And I have no idea what amount of time we will have on the rollers, but would it be possible to do jet changes? I would like to take the opportunity to tune my carb a little. |
I have a Holley kit with accelerator cam's, squirters, etc. Don't have any jets though I can offer up. Should I bring it, or are you covered there dude? _________________

Any kits would be super. I think I'm idling a little rich bit its really smooth. Starts right up without a pump shot. I have 71/80 jets right now but that's all I have. |

I can pull the jets out of the extra DP I have. IIRC I have 62/74 jet combo on the extra one, so I don't think that will feed your BBC sufficiently. Nonetheless, I'll bring my kit to dyno, and you can ruffle through and take whatever ya need. _________________

Oh come on, I just did a 600 mile round trip for a car cruise last Saturday. 100 miles is nothing. _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S

Brandon (chevymad) came 100 miles. Travis (Blue89) came 100 miles.The boys from up north came further than that.
Do it!

Aside from the motor breaking on the rollers, I had a good time.
I found what I think the problem was after arriving home. I thought the old fan motor gave out, when in fact the sender wire had disconnected from the switch, car overheated during the run and apparently spun a bearing or two. I wasn't watching the gauges like I should have, instead I was watching the dyno monitor. Now it's time to put the plan in motion a little sooner and start the search for a 350/383 roller cam motor. _________________ 92 Camaro

Luckily I'm only an hour or so away from you, and you're coming to get that berlinetta soon. Cable will come with. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56
