For $1000, I would put that towards a better 2bbl intake, a better exhaust system and taller rear gears. 2.76 is great for Kansas highways, 3.23 is a whole lot funner in town. My 65 had 3.55 gears on a 7.25 SG and I beat on that for 6 months with a mild 340 before the rear gave up. That light...

leaning out on the top end sounds like fuel supply issue. Yours sounds fat all around. Max power should be 12.5-13.1 depending in your gas (E10 or straight gas, E10 likes 12.5 as gas likes ~13) cruise is your choice between high 13 and low 15. if you can keep eye on EGT and pinging, you dont...

Can't porosity be cured with a good epoxy coating? A pressure test would show any faults I suppose.

OK, so I think you all convinced me that Tide pods are a waste, that the plastics may not completely dissolve, that the powder in the pods is too much, and the powder is not the greatest either for scale build up. Might try the 'ol $6 Cascade liquid again.

for you Fakebook challenged viewers....CHRYSLER COMPATIBLE>408 ci - BluePrint Engines

Huh? We've only use the tide pods.....are these clogging my system up?

Iirc the water level never gets higher than the bottom pan, so about 1 gallon of working water is being used at any time. A 2 gallon tank would probably work just fine.

If yours is in the garage or the kitchen.....mine wasn't draining the last 1" of water so I thought the discharge pump was shot. Stuck a fork in the interlock mechanism so I could see what it was doing. Filled fine, pressure pump worked, just a hum on the drain cycle. Pulled the discharge hose...

E85 takes +30% jets alone to work on a holley ( ie. 76 to 99s) . Can buy them set up for E85 already. E85 is 101-110+ Octane depending on who's you buy and its inlet temp is like 50-70F lower than 91 so it reduces pinging even more. E85 is still cheaper here in CA than crap 87 unleaded but you...

Could always convert to CNG. Just put a mixer on top of that 1050 Dominator and have the referee pass you as "clean" CNG powered.

Nice 65 in Laguna Beach, CA. Just like my high school ride but this actually has nice black paint instead of my black primer.

Not mine, just passing a commercial product nude shot to the DIYrs. Looks legit

Thats exactly how I tested mine without even knowing the procedure! mine didnt hold a vacuum on 12:00 port without vacuum on 3:00. time to look for another.....although it didnt create a vacuum leak, it did cause the EGR to open at idle as the sense didnt control anything anymore. I was actually...

build it, dont buy it.......
