Hey guys, thanks for all of the feedback. JHL manys thanks for the article. I never get enough info. I am now getting all of my timing in at 2400 rpm. I had to advance it quite abit from my initial 10 degrees. I did not even bother checking it at idle because the car starts, runs, and shuts down...

Hey Bob and TJay, that is what always confused me is the 50 to 52 degree reading I would get with the vaccum hooked up. I have been told to start at 36 degrees total and increase until detonation then back off 2 degrees. Thanks again for the info

Hey guys, this is a question that I can never seem to get a straight answer for. When checking for total vaccum advance timing I know I want to shoot for 36 degrees and go up from there until I slow down or detonation occurs. The question is do I check my total timing with the vaccum line hooked...

Hey Dracor, it's Chris's Carb Shop, Dayton Ohio. 937-890-0970. He will tell you he doesn't rebuild them he restores them. Everthing is gone through, and taken back to original specs so make sure of your GM numbers. The one I got was from a '79 L82. He is also willing to trade since he deals with...

What Carb? Hey Dracor, I just recently purchased a Q-Jet completely restored to original specs for my '74 shark. I have tried many different setups serching for the one that is just right. Hopefully this will do the trick. I have been listening to the members here praising the Quad that is set...

Hey Unsafe, you are going to love your 383! The increase in low end torque is worth all of the time, money and trouble. The next mech addition to my '74 is going to be the Hooker sidepipes. Did they fit ok? How many muffler options are there? Thanks Bud

More Horsepower Hey Tepot, yours is the question most people who buy the sharks ask. The problem is that the stock C3's look so good but perform so poorly. Always remember and never forget "HORSEPOWER AIN'T CHEAP". If you change your distributor to a HEI unit you will lose your mechanical tach...

Hey leeboy, I had a local shop build my setup. 2.5" into series 40 flowmasters combined with the lope of the comp cams 292 makes heads turn everywhere. I love pulling into my golf club and setting off all of the alarms that are set too sensitive. peace Bud

Hey Whiplash, thanks for the photos. That is exactly what I want to do. I'm sure I be trying to get ahold of you in about a month. That's a great color. My first new car was a '70 Camaro that was close to that color. peace Bud

Hey Whiplash, How I could ever get 5 of my buddies together at the same time is beyond me. It will have to be a mech. hoist of some type. Tools I have or can get. I know from past experience that support from you guys will always be there. It's that patience and organization I'll have to work...

Hey Tony and Mike, thanks for the replies. Does anyone know the part number for the intake I need. I have an intake GM#14057053 It was off of a 305 I rebuilt years ago. Bud

Hey George and Mike, thanks for the replies. I was hoping this was possible. I have already rebuilt the engine and trans. and now want to install new body mounts and check the frame. I'm still looking for a manual or video about this. I'm sure if I do a search I will find everything I need to...

Hey guys, I have to opportunity to buy a rebuild Quadrajet from a '79 L82. I have read many times in this forum about the all around great performance of a properly tuned Q-jet. My questions are; what is the cfm of this unit? For some reason somewhere in the high 700s' sticks in my mind. Also...

Hey guys, I want to pull the body off of my '74 coupe without pulling the engine or trans. Is this possible? Are there any manuals or videos you guys would recommend? Thanks peace Bud

Flooding Carb #4 Hey Mad, well you have ruled out the wires and probably the plugs, that's a good thing. Now let's go back to the carb. Did you change the filter? I know that you have taken the float needles out but have you pulled the bowls to make sure there is no dirt in them that could be...

Flooding carb #3 Hey Mad, This stuff will drive you mad. Don't change the plug wires without checking the resistence first. If you don't have a digital multi meter go to Radio Shack and pick up an inexpensive one. You will be able to use this tool for many projects plus if your wires are ok you...

Flooding Reply #2 Hey Mad, When you pulled your plugs were the ends carboned? If not they probably weren't fouled. I went through this same thing once and I found out that my fuel pressure gauge was faulty. It read 6 lb. when it really was producing 9 to 11 lbs. resulting in the blow through...

Hey 69, is this a mechanical or vacuum secondary carb?

Flooding Problems Hey Madvette, your carb needs 7psi of fuel pressure. This can drop off abit at wot. Make sure your float level needle does not have debris in it holding it open. Adjust your float level to where they are level with the opening. There is a fine line with this adjustment. If...
