Hello everyone out there nice enough to look at my post. As you might have already deduced, I am new to this forum. I do indeed own a 1979 light beige mirror top L-82, 3.36 posi with a stock Q-jet and a K&N, 1" long tubes with straight pipes and flows, 15" craigar's with fat BFG radials, a cam with I'm not quite sure how big of a lift, the extra cooling package, a viper alarm, a kenwood deck and 12 speakers right now. I've got some chrome under the hood already and I stuck a heat shield on the starter so the headers stop cooking it. I hope to get some pictures of it online soon. I still smell like fast orange because I've been creepin around underneath there tonight on my night off. Had to tear apart the console to fix the contact for the passenger side power window, put on a new header collector gasket on the left exhaust and checked the starter wiring because it wanted to give me trouble last night. Which, although unrelated, brings me to some questions...
I think my 4-barrel Q is capable of 650 cfm, but I don't know. I know basically nothing about carbs and would like for anyone to tell my anything they know about my setup and what my next one should be if I still want super reliability, maybe decent gas mileage (hah), and some balls out performance when opened up, and... oh yeah, I really think it would awesome if I put a teensy little shot of NOS, about 50 or 75, on the beast in case any ricey shlt wants to try and hang around with me.
With these things in mind or anything else, please write until you're tired and I promise I'll read every word. Glad I found you guys. Happy import eatin'.
