Mild Modifications / Engine too high on Z/28
« on: November 13, 2010, 02:43:21 AM »
I have a 69 Z/28 with a 327 out of a 67 camaro, and am having trouble closing the hood.  Thanks to your great web site, I learned that Z28's have special motor mounts that I installed recently.  I have the cowl induction hood and cowl air cleaner set up like original, but the hood has never closed correctly, even after installing the correct motor mounts.  The motor actually sets up a little higher with new mounts.  I would say that the engine is now about an inch too high.  Any ideas why the hood won't close correctly?

Thanks

Maintenance / Idle problems under load
« on: April 06, 2010, 12:19:07 AM »
I have a 68 RS with original 327/powerglide, and recently rebuilt the engine.  I put in a mild cam, edelbrock manifold and 1406 carb.  The ignition is the original distributor with a MSD 6AL box.  I re-jetted the carb for my elevation (3000 feet). The engine is slow to warm up, and then finally idles ok.  Then when I put it in gear, it idles very rough, and stumbles when I try to accelerate.  Once I get it in motion, it runs fine, and cruises down the road very nice.  It's running about 12 degrees advanced, and I put in the lighter springs and weights in the distributor to try to get as quick as advance as I could.  Any ideas with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Originality / Burgundy Z/28

I've been told by other owners of 69 Burgundy Z/28's, that there were only 50 of these cars made, as it was a special order for dealers.  Is this true?
