The Chinese knock-offs are direct copies of the Weiand 7503 as far as I know. Keith Clews is the guy making them/importing them from China. @Geoff2 knows him I think. The Wind Tunnel (Super pac) manifold was only produced in very small numbers and if you find one it will be very expensive (and...

You're overt I think your idea is fine and you should carry on as planned. Hooker's advice would only apply to brand-new headers only on an engine being run for the first time e.g. engine assembled, headers on, fire it up and run-in the cam (maybe even on a dyno). Once they've been on and run...

You have a new cam with old headers (i.e. they are not new headers as they have already been run on the car). So no issue according to Hooker themselves.

I thought the Coronets have slightly more space than the 66/67 Belevedere/Satellites? Maybe due to the longer wheelbase, pushing the rear arch further away from the roof line intersection?

I have 245/60-14's on mine. I still have to jack the car up a little to get them in. 275's would be a real struggle.

I think he meant "Right photo" and "Left photo"

Maybe get a print shop to make one up based on a real looking one? I'm sure the knobhead at the DMV has no idea what it's meant to look like.

First thing I switch off in my wife's car - I can't stand it. Apart from the stress on the starter & battery, I hate the slight delay when it starts and takes off, and it always feels like there's something wrong with the car when it just cuts out like that.

Yes in theory, depending on the carb (if you had massive secondaries). But there were no issues with either an Edelbrock 650 AVS2 or Holley 700 D/P on a stock 4 barrel intake.

The adapter is required for the bolt pattern only, required for Holleys too. You can create an open plenum on the factory 4 barrel too. It was lot of work...

Mike I would double check that info before you buy it. I know Gary was talking recently with Edelbrock about potentially making a Poly intake if the interest was there, but this looks like the 7503 knock offs from China that the Aussie guy (Keith Clews?) is selling. Gary may have bought some...

It does need to go pretty high. The dolly that the engine is going to sit on will be in castors and probably 4" off the ground. Add the height from the bottom of the k-frame to the top of the intake and add 1" wriggle room. That's your measurement. BUT I had to roll mine out the side of the...

I've read that the 800 and 650 cfm AVS2's are really equivalent to 750/600 and need the bigger theoretical size because of the airflow restriction of the annular boosters. So the 650 would be like putting a 600 on your 440. Too small.

I like the factory 3 spoke wheel on the 66 & 67 cars, but they are fake wood I believe? The one below is my favorite. I like the feel of my real wood Grant (or similar, not sure) wheel. I actually sanded it down, stained it black and put about 5 coats of varnish on it. I really like it now but...
