Why does the hood fit so badly at the front? Was he trying to replicate the factory quality?

All 4 I think, with an emphasis on the latter 3.

Didn't bother painting the engine bay body color while the engine was out? You know, to keep it original...

It has to be something almost unobtainable, the Cannonball Run Countach:

That sucks big time. Stay positive and think of all the things that didn't get damaged: a. You b. The engine, transmission, wheels, tires, interior etc. At the speed you were going it could have been catastrophic. It might make you feel a little bit better.

I'm genuinely upset by this, even though I'm half a world away and never met him. He was pompous and could be a pain sometimes, but I honestly liked him and valued his thoughts. I'd often search for his latest threads just to get some "entertainment". I'd noticed he'd been MIA since the end of...

Yes I could...but I was looking for the type where the carb hold down bolt is captured flush underneath the spacer i.e the spacer is countersunk and machined to hold the bolt head. The reason being the poly manifold outside "ears" of the carb pad will encroach on the stud/nut needed to hold the...

The Weiand 7503 is a weird cross between a single plane and a dual plane manifold. I had one on the car when I bought it and after the first re-build. Very poor below 3,500 rpm, but it takes off after that. It was exciting in some ways but completely painful on the street and wouldn't even take...

Thank you. It took 3 weekends...including removal, re-installation and usual family/house commitments. Opening up the plenum was the slowest part. All the runners were opened up to match the gaskets/heads. It was slow work because I'd never done this before and was being careful, and it was hard...

It's a square bore carb - 650 Double Pumper. The spacer was meant to be on the other way - upside down. But when I went to put it on there was a 1/4" gap into thin air where the spreadbore "scallops" were. So I had to turn it over and put the square side down. It's probably unacceptable for a F1...

I did re-tune it after the original plenum work and I'll check it again with this new spacer. The open plenum wasn't my idea, it came from Poly guru Gary Pavlovich.

About 4 months ago I spent many hours porting the intake manifold on my poly engine and opening up the 4 hole plenum into one open space with a cut down divider Porting a Factory 4 Barrel Poly Intake Manifold The poly intake requires a carb adapter to take the standard Holley or Edelbrock...

Happy birthday Bob - haven't seen you around here for a while, hope you are well.

I always preferred "a fool and his money is soon partying"

I'd tell him to jam it...but then I'm old-school. 34 and still acting like a baby - time he grew up. If his mother doesn't like it...she can jam it too. As BB King said "As long as I'm payin' the bills, I'm payin' the cost to be the Boss!"

Yeah, we don't really argue like this on B Bodies. Yes this is the internet where childish arguing is the norm but we're a little more  mature here. There's plenty of other car forums you can go to for that crap.

Proof that there are still good people out there. That's awesome 71RRHI, Dave you're the man!

Well I don't watch Psychologists. They are to blame for the way kids act today.

I won them in the P-S-T Superbowl competition on here a few years back. No real change to ride comfort but improves the handling for sure.

I set mine where the gap between the LCA bumpstop and the frame rail is about 3/4". That's still plenty of suspension travel and the front end sits level. I don't like the look of the front end being higher than the rear, even if that was the "factory" look. I've got the 1.03 torsion bars and...
