Dan.....us Wildcats are gonna have fun this summer :3gears: I look forward to seeing you soon :TU: Peace WildBill
I am off to Automotive Machine and Performance tomorrow and we will be running it in on the dyno saturday morning.It has been stored for the last 4 years so i thought i should rotate it upside down a few times to wash all the internals with oil. I add the custom aluminum spacers my friend Bill Pavey made for me to clear the T/A roller rockers:TU: An Accel street billet distributor and a set or Taylor wires are finally in place...... is the challenge still on Ted :Brow: I cannot wait to hear this BIG BLOCK BUICK...ROAR to life.p p p p p p p p Peace WildBill
Lookin' good!:TU: It would be interesting to see if that 66 air cleaner affects performance on the dyno (can you test it?:Brow: ) When I did some 1/4 mile testing on my blue car with the Q-jet, that air cleaner, with a new Fram element, slowed me down 6 tenths!:eek2: I heard you can flip the element up-side down to leave a gap at the lid to let in more air. Good luck!:beers2:
Everything went PERFECT at Automotive Machine and Performance during the dyno break-in and tuning power pulls. Anyone want to guess what this motor produced p A dyno tune by AMP is the single best thing you can do with your new Buick motor before you put it in your ride....especially if it's been sitting for 6 YEARS ! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: More soon...... Peace WildBill
Walt, i will most likely modify my cleaner and drill nickle sized holes just outside and around the filter element in the base so that i will have basically an open element. It will be drawing hot air off the top of the motor but it should not affect performance too much....motor should run cool on pump gas:3gears: Peace WildBill
WildBill,I won't put a guess on the numbers(altough I want to know:Brow: )but I'll say that it'll look sweeet doing them.
I want to know where you got that over drive kit for your tranny? Do they make it for every model? I have a 70 Wildcat. I need to plate my Wildcat this year, it's been sitiing for to long.
Here's my custom made stainless valve cover bolts for clearing the billet 1/2 inch spacers......these mount the NAPA 4-wire looms.You can see the bolt i started with to the left..... These looms easily mount the 8.2MM Taylor Thundervolt wires(USA made:TU: ) that i am running. Peace WildBill
MOTORVATION for the NEXT CHALLENGE :grin: More progress shots soon.......i just pulled out my dashpad....it has not seen the light of day for 19 years :eek2: .....it is perfect Peace WildBill
STOP THIS MADNESS! I will never get my Cat on the road,and if I do I will never drive anywhere so people won't come up to me and say....." I have seen a WHOLE LOT BETTER then that thing!" Keep posting the pictures guys! They look beautiful! :eek2: :TU:
