[BaadAssGremlins] Re: 401 Carb

["Simms" <MrSimms7@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Ramblin Ralph...

I knew what carb you were talkin about...just thought it was an odd 
choice for a 401...seeing as how a DP is good for manual cars or 
performance cars...but the 650 would be good on a stock 401...thats 
why I thought it was odd...

carb choice...well...you sound like you only wanna buy things 
once...a 750 vac would be great on it for a mild build and plenty of 
street duty...and still get ya down the track...and if yer gonna 
build a stout motor and street duty maybe an 800...but if you wanna 
go racing look into the DPs...;)

rockers...I only see one way to go there...Harland Sharp...great 
rocker...and a heck of a tech line...you run into a prob w/ them they 
help you out right then and there...

headers...people really put down the hedmans...which leads me to 
believe I have the best set of hedmans on an AMC since people don't 
wanna seem to save money and do it themselves...weld a bead around 
the outter flange and then give the header a gasket match port 
job...and weld up anywhere you burn thru...then weld a bead around 
the flange area that seals to the gasket...take the headers to a shop 
w/ a 2' belt sander and have them sand the mating surface flat...now 
you have headers that match the ports...plenty of area for the header 
to seal w/...AND if they were warped or uneven like many also 
complain about...the belt sanding will true it all up...I'd rather 
spend $120 on parts...add some work...and pay someone to belt sand 
for a total of 150-160$ rather than shell out 300+ for hookers...and 
still have the urge to re-work them...LoL...

to really answer questions it'd help to know what all you want to 
change and what exactly you want the car to do...for example...I 
build my car as a race car on the street...so if it don't make my car 
faster in a straight line or help launch...I don't mess w/ it...the 
limits on it is that I must be able to use the trans on the 
street...and the motor must be able to be cruized...5mpg or not...the 
motor/trans cooling also revolves around that...same w/ the 
tires...I'll run the lightest rims I can get and not worry about 
hittin a hole...and the skinniest tires I can on the front...same w/ 
the rear...I run a drag radial or a DOT tire cause I can't run a 
slick on the street...shocks and springs are the same...get the 
idea?...

you tell us exactly what you want...and we can help ya out from 
there...;)
