Adding a 4 Barrel Carb...
When the power just isn't enough...then it's time to get rid of the anemic 2 Barrel Carb.  I first installed a Carter 500 cfm but it was not enough, so I switched to a 625 cfm and that did the trick.

Weiand  7503 Stealth Manifold

I installed a new Weiand Intake and Lokar Cables and decided to post some information about them here.  The installation went extremely well and was very easy to do.  The hardest part of the intake install was finding all the right fittings and parts, but the install was done in about three hours altogether.  The cables were very easy to do, I started at about 4:30 in the afternoon and had both the throttle and transmission kickdown cables installed in just about two hours.  That's pretty good, considering the fact that I have never seen these installed on a Mopar before.

I hope the information below helps you out, the manifold and cables were acquired through Summit Racing and I have listed the Summit part numbers below in case you are interested in ordering them for your car.  I have also listed the information for the various adapters and fittings I needed, which I bought at NAPA.  Please keep in mind that these are for a 65 Poly 318, The earlier Poly motors may have used different sensors than what I used.

I also used this opportunity to change belts, hoses and sensors.  Here is a list of the items I bought (some are a no brainer, but I'll still list them so that perhaps you won't forget the "simple" ones):

1. Allen Head Bolt Kit 6. Radiator Hoses 11. Temperature Sender 16. Manifold Gaskets
2. Coolant 7. Heater Hose 12. Sender Adapter 17. RTV Sealant
3. Thermostat 8. By-pass Hose 13. Oil Press Sender 18. Gasket Compound
4. Bypass Hose Fitting 9. Breather Hose 14. Carb Plug 19. Loctite (red)
5. Heater Hose Fitting 10. Vacuum Hose 15. Manifold Plug 20. Hose clamps

The Parts...

Weiand Intake WND-7503 Make sure you get Allen Head bolts with washers, the stock bolts will not fit properly.
Bypass Fitting 660-1475 The old fitting from the 2 barrel manifold wouldn't fit, this was necessary.
Heater Fitting C-25487 The old fitting from the 2 barrel manifold wouldn't fit, this was necessary.
Oil Sender OP6282 Good time to replace it, one of the "why not" expenses.
Temp Sender TS6178 Good time to replace it, one of the "why not" expenses.
Sender Adapter 3220 X 4 X 2 This is needed for the 65...the hole is too large for the temp sender.
Throttle Cable LOK-TC-1000-HT36 Two different lengths for the throttle cable are available, 24" & 36". (24 is long enough)
Kickdown Cable LOK-KD-2727HT This cable is specifically for the 727 Trans, but a 904 is also available.
Cable Bracket LOK-SRK-4000 Not absolutely necessary, but very much worth it and eases installation
Manifold Plug um.... There is a tapered, threaded hole inside the water outlet, you'll need a plug for this.

The Install...

7503.jpg (120353 bytes) Here it is...the only four barrel manifold I could find that was brand new, and this is pretty much how it comes...no fittings, bolts or gaskets.  Summit does have the gaskets, I don't have the number off hand though. boltcloseup.JPG (217641 bytes) You can see here the problem I had with the stock bolts.  They all went in okay except for this one, it was so close to the side that I couldn't get a socket on it and the bolt couldn't be tightened.  The Allen head bolts are perfect for this and look great! 
sensor.JPG (157331 bytes) Here you can see the adapter for the temperature sender.  I used Teflon tape on all fittings on the manifold vacboost.JPG (176165 bytes) Here you can see the Vacuum Hose for the Brake Booster.  Non-Power Brake cars will only have a vacuum hose for the inside controls, and it fits the new manifold, although in an odd place.
gaspedal.JPG (183210 bytes) Here's a look at the gas pedal and how the stock cable is connected.  I chose to remove the pedal as it was easier to swap cables that way. duct.JPG (147102 bytes) I removed the lower floor vent so that I could get to the bolts on the gas pedal and have some room to install it.
stockcable.JPG (100930 bytes) This is how the stock cable looks when removed.  There is a C-clip that holds it to the bracket, and a cotter pin that attaches the cable. cablemod.JPG (118190 bytes) I didn't take a picture of the cable before putting it in, but you can see here that I reversed the cone shaped nut  to attach it.  I used a standard nut on the inside, it allowed the pedal to rest lower, the cone nut is a bit long.
lokar1.JPG (181165 bytes) The Kick-Down Cable is pulled from the bottom of the carb linkage.  Make sure you don't get a "Mopar" Carburetor...it doesn't have the lower extension.  There is a bracket that mounts to the back of the trans and the cable loops around from behind. poly5.jpg (132139 bytes) All in all...it makes for a pretty decent looking motor (well, I did paint and detail a few items when I was putting this together!)
