360 Duster Update

Post by kev73dart »

Hi All

Well my new toy is progressing and I am ironing out the bugs as they turn up
The TTI Headers and mini starter are now fitted, headers are damn close to the new starter so I have had to shield the starter in a couple of areas.

The Flowmaster 40's are fitted and she really does sound evil on idle, coupled with the cam. I can see me swapping these for something a little less aggressive but want to use it for a while first.

I am contemplating swapping the Edelbrock carb for a 600 Holley that a mate has offered me, but I need to suss out what jets etc need to be for my set up. A lot of people tell me the Edelbrock carb is a pain to properly set up.

Great to be back in Mopar ownership :)

Cheers

Kev

Solid

Post by kev73dart »

It is Pete, it is rock solid everywhere.

I am now toying with Chassis Black everywhere I can get and Waxoyl everywhere else, or just waxoyl the lot.

When I have rebuilt my bank account the car will be finished in eye popping Sassy Grass......well that is the plan at the moment!

Car looks great Kev! :thumbright:

Genuine query regards the exhaust......I thought dumping at the rear axle like that was an MOT no no??

I see many cars like it in the US and they sound bloody mean with that setup......The only real issue I ever hear is resonance can be exaggerated when compare to dumping at the rear?

Penny for you thoughts? :thumbright:

That looks great Kev!! thumbright

Ive just put the same Flowmasters on mine and they definately sound great....bet yours sounds mean with those stubby ends

I have factory undershield and I have just redone all of it. I would highly recommend Hammerite waxoil spray in an aerosol can. I did the whole underside with 6 cans and the spray pattern is very accurate when you need to get into the corners etc. I did some masking as the spray is quite fine and gets everywhere if you are not careful.

Great looking car mate....keep the pics coming please Drool

Exhausts

Post by kev73dart »

Hi Dave

The car was MOT'd with a worse system on and no turn downs, but I am not sure about what is acceptable and what is not, but with my son having his own garage I do have access to the MOT standards, so I will do some digging before next July!

It does BOOM, especially on tick over, and has already been mistaken for a big block twice! I'd love to know what the cam is because it has a real good lumpy idle!!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Cheers

Kev

Waxoyl

Post by kev73dart »

We tend to use the Gallon tins of Waxoyl through an airgun, but I guess the aerosols are a bit more controlled.

Don't think I will get that done this time, still playing with the fuel gauge, think its the sender unit.

Cheers

Kev. As far as I know regarding exhaust is that it must exit past where any fumes can rise to a seating area. So probably border line before axle.
My truck has turn downs just after cab and passed mot no probs. :thumbright:

Good stuff....Quite fancy a system the same as yours, so be good to see if it can get through without issue!

Sounds like a well sorted 360......lumpy can and short exhaust = :headbang:
