I put headers on my 454 and put the oil dip stick tube back on and noticed that there's not way to get the spark plug in. What have you guys done to get around this?
-
The fender wells fit really well. I found out the the support isn't there on the steel ones. That's why it wouldn't fit. So I'm all good to go.
-
I replaced my broken plastic inner fenders with steel ones and now I can't get my battery tray and support to line back up. I can line up the tray where it needs to be, but the support doesn't even come close to lining up. If I loosely bolt the support on I can get it in the right place, but the tray won't line up. What am I doing wrong?

THANKS!!!

Yep it's an AC car. The blower has the purple wire and suppressor on it. So the orange wire is for non-AC cars? If so, I'm going to remove it completely from the harness.

Guys, The wiring under the hood is a mess. I've got a good wiring harness to put in it though. Here's were I need help. The only wire that's cut on the harness I'm putting in is also cut on the one in the car. It's in the same bundle that the distributor, wiper motor, starter, and the oil sending unit. It's orange. According to the wiring diagram I have it shows that wire going to the blower motor, but doesn't show me were it connects. The blower circuit is completely different, it has other wires that connect to it. Plus, I don't see any place to attach it the orange one. The car ran fine and the blower works as it should with that orange wire not attached to anything. Anyone got a clue what it's for and where it goes?

Subscribing!

hhmmm I guess that I might as well replace the heads before spending money on a manifold then.

Will an oval port intake fit peanut port heads?
-
Can I got one of you to post a picture or two of how the kick down cable on a turbo 350 mounts to the engine and discribe how it routes from the trans please.

We're gonna learn how to rebuild a Q-Jet.

and then i read somewhere else where the 4 hole gaskets will just slightly improve low end torque and possibly improve mpg's. I have found nothing online that says this gap and open area created between the carb and intake will create a stumble.
I guess now I pull the intake and look at the intake manifold gaskets. Because, in review, I'm definetely getting a vaccuum leak, and spraying to locate it has not turned up anything....
Is it a stumble or is it backfiring? It's a big difference. With a stumble I'd say it was the Q-jet, if it's a backfire I'm still going with timing/ignition issue.
If it sat for awhile since the last time you started it, there's a chance that the carb gummed up. That would cause a stumble, it may run rich or lean, all kinds of things.
What has 2 thumbs and called out the carb? This guy! haha Glad you've got it figured out. As far as what to do next, I've done both, rebuilt them and used a reman. Rebuild kits are a lot cheaper than buying a new carb. I'd probably go that route.

That gasket should work, but I've always used the four hole style. It you sprayed around the base of the carb while it was running and it didn't suck it in, then the gasket was ok. If you've got the four hole gasket already, give it a try. Couldn't hurt.

Pat, there really isn't that much to do. Install the trans, change the position of the crossmember, shorten the driveshaft, install a convertor control for the over drive. B&M makes a really nice set up for that overdrive. The one in my Monte was really great. I change out to a TH400 because the car is going for strip only and no highway. Good luck.
The problem is that there's no place close that I can get my drive shaft shortened. I live in the middle of now where! haha
-
Thanks. I don't think I want to get into all of that. Maybe a 200, but probably just another 350.
-
For you guys that have put one in your car, what's involved with making the swap?
-
Thanks!
-
What's the part# on the rack and pinion set up that you have on there? I'd like to do that with mine.
-
Pat,
It sounds like you have a BOP tranny. the bottom two bolts are the only ones the same. This is probably your pattern
that's what it looks like! sheesh! well I'm going a 200 4r friday that is supposed to be good. I guess I'm going to make the swap a bit sooner than I expected!
-
These are the SBC bolt pattern dimensions. Does this help?
really cool thanks
the only bolts that line up are the two lower ones right and left. The three on the top have nothing in them. As a matter of fact, the trans doesn't even fully cover these holes!
do you have anything like this drawing for the BOP trans?
-
The bolt patterns are different. Like Bob was saying though, some BOP trannys were dual bolt pattern. I've run one of them with no issues. You need to find a universal case, or a Chevy case. Sorry.
Any ideas what the heck this trans might be?
-
Can a sbc be bolted to a pontiac/olds/buick turbo 350? I noticed last night that the only bolts holding my trans to the engine were the two lower ones on each side. So after checking it out more I saw that none of the other holes on the engine lined up to the holes on the trans. Can it be done? Or did chevy change it's bolt pattern somewhere down the line...???
BTW, there doesn't appear to be any kind of adaptor in between them.
-
anyone using one? I've heard that there are new stronger parts for them and that they make a great trans for cruising and racing. thoughts?

I'm not seeing how I can move it far enough. I'll have to look at it again tomorrow when I'm in a little better mood.
