So sorry! Completely forgot and won't be at my car until next week. I grabbed this pic off the internet.
The channel installs after the front fender.

I just pulled the moldings off my car (not the yellow one) yesterday. I'll post a picture and measurements for you tomorrow, Tuesday.

Hello Wiseman, I was told by the second owner it had a crossram on it when the original owner raced it. The original owner blew/broke the original engine. Second owner "thinks" it had a service replacement engine in it when he bought it and a single carb. Third owner who I brought the car from pulled that engine in the 80s to rebuild it. He ran into some trouble and did some time and the engine was sold by the rebuilder.
So long story short, I don't know.

I was going to post the same question on my Z.
Have to read up on what the K66 TI ignition jumper wire is.
Found it: https://www.camaros.org/trans_ign.shtml

I'm on vacation in Europe for a few weeks. Will post the Isky cam card upon my return. Solid lifter still, more modern/torque producing grind.

Quote from: CantRepeat on March 11, 2026, 06:49:29 PMStill amazes me that a factory engine loves such high revs!!
We spun it to 7500 (terrifying) twice but power drops off at 6800.

Stock 186 heads with LS valves and springs (same size valve, smaller slightly longer stem). Howard 1:55 roller rockers. Original distributor with a Pertronix unit. Original list 4053 carb with 72 primary jets and 76 main jets. 6.5 on both power valves. Original style Melling oil pump, 70 psi at 7000 RPM Valvoline VR1 30 weight oil.
91 Octane pump gas. Timing all in at 38 degrees.

Still at the Dyno. Made 369.3 HP with the original carb!
I will post all the details of the engine later tonight. But it is basically stock with the exception of using a smaller valve stem diameter LS valves instead of the original valves.

My newly rebuilt 302 is on the dyno today. Broke the cam in for 25 minutes yesterday. Baseline pulls today with Dyno shop carb and ignition. Then will put the original carb and distributor in and see what it does.
