You can still tune for greater economy with added timing advance, leaner
mixture, etc.  The factory started doing this in 1975 when the catalytic

The car we were talking about was an ex diesel  with a 1980 Olds 350 gas

At WOT there is zero vacuum, so the vacuum advance is not a factor.

While I will readily admit that HEI was a factor as well (the hotter spark
allowed reliable firing of the lean and diluted mixtures), there is no
question that a '76 98 got far better fuel economy at 55 mph than did a '72.
These cars were the same size, and the '76 was actually heavier.  The
difference was better tuning which was made possible by improved smog
control technology.

The first thing I'd check would be the transmission tail stock bushing for the driveshaft yoke.  Mine was wasted when I first bought my Cutlass.  Of sourse check U-Joints, and also the driveshaft balance.

They make several models that are DOT-legal. these are 2" belts in 
3-point (Y-belt) and 4-point. Popular for rallies and autocrossing. See 
the link. They also make pro stuff for real race cars in 3" with 
FIA/SFI certs.
I like the Rally-3 with automatic locking tensioner (Their AutoControl 
Harness). It's electronic, with accelerometers so it can tell the 
inertial reel when to lock up, but it can be locked manually with a 
switch when you know you're going to need it tight.

you must not run lean with a catalytic converter, it will not work, you must

Right, but.... pinging is only possible at part throtle in those engines -
high vacuum and the v. advance at full operation.
At WOT there is a power valve working in the carb and the AFR is on the rich
side, More - a std engine will never stuff enough air inside to ping withe
so low CR. Even my high CR 350HP 355ci will never ping at WOT . ( neither at
part with any sane advance )

There was the ignition, the rear end, better air penetration coefficient
possibly as well, smaller valves, smaller cam, maybe better tires ?

I had the same impeller-crunching experience that Andrew had when I tried
the OEM-type gasket, which is why we both (and everyone else who runs this
pump) used the thick gasket.  I agree, Milton, it seems shoddy to design a
high performance water pump and then have to "shim" it with the big gasket.
Reference any of my previous rantings on "automotive engineers" and their
usefulness in the real world.  I say they should all have to actually use

Subject: Re: Fuel economy carb for Olds 350

That carburetor is the Dualjet, a 2 barrel version of the Quadrajet.
They came out with these around 1978 or so, I believe.

These were definitely used on a lot of early-mid 80s cars, including cars with the 3.8 V6 (example, Regal or Cutlass Supreme), and also on the 3.0 V6 on the front wheel drive Buick Century and Olds Cutlass Ciera from 82-85.  Possibly the 4.1 V6 on the LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville in the early 80s had them also.  The 265 V8 in the LeSabre and Regal also had this carb.

I am not sure this carburetor was ever used on a V8 engine, but it certainly was on a lot of the bigger V6s.

The smaller V6s, like the 2.8, and the 4 cylinder cars got the 2 barrel Varajet instead of the Dualjet, which is an completely different design.

Before 1978, the 3.8 V6 and any 2 barrel V8s would have had the Rochester 2GV, I believe.  But almost all the V8s had Quadrajets.

Listmembers,

I don't know if this would really help get better mileage out of a 350 (or 
any other engine for that matter) but I have one Rochester carb that _looks_ 
like someone goofed on casting a Quadrajet and didn't open up the back of the 
carb.  In essence it will bolt on where a QJ is but only has the front two 
barrels, the rest is cast shut.

A co-worker mentioned this creature to me, and for curiosity's sake I had to 
have it.  It's somewhere in the garage, but can't remember where I put it.

Because the gasket material is totally different. Most secondary OEM Olds
gaskets, like a water pump gasket or a front timing cover gasket, are made
out of a heavy paper material. The Mr. Gasket intake gaskets are made from a
rubberized fiber composite, a completely different animal.

One of the problems with the aluminum Flowkooler pump loosening its bolts is
because it's aluminum bolted to a steel timing cover and cast iron block. If
everything else was aluminum, the bolt loosening wouldn't be as bad.

The differential thermal expansion between iron and aluminum is the culprit.
The aluminum expands more than the timing cover and block it's bolted to and
the steel bolts that hold it on. Everytime the engine heat cycles, the
aluminum actually crushed the gaskets just slightly more and loads the
torque on the bolts slightly more. Then on cool down, the pressure on the
gasket releases just slightly. After many times of this cycle, the bolts
become loose, and the gasket weeps and then leaks. The exact same thing
happens on an intake gasket with an aluminum intake manifold, but the
composite intake gasket is designed with some give and rebound to it. Even
so, intake manifold bolts need to be retorqued every once in awhile. I would
think using The Right Stuff gasket maker/sealer on an aluminum water pump
would be the best, as long as the impeller doesn't drag on the timing cover.
The standard water pump gasket can't be used with The Right Stuff. It's
incompatible.

The Dualjet was the only carb available on the Olds 260 V8. There was one
on the 267 SBC in our '81 M*libu wagon, too. It didn't get particularly
good mileage (best of 15 on the highway) but it was pretty well worn out,

Scott/List,

I'm familiar with the DualJet, and from what I can remember this might be an 
oddball version of it.

I have 4 "true" DualJets here: one on each 231 V-6 in my 1980 Starfires, one 
from a 1979 Starfire that was equipped with a 305 Brand C V-8, and one on a 
1981 Scottsdale pickup, also with a 305.

This critter is different in the fact that you could bolt this sucker onto a 
4-barrel manifold and it would fit perfectly, but it's only a 2-barrel.

By the way, it's been reported that the DualJets are excellent donors for an 
electric choke to retrofit an older QJ.  Every one I have has an electric 
choke.

I'm going to find this oddball carb and get a picture of it soon.

Ken Snyder

The same way, make a tool, then I replace it with a hex drive pipe plug.

C'mon, no on here has a freakin 1969 442 and can measure the snout for me?

I can pay!

One guy at ROP.com actually had useful input, part numbers even, but it 
depends on whether the enigne is "high performance"- rather vague.

And of course, at least one pinhead there has to post a reply with no useful 
information whatsoever. Richard's Affliction runs rampant there.

He'p me out, here!

Subject: 260 versus 468 - weight

Hi all,
is the 455 much havier than the 260? I wander if the front will plow much or
not in the 81CS 2dr when I install the big engine ( 1968 )?
