Well this will be #1 for the other side. I went thru about 3 Q-Jet and still couldn't get mine to run the way I wanted. Finnally I put on a 650 Spread-bore Holley; It's be on there for 2 years now and Love it. I've got tire smoking performance, and 17+MPG on the Hiway. Holley is easy to tune...

They are not Eckler's or anyone else that I know of. I had a Daytona Wide Body and have seen almost every sold flare kits. This appear to be hand made and VERY WELL DONE. I LIKE IT. Gary

Just a thought since money is always an issue for most of us. 80-86 Corvette/Camero 305 heads with the 184 /150 valves and small cambers can work. You still need to port the intake & exhuast. They have 58cc cambers and once ported they flow better than the stock 350 heads. Don't mistake the...

I have the heads. A friend gave them to me thinking they were 172s. I checked the intakes and they are 184s and the valves have the double springs. I was just finshing a set of 350 194 head. Porting with all new valves; just needed to get all the seat & valve ground to match. So, I was thinking...

Well the ports don't look to bad; and a little porting should help the flow. Maybe? Most other 305s used 1.72 intake valve and they didn't flow that well. So, what make them flow so poorly; besides the small intake size? Good points.

Hi everyone; Here is my Question: The 78 350 is one of the lowest compression engines ever in a Corvette. The HP rating was only 5 hp over the 80 305. Now I have had an 80 305 Vette and like it very much. It could use a little more torque. But back to the question, Using the 305 small chamber...

That's correct it's the old model; # on the choke horn are, 80555 then under that is D579. The primary metering plate has 7445 stamped on it. The intake is a Weiand Action Plus tht I picked up with a box of other SB parts at a sale. Only paid $75 for a whole box full of stuff; Dist. carbs and...

I use an Action + intake; 14 in. X 3 in. air cleaner; #60 main jets. There are other things I've done with the exhuast and timing. The Holley and intake made the big difference in the drivablity - performace - fuel mileage. Turning 3500 rpm's and 70 mph had to do something. :W Guess I should...

After 3 Q-jet on my "78 I went to that Holley. I must say I a bit old school to begin with. BUT I'll NEVER GO BACK TO THE Q-jet. The Holley runs and preforms great. After a little tuning I'm getting 18 mpg hiway. This on a 4-speed & 4.10 rear gears. I LOVE MY HOLLEY. :beer Gary SAVE the WAVE

I believe those are a 5/16th standard threat. (coarse) Gary

When I just got tried of working on mine I decided to just throw a paint job on it and drive it. That was two years ago. I had Maaco paint it; it cost under $500 and looks good to this day. If you are not looking for show quaility but can't stand the primer any longer it a good way to go. Good...

Having the manuals is always a good thing, but they don't tell all. So ask all the question you like.:beer As for myself, as well as most people here, I'am always willing to help if I can. Ask away and become a friend here. Gary SAVE the WAVE

I'm using a Holley 650 spreadbore; Easy to tune preforms great. I went to the Holley after trying 3 different Q-jets if no improvements :W. I LOVE my Holley :thumb. Gary SAVE the WAVE

That would be an Oil pressure sending unit. GARY

I had the same noise in the rear end on my '78. Spends around $700 replacing the rear spindle bearing and half shaft U-joint. The noise was still there; :mad Found a broken clip on one of the rear beauty rings. Replaced the beauty ring NOISE GONE. :bash SAVE yourself some Dollars-- REMOVE...

Disregrat my last message I just saw the SOLD. Gary

Hi C3R do you still have the headers? I have a guy down here that is looking for headers for his 75'. Gary

Yes it is a VERY GOOD replacement for the Qjet. I'm running one on my 78 and it is great. Much easier to tune than the Qjet. I'm sold on the Holley. I can smoke the tires when I want and the tach will hit 6500 with ez. :beer Gary SAVE the WAVE

You can check with JEGS or Summit Racing. Both have all kinds of valve covers to choose from. Also WELCOME to CAC. Gary SAVE the WAVE
