I was sitting in the cab with a small digital recorder so the audio kind of sucks.

That isn't a "For Sale" price written on the windshield is it? Sounds good!

that pic was taken before I bought it. I took a camera along and snapped some shots and went home to look at them and think it over awhile. so far with everything I have had to do and put up with it hasnt really been worth it. I hope I start to see better days with it soon.

I have had over 40 cars & trucks, all but a handful have been older stuff. There are always "issues" to resolve - worth it? I would take even the worst one of them back.

Big Trip, I have been running a 600 cfm Holley model 1850 carb on my 460 for years. It works ok, but the engine never had a lot of zip to it. I attribute that to retarded cam timing and the usual factory emissions intake manifold and dizzy. I have plans to get all that dialed in with a double roller early model timing set from Cloyes, and a non EGR aluminum intake, and a Cam change timed straight up. I heard you mention in the Video about a 750 carb that had been on yours.
I had been considering a 750 with vacuum secondaries. Should flow better without that big accelerator pump on the back two. Personally I always liked the double pumpers for their throttle response, but not the best choice for fuel mileage. I have my 460 in a 56 Ford pickup with 2.76 rear gears and it gets 15-16 mpg on the highway with the 600. Just not a zippy combination as far as performance. TR

between the people constantly complaining and vandals slashing my tires THEN they are calling the cops because it has flat tires.... then I cant afford to put money into it because all my money goes to tires.

right now as it is I have the cloyes true double roller timing chain installed straight up. a weiand stealth non egr intake and a HEI ignition. the 600 cfm is the 1850 the 750 is a 3310 that has a few tricks put in it.
the 750 made a lot more power but seems to foul the plugs and make it backfire

I changed the plugs and put the 600 on and it runs really well. maybe I just need to tune the 750 alittle better but no matter what I did it seemed to only backfire more and not want to run right. its all trial and error anyway, right? lol

I think I am going to try my 750 edelbrock with the mechanical secondaries as soon as I can get it back.

BT that sucks! Do ya know who is doing it? Sounds like they definitely need an attitude adjustment. You must have to park it outside, eh. I used to have some vandals in my area, too. They loved to break windows. Had several car windshields broken by them, and cops wouldn't do anything. Said I had to get them on video to prove it. Got any mean dogs? Sounds like you have gone the way I plan to on yours.
I will try the 600 that I have on it after the mods, and also a 4776 DP 600 that I have. Might be worth a try. Hope you catch the jackasses ruining your tires. TR

I looked out of my window the other night and saw a white car pulling up to my truck. then they saw me watching and drove off. I think they just roll up and lean out of the window. anyway I took the beast over to a friends house for a while. the cops here wouldnt even take a report when they slashed my slick. I saw the car and they told me to get a tag number next time.

Posted: **December 25, 2007, 12:28 pm**

They won't even take a report? Send the bill to the city for the tires with explanation that if they don't want stop them they can pay for the tires ie: neglegance - I would. I would also note that if didn't pay the bill I would turn it over for collection. After all the rest of us have to do our jobs.

Posted: **December 25, 2007, 12:34 pm**

lol I have lost alot of tires in the past two years. I wish I had a way to figure out a total cost and bill the city. I wonder if I should ask if I can start parking in the cops secured lot with the cruisers.

Sorry to here about your troubles and the lack of help from the cops.Now if your name was Paris we would of seen them being arrested on tv over here!

sounds good. I run a 3310 which I bought new on mine, it was really rich out of the box, I dont think holley sent one to denver that was calibrated for altitude. lol so I jetted it down two and it leaned out way too much. so I went back up one I believe it came with 72 and it now has a 70 because I dont think there was a 71 available. I wish I could actually drive mine now, and wish I could get my sound on the video I made as clear as yours is. im thinking its the cheap wires on a MSD ignition lol
anyways heres mine

Going back clear into the 70s here, Holleys were always rich out of the box. Except that is the 4180 that comes on the 85 GTs, set lean burn new. I need to rebuild that carb before spring, with my Flowmaster catback and the K&N filter I should probably go up a jet size or 2 though, ya think?
