The original oval air cleaner necks are too small for the newer carbs, maybe someone makes a reverse adapter. Dual carbs should be small C.F.M. rated. The original AFB carbs work just fine. I have no idea what the CFM rating was, I would guess less than 600 C.F.M. together.

Re: !Hazard a Guess!
My guess would be 600 plus being I have an engine hoist that would pick up an early Hemi engine but couldn't budge the early Big Chrysler 6 cylinder engine less a transmission.
