Z train

To take Carls post one further..it is a simple matter to make a 280 dizzy driven by a MSD 6AL or the like.Also the box can be hidden under-hood or under the dash.Can electronic modules fail?Of course.But not with the frequency suggested here. Points are,well....completely point-less.Dinosaur technology that has no place on a street driven vehicle in 2008.Points(vs electronic)provide poor starts,poor fuel economy,dirtier idle and erratic timing.

R-12s"effects" on the ozone are THEORY-no proof what-so-ever. No side effects. COMPLETELY harmless. Now lets look at R-134A: PROVEN corrosive PROVEN carcinogen And proven inferior in retro-fits. Here's a poser for you all:Who took R-12 off the market?

134a is inferior to R-12 in every single measurable way.

This is patently false.

The Cleveland is still considered a small block.The FE & the 385 series(429/460) are Fords big blocks.Putting a SBC in a Z actually improves weight bias.A Cleveland would send to to hell.

351 Clevelands are great engines.However,they have the dimensions of a big block and weigh a ton.The car would wallow like a pig thru turns.

Nice try.You forgot to say that they look like that AFTER you shave them.

Sorry,folks-but extending the pipe is a band-aid fix.Some thing else is wrong.My pipe is dead even with the bumper and i have no fume issues at ALL.Fuel or exhaust related.

Short of pulling the rear.drop the oil and fill it with 140 weight gear lube.Never telling what the PO put in there.

Define"should perform even better" with an SU TBI

Too bad we didn't get to see the vain in Steinbrenners forehead explode when the Yankees lost again before his (other) health issues removed him form the front office.He,more than anyone else is responsible for the decline of MLB.

Someone,actually two people with more money than brains.:stupid:

Not to worry.This country will not elect a female,a muslim,a black,a jew or a mormon.Or any combination of the above. So what does that leave us with?

To use the vernacular-pu$$y make ya STUPID!

i wish there was a glut of 620 stuff.

If $$$ is no object,then Triples-no question the best performer.If $$$ IS a consideration,then SUs.A Holley is a last resort(got-it-sitting-on-the-shelf and really don't care about doing it right):stupid:

:stupid:That would be a good case to plead insanity.

nothing looks more bitchin' than a CLEAN black Z.And nothing looks worse than a dirty black Z.Black is a whore to take care of.

What Mr.Scanlon said,AND.......get a new husband:ermm:

O.K.maybe i shoulda left out the "completely".And ,sorry to dis-appoint but i can't give you any technical info only personal experience and some info passed on from Bob Sharp racing. And the obvious question-if the Flats are so bitchin' why does "everybody" ditch when they are able to?

While the performance of "flattops/Hitachis/whatever"can be dramatically improved,they are still inferior(completely) to a PROPERLY set up pair of "roundtops/SUs/Three screws/whatever".

Sarah-have you been to the Midnight Rodeo?

Get a set of SUs complete.Remove Hitachis(manifold & all).Store the Hitachis and use the SUs. I have a SU manifold minus everything except the x-over tube.
