If you want this to work right you will have to get a standard HEI distributor with vacuum advance. That coupled with your new intake and carb...the computer will be functionless. You will have a check engine light glowing until you yank the bulb, and you will have a mess of excess wires that...

It looks like an angry bull just before the bull fight starts. Now, you just need a pic of it tossing dirt and gravel off the back tires up in the air with the purge, then a fellow holding a FORD flag in front of it like a bull fighter...and the picture will be complete.

Is there any chance you have loose bolts (the two huge ones) that go through the torque arm and into the front of the diff? I also assume your rear diff mount bushings are shot, allowing that to move and twist. That would make a bump noise too.

Chevy, I rarely start something and don't finish it.., but as of now, this project is unfinished. I am sure you read all about it at the lt1 intake website. That fellow is pretty friendly, and pretty good about writing back to you with questions. After looking it over, my best guess is to...

I just got back from a little road trip with the 69. It is the first time we have just taken the car to do a "vacation" sort of thing,...although A69Vette did talk us into going to a really cool cruise in at a place called Dade City, Florida. Anyway...Ipushed right at 20 mpg on the way down...

I fought some crazy hard start problems on my 85. It would only start and run decent if I restarted it within minutes of shut down. Otherwise, it struggled. Come to find out, the fuel pump check valve had failed It would put out decent pressure, but as soon as you turned the car off, all the...

Just did my 85 (my right arm was in a sling, so I had a 20 year old guy over with no Corvette experience doing what I told him to do). It was a success. We pulled the upper pad, the right fuse cover housing, the lower knee bolster, and the CORVETTE punch pad off, as well as the hush panel that...

Now is the time...without question, that you determine exactly what trans you are running and make the needed mods to the X member...etc. It is SO much more difficult to do in the car as an afterthought....as I did. Looks great though!

I have a black one for a tilt/tele as well.

Edmond, 74 is an EXCELLENT year to own. It is the last year for the big block, and the last you that you will find next to no emissions equipment. If it is an early 74, there will be no cats to deal with, etc. The 74 is also a one of a kind body style. The front and rear bumper are unique...

So this is not an entire front clip, just the outer/lower skins?

The TPS is non adjustable on this year model.

The intake on this engine does not have the oil fill tube. Here is a full shot of the engine. I wonder how I should hook this up? I guess I can always plug it and run a standard PCV???? As you can see, it only has MOROSO breather caps on each valve cover.

Here is the pic.

C5d, we must have been posting at the near exact same moment.

Brian.... You da man!!!!!!!!! I figured as much, but up until now I had only noticed the 327 with the oil fill on the intake. I had never noticed the vent on the back of the block as well. This one is just a 90 degree street elbow kind of vent tube pointing at the driver side of the engine...

I am posting this here as the C1/2 guys are more likely to know the answer. I am starting to go through the 23 T-bucket. We are going to convert the points to an electronic ignition. I pulled the distributor and noted that this block is very strange. It has some sort of an extra bit of...

You can pull a vacuum on it and see if it holds.

When you changed the tb, did you spill any coolant from the bypass onto the opti spark? Sounds like the first signs of an opti failure due to corrosion.
