I have a few Milodon pumps,but no scale.Maybe someday when someone comes over to scale my car we can weigh the pump also

Still tuning but coming around nicely so far...........

No Scale!
What kind of weight watcher are you? LOL.

In fact, from now on, anyone not having a scale at their disposal is banned from this thread. LOL.

All kidding' aside, how is it that those milodon aluminum bodied pumps don't get eaten up with steel cogs inside its guts?
That was what I was afraid of at first when I looked into them.
Perhaps there's a steel sleeve the protects the aluminum from the steel cogs?

Never mind, by now looking at the photo Hemi-itis has posted, I see that the steel cogs rotate in what looks to be a pressed in steel cog housing.

Thumper. This is exciting news on these new world carbs. It took a weight watchers thread to bring carbs to a new light. Oh wait, you are a carb guy anyways. LOL.

Good carbs

Just went for a 5 mile cruise/blast and damn, these are no BS so just a few more tweaks, and it's track time. On a side note; I went from cruising w/10-12 in of vacuum to 15 which required me to go from a 6.5 p/v to an 8.5 because of the lean dip when I wooded it.........fun stuff with much more to follow. Lighter and faster...........

Dam the first thing that I do with a Holley to tune it is start with a 3.5 P/V and maybe move to a 2.5. Hey that air is thin here.

Thumper, you say "THESE" are no joke. Are you runnin' two carbs?
I always thought you were single. No! not that kind of single. LOL

How much more lighter?

The proper way to tune the p/v is by your steady state cruise rpm's then figure how many inches below that you need to to determine how soon your car needs the enrichment. That's a basic place to start and the 6.5 I ran before w/a 1200+ Dommy does not work w/my now 15 in of vacuum.............An 8.5 made it rock.............

Single twin 1200 cfm............bad dawg and more tuning to come but SUPER sensitive to tune at least for me so far.........

Figured since I have no time to tweak my own wheels, I would post up for a friend with his new street lightweight project.
Fellas and gals, This is not me teasing with a half covered front end, but this is only what he will reveal at the moment.
I really look forward to see what it will run being that Thumperdart is creating a carburetor for it and hope that we have a track within striking distance to do it at.

Having a hard time seeing through the Haze,but you have to go about 125 miles to find legal traction. I hope you guys can make Carlisle this year,Mike will be open Friday,Saturday & Sunday!!

Excited to see the rest of this, one of my all time favorite Mopars.

I like it and the new big bore 1050's with skirted banjos are the cats meow for lots of customers these dayz................

Must...see....MORE!

I'm gonna try and pry some more images from him. I know he has them and I'm gonna find a way to bribe him. LOL
Car looks fantastic in person. It should haul some mail in street trim.

i hope there are no plans for paint. looks like a real bruiser as is !

There is only one other Mopar year model uglier than the 1962 B bodies, those are the 1961 B bodies
They, the 1962 unibodies, are the lightest B body to start with also

I know that he is keeping as is. I'll let the rest of the car be debuted by him.
We have a front end primer thing going on here in these parts.

Yes, it is indeed the lightest of the B-bodies and he has a head start on mine and honestly, I used to have a twitch when ever I saw the 62's, but they have grown on me, especially the Plymouths.
Sometimes the lines or overall design of a car can be affected by the choice of exterior body color. Some colors hide or mend unattractive lines or transitions better than others.
This car is very attractive and business like the way it is set up.

I know you guys can imagine how much I had to work on mine just to narrow down to the stock weight of a 62'.
