Super Neil, will PM for buying details. Thinking of using one of your thick gaskets between manifold and the D.Robson heat deflector plate, and stock ones between that and the carbs.
Dave, will using plate, thicker gaskets etc effect the choke operating rod (which I do want to keep) as there will now be a greater distance? Also will it all fit under the T/A hood ok - guess I might have to find this out myself!

Karlos.... you sure can... how big is your wallet 
anything is acheiveable
but no one can exceed the speed of their wallet
CP I've also got thinner Cometic gaskets on order but they haven't arrived yet..... the ones i've got are .188, the ones i'm waiting for are .064... ordered these as I figured there wouldn't be much room.
In an ideal world the more spacers/Gaskets under the carb the better

Actually you can.Karlos wrote:Hi there dave,sorry to take u off topic a min m8.
But Can i get my Chrysler Newport 65,383 BBl to sound like ur car?
Awsome man.
Go to http://www.hughesengines.com/ and look at their Muscle Car Series Camshafts.
Then all you need is a 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust system and away you go!These cams are designed to provide a very aggressive, "Muscle Car" idle without all of the draw backs of big cams. They sound big and bad but are still tame enough for cruising and car shows. They will provide explosive power, off idle. Great for stop light to stop light cruising or just for showing off at the car shows! They sound bad to the bone just like the muscle cars of yesteryear but with awesomely quick throttle response. They will not produce the full power of our "real" Chrysler cams but they sure sound like they will. These cams have fast rate of lift, but the lower total lift will somewhat limit the rates. With the lower total lift, the valve guides will not need to be shortened so the cams can be installed without removing the heads for machine work. They can be used with stock rockers, stock length pushrods and stock torque converters.
Previously only available by custom order, these cams are now available in our three most popular hydraulic cruiser, car show type grinds. These cams are designed to be used with our 1110 spring in the Small Blocks and our 1105 spring in the Big Blocks. You can use either our 5001 or 5003 lifters.
Note: Do not use these cams with a rocker ratio above 1.5:1.
Rumperty rumperty rumpery RUMP!

I got some 1ft exhaust pipe for mi 3500 ram 10's here we come NOT 
repeat after me ya can never exceed the speed of your wallet, which I take to mean..... if your wallet doesn't refill over night then you're in deep brown stuff.
At least it's a good laugh while bleeding the wallet and credit cards dry

He said sound not run guys ! if it has a single pea shooter a change to duels with flowmasters or similer will make it sound better, maybe mellow but it will sound nice !
One other thing that most forget is the car usually has more in it but most can get close but not find that last little bit, not everyone has the experience of guys like Dave or Duncan and I am sure a lot read books and get themselves all confused and go the wrong way.
Until you can go no faster and a change slows the car you should change nothing IMO, then and only then do the reserch and work out what parts youneed to reach your ultimate goal.

Yeah I know Alex.Alex wrote:He said sound not run guys !
Part of the sound is the lumpy idle right? Those Hughes muscle car cams are way streetable but sound hot as hell. One of those plus a big dual exhaust and his car would sound as good (or as rough) as a 10 second car.
I took what he said seriously and I was being serious with my suggestion.

Hummmmm...we went from carb spacers to cams and then to mufflers....very diverse post....LOL
Let's start with 6 pack carb gaskets, we're making the changes to the gasket so it won't interfere with the pumps.
Dave, if you could measure the location and depth of the recess I'll adjust the CnC program to notch it.
6 Pack Spacers, we have them in Aluminum from .030 to .5, after .5 we go to CnC machined billet plate and the price of course goes up. We can also cut them out of Stainless Steel in various thickness' and the new Viton Rubber coated Al or Stainless go up to .064.
The gaskets that "Wil" has in stock are made from Aramid fiber, this has proven to be an excellent heat insulator and makes a gasket that's almost indestructible, impervious to fuel, oil, water and about anything else you can soak it in.
We also use this material for intake gaskets, Demon/Holley float bowl and metering block, I've had mine on my carb for 3 years ABSOLUTLY WILL NOT STICK....EVER.
The General Sales Manager of a very well known Carburetor manufacturer just installed a set on his own carb
Also great for Valve cover and oil pan rails for SB and BB Mopars.
We can cut gaskets for almost any application from any of the available materials in various thicknesses?. Our Viton over Stainless front cover gaskets for SB & BB are the ultimate in sealing technology....NO MORE SILICONE and reusable as they have a 80% recovery rate from compression.
On to Mufflers...you guys live in a relatively damp climate I believe or so my Mother tells me as she was raised in England.
Tin mufflers such as the Flow Master Dyno max and many others are made from tin....tin rusts rather quickly in moist conditions....so why not consider the SpinTech mufflers.....built from heavy sheet steel designed to last for year and years. The sound is awesome nothing like it, to me all those tin mufflers sound like a Chevy....ting ting ting.....I like the powerful thud of the SpinTechs. They also eliminate that droan you get at cruise that drives your ears wacky and get's your wife begging to get out of the car....wait, maybe that's not such a bad thing...let me reconsider....LOL
On to cams.....as many years as I've been building motors and racing I still rely on a cam engineer to select and grind the correct cam for each and every application. I fully understand the lobe separation relationship between lift and duration and the ramp speed and base circle stuff. I still rely on the best in the Mopar Business, Jimmy at Racer Brown to select and grind every cam we use. Buying a cam because someone expresses an opinion like "Works Great" "Car runs Perfect"...is silly, no two cars are alike, stock cams worked great and the motors ran perfect but aren't we trying to build more HP?
Racer Brown developed all those Mopar Grinds in the 50's and 60's that gave our Mopars their very unique sound of power, there's no mistaking the well tuned thump of a Mopar engine.
It stems from a lifetime of R&D by the Racer himself (God rest his sole). You can read all the marketing gibberish from a dozen cam companies but I guarantee you you'll not have a better running, more powerful, better sounding Mopar than cammed with a Racer Brown masterpiece of Mopar engineering.
Jimmy still get's to the shop every morning at 6am and personally grinds every Racer Brown Cam just as he has for years. There is no assembly line, there is no shelf stock, your cam is ground for your car...perfectly every time....you can throw away your degree wheel you won't be needing it.
Just be aware that these fancy catalogs are written by professional copy writers many of whom have never seen a Mopar engine or probably even a V-8.
Go look at Comps website under employment opportunities....their ready to hire a College student....not a graduate, as part time technical writer. I'll bet that pays big wages....LOL
Someday I'll post the truth on cam manufacturing in the USA, you'll be shocked at what your actually getting.
How many times have you read posts...."I tried one of those XYZ Cams and it was brown stuff" ....."I switched to a ABC cam and it's fantastic"...if they only knew what a laugh that was giving *those who know the truth*..or "Those XYZ Lifter are junk I bought some ABC lifters and they worked great"....I'm rolling on the floor laughing.
Enough on this....
