Hoping to save the 300 as it is a matching numbers frame off resto, just looking ahead for an option if needed. Thanks to all!
The trans(ST/SP300) is at a VERY WELL TRUSTED shop right now. There is an issue concerning a tool he does not have to remove some part to allow access to the total insides of the tranny. The tranny...
I have read that there is a kit to change the transmissions but have not been ble to find it. Specifically it is linkage and shifter position plate for a floor console shifter. Is anyone familiar...
I had a Mark 2 with 218*/228* on a 110* LSA with lifts around .475/.488". A 800/850 Thermoquad, headers(Hookers?) and a 3-speed SP tranny with a 12-bolt 3.55 rear but never got it to a track. Now...
EELCO is coming out with a sngle plane single 4 intake next month! Could be interesting! How about Hooker headers? I read the Sandersons only added 5whp and 5qtq!
Also what would be the combo to hit...
Interested in where KB got their cores in the '70's and what company is making the cores today and if they are fast ramps or still old school designs? I believe I had a Mark 2 in my '66 GS with...
Given the choice which would make a better base for a build? The issiue as I see it with the 425 is the overheating possibilities if it is bored too much. To use a narrow top ring a 425 needs to be...
Tom since this thread seems to be going everywhich way I got even more offtrack than most, sorry. I understand and have seen that 30* total timing on '93 octane is the max and not bad considering...
A stock 425 piston w/pin is almost 1000grams! The pin alone is a half pound(225gms.) and that is an area to take weight off the rotating assembly which on a nail is very important if you want to spin...
Tom, if you are still interested in the dual quad intake I believe that you are next in line! Mark, marksweet@webtv.net
Tom, it seems a stock motor with it's approximate 9.9:1 compression can run at 30* total on 93 octane but it would seem that would be it without a larger cam that had more overlap unless you know...
I did hear of a local dirt track racer who moved the exhaust valve to the other side of the chamber to make it like a true HEMI and flow much better but that is all Im know.
Is there a starter that will interchange with the one on a '66 Skylark GS? THX, Mark
Tom I could meet someone at exit 40 on the NYS thruway which is about 15 miles west of Syracuse in central, NY. Maybe wait until the end of the week to see if the member from Canada gets ahold of me....
I think you ca et then upplier of the kits on www.v8buick.com but a super port job on a 425 would be much more cost effective as they barely flow enough for 425" let alone 464!
Troy the REAR carb is the one with the idle and mixture screws on it and it is what the motor runs on until the front primaries are needed and then the secondaries will open in tandem when the...
They are already being reproduced also.
I lost your email but will deal with you. email me and we can set something up for a phone call. Mark
The car should have a Quadrajet carb on it. Good carb. Multiple carbs are mostly for looks and are more difficult to tune.
Thanks. This particular car has AC and back in '66 those cars with AC have a returb line for sending the fuel back to the tank to keep it cool. This however is more of an "arguement" over the...
I have a question that would pertain to the nailhead but that forum is quite dead! LOL For a car only driven during summer months what would most likely induce vapor-lock, a stock cast iron or an...
Anyone running a Thermoquad? How about dual quads? I have a stock '64 2 x 4 intake but I don't think I will use it but sell on ebay. I like the idea of an 850cfm T-quad however I would like to use it...
I know that adapter plates are available but it seems the rest of the swap is up to the individual like throttle linkage(cable nrequired). How about nthe tranny crossmember, can the stock be used or...
Have a '66 Skylark GS and would like a 700R4 behind it to make use of 3.73's and have a nice low rpm highway cruiser. I know adapters are available but what about the small stuff and linkages? THX!...
