    • @JustMoparJoe
      @JustMoparJoe  2 роки тому

      @@cbobmonster I believe the slant 6 throttle cables are longest, to keep from binding the cable. Other than that, I like to adapt the stock cable holders if possible. Sometimes you can take a flat piece of metal and weld in the middle between the clamp and base.

      Yes, I was thinking the same thing looks like it needs to come up a little bit, but I’ll figure something out runs a hell of a lot better than a Quadra jet lol thanks for the advice

    Love it!!! When I installed my dust over it made same noise. I almost had a heart attack, I just flipped it over but had to change my shorts real quick. You did an amazing job. Would love to see what this runs at the track for fun!!

    • @JustMoparJoe
      @JustMoparJoe  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks brother. I trimmed this cover to fit the bigger 360 rear main seal, so I had space to get a hook in and pull the cover away from the bolts. That did the trick. I actually have a period correct sure grip to install in this car, then traction should be greatly improved. It pulled really strong from around 1,800 on, but I was scared I was going in the ditch with that steering.

    Pulls real good for a small block in a "B" body.

    • @JustMoparJoe
      @JustMoparJoe  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks brother. You may notice the tire started smoking a second after the gas pedal went down. I believe it needs some lighter springs on the front needles. It’s a small cam, but one size larger than a 340 magnum cam. Moved pretty good for a sled with 2.94 gear and home ported 318 heads on a 360 block.

    I noticed your engine hoist does not have a swivel connection, I bought one of those for mine a few years ago and it surely helps when you're by yourself putting an engine in otherwise the chain always wants to twist the engine. I bought the last one from Harbor Freight and it works great. You should get one and try it

    Far as I no the Poly 318 T Flight is geared lower in 1 st an 2nd . Then the later T. Flight . Going by . The Australian early Dodge Phoenix here on The T. Flight . Got to love a poly shame he didn’t rebuild the poly as they can be set up to go hard an they pull hard . The exhaust on a poly with the right system kills the late model 318 . Nice job anyway super clean .
