    Herminator, I also have a K&N filter with a K&N filter for the lid. You might be able to use a Performer rpm, just not the air gap. On elderbrocks web site they give the mesurements for all their manifolds which really is a great help.

    I have an Elderbrock rpm air gap on my '68, but it has a L-88 hood and with the air cleaner installed it just fits, slightly touching the hood.

    Check for corrosion on the turn signal cancelation switch. My '68 had almost identical problems and thats what I traced it to. Ed

    Thanks JohnZ, I didn't think that there could be a different technique but I thought I had better ask. Caps off for now. ;LOL

    Modifications

    SINCE MY VETTE IS NOT NUMBERS MATCHING, I GUESS ITS EASIER TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS. I MODIFY ANYTHING TO DO WITH PERFORMANCE. ENGINE, DRIVETRAIN, SUSPENSION, BRAKES, TIRES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INTO CUSTOMIZING SO I WOULDN'T TOUCH THE BODY. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS.

    SOLIDS VS. SOLID ROLLER SETTINGS

    I'M LOOKING FOR A CLARIFICATION IF ONE IS NEEDED. I WAS JUST READING AN ARTICLE IN ONE OF MY CAR MAGAZINES AND THE COMMENT WAS MADE THAT YOU HAVE TO USE A DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE TO SET THE ROCKERS ON A SOLID ROLLER CAM THAN ON A SOLID LIFTER CAM. OF COURSE THEY NEVER SAID WHY OR HOW. IF ANYONE...

    BBC angle plug heads

    I ASSUME THAT YOUR 454 IS IN YOUR '69. I HAVE A 68 454 WITH HOOKER SIDEPIPES AND THEY FIT PERFECT. I DO BELIEVE THE ANGLE PLUG IS REFFERING TO A SMALL BLOCK. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A BIG BLOCK WITH ANGLED PLUGS. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT MUFFLERS AVAILABLE FOR THESE SIDE PIPES THAT YOU NEED TO BE...

    Fouling out plugs

    CAN YOU TELL IF THE PLUGS ARE FOULING OUT WHEN YOUR CRUISING OR IDLING? IF IT'S IDLING AND FOULING THE PLUGS YOU MAY HAVE TO LEAN DOWN THE IDLE CIRCUIT AS THE JETS DO NOT AFFECT THIS CIRCUIT. I HAVE A BIG BLOCK THAT WOULD FOUL OUT NUMBER 3 COMPLETELY WHILE THE OTHER 7 RAN EXTREMELY RICH. I...

    Hood Clearance Info (Edelbrock Performer RPM)

    I have a '68 Big Block with a performer rpm air gap, a 750 Demon, 3" K&N filter, under a L-88 hood. It fits but it rubs. Have been thinking about doing the body work and raising the L-88 portion of the hood for more clearance. Can't even put a spacer or nitrous plate under the carb. Has anyone...

    So Much Power So Little Traction

    Sounds Like Everybody Agrees With Softer Springs, Adjustable Camber Bars, And No Sway Bar. The Softer Springs Are Really Good News Since Right Now My Car Rides Like A Log Wagon With That Stiff Spring. Hey Sg4206, What Rear Snubers Are You Refering To? Are You Talking About The Rubber Bumper On...

    So Much Power So Little Traction

    Akray4play, How Do You Get Traction In Alaska, Doesn't It Snow There? Hey, Thanks For The Advice. I Have A 3000 Stall Converter But With All The Torque It Flashs To About 3500 To 4000. My Max Torque Is At 4000. I'll Try The Camber Rods. I Switched From A Softer Rear Spring To The Stiffest I...

    Hooker Sidepipes Installed...but

    Lynn, My Hookers Are Mounted To The Frame Like Yours And I Did Have To Trim The Rocker Panels. My Side Pipes Are Close Enough To The Rockers Where I Can Barely Get A Rag And My Fingers In To Clean Them. I Think It Looks Fine. Personally I Would Worry About The Heat If They Were Any Closer.
