Howdy All...Just Got a 'Cuda
Hey everyone...I've always been a big fan of muscle cars, and I've had a few when I was younger (my dad was a big car nut).
I just recently got myself a 1974 Plymouth Barracuda thats in great condition. It's a 318ci V8, but its got a 4 barrel instead of the stock 2 barrel that came with the 318ci. The engine was built in PA by a guy who specialized in racing engines.
The only issue I have with the car is that it still has stock mufflers on it. It's got the dual exhaust, but I think a new set of mufflers would really make the exhaust tone hellish. It's good and loud now, but there's room to improve.
I'm thinking something from Spintech or Flowmaster, but I'm not all too familiar with the fitting types of the older cars.
I have a 2001 mustang with a pair of Spintechs.
Anyone have any suggestions where to look for some advice?
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...
