    Wind noise and aerodynamics

    I finally figured were most of the wind noise is coming. Its not leaking windows it is that small groove between crome list and roof. I tested it by putting masking tape and closing that groove, 70 mi/h and no wind noise. So has anyone noticed this and any ideas how to remove that groove.

    exhaust drone in cab

    If its drone at certain rpm, like mine had at 2500-3000, which is just in highway cruise rpm, i would suggest building 1/4 wave exhaust resonators. those removed annoing drone from my duster. its cheap and lightweight solution. link Suggestions for muscle car sound muffler without drone

    Best Diff Ratio?

    I have now 3.23 gears. Rest of combo is 318 w 904 trans 2500 stall. Good combination. Higher gears would only make it burn more rubber in my case. I plan to modify my governor next winter to get better acceleration without loosing nice highway gears. 2700 rpm at 60 mph.

    Intake air temperature test

    I have wideband gauge on my car. Because i am bad at tuning my carb otherwise. So i can monitor a/f easily. Of course if cold air intake restrict or makes turbulence all benefits from cold air are lost.

    Intake air temperature test

    I was interested about how hot these under hood open air elements get on normal drive so i made little experiment. I put normal air temp inside one and drove my car about one hour. Hottest it got was 97f while outside was about 60. That 70 is inside car. So if its about 30-40f hotter that would...
