So, I´m really disappointed in the low end power on my 273. Can´t get it to break traction even on rainy days! Here´s my current recipe: 273 Standard block, bored over 030. Flat head pistons. Weight adjusted pistons and connecting rods. 340 camshaft with hydralic lifters. 340 Valvesprings...

Acually, I run Hedmans headers for -67 and up A bodies in my -65 Belvedere II. Works fine.

Yepp, passenger side, ported vacuum. Seems like everything is running smoothly, I´ll have to check again. No, first I disconnected the vacuum line, it ran better. Then I messed with the timing, it got WAY better. Oh, sweet, I´ll check that tonight or tomorrow. Thanks guys, this is why I love...

So, I disconnected the Vacuum Advance and plugged the line. Gave it a little more timing, and the stumbling went away. However, now it´s harder to start, and seems like it lacks in power? Thinking that the Vacuum Advance...uhm...thingie on the distrubitor might be the problem?

Yeah, sounds like that to me too. I´ll try that, thanks! :) 273 with the following recipe: Bored over 030 1973 340 Camshaft Weight adjusted pistons and connecting rods Ported heads, and machined 0,5mm Commando intake 600 Edelbrock carb Just stumbling, at any speed over 20 when holding the...

Well, discovered this today. When I hold the foot steady on the gas, it kind of...runs rough? No hesitation, good idle, pulls great. Just when I cruise (no matter the speed/rpm), it just runs rough. Tried to adjust the timing, don´t have a timing light, so just by ear. Good vacuum (around 14 at...

Someone must know the answer...COME FORTH! ;)

Actually I found that my enginemounts were´nt original. My were about ½" thick, and the new ones about 2". So, with the new mounts in place, the headers cleared just fine, raised the engine an additional 1/4" just to be safe, and the angles are all fine. Got this tip from a buddy of mine, who...

What´s the stock ride height for a ´65 Belvedere II? I searched, but could´nt find anything.

As some of the regulars might know, I was hunting headers for my -65 Belvedere. Now the headers are installed and ready to go. I used Hedman Headers -67 and up, for A Bodies (Valiants, Darts). The only modifications I did, was that I put in new motormounts, and put ½" of flat iron under the...

:thumbsup:Awesome! Cool to get invited like that. I got an offer last week to lend my car for a a Pin Up girl calendar shoot...:thumbsup:

That´s one hell of a find! Sweet pics, looks awesome.

Yeah sounds awesome! Can´t wait until tomorrow, so I can start tuning it in properly. :)

Well guys and gals, today I fired the engine for the first time! Here´s a small vid of it. Note that I have´nt adjusted anything. Just TDC, and fired her straight up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyfCf-BAv6A&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Well, guess You all are going to shoot me now. I bought a china knockoff of the MSD 6AL, with a spool. Payed $100 for the set, with new Accel wires, and a fuel pump (ProComp Holley knockoff). I figured, for that price it can be ****, and I still won´t cry myself to sleep. :mrgreen: Now, a...
