. I know 400 is very attainable from a 383 of this build- do you guys think a mopar cam is the way to go? NOOOOO Is this cam degreed? If not do that first. If it is degree what are the specs on the duration at .050 and LSA and intake lobe center? I'm still thinking you have a lean pop at light part throttle application, driving Or maybe a vacuum leak the cam is degreed, cam card said 112 or 113. it was at 114, i tried 112 and now 108 and no change. The carb is a 870 vacuum secondaries, i have tried 2 distributors,... checked for vacuum leaks at the carb, and intake with spray. saw no change. adjusted valves multiple times. No change, it pops and backfires through the carb. Timing has been adjust from 5 ATDC Through- 20 BTDC Thoughts?

I did not look back to find the cam specs but any time I hear 112,113 LSA on a N/A BB Mopar I cringe unless it is for power brakes. All the BB I've play with N/A except one B1 bracket motor liked cams ground on 110 or narrower LSA, the B1 motor had a solid roller race cam ground from Koffels on a 111 LSA installed at 109 ATDC on the intake lobe and it made 920 HP at or around 7000 RPM with single Dominator carb on a cast single four barrel B1 intake Have you done a compression test and or a leak down test on all 8 cylinders? If not I would so I could be sure none of the intake valves are staying opened or bent 383 motors are a short stroke motor so they don't have the torque or power that the BB do so to get them to make good power you have to revved them up (above 6000 RPM) and keep them revved up in the power band

I pulled a 600 cfm carb off my caddy with a SBC, dropped it on and the car runs great! No backfire, no pop, great throttle response.
This is an older model with manual choke and single fuel inlet. It started right up, and idled great. revved it and no backfire, took it for a drive and it drove great.
Why does the carb I took off a Holley Avenger 870, run like poo? Power valve was fine, no vacuum leaks i could find.
I started the car on the avenger, revved it, and it backfired. Swapped the carbs started it, revved it and no back fire.
No changes, reused the carb base gasket, NO tuning changes, same timing. WHAT THE HECK!!!! THIS WAS A BRAND NEW HOLLEY!?!?!?!?!?!?

Assuming low cost provider on parts. Check see if all air bleeds, jet passageways ect are clean.
I was thinking the carb was giving problems my friend was fighting the same issue. i took one of my old carbs over and his car ran fine.

I would prefer to do it myself.
Took it for a test drive tonight. was running kinda weird, little stumble in first gear, not a lot of power till about 3k rpms. Then it died on me. Just died rolling up to a stop light. Would not restart. Didn't hiccup, fart or couch. Just cranked.
I checked all the connections and fuses for the ignition. All good. I cranked it several more times over a few minutes. Nothing. I decided it was a good time to watch good ol youtube. After a 10 minute video, i hit the key and it fired right up.
Ran better than it did earlier, no stumble, no hesitation. I just drove it home.
This happened the other night, except it just wouldn't start. I checked for spark then and had none. I messed with a connection for 12v. and then it started, i had assumed it was a bad connection, so i replaced it. I am now thinking this wasn't the issue it was purely coincidental.
It has fuel, and it has air, so it must be spark.
MSD 6AL and MSD coil. would the coil be most likely to heat up and cause an open? then cool down and work? or would the 6AL be more likely to do that?
Since i got it home everything works so i can't very well check it now. Just looking for a game plan.

If my memory is serving me correct the" 657" carrier was made before the 742 was, maybe prior to 1962, I have seen on here that they both use the same size pinion gear , seals and pinion bearing, I'm not sure if that is correct or not though I remember seeing one in a 1957 or 1958 Plymouth Savoy flat head stick shift car that had 3.73 gears in it, I wish now that I had bagged that rascal but I didn't

You have a bad connectio, or corrosion, in the circuit feeding 12V to the MSD box or between the box and coil or maybe the mag pickup connections Something is heating up and breaking the connection stopping the power to one of those components Once it cools down and shrinks back down it works correct How close to the ocean do you park the car or are you in the bay area where it gets really foggy ?
