My secondaries have always had a problem with WOT from a dead stop or a slow roll. The car is stock except for no cat and little stuff to make the stock air cleaner housing a little more free flowing. It seems like it leans out at higher RPM's at WOT. Goes thru the gears good at a little more than half throttle, but it likes to buck at WOT. I have DD rods and an O hanger? Should I change these out for richer ones or do they sound about right for a mostly stock 305? What do most people use?

 

Nobody?

 

"Most" people use DR rods on a B hanger.

Worked fine for me when my LG4 was mostly stock, and works fine now that it mostly isn't.

You may see improvement just by going to a lower letter hanger.

 

Thanks five7kid!!! I'll see if I can locate some.

 

Let me know where you find them. I checked summit and they only have the dr rod and not the b hanger.

 

I was going to check the local junkyards first. There is a high performance speed shop near me, if they can't get 'em then they probably know where to find 'em. I will let ya know if I locate some.

whoops I got it the other way around. summit sells the b hanger but not the dr rods. I cant find the dr rods anywhere.

 

Yes, the DR rods are hard to find. Talk to Damon on this board by PMing him. He knows how to find almost everything to do with QJets.

If you can't get the DRs then go for one of the other closely related ones. There is a chart in the Tech Articles on it. AY rods are good, too, at least they work well for me and are kissing cousins to the DRs.

 

Edelbrock puts DR rods in their new Performer q-jets (that's where I got mine). You'd think they'd sell DR rods loose, too, but they aren't listed on their website. CK's are pretty close, too.

The "B" hanger is Edelbrock p/n 1960, or Summit p/n EDL-1960. $2.99 at summitracing.com. CK rods are EDL-1952, AY = EDL-1953 ($7.69).
