Good call. I use the lightest vacuum spring too. Under load the secondaries would absolutely be open. In the driveway, they won’t open. Although, is there more or less suction on the filter with...

I've had a 700R4 bolted to my 455 for many years now. It was very easy. I use the bowtie overdrives TV cable setup. Had to get a custom length driveshaft. I love the 700R4. My car is a street...

Update: The RPM intake, changing the vacuum secondary spring to the lightest and converting the 4160 carb to a 4150 and using size 80 jets in the secondary made a HUGE difference. I no longer feel...

So, you guys are saying Cloyes is the best timing set to use? Better than Rollmaster and whatever Butler is selling as their own, or Comp, or BOP is selling?

So, if you need a .005 one, it would...

Thanks guys. I love my rims, so replacing them is a no go. I misunderstood the offset part. I went out to the car and see what you guys mean now. The rear doesn't rub at all. I think the...

Actually, the more I look at it, I think the wheels need to come into the body more, rather than out. I think the tire is hitting on the fender lip bolts. I'll put button bolts in instead and...

Might be something to think about. I'll check if my lug studs are long enough to safely run a spacer and try that, if they are.

K&N 2006 for me. I actually read higher pressure with it than I do with a Delco filter.

Interesting. There were previous comments about being faster with lower shift points than 5000. I'd sure hate to dink around with them and find it to be slower. IndymanJoe lives right by me. ...

I hope you're right about the power. I won't be using a spacer with the RPM. It appears that the thermostat height is the same on both intakes. I used a level from the base of the carb on the...
