    A12 - time to get busy

    That FiTech system is fully self learning and tuning from what it looked like in the vid. The Holley kits from what I saw and read look like they are might be the same...self learning and tuning as well?

    A12 - time to get busy

    That looks like a really nice set-up...and fairly reasonable too! What is the cost on restoring OEM Six pack carbs? Quick internet search...it looks like at least $1K for a good rebuildable set of carbs, with yours having mods it would probably be a bunch more money. And at the end of the...

    A12 - time to get busy

    That looks like a damn nice resto on that car, I don't see much in the engine compartment i don't like, and from what I can see of the car it looks like a quality build! From watching the vid and reading the article I don't think Holley offers a complete Six pack set-up....just the EFI system...

    Rusty's not very quiet cuda progress

    That all looks damn amazing to me. The spots that only "you" can see being the painter and builder of the car will most likely go unnoticed or at best ignored while appreciating the over all work on the car! (y)

    Questions 1 & 2

    So much wrong on that engine bay...the AC hose routing even with the after market compressor and kit is atrocious...looks like a lazy unimaginative person did the install. Then there is big GM booster and MC, electronic ignition box just up on the firewall for no reason, the black painted...

    Big price, rare duster

    My old 70 Sport fury was a factory V02 car, with the rare FP6 Frosted Teal metallic paint with a white painted top. I spoke with the original owner and he was a traveling vacuum sales man and ordered the car with the matching FP6 bench interior, radio delete, 318/2bbl and a 904...because he...

    What are you working on?

    Nope she moved down to the Vancouver area...out in Abbotsford. It's a long drive from PG to the coast....;) Patches does the trip one way on a tank of fuel, or about 100L...loaded or empty. :) Shops looking good with addition, I remember how tight it was from when I was down there picking up...

    What are you working on?

    Well my youngest daughter decided she wanted to move to the big city so she found a job, and then an older woman looking for someone to be joint tenants on her basement suit. So the wife and I made a 1750Km round trip in Ol' Patches pulling my car trailer to move all her stuff a week or so ago.

    World's record price for this Nova?

    Unfortunetly a lot of these high end performance cars are now in the hands of car dealers and their pricing is generally way higher then what the market would support.

    Next up on “What the hell is that?”

    I pulled one out of my 71 Chrysler 300 parts car I had years ago...have it here somewhere.

    Whatever happened to header mufflers?

    Wouldn't header muffler just exacerbate the clearance issues under the car?

    Well, shit

    Mental note if you are leaving a car on a lift in an area that might get hit with a high storm surge...toss on some chains or straps to secure it to the lift. ;)

    shop hvac assist?

    I have very little understanding of HVAC stuff but I think your heater might be to old to have this function. You might have to put in a gas line shut off valve, either manual or electric then wire it through the T-stat so when you select the Fan function it will shut off the igniter and gas?

    Undecided on this one

    I love the tractor, but the more modern V8 just doesn't suit it...I think it detracts from the overall esthetics of the machine. I think an old V8 Flathead or more period correct V8, maybe a Buick Nailhead would suit it better. But at least it doesn't have a Fram filter on it! 😄
