OK, here's what I got......It shows a "list 1850-1, and 0617 underneath it. Evidently it's not original for this car. Can someone tell me what I have cfm, etc......and also where I can find a rebuild kit for it. The previous owner never had the manual choke hooked up.....What should I do...

I'll write it down this evening and post it. I also would like to get the correct rebuild kit for this carb.

Hey guys, I finished most of the motor job on my 327/365hp. I just wanted to make sure I followed the procedure correctly for setting these cold. I followed it exactly, I'm sure the firing order(1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2) is correct, but I look in the AIM and they have the firing order (1,8,4,6,3,5,7,2)...

I have a question concerning the orginal carbs for this motor. I thought I had what appeard to be the original carb. It is a 4150 and I do mean identical, except if I'm not mistaken ALL these carbs that come with this motor had automatic chokes. Mine is identical to that carb except mine has a...

John...again thanks. Actually I think I'll just leave them the way they are.....like I said, they look great..I just wasn't sure if folks were painting them or what. Never-the-less, I bookmarked that site for future projects.

Well, I ordered the cam and lifters from O'Reilly's auto parts using the GM #'s you specified (LT-1 cam). It come to a total of $189. I plan on installing this weekend using John's procedure.......Man, I hope it works...not that I would ever doubt John's expertise, it's just I've never set solid...

I have cleaned these things up real good, but I'm looking for that new finish. Can someone give me the paint color, #, and brand recommended for these valve covers. Thanks

Thats great, I never tried them (haven't gotten that far yet) I just assumed. I'll just have to blast them and paint them black, due to the outer edge of the wheel showing. Thanks again John

While we're on this subject. I've got some old vette rallies, like was used on the 67 currently on my 65. I've got a set of new hubs which were correct for my car. My question is.....I'm assumming these hubs won't fit on these rallies, therefore I need to find a set of original wheels for my...

Sorry, nevermind....had to read the procedure one more time......I can set all the intakes at TDC, but I need to set the exhaust at 90 BTDC.....Thanks again.

OK John, so for example, to start with, I set the #1 TDC and set the #8 exhaust at .026 and the #2 intake at .020. and continue at 90 deg turns.....? Or start at 90 deg before #1 TDC? Please be patient with me, for this is my first stab at setting these cold.

Excellent folks, Thats exactly the kind of answers I've been wanting to hear. I 'll go that route with the LT-1 cam. I'm thouroghly impressed with this group and the great responses I've been getting. I hope ya'll are patient with me. This is my first corvette restore (frame off) and I'm sure...

Hey folks, I've sort of touched on this subject before, but I've just finished the frame and suspension and starting on the engine. As I've stated before, I'm converting it back to original with the solid lifters and 30-30 cam. My question is, where do you guys suggest I purchase those two items...

Thanks John, And yes, I did find it in the ASM, thanks to your help.

Thanks John, I wasn't sure if it was or not. Also if thats the case where does the second hose from the heater core connect to....I know this is simple, but I've never dealt with a pump with a bypass system. Thanks again for the help

This is going to sound stupid but I'm going to ask anyway. I'm rebuiding the motor on my car which is a NOS matching motor, (L76 no air). What is the purpose of using a water pump with a bypass vs using one without and also what is the routing of the hoses using the bypass water pump? Is this...

Must be conflicting information provided in the AIM. I always assumed it was on the Drivers side until I reviewed the Diagram......Thanks a bunch for the info.

I have a question about the location of these Volt. Reg's. I was reviewing the wiring Diagram for the engine in my AIM lastnight for an upcoming new wiring harness when I seen on the diagram a picture of the Reg was on the same side as the battery (which I assume means on the fender well on that...

Folks, I'm am now a true believer in this forum. That was my first post, and let me tell ya, I didn't think I'd get an answer to that question. I knew for sure there was no other way to do this and you guys have proven me wrong. I haven't tried it yet, but I will be in the next couple of weeks...

Hello, I'm new here as well. I too recieved my 65 Conv partially disassembled. I have most all the originally parts, but I too am awaiting a shipment from C corvettes. I'm sure I'll be asking alot of questions.....just like the one I posted yesterday about the cam and lifters......anyway, thanks...
