I have an unknown set of after market headers and a Offy 4bbl intake and had to do a little bit of filing on the intake flange to get em to match...
Great pics, thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I was very surprised and loved it! Thank you for a kick ass showing honoring a much loved crew of builders. Car turned out great! Keep it up Jesse.
Yep learned my lesson!!!!! Researching and reading and asking allot of questions this time.
Checked for shavings and wear and looks good. It may help that all the gaskets on the bottom need to be replaced, it's gets new oil added...
Thanks Jim, I know that's the thing to do. Unfortunately it's my daily ride to work to the 283 idea may be what I do, looking at used motors now....
Yeah, good point! So dumb question, do I need to replace the lifters with the cam as a set or can I do just the cam?
I had previously posted questions about possible bad distributor and having timing issues on my Chevy 292. Well I found the problem. Exhaust...
I caught the show tonight, Discovery has a new channel called Velocity, mainly gearhead channel, 670 on Comcast in Houston. Really great story on...
Subscribed! Looks like the start to another great build. Sorry to hear about the wife.
Dang photobucket!!
Great pics of some really nice rides, thank you for sharing!
I had a 94 350 that did the same thing, it had the factory electrical sending unit and swapping gauges repeated the results. I put a mechanical...
Neat ride, congrats!
Awesome find!!
Like 2ton, with 292? I am thinking grain truck.
Went to tour the Blue Bell Creamery today so hopefully tomorrow I will have time to pull the cap and look at the numbers. I have note messed...
Just went out for test drive, definitely heading in the right direction with the current settings. A normal driver would never hear it ping,...
I bumped the base mechanical time up to 18˚, now giving me total timing at 3000 rpm, 32˚. She's not all in until 4000 rpm. I'm thinking...
I just found this as I am working out pinging issues. Thank you for taking the time to type it all up!! I understand now, as well as understanding...
Ok at 3000 rpm with vacuum unhooked from the distributor and capped I am sitting at 28 deg. So I can advance my mechanical more to get that dialed...
Cool heading out the door to check that now. I was thinking about an adjustable vac canister. Found a good article on HEI tuning :...
What lead me to check all of this is the fact she idles great, slow acceleration no problems at all, ANY kind of quick acceleration (with a load)...
I am thinking it's time for a new distributor, but wanted to double check my thinking. What I have is 292 Chevy (65) just got done putting on a...
I have the 500 Edelbrock and Offy bolted on and love it. Wow it's like a different motor. The 4 bbl really made her come to life. Thanks to all...
After some head scratching I am thinking of hooking the cable to the pivot arm where the linkage rod goes using a barrel fastener. Then I would...
That's a really nice Nova and thank you for the pics. That helps. I have the bell crank kit on the way, although they have it arriving Monday and...
I looked at the classifieds and only found one 500, looked kinda rough. Just ordered a new one with free air cleaner from Summit. Also ordered the...
What did you come up with for your linkage? Maybe pics if you have any? Thanks.
Thanks for the replies. Mr. Langdon over at Stovebolt recommended 500 cfm range Holley 390 or Edelbrock. I think I might save myself allot of...
