    What did you do to your C-body today....

    Which hoist did you get, @cbarge ? Please share photos of the assembly and let us know how it goes. I hope to get one myself one day and am very interested in your experience.

    440 TNT rebuild

    The 440 in my '67 300 was recently rebuilt with flat-top pistons. It's bored .030 over and has 516 casting heads. Stock CR was around 10:1 and I am thinking it's about that after the rebuild. Timing at WOT is 33 degrees; cruise timing is 42 degrees at around 2500 rpm. On 93 octane pump gas...

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    The shop that did my restoration bought it. This would have been around Spring of 2023.

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    Here are two photos of my painted spacer/gasket sandwich. Also, if you look carefully at the top of the studs, you can see the Allen wrench holes. BTW, I drove the car to the post office yesterday. On the way there water temp was 188+- two degrees and MAT stayed between 98 & 100. OAT was...

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    I had some time and looked at my data logs. I couldn't find logs with exactly the same outside air temp (OAT) and driving events for before and after installing the spacer, but I did find one event that was illustrative. I guess I could have recorded some data logs for before to make an apples...

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    I have data logs of before and after the spacer, so I can check the temperatures and get back to you. Give me a day or two. (BTW this is a nice feature of the Sniper: you can log hot/cold start, idle, accel, cruise, etc. data to include temps, timing, RPM, throttle position, vacuum, and so...

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    I just put a 1/4" phenolic spacer on my '67 300 (440 with a 4-bbl Holley Sniper EFI; luckily the spacer and gaskets were commercially available). I noticed results such as a lower intake charge temp (manifold air temp), so I am hopeful your new spacer will help you. Two suggestions: 1. Paint...

    What did you do to your C-body today....

    Removed the 4-hole 1/4" phenolic carb spacer from between the Holley Sniper and Edelbrock Performer on the 440 in my 300 and replaced it with a 1/4" open spacer. The 4-hole wasn't bad, but the open spacer really improved idle quality, throttle response and overall driveability. I don't have...
