More painting of the bumper, started reassembly. Cleaned up a lil spot with some fine steel wool, cleans up well.


Also... I got my car dyno'd today.
211rwhp at 5003rpm, 263rwtq at 2781. Thinkin somewhere between 270-290hp/350-370ftlbs at the flywheel.
Stock '70 Buick 350 SP Factory Rated at 315 Gross Hp, 410ftlbs, 10.25:1. I have thicker head gaskets than factory, so it's closer to 9.5:1.
14x2 Mr. Gasket Chrome Air Cleaner with a dirty paper filter.
Stock Heads, no porting, no polishing, stock 1.88i/1.5e valves. Home derpy valve lapping job. 942-16 Comp Springs robbed from my old motor.
Stock Intake
Stock Exhaust Manifolds
STOCK BORE
Stock Shallow Dish Pistons
Homemade 2.5" dual exhaust, exits behind rear tires through thrush welded chambered mufflers, mandrel bending solutions tail pipes (GN Style).
Stock type 17057241 800CFM Qjet, but modded accordingly via Everyday Performance.
Stock type HEI ignition timing at a very conservative 8* base, 22* of advance all in by 2800. Vacuum advance is adjustable, left it the way TA Performance set it up. Ported Vacuum.
Crower Level 3 cam, .446/.468 on a 112LSA, 210/220* @.050
Only thing I have on it that isn't "stock", is a fuel pressure regulator set to 4.5psi, and a 1/2" layered phenolic spacer, mainly for linkage clearance for the intake.


At WOT the AFR was 10.8... rich as hell. I imagine I'd pick up some numbers remedying that.

Hope all is well after the tornado touched down in Ottawa last night

No issues here. We are well East of where it touched down. That said we are dealing with various Emergency Response plans for work... always fun to learn how ill prepared you are for the thing that never happens - until it happens.
 
Good pick. I bought mine from Rockauto, and they are fairchild brand. I actually bought sweeps for a GN since they're all black, and the only issue I ran into was a couple screw holes being off just enough to tweak the sweep. I carefully opened up said holes and they look great....

Nice. I ordered the GN kit as well, I liked the black bead, But they sent me the Hurst outers anyway, they have the small chrome bead. I might use on my 84’ and order another set from Rockauto. Thanks for the heads up.
