1987 Monte Carlo SS Build - Aka Project Grown

Float is stuck.

Floats don't stick with EFI. 😉

For as nice a compliment of parts this is, not going with EFI seems counter intuitive in 2020. A cammed 6.0 is really easy to tune.

I agree a well tuned EFI is nice but not what I'm looking for. As much as carb tuning can be a huge PIA, I still like having a little bit of the past. I Just sold my GT350 that I tracked and am looking for a C5/C6 to make my track weapon which will be EFI.

Once this carb setup is running right it will be the cats *ss IMO. All of my friends run carbed LS's and they all make great power running easily in the Mid 9's with good street manners.

Just need to find out this issue... GRRR (DAMN CARBS) LOL

Did you ever get your wheel seal issue figured out?

 

[Pro86tourn]

Was a real PIA but managed to get the seal in!

Some pics of the car ... currently.

Great looking car and great looking engine. I like the carb! I possibly missed it but what are you using for a fuel pump and did you make the coil relocation kit?

 

[Pro86tourn]

Carb looks great.. just need it to run right lol.

Fuel pump is holly blue pump. As for the relocation kit ( ICB-551583 ) had to modify it but gave me a starting point.

Anyone running Manual brakes? Hate to switch now considering I bought a brand new master/brake booster.. Would Wilwood master work?

Fuel pressure regulator on the firewall is a no-no.

I am actually in the process of installing my manual brakes right now!!!! Check out manual brakes.com I believe Dave is a member here and a wealth of knowledge
