Thank you for the head’s up on the Torsion Bars. I’m smart enough to know there’s always something lurking ready to take a huge bite out of you if you don’t know what you’re doing (which I don’t). Will give your build a look. Thank you.

You’re correct. Never had ‘Struts’. I got my wires crossed there.

I have a 67 Polara, 383 with Factory Disc Brakes on the front. Can I replace front Struts and Rear Shocks by myself at home? Can’t find a tutorial for a simple replacement anywhere. Most videos deal with a suspension upgrade. The service manual is only a paragraph without any images. Would I...

I am sure I reassembled this Carter 2BBD Carb Choke Thermostat wrong. I can't find anything about it in the service manual for 67. What "O'Clock" should I tighten down the hub of the spring thermostat? Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you!

I am looking for a Manifold Heat Control Valve Thermostat - MoPar #2806353. The only ones I can find online come with a kit to replace the entire assembly. I circled the item in the image below. If anyone can sell me an original or repro or point me to where I can find an equivalent it would be...

Great stuff! Lots to go on. Thanks so much for the great details. It removes a lot of doubt from the process.

Fantastic! Thank you for the photos. I presume you run the pump all the time correct? I was thinking of only using it to prime the carb but I’m not sure if the mechanical pump can pull fuel through the electric pump when it’s not running. Going to keep researching.

Hey all. I’m going to install a Mr. Gasket #12S electric fuel pump into my 67 Polara 383 with AC. Every now and then I need to prime the carb. I’m scratching my head on where to put it as it has to be at the lowest fluid level of the tank. I am probably going to bolt a steel bracket onto the...

Excellent advice! There are only two ports on the Carter 2 barrel BBD. One to vacuum advance and one to vacuum choke assembly. I am sure they are both properly routed. I will do as you suggest re: clamping off vacuum advance and setting the timing. You're definitely on to something here. I keep...

Lots to of good stuff to try here thanks. I did rebuild the carb myself a few dozen miles ago. Im not an expert on carb tuning so there's a lot I may have messed up. I read the instructions as closely as I could but nothing beats and expert doing the job. I just took the top off a few days a go...

I’m going to print this up and go through it step by step. You can’t go wrong with the basics. Thanks!

I’ve gone over the vac lines a zillion times and adjusted the air/fuel screws up and down a bunch but the rough idle persists. I’m starting to lean toward it being a valve problem of some sort. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

I think it’s past acceptably rough even taking into account the age of the car. I’ve thought along the same lines that I was being too picky and I should just live with it but seeing the engine wobble and shudder non-rhythmically just doesn’t seem right. Listening to the tail pipe sounds like a...

Good to know. It’s not stuck. It moves freely. The thermostat coil is there but I think it’s slipped off the stop pin.

It is idling rough regardless of hot or cold engine. That’s what’s got me puzzled.

It’s a Carter 2 Barrel BBD-4297S. I just rebuilt it and put in a new gas tank, fuel uptake unit and fuel lines. Vacuum was around 22 in.Hg when timed to 12.5 degrees advanced. About 20 in.Hg when timed to zero degrees. I’m starting to think it’s not getting enough air somehow. I’ll be damned if...

The Manifold Heat Control Valve on my 67 Polara 383 wA/C seems to be missing the thermostat on the back of the exhaust manifold. I've been trying to locate some gremlins that have been causing a ROUGH IDLE. Compression is okay. I've checked for and fixed vacuum leaks, reset the timing, reset the...

The fan clutch is definitely NOT doing it's job. It has small amount of resistance but turns with almost no effort. Shroud is in place and the blades are positioned as you recommended. Will investigate/replace fan clutch. Thanks for the head's up on that!

It was running cool when it was timed per specs (advanced 12.5 degrees) but it was idling rough at that timing. Now the timing is retarded and it idles much better but it now overheats. Am going to try a few tweaks. What am I missing?
