Re: Daverods project 66
 

i wish i knew more about it that looks like a pretty big carb for a 292

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave I wonder if anybody has ever done a dyno test on a 4 barrel VS.two or three deuces for flow and horsepower? It makes sense that three carbs would flow fuel better to the end cylinders.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Bubba
I'm sure they have...reference Leo Santucci's Chevrolet Inline Six Power Manual. Lots of good info in there.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave,
I can't find a pic her at home, but i know I saw one at work the other day of mine with a Holley 390 on it and turned sideways. I got the carb at either Jegs or Summitt and I'm sure the bellcrank came with it. They probably sell them seperate. I'll look dor the pic when I go back on Tuesday.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I bought a universal cable kit I think I can get it to work. If you can get a pic of the bell crank that would be nice. ;)Still kinda iffy on the cable thing.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I wanted to do the 3 carb thing but this seemed a lot easier. The main reason I got this was because of the heated bottom. I think the 4 barrel would get better gas mileage. Anything has to be better than what I started with.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Getting better at the ebay thing. Did'nt fall asleep this time. Did'nt drink to much rockstar and hit the wrong buttons.:lol: Got a rear roll pan for my 64,new still in the box. Waited till three minutes left. Won the bid by .50.:metal: Too funny. Got my carb linkage done. Hooked up the water to the manifold. Need to hook up the clutch linkage.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

awesome
so how much did you get the roll pan for

Re: Daverods project 66
 

75.50 ;) Not a steal but I was going to buy one anyway. Every little bit helps. Just sold the seat off my sled for 100 so that covered it.:mm:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Getting closer.:uhmk: Almost fire in the hole.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Pulled my spark wires off when I painted the engine. Should have taken a picture. Thought I was being smart and just looked at the last engine picture in my thread. The black engine looks good but his wires are off one hole counterclockwise. Once I moved all the wires one hole she fired right up.:metal: Got a oil leak brhind my dash to fix, if I even hooked it up. Water leak in the thermohousing guess I should have used a gasket and sealer?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I like it!! Fire that thing up!:metal::metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I just got caught up on your build and it's looking good spud.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Fire in the hole. :metal:Nothing like the sound of open headers. I think I'm going for a drive. :smoke:Turn the sound on your computer all the way up to get the true sound.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Any ideas on where the distrubator vac line hooks onto the carb? Also where does the hose from the valve covers go? Into the carb or into the manifold?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Jason. I like your new garage.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

awesome and to answer your question
i have no idea....sorry

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Sweet!!!! Good to hear it run!!
The vacuum hose to the distributor vacuum advance can go to any vacuum port located on the intake manifold or the carb base. the pcv line usually goes to the intake manifold if there is a fitting.
I drilled and tapped my stock intake with a extra port since I needed a port for the power brake booster also.
Just about any any place you have a vacuum port. And plug off any extra un-used ports.
I like the way the carb cable turned out.
It looks and sounds great.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thought I heard a siren in the background of the video at the end, was it your open headers in the middle of the night that caused your neighbors to call 911???

Re: Daverods project 66
 

My experience has been not to use a full vac port. You need the signal port on the carb. If you use the full vac port your timing will be full advance at idle. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The signal port is at the base of the carb. If you don't have the manual search the model number of the carb.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Bubba. Right now I have the pvc line going into the bottom of the carb but I'll put it into the manifold. Damn gotta go cops are here.:smoke::lol: Too funny I heard the sirens at the end too. Must have been the tube. CSI on spike.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I don't have a manual the carb is a rebuilt. I'll have to do a search.
The 51 chevy I went and looked at the other day was a piece of $hit. I can't believe the guy wanted 650. It was hashed. It's funny because I got kinda lost going to the guys house. I saw a nice 51 sitting on a hill next to this old house. There was'nt any tracks going to the house (it snows here). So I did'nt want to get stuck so I just went bombing passed the house and up the hill to the truck. I was excited the truck was sweet. Long story short. It was the wrong truck, the guy was pissed:sumo: almost got shot.:lol::ito:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Try both ported and manifold vacuum; your engine will tell you which it prefers........I would think on yours use the manifold vacuum, it will give you more advance at idle and better throttle response with that big carb....That's just my opinion.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

The stock distributor should have mechanical advance besides the vacuum advance. Always check total advance with a degree timing light. Just a thought.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Off with the old on with the new. Damn that old bumper was ugly, and heavy bet I lost 100lbs. The only thing bad is now you can see how warped my tailgate is. I need to do a little bending.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

looks good now i need to find me one

Re: Daverods project 66
 

In a Truck, loosing 100lbs in the rear isn't always a good thing. It will be harder to hook up, but looks better. Are you going to install a gas tank back there?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Gage, check out Sr Michaels.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I don't think I'm going to mess with the gas tank on this one. My seats seem to fit me fine.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

In the snow you better put some sand bags in the bed for weight. :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

;)I don't drive my chevy in the snow. Thats what the rusty F@rd is for. I has 350 lbs of tube sand and good sipped snow tires. It does great in the snow.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I was going to say use the F*rd in the snow. :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Think spring!! Snow is gone here in South west Idaho and Spring is coming!!!:bann: Temperature in the 40'S ----Tee shirt weather

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Rained like hell here, but no snow. A lot up in the mountains though.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Gee Strodder, that really looks like the Boise Valley and our local mountains.. We have a ski resort with plenty of snow, but the valley snow has gone and now just lots of mud left.
We have a few more trees here in Boise valley. French trappers named it Boise in the old days, it means "The Trees".
It is mainly high desert between here and Dave over in Pocatello about 275-300 miles east. Best seen at a fast rate of speed, or at night!!!!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

wow the only vieuw i got are the neighbours curtans

Re: Daverods project 66
 

No,:sumo: we don't want spring yet the snowmachining just got good. And I still have body work to do on my truck.;) Nice picture Strodder does that windmill power your shop?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

So what do your neighbours look like.;) I guess that could go both ways? I don't really want to know.:lol: Unless their hot.:lol: Then pictures would be ok I guess.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

trust me if she would close the curtans naked i would be shocked and discusted i guess too shes in her 60s

i have seen views like on that picture in the states when i was in arizona and california you have the most awesome wide open spaces there , i live in the netherlands and the saying goes that if you go take a leak in the bushes here you bound to get someone wet

Re: Daverods project 66
 

i wish my neighbors would have left the curtains open
they were 19 year old british twins :thumbs: and partied all the time
too bad they moved :(
