    5000hp Hurst Olds

    Just saw this and thought I would share. It’s pretty bad a** but doesn’t belong in my garage. https://www.motorious.com/articles/news/1984-hurst-olds-is-a-5-000-hp-daily/amp/

    Health issue

    I wish you and your family the best outcome. I don’t know you personally but the only things in life that mean anything are family (whether they are blood or just someone important in a persons life) and one’s health. You are part of this forum and I see quite a bit of family here, which you...

    Max Timing for L69 with Bolt on Mods & Comp Cam

    We will agree to disagree. Like I said, I have used This exact cam and it had power everywhere. Have you used one? I actually plan on getting another one of these cams because it worked so great. actually comp cams recommended this cam for low and mid power.

    Max Timing for L69 with Bolt on Mods & Comp Cam

    I’m not sure where you’re coming from with this, but I have ran this same cam with 3:73 gears in a truck and it had all kinds of power down low, mid, and up top in the rpm range. I had the tune where it needed to be and it performed very well.

    Dash vibrations

    Great looking Malibu. I’m glad this thread came about. My Monte Carlo with a T5 developed a vibration like this. I have been contemplating where to start. I may have the same issue. Subscribed!!

    Aluminum intake prices

    My buddy went to oreilly the other day to buy a 200.00 off the shelf Edelbrock aluminum intake. Nothing special, just the EPS intake. It is now 449.00. I haven’t looked around at summit or any others but that is ridiculous. Anyone else notice this price increase?

    350 head identification

    Might want to plug that vacuum port off on the front of the carb. Actually you need to hook your vacuum advance up to that port if it’s the one below the throttle blades.

    350 head identification

    The Edelbrock and Holley 4150 have the same base bolt pattern. It will bolt to your performer intake. Get a good timing light with the rpm function on it if you want to know your rpm’s. Good luck.

    Did I screw up my heads???

    Do you have tapered plugs or flat with the gasket? Maybe you have the wrong plugs for your heads.

    eBay engine rebuild kits

    I agree with you guys. You get what you pay for. This isn’t my engine or I would pay extra for the good stuff. But I did see some of these eBay seller’s have brand name parts in their kits.

    eBay engine rebuild kits

    My buddy wants to rebuild the 350 sbc in his 1 ton dump truck. He was going to order a rebuild kit from summit or jegs and they have none. Everyone must be rebuilding their engines during coronavirus Or something. Anyway, has anyone bought a kit from eBay? What seller and was the quality...

    Whats your thing!!??

    V8 is my preference. The 327 in my Monte Carlo with long tubes and the Pypes exhaust is music to my ears!

    Summit is starting to piss me off

    I order quite a bit from summit. Since I live a couple hours away, as long as I order before 9 pm, the parts are on my doorstep the next day around noon. Every time. Unless the Ohio store is out of stock with the part. Same thing from jegs. I live about an hour from them.

    Holley Sniper EFI. Who’s running one, any opinions, tuning?

    My thoughts exactly Zach. I will drive it for a couple of weeks or so and see what it does. Then I will save that tune and start adjusting the timing just like 64nailhead suggests. I also believe I will change my distributor to the one you suggested. Knowing what I know now, I should have...

    Engine has jokes

    Shouldn’t his vacuum advance be on the full vacuum port? When it is running, not for setting timing. After he gets his misfire resolved.
