Mild Modifications / Re: Factory T.I. adapter
« on: January 17, 2023, 10:33:57 PM »
Not sure. I'm running Dougs 1 3/4" D368 and the #1 tube comes off the flange a bit before it turns down and there is plenty of clearance around it. I'm running the repro wire set also. I will say that I was able to use the reverse lockout with these. Just had to bend the rod from the bellcrank to the trans slightly to go over the collector.

Yes, I'm not sure why it works for some and not others. With the price of the tach adapter that I was considering being close to $200, I figured I would try it without. At least you found a good solution to incorporate it into your wiring. Same issues with my 267 also. Stabbing the distributor is critical to have at least a little adjustment on the timing with the crossram. I also have a 263 which I will eventually swap as the can on the 267 isn't connected anyway, but I need to have the lower end machined for the oiling.

Enjoy that crossram. We drove ours to Hemmings Muscle Palooza at Lebanon Valley Dragway in New York last May. Over 300 miles round trip.  ;D

For the heck of it, have you tried running the car with the TI and tach without the adapter? I added TI to my 69z a few years ago. Nos 343 box, nos 207 coil, 267 dist. Original gm 6-8 tach. After much research, some said it needed an adapter, some said it didn't. HBC carries one that I was going to buy but I figured I would just try it without the adapter and the tach works fine. My car is a late 10D factory gauge car so I don't know if any circuitry in the tach changed through the model year. I also disconnected the points resistance wire at the bulkhead and left it in the harness and added 8901973 ignition feed wire so I didn't have to drill the firewall.

Same with the shows around here James. We're about 45 minutes from Foxboro Ma, Patriot Place- Gillette Stadium. There is a cruise at the Bass Pro Shops there every other Thursday. Two weeks ago was the second one of the season. Weather was perfect and there were about 2500 cars in attendance. They had to turn cars away as the lots were filled to capacity.

Hey Steve priceless for sure! The last time we were at Carlisle was 2012. When Brian invited my 4 year old son and two year old daughter to sit behind the wheel of Jeff's freshly restored zl-1 and take a picture, I was excited but walking on egg shells. He was like, it's just a car. Brian and Joe are top notch and I've learned much through their detailed photos and info on their facebook page. Nine years later he says, let's replicate the photo in the green pro stock car. Great people giving back to the hobby. Your 68 has a killer stance!

Drove 8 hours and went to the Camaro Nationals on Friday morning for the first time. Saw some beautiful cars in the legends building and talked to some nice people. Didn't care too much for the lady in the camaro shirt telling my 12 year old son and I that we had to move while we were looking at the engine compartment of Bruce's BY copo Camaro because we were near a desk that she wasn't even sitting at. There weren't alot of cars out on the show field but maybe it was still early. Drove through Gettysburg on the way back and stopped at the Eisenhower farm.

Went to Carlisle on Saturday. Saw Don M's cortez silver zl1 #11 and the Yenko Z at the SLS along with some other very nice cars. Talked to Brian from SCW for about and hour and he let my two kids sit in the green prostock 72 Camaro. Some decent parts at the swap meet that I might have bought but didn't have my truck. The show field had a nice variety of cars.

My personal observations and opinion. As we stayed in Carlisle, I don't think I would go back to the Camaro Nationals unless there was a particular car that I wanted to see- like zl1 #55 or the green Baldwin Motion 69 Camaro. It's too bad that whatever caused the Camaro Nats to split off from Carlisle couldn't be remedied. It would be nice to have both venues back at one location.

Joe,

My brother owned that car back in the 90's. That vin sequence is unique and I thought I recognized it. The gentleman building it passed away and my brother purchased it from the family. It was a burnt orange color and it had a roll bar, coil overs, and ladder bars but factory wheel wells. The rear should still show remnants of the steel brackets for the coil overs and ladder bars as we put leafs back under it. My knowledge of camaros back then wasn't as detailed as it is now but from what I remember the car had signs of being an original z28 but it was missing the trim tag. The motor wasn't original. I can't say about the trans and 12 bolt. I thought it had remnants of dusk blue in the crevices. He ended up selling the car a few months later.

Thanks guys. I phoned Holley tech and was told that the 4346 does not have the check ball.

Hi Marty,
The Holley rebuilding book that I'm referencing states that most have the check ball but some have a metered restriction orifice. However it doesn't reference which list numbers should have it. Mine didn't have the check ball but before I reassemble it I want to be sure.

Can anyone tell me if the 4346 780 should have a check ball in the vacuum secondary housing?

« on: February 18, 2011, 07:22:18 PM »
Dave,
For whatever it is worth, I took several measurements. The rear springs and tank are out of my 69 pace car. Measuring inboard edge to inboard edge, using a stanley fatmax tape measure with bushings and a bolt in place to get the centerline, I came up with 42 1/2". Went right to left, left to right, several times to eliminate any possible error on my part. I also did this on my 69 x22 coupe drag car, which still has factory rails, but has coil overs and a fuel cell in the trunk. I came up with 42 9/16". Both cars have the original rails. Hope this helps.

Chris
