I'm using 255-50-16's Goodyear Eagle HP-ultra Plus's. Not I didn't recalibrate the speedo....these tires are 26in tall.

Thanks. I'm using 16X8 with 4 inch backspacing. The problem with wheel fitment is the Corvette's large calipers. These are American Racing Torque Thrust II's and they clear the calipers just fine....no spacers and no grinding. Some wheels, like the Torque Thrust D's do not clear the...

Yeah, its the shifter linkage. I have a new Hurst competition plus shifter and the reverse rod need some adjustment. I I think the threads on the rod were a little short. I hope that's all it was.

Well, the engine, drivetrain and front suspension are rebuilt. It was a very short trip into the garage, but under its own power for the first time in 2 months. I still suspect a problem with reverse so I didn't want to push things. Tranny was stuck in reverse preventing me from rotating the...

I think it's more like, "Imagine how much longer it would have taken if I weren't on sick leave." :D With all the problems I've had since the engine was in, I'm guessing it would have taken me at least another year to get to this point. Working as I have, on & off on some weekends as time...

I remember reading, in the 60's, car magazine drivers/testers would routinely remove the air filter and turn the lid upside down & reattach to achieve better 1/4 mile times..

Anyone recognize these valve covers? I know they're from a BB, but what year? Are they from a Corvette, Chevelle, Nova etc.? They have drippers inside and looks like the factory flash chrome. There are plug wire holder at the base of each cover. These holders have what appears to be a black...

I think you heard the solid lifters. To me, it's more like a clack-clack-clack. :D Music to my ears.

All stock of course! ;LOL Hey, it came from the factory that way. :eyerole http://home.comcast.net/~eddiengerry/BB_startup.mpg

"unable to locate source filter"????? :cry :cry

I'm a realist. :D I just built my dream engine. It ain't gonna get any better for me.

I tracked down the site with the bogus info and the drawing from which I was working. I don't remember how I happened upon or if someone referred me to the site for "distributor removal & installation. Anyway it's wrong. I am so Miffed! I shoulda stuck with the manual...

Holy crap! :SLAP :hb :hb I've been working off the wrong drawing which also happens to match how my SB is setup. I don't know where i got it. How bizarre is that. You're correct, my caps are ALL off by one. That's how my SB was setup when I bought it. I don't think I'll be able to...

Here's two pictures of L-88's, not mine. You be the judge. :gap

Once I get the fuel pump & fans fixed, I'll be able to let her run longer. The carb, distributor, rotor, cap and wires all came from my well tuned SB about a month ago. I examined all the plug wires yesterday and the coil wire again this morning. I couldn't find any problems. I started...

I replaced the carb gasket, and ran a new vacuum line to the canister. I pushed the distributor further back CCW. Can't go any more because the tach cable is hitting the firewall. I had to try to start it now to take advantage of my spotter who came home from school but has to go back soon for a...

Wish you luck. Hope you have better luck than I did. :upthumbs
