Herminator, I also have a K&N filter with a K&N filter for the lid. You might be able to use a Performer rpm, just not the air gap. On elderbrocks web site they give the mesurements for all their manifolds which really is a great help.

I have an Elderbrock rpm air gap on my '68, but it has a L-88 hood and with the air cleaner installed it just fits, slightly touching the hood.

Check for corrosion on the turn signal cancelation switch. My '68 had almost identical problems and thats what I traced it to. Ed

Thanks JohnZ, I didn't think that there could be a different technique but I thought I had better ask. Caps off for now. ;LOL

SINCE MY VETTE IS NOT NUMBERS MATCHING, I GUESS ITS EASIER TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS. I MODIFY ANYTHING TO DO WITH PERFORMANCE. ENGINE, DRIVETRAIN, SUSPENSION, BRAKES, TIRES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INTO CUSTOMIZING SO I WOULDN'T TOUCH THE BODY. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS.

I'M LOOKING FOR A CLARIFICATION IF ONE IS NEEDED. I WAS JUST READING AN ARTICLE IN ONE OF MY CAR MAGAZINES AND THE COMMENT WAS MADE THAT YOU HAVE TO USE A DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE TO SET THE ROCKERS ON A SOLID ROLLER CAM THAN ON A SOLID LIFTER CAM. OF COURSE THEY NEVER SAID WHY OR HOW. IF ANYONE...

4:11 REAREND DID THIS COME OUT OF A CAR THAT YOU HAVE? IF NOT DID YOU WITNESS IT OPERATING IN ANOTHER CAR AND HOW DID IT FUNCTION? IE. QUIET OPERATION, POSITRACTION WORKING, NOISY GEARS, ETC. HOW MUCH TO SHIP TO SYLVANIA OHIO? HOW FAR ARE YOU FROM US FOR PICKUP? THANKS ED

I ASSUME THAT YOUR 454 IS IN YOUR '69. I HAVE A 68 454 WITH HOOKER SIDEPIPES AND THEY FIT PERFECT. I DO BELIEVE THE ANGLE PLUG IS REFFERING TO A SMALL BLOCK. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A BIG BLOCK WITH ANGLED PLUGS. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT MUFFLERS AVAILABLE FOR THESE SIDE PIPES THAT YOU NEED TO BE...

CAN YOU TELL IF THE PLUGS ARE FOULING OUT WHEN YOUR CRUISING OR IDLING? IF IT'S IDLING AND FOULING THE PLUGS YOU MAY HAVE TO LEAN DOWN THE IDLE CIRCUIT AS THE JETS DO NOT AFFECT THIS CIRCUIT. I HAVE A BIG BLOCK THAT WOULD FOUL OUT NUMBER 3 COMPLETELY WHILE THE OTHER 7 RAN EXTREMELY RICH. I...

I DROVE PAST MICHIGAN CORVETTES ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT WAS IN THE EVENING BUT IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS STILL IN BUSINESS.

ON MY '68 BB I SLIP THE HEADERS IN FROM BELOW. WORKS GREAT. NO BIG DEAL.

I JUST SAW ONE! I THINK IT WAS IN THE NEW YEAR ONE CATALOG FOR VETTES.

I have a '68 Big Block with a performer rpm air gap, a 750 Demon, 3" K&N filter, under a L-88 hood. It fits but it rubs. Have been thinking about doing the body work and raising the L-88 portion of the hood for more clearance. Can't even put a spacer or nitrous plate under the carb. Has anyone...
