  1. Thanks guys, I think I am going to take a chance and fish the exhaust, prior to break in. I guess the worst that can happen is i have to sent them back out this winter to get re-coated. Mike did you break in Jack's car with them on, and did you see any detrimental affects?
  2. You guys that have Doug's headers... Can you break in your motor with them installed or are they like the Hookers and tell you can't because you will burn the ceramic coating. I know Doug's are thicker. I don't know how I would break in my motor without doing two complete exhaust jobs. I have a old set of BBC header but they are for racing and it would be a chore to rig them up. Any suggestions???

    yeah Jack I will have them on here late fall. I need to get the paint scanned or maybe even sent off to PPG. I really want off white but will probably do black to tie in the rest of the car. I might do something stupid and redo the interior in cream the i can have my cream deck stripes.
  10. I would just spend half that and get the (constant Pressure Valve body) that way you don't have to mess with the TV adjustment. It maintains the pressure internally.
  11. Don't forget the issues with the Pilot bearing. that willbe the hardest part of the conversion. Assuming your crank wasn't fitted already.
  12. It is only wrong if you do it to raise the value to sell. It is completely wrong in my opinion. Not the cloning the deception. If you want to clone a car fine, besides it is the look we want not some status, but when you start cutting VIN tags off an original car that is completly scrap and putting it on a nice car that maybe was a plain jane i think it is wrong. Just remember it is all about deception, and usally to make alot more money on a sale. I feel it is perfectly fine if you are open about t being a clone. I have had this argument with a few of the guys around here that do this and wouldn't you know it they never want to tell the buyer that it is a clone even though I know for a fact it is. Dead Wrong.
  13. Hey boys and girls. Summit has in their bargian bins TCI 700R4/2004R automatic lockup kits for $49.98. This is a great deal I picked one up and it looks good. It changes the wireing so it will only lockup in fourth and unlocks when your engine is under load. You can also add the brake switch to this setu if you want immediate unlock on braking, and an over-ride swtch so you can keep it on or off in other gears. Down side is that it is only in the store (Ohio) and is limit one per person. Just thought you guys should know. Christian
  14. Does anyone know if a speedo modual from a 400 or 350 will work in a 700? I have an electronic one in my 700 now and wanted to know bbefore I go to a tranny shop. I have plenty of 350s and 400s around that would gladly donate to me. Thank you Christian
  15. just for clearification. U-joint to U-joint was Center to Center.
  16. Here is a hint the 90 degree bend goes to the modulator on the tranny.
  17. Sorry I miss spoke. You are correct. It took me forever to find my 800 QJ for my 455 RA-III. Thats what I get for speaking when i am drunk. LOL Sorry Bones I did not understand your app. I still believ the Q-jet would have a hard time hitting its limits on all but the radical to extreme engine builds. But you need to find an Old school guy that nows what they are doing with them.
  18. I truly believe it is hard to beat a properly tuned Q-Jet on a Chevy/Pontiac. I know alot of people would disagree, but most never have been bleesed with a Q-Jet guru nearby. I stand by them untill you need 750 or better. The 750 Q-jets are very hard to find. My two cents
  19. Not the console, the shifter. I am pretty sure the console would go on the carpet. Thanks for your help guys. I think I have come to a conclusion with all your help.
