What I see is a square bore..Where all 4 butterfly valves are the same size..

The Edelbrock spread bore(like mine) needs a intake manifold to match that spread bore..

If you have a spread bore now on your engine, I believe you would need an adapter to make it fit. An adapter that would fit between the intake manifold and the carb that you are looking at..

Now Edelbrock makes an aluminum intake that can accept both type of bore designs..And I am trying to find the link to that...

I'm sure this has been asked a million times. We know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. BUT! I just picked up a Edelbrock 1411 2651 Carb with 8867 05220-231. I think it's a 750 CFM. First question is what is it.Second question is will it work on my Dodge 440. Thanks

Pic 1..The air plenum..Dirty but in good shape...

Pic 2..Flexible hoses for the windshield defrost..

Pic 3..Part of the dog house assembly..

Before I do all this, I think I will get the engine located in the frame..

With the dash out of the way, it makes finishing the engine easier..

So that is next..Install engine..

Just trying to do what ever I can..

Dragged out the stuff that goes under the dash..Heater box..plenum..brackets..

Pic 1...Opened up the heater box..In pretty good shape..dusty

Pic 2..Filled up the heater core with CLR to test for leaks and clean out any calcium lime that it might be able to clear out..

Pic 3..Here is the wires to the fan motor..2 speeds..the slow speed power goes through that coiled wire as a resistor..Gets hot and needs the blowing air to cool it down ..

Is there such a thing as a solid state resistor??Maybe something better than a hot coil to create the slow speed...

Pic 1..You can then flip it over to wrap the vinyl around the edges on the back side..

Pic 2 ..here is a screen shot of the 73 Indian sales brochure..Shows the dash where there is a brown vinyl trim at the bottom of the dash,,Black vinyl on the flat area is and then brown across the flat top, running into the windshield..

Using the original wood trim wrapped in brown vinyl with the same backer foam and the 77 glue

Ran out of daylight..that is all for now

I bought 2 yards of this headliner foam stuff. It has a black cloth glued to 1/4 foam..

It is time to work on the reupholstering  of the dash..I tried the white polyester...shown in the picture bottom right..

No good..don't use that..It is messy to glue and is lumpy under the vinyl

Use this headliner foam..3M 77 spray on glue..works great and has a smoothness to it that is easy to work with

That 77 glue is unbelievably strong..Spray on both surfaces..1 minute wait and it will stick great,,Gives a little bit of time to reposition..Then it is done..
