Steve, sure. You're welcome to join the fray. I'll PM you my contact information. Heck, since you're just off the Pike, you're welcome to give me a call and take a cruise over to OCNJ just for ****s and giggles as VNV says. He and I havent' hooked up on this next point but me and the wife will be down this weekend. She's newly discharged from the hospital (nothing serious but she is not at all comfortable). Our Saturday morning is shot but, since she ain't really going anywhere of note, VNV may be interested in coming over Saturday afternoon or, definitely in second place would be Sunday. I'll be leaving OCNJ in the early evening on Sunday.
As 67HEAVEN mentioned, THIS will be one for the books. Since I have absolutley no interest in establishing my own website since it requires work on my part, the details will be chornicled here on this website. We have very few rules in Kid's Manor.
One is that Happy Hour is closed from 4-5AM EVERY day. No exceptions.
First guy up off the floor in the morning has to make the Dunkin' Donuts run.
All hammers/mallets/sledges used in construction must be faced with rags or wood because I bought the poished version and marring is not tolerated. Yup, I also went for the bling. VNV once said my engine bay looked a bit "dark". :eyerole That'll change NOW.
A few others will be published soon.
VNV, I'm targetting doing the install 'downa shore. That, of course, presupposes that I can actually MAKE it to the shore without any more drama from the '65. I took it on a drive the other night, about a half an hour, and it behaved perfectly.
Back to Project Blow. I have many questions that I'll pose to Mike at superchargers4less. I assume that I can NOT run vacuum lines off the carb once it's in the pressurized enclosure because even though there will be a vacuum signal, is it the corect vacuum signal? Should I pull the vacuum directly off of the intake manifold? Does this mean I should go to a mechanical advance distributor? (good thing this ain't the big block right now). What about hood clearance? If there's a problem, I can go two routes.
First is to go to the Edelbrock Torquer II intake which is about as low as I have seen. It's a single plane but I believe I can live with it's performance characteristics. If that is not enough, then I will go to a different hood. One of the fellow CACr's had a really well done C2 high rise outlaw hood for sale. Not sure about that. If we really work on this in the fall, I'll have the winter layover and might scrounge a hood and graft a different style center section. I've pinged some sites that sell larger '67 stingers that can be grafted on, for example. As it is, I have a stock '67 bb hood on the car now and may JUST get away with it. It's the inside clearance right at the lowest point of the stinger that may interfere with the supply tube going into the carb housing that may be tight.
THEN, of course, is my value-added proposition of also, simultaneously, adding the Moroso electric water pump :eyerole . VNV says, what the hell, we'll do what you want. If not, then I have to buy a long wayer pump. I HATE aligning pulleys.
The alternator will go back on the passenger side, possible requiring the use of a conventional water pump.
LOTS of trips to Advance Auto and the ACE Hardware Stores on Route 9 in my future, for sure.
Stay tuned.
Carlisle is coming up you may find one already installed on a car if you look hard enough :W:Wand get some answers.
