4402 has been sold

Thanks guys. Does anyone know when they first started repo the chrome dome aircleaner. I have a copy of the ebay/paypal receipt from May 2006. Was sold as OEM, but that doesn't mean it is. The goldish hue on the underside made me question if it was OEM. I was going to post in...

I think I saw you trailering this down Bigelow Gulch last week.

2 Hemi carburetors, $1200 each. Came off my 69 RR, not an original Hemi car. I drove the car probably 100 miles before converting to EFI. Car ran good but not as good as it does with the EFI. Main issue was car was very hard to start if it had been sitting for over a week or so. Not sure if...

Can anyone tell me if this is this an OEM or aftermarket hemi air cleaner? Cant find a part number anywhere, not sure they had part numbers.

I put dual quad snipers on my 528” Hemi this spring. It always starts and I don’t smell like exhaust after a drive. I’d never go back to a carb and points. This is the 4th car I’ve converted to EFI. 2 LS swaps, one Hamilton EFI setup and then the sniper setup.

Well it’s all done for now, runs great, stops great, handles nicely. Did everything but A12 hood and tranny conversion.

Got the air cleaner figured out, for now. Hood clearance isn’t much and the stock air cleaner wasn’t going to fit so I decided on the old school triangle air cleaners. My dad had one on a 65 Vette back when I was a kid and I thought it was so cool. I think it works on the RR. Had to move...

Do you have a phone # or webpage for Jed's. I'm in Spokane and looking for someone to refresh a 727.

Well I fired it up today, ran great right out of the box. Idle was a bit high which I fixed. Really amazed by the throttle response and the overall sound. I had it idling in my garage and didn’t smell unburnt gas, starts instantly. The original carbs were really holding this engine back. I...

I got the carbs mounted up. Fits real nice. Welded up o2 bung and fanned up throttle linkage. Original aircleaner doesn’t clear so I’m going to have to do something about that.

Converting my 472 to Sniper EFI, hope to get started on it in a few days. Purchased the Sniper EFI setup and the Holley tank/pump/sending unit. I’ve done a couple LS swaps and told myself after those I’ll never have a car with a carb/s and non electronic ignition. People love them and can...

In a 69 RR Is the factory aluminum intake suppose to be orange? I believe so. Mine is raw aluminum. I’m going to be painting the heads may paint the intake is well. Not sure why the heads were never painted.

I don’t know anything on the rods. My father in law pieced parts from various places. Pretty sure the rods are old, Mmt 2014 is the only marking I can find on them. I’ll switch over to steel rods in the near future.

I didn’t test mine but with the stroker crank and the huge vintage aluminum rods I doubt it would have cleared. Not thrilled about the aluminum rods but I’ll address that in the future.
