1965 Plymouth Barracuda - TorqueFlite A-904 Performance Transmission Rebuild!! (In-depth)
After having this 1965 Plymouth Barracuda around for 20 years, hours upon countless of hours spent wrenching, rebuilding, and improving.. She's finally has come to a state in time where she's fully reliable, roadworthy, with the power of a 5.9L Mopar small block Magnum V8 under the hood, and sending that raw power through a fully built/rebuilt Chrysler A-904 TorqueFlite Transmission.
This video shows the whole process of rebuilding another Chrysler A-904 TorqueFlite Transmission for this Barracuda, and it is by far, the best shifting transmission I've ever built to date.
She's definitely not the fastest Mopar in the fleet, and doesn't need to be.. But rather, a great cruiser with some get'up n go when you want it. There's so many memories that have been made with this special Mopar, and now there will be more made on the road.. Here's to another long round of years to come!!

      273 manifold driver's side still, recently swapped over to a power steering column that has a shorter steering shaft, knocked the pin out, welded on a universal joint coupler & re-pined for extra. Cut the column tube back about 3.5". Going to later shim the driver's motor mount with 3 thick washers, and barely sneak a Magnum manifold in place. Surprisingly still makes a ton of power today the way it is with an LA & Magnum exhaust manifold.

      @@glenfenderman They were glass pack mufflers, usually pretty cheap to get, at least 8 years ago.. IMO looking back it sounded like a dog taking a s*** 😆. I've built much better systems over the last couple of years on my other A bodies. You can get 2.5" exhaust kits from eBay between $200-$300. I welded mine completely on a '73 Duster & Scamp and have been happy ever since, using magna flow/flow master mufflers on them and also have remote electric exhaust cutouts. So when I want to be loud and sound good, it's a simple press of a button on a key fob, and then a nice crisp exhaust tone coming out the mufflers when the cutouts are closed, it's pretty easy but takes time.

Interestingly enough when I swapped to a holley I had lying around that bog was completely gone even with the plugged cat, Im not sure how the exhaust plays into how each carb works but breathing in is just as important as breathing out.

    At 17:10 in the video you mention moving the pump location to the lowest hole to "slow down the pump shot" and yet you have an "Edelbog" issue due to a lean spike at WOT. I don't think you want slower, so have you considered instead moving the AC pump location to the middle or top location (to speed up the shot) and possibly going back to a smaller nozzle orifice size if this results in a bog (too rich?)? Also it is good to make sure your step up spring is correct to transition to Accel from Cruise immediately to ensure that the primary needle is helping as soon as possible in WOT. This is the direction I went after testing all possible pump locations with all possible nozzles sizes while watching the O2 AFR graph. I have a different setup, but what I saw on the graph was a lean spike in the first 1/2 second of WOT after a throttle stomp, so I wanted more fuel faster, not slower. I went with the stock pump nozzle (28) on the top hole with the silver step up spring (the correct spring depends on your specific engine vacuum). Also like you I have the Thompson PowerBlast Plate installed with secondary clusters with the smaller emulsion tube removed.

    • @gwmax11
      @gwmax11 10 місяців тому

      All good brother, my backfires sometimes happen because I am using an HEI Ignition module that's tied into the ballast resistor wire harness as an ignition source. There's a slight voltage loss there that's enough to make it so where it will never fire up normally until I let off the key, sometimes because of this it'll gently backfire, or fire right on up, attempted to fix this with a 12v relay with no luck, but it will fire up normally if the module is directly hot wired to the battery, so timing is all set right where it needs to be. I've ran a couple different used Holley carbs shortly that had drivability issues on this drivetrain configuration, but they both worked fine upon flooring it with 0 bog issues, the current AVS2 carbs I own now are on this Scamp and my '81 Z28 Camaro with a vortec headed 350, the bog is much worse on the 350, so it's been a challenge smoothing it out but never fully finding the cure.. The blast plate didn't make much of a difference if at all to be honest, but it was worth a shot!

    • @BPattB

      @@gwmax11 1 issues I did have with the AVS2 was I developed a hole on one of the primary boosters. Car ran great and all of a sudden it had a bit of a bog. Long story short I ended up taking the carb apart to clean it and check everything. I sprayed carb cleaner with the little red hose in the tubs on the bottom. When the cleaner should have come out of the annular holes it shot out of a hole on the side. There was a pin hole right on the casting line. So it was dumping more fuel then it should,,, like a lot lol. If your carb is still apart it may be worth checking. Edelbrock sent me new boosters as soon as I got ahold of them. I still have the original boosters. I JB welded the pin hole. I haven't checked them in the car they just sit on my bench.

    Sorry all who's watching this, this isn't the most best production made video I've made in a while, threw it all together on my phone at 3am and on the verge of falling asleep.. The CC-close captions do a pretty good job if you can't hear what I'm saying at points where I accidentally had my hand covering the mic on the phone, plan on making better future videos soon and maybe finally making something out of this channel, not too crazy. Keynotes I will say for playing around with these AVS2 carbs, right out of the box your float levels will be set wrong, and they have to be corrected. There's plenty of vids on the tube where you can figure out how to set them properly, and it's a key factor in performance and drivability in these carbs, as well as having the correct fuel pressure setup, which is around 4.5 to 5 max from what I've been experiencing. Plus, having correct ignition timing is very important. Get yourself a low psi turn dial that comes with 3/8 fittings, use liquid teflon tape on the threads to seal n' setup completely after 24 hrs, also have a fuel pressure gauge after that so you can see where your pressures are at. Most of those low psi electric fuel pumps out there have built in internal regulators, which can be super convenient, but also sometimes work against ya when it comes to setting fuel pressures. Take your time, take pictures of your configurations, take detailed notes on what you do each time you make an adjustment, over time you can get these carbs to work much, much better vs out of the box. Every application is different, gear ratios, engine displacements, flow rates, vehicle weights, etc, nothing is the same car to car so you have to tune to what you have. Some people eat more than others, and some people don't. Some people spend more time on the toilet after eating betos every day, and others may tailor towards swapping a holley on, everything's different.

    @gergatron7000 10 місяців тому

    I wrestled with a Street Demon for quite a while (the modern version of the ThermoQuad) and the biggest issue, apart from the lack of ideal jets and rods, was the accelerator pump. It was very much hit-and miss, where you'd get it working ok in the driveway, take it out and the bog often came back. Pulled over, and could see that there was no fuel coming out of the squirters. I put that down to a weak pump cup seal, so i wedged an o-ring inside it to try and help it seal in the bore. That plus a stronger spring on the back of the piston helped to fix it.... mostly but never completely. I went with a spreadbore 650 Holley pumper and have never looked back.
