Searching for an old Plymouth
Back in '63 I had a small shop in Fort Worth and got a call one day
from a friend who had just picked up '62 Plymouth factory drag race car. He said it ran poorly and asked if I was interested in repairing it.... of course I was.
It had a 426 with cross ram induction, cast iron rams horn headers with dumps and a flat cam. After replacing the cam I decided that I probably should drive this beast for a day or two just to be sure it ran okay. What a awesome machine.
I would like to locate a simular car to buy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
