This could be all about the advance not working, as more fuel is add the spark curve must match it. OK guys its been a long time since I touched a old Mopar this is vac advance right? I would first find out if the vac port on the carb does indeed supply vac upon acceleration, but none at idle. If this does not work find a port on the carb that does. Next for as cheap as they are just replace the vac pod on/in the dizzy should be two screws and a clip, also make sure the timing advance plate moves freely in the dizzy. To test the vac pod press it all the way in and hold your thumb over the hose port, it should stay put until you remove your thumb from the port.

IIRC is does supply vacuum the way you described. I didn't think about playing with the advance plate. I will do that when I get a chance to, gonna be gone tomorrow.


I bookmarked your post btw, Thanks.

For me it would be the knockers as I don't like most of the donuts in that tray.

Knockers do look nice. And donuts are overrated.

Exactly.

There was rumour of a 88 on 3500 CAB CHASSIS, but I have not confirmed that it actually went into production. If you needed such a tuff axle you could put a sterling 10.5" FS up front.

Personally I only need a 66 up front, I'll beef up the front suspension parts to enable proper distribution of weight so it doesn't stress anything. I chose the sterling 10.25 as I can uprate the truck more with that on it than a 80.

If i do the axle swap, I'll get a custom made door decal that reads: "Ram W3500HD Custom" Seriously.

Interesting. All dodge dealers use the reference I was talking about. I'll have to chew 'em up.

Nowhere in the parts book or on the dana site is a 66 referred to. Your dodge guys are smoking crack it was never made. Don't post BS, google dana 66 and see what info you find about it.
