First, a big THANKS to Twisted, Boo and... - 08/17/05 05:11 PM
... everyone that helped me build a nice little set-up for my 1967 Chevy Nova. Started as a parts-matching granny-mobile... now...
Bored 40 Over, Offey Intake with a Holley 390 Carb and HEI Distributor. This feels like an entirely different car and your patience (ALL OF YOU) and info-share means that you (this message board and THE book) actually BUILT this car for a guy that just barely knew how to DRIVE before I got here!
Thanks again!
I have the power, I can feel it... Still, I need (just a little, tiny bit) more. I'm trying to figure out how to build a little more boost right off the line... and lower the 'Zero to Sixty' by a bit.
I'm NOT trying to build a racer (well not exactly) but I do love to chirp a bit right off the stop for the local import guys here in Venice, CA.
I just want to know what I can do. Right now, my motor takes a deep breath before allowing me to take off when I hit the floor. It's a stutter of about a second or so, and it's KILLIN' me!
Let me know what's next? Rear Gears? A Cam? Which one? My Dad and I came up with the Fuel Pump as a suspect. I've got a new Electric pump from Holley and I'll be adding that to the package today or tomorrow. I'll also try to figure out a way to send pics and specs (if anyone cares to see 'em).
Please give me a hand (again). I've had the car for almost ten years and just done these few things to it within the past few weeks... I'm falling in love all over again...
... now if I could just JUMP off of that LINE!!!
My gratitude to one and all...
Jason
