Does anybody have any pics of 69 350/300 SS engine compartments that would show all the proper brackets and locations mounting ect. At the point of installing intake back on block and attempting to place all brackets back where they should go.

What are you calling the return port? The one on the fuel filter or the tube standing up on top of the qjet. The one that comes out of the carb is a Bowl vent over the float assy. This should not be sealed.

Correct in the fact that returns were only on the qjets. But I am still curious in GM's reasoning for its' use, might it be the same.

Engine flooding...
Mark,
I still am interested by one of your earlier thoughts on the purpose for the return line on the Qjets to start with. I think somebody out there should have the answer.
Makes sense to me that it would be a relief, and allow a better fuel flow helping to keep the fuel temp in the line down. No...maybe...?
I have changed the carb since, don't seem to have the same problem, but it has not been a hot as it was. I think that the above question is addressing my problem. It seems as if the fuel line is getting hot enough to overpressure the line or vaporize the fuel. We all can remember the days when "vapor lock" was a common word.

Mark,
Say you use with auto/air with no problems? What kind of idle will the 962 give me?

Originality / SB Camshaft specs
« on: November 13, 2010, 03:39:24 AM »
Rebuilding a 69 350/300hp and attempting to keep original as possible. Trying to find out info on camshaft, Could not find GM part number on it but did find the GM stamp. Will most likely have to bore, will replace with orig style flat tops. Will have 041 heads and leave the cast qjet intake and carb. This is a 350 automatic car with air. Would like a slightly overstock performance cam with a good sound but not to loose any vacuum or effect on auto/air situation.
Does anybody have the specs on the stock 300hp cams used in 69 SS's. Or open to suggestions on good cam replacement.

While checking all my numbers on motor parts I realized that the water pump on this engine was a 3953892. All the notes that I have found so far list a pump with the number 3953692. I started looking for the 892 with not much luck. What is the different applications of the two?
