Lead and low lead was up to the 80s. Unleaded came around in 75 for cat converter vehicles.

I remember leaded and unleaded pumps up to he early 80s. Its strange they still call it unleaded, since its been so long since it was by itself.

You guys are hilarious!!! I am a retired ASE master tech and High School Auto Shop teacher and I just love this backyard engineering stuff. By the way, in 1972 I put a Holley 4bbl carb on a 318 2bbl manifold, just like you guys did, on friends 1967 Satellite. he picked up1.5 sec in the quarter. Ran a bit rich, but he was really happy with it.

Just real quick: you'll always see "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY" in large, capital letters on the speedometer-- and, if still there, on a sticker on the back side the gas filler door, or on the gas filler cap-- on any car that doesn't run leaded fuel. I'm 47 and my mom used to have a '73 Satellite with a 318. It didn't have that warning on the speedometer, and you didn't see that warning until '75-'76 model cars or so. Really great stuff, guys.

[@SadPuppySoup]

Back in '82 when I was 16 I had a 72 duster 318 2bbl that I put a holley 750 on the 2bbl manifold just like you did here. Everyone said it wouldn't run right but I jumped from a mid 14 sec 1/4 to a low 13 sec 1/4 all stock motor and even cruised great.

[@garyschiffli1043]

I had an 78 ElCamino with a 305 an a two barrel carb. Wanted a four barrel but didn’t want to go through the process of changing the intake manifold,so after a six pack and rummaging through a parts box I found a 4/2 adapter an had an idea. Did exactly what y’all did,flipped it dropped a quad junk four on got it set up pretty nice the linkage was kinda a problem but after another six pack I figured it out. Drove it for years an it ran good, you just had to remember not to try an punch it off a start get on it slowly or it would bog an stall. Really enjoy the videos brings back memories of some of the crazy fixes I’ve done an have learned quite allot too. Keep them coming.

At 3:08 looks like a voltage regulator. They used to mount them on a fender or the firewall because back when everyone knew that unless you short or damage the winding's on an alternator nothing ever goes wrong with the charging system but voltage regulator.

[@joeblow2063]

Been there, done that. Put the 4bbl on a 2bbl intake the same way when I was young and broke. It'll slobber really bad if you open the fours. Also, the vacuum signal is so terrible, and with the airflow going around essentially a corner, some of the fuel will drop out in the plenum. It'll get ya' home... As a matter of fact, I'm driving a similar setup for work right now - but on an International 478 in a '74 Loadstar 1800 tandem with a 5x4 twin stick hauling potatoes.

[@shadetreejoe3986]

I'm glad to see you finally have it running. FWIW, I had a 4 to 2 adapter on my 1978 LA block Power Wagon before I could afford a four barrel manifold. I bought the Carter AFB and an adapter one payday and the intake manifold and gaskets a few months later. It worked and drove okay, but obviously no great. This was back in the 1980s, so no video and no KZbin. The starter thing is just bizarre. I can't explain it unless the new style starters can't handle the torque needed to turn over the LA series engine. The old Chrysler starters were very noisy, possibly gear reduction units. Watch any old TV program from the 1960s to the 1980s that has the characters starting a Chrysler product and there is that telltale starter whine that was uniquely Chrysler. My Power Wagon had that until I went to put headers on and the stock starter would not fit. I found a starter from a 1983 Ram 150 fit, but didn't have the whine. From that point on, it started like a GM, nice and quiet.
