8/23/20: Today was a good Day. Got to take a nice 2 hour Drive over the mountains to the AutoX site. Got 6 runs in.. Nothing broke or blew up. Went off course first 2 laps, Then got it figured out. As the Car got hotter and I pushed harder it slowed down due to the Fuel Starvation on RH. Turns. I believe the Carter BBS 1 Bbl only has one Jet / Metering Rod and it's on the Right side of the Carb... I will look into that this week. The Carter Designers should have really took this whole AutoX thing into account when they were designing their BBS 1 barrel carb in the 1950's I think I might try putting a baffle in the float bowl and also raising the float a but more too. The CPR Region of the SCCA did a fantastic job organizing the event and I have 160 or so Photos of the car too!.. So for the car's First official AutoX Event I am happy. It wasn't the slowest thing there and it seemed to handle well for what it is. Results: https://scca-cpr.com/site/wp-content/up ... 09_raw.htm Some shots.. On the Drive up.. In the paddock: The Club took great photos! Here are some: 'Till Next time! Greg

Hi Brian, Good to see you around! I might figure it out... or maybe not.. its only going to be around as a 1 bbl a few more months anyway. I jus' figured I will I will go FULL MIMKEN with it and see what happens. Greg

Oh, don't ever go full Mimken... Speaking of carbs, I am such a nit picker, that I think I cannot deal with carbs much anymore. I have spent time in the 62 Valiant trying to get the Hly 500 to behave under all conditions, and so I am constantly fiddling with it. Can't wait to get the new IR intake/TBs on there and megasquirt it. Can't beat carbs for simplicity, though. Had a nice call from Mr. Mimken yesterday - golden. Lou

Greg, I only recommend going Full Mimken for short bursts of time! Oh, and definitely not in front of the boss (work or home)! It does come in handy though Brian Note to self- if I start letting all of my secrets out, I'll probably get banned from reputable places. Also, I am currently doing side gigs posing as a restaurant host/hostess. Let me know if you would like to hire me!

9/23/20: Getting some work done on the mighty 1 bbl - It had some fuel starvation issues pretty consistently in the last 2 outings of autoX on Hard R Turns - Fuel Sloshing away from the one Jet(located on the right side in the fuel bowl) in this carb. I built a small baffle that hopefully will help. I tried to drive it to work today, but It wouldn't' start. Maybe I set the float level too High... Those floats must be touchy in regard to level changes. I will pull the plugs and see if I flooded it and will also make sure there is spark.. will double check carb float levels and reset to stock if needed. Some pics of the mighty autocrossing 1 bbl...

10/15/20: Well the Baffle Idea in the BBS had me baffled.... ha.. no It did not work. Took the car to the Salem, Va AutoX and Still had Fuel starvation / Bucking issues with the car in Hard R Hand Turns. It was a blast however seeing some Stout Corvairs and Mustang II tearin' up the cone course. I also was able to do some mountain Driving with friends on the Back of the Dragon from Marion to Tazewell Va.... whatta Fun Road! http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic ... 42&t=65306 I got Back home and last night the girls wanted to go to dinner and the fall weather was just right.. so a ~270 Mile Drive to Summit Racing in Tallmadge seemed appropriate. All interstates this time. - Was able to procure some goodies for various projects including an aem 30-0300 and a Set of Enkei RPF01's for Grüne Hölle. We ate dinner near Kent State Univ, before heading home. Also Found a decent fix for my Smashed Driver's Side Door armrest. I did a pile driver move on it with my elbow at the autox Course in Virginia. It was toast. after I smashed it, I removed it from the door. And Came up with a lighter more pliable alternative.. Dog Leash. I can still pull the door shut when needed. Future (Winter) Plans include: -Building a Proper oil pan - I mean you can't go to moroso or canton or stefs for Slant 6 pans... -Mounting the Falken Azenis's on the RPF01's -Fitting the Fiberglass Hood -Installing a proper engine / Intake / Exhaust with O2 Sensor -Maybe fit up some better front Seats Cheers, Greg

Woo, those have a lot of positive offset; about 17mm more than you need. Were you planning on running a spacer? 3797806535SP looks like a better fit.

When I put an 8 3/4 under the '66 Barracuda it was the slightly narrower '67 B-body axle and it fit well with 17x8" +30mm wheels with 235/40R17 tires. There was just a little more inboard clearance than outboard.
