I was trying to wait to post an update until it is finished and has been run. But I'm making headway on my build.

My setup is pretty similar to srmmmm's, except I'm using my stock #11 small valve...

Very confusing.

This question came up for me because I have a '70 Tempest built 03B, shipped 3/17/70. The original bill of sale from the dealership lists the model as T-37 when it sold 10/2/70....

I think it helps to clarify what you mean by lugging. To me, it's not that it's operating outside the camshaft's efficiency, but I've always understood "lugging" as high load, low rpm. Usually when...

Door differences

My 70 doors have a decent bit of rust and and some old repairs that were going to make repairing them a small fiasco. I was recently able to pick up a pair of 71-72 doors that seem to be rust free....

The only drawback I see, is it doesn't seem to be fully mandrel bent. The H-pipe piece seems to be, but the over axle pipes, tailpipes and header pipes all have decreased diameter in the bends. It's...

I'm not so sure how great of an idea it was after all, the kit arrived last Friday missing half of the components, so we'll see how Advance Auto handles it.

Off topic, but it was likely due to the K&N oil migrating from the air filter to the MAF sensor. They do work well IF the filter is a bottleneck, but there can be side effects if using with a mass...

The reason is I would like to have the #s matching block in the car, and get better performance out of it. If I can get it working with the factory heads, that's even better.

Interesting, I had no idea such a thing existed. Is this different from the rubber mat that you got when you ordered the car without carpet? How does it look/fit in the car?
