In one of my previous posts you will find part numbers and photos.

Note, i should have said you have to use a drop base baseplate with the single snorkel top cover. I have a holley base quickfuel carb and use a drop base with the top cover, this leaves an open annulus under the top cover because it is larger than the baseplate, although the filter still works.

mine was a 440 to start with. Hood clearance is close with the performer rpm with the stock single snorkel housing, but do-able. I can only use a 1/2" spacer under my carb

After sleeping on it, I was turned around. The "T" connector ties to the door pin wires, so it must be a buzzer of some sort. The Black and red "V" connector is the turn signal flasher. The other pink/whit connector is the hazard flasher. And as Big_John said above, the odd 3 blade...

Thanks gents! I suspected i was looking for something that the precious owner deleted. However, the mystery deepens, i found another connector, that calls into question what i thought i knew. The pink and yellow T-shaped connector looks like it could be a flasher connecror per my wiring...

I Know this is a c-body forum, but i happen to be working on my 1969 satellite, and found a connector i cannot identify. The single connector, i believe goes to the light above the ignition key, but the weird 3-prong one has me stumped. Maybe a non-existant buzzer or something?

Put the trans in 2nd, let it 1-2 shift, come out of the burnout box in 2nd before you let off.

I am not sure how to state their durability more plainly than my post above. I have absolutely pounded on my car, year round, with a big motor, locking differential and sticky tires on the street and strip. The green bearings are great.

The green bearings are not a "downgrade" as i have stated and shown many, many times before. I drive my car daily, long distance, and harder than most, year round with a big stroker motor and a detroit locking differential, and drag race it frequently with sticky tires. Never a problem. If...

Forgot to mention that although "completely stock" i did swap to the open chamber heads way back in college, as my brother ran it out of water and cracked the factory closed chamber heads. It still smoked the tires for days.

Before you do anything, put as much timing in it as it will take, when my 66 newyorker was stock with its 440, with 2:76 gears, it would burn tires for days, completely stock.

I cut an old pushrod in half and removed a section then double nutted a piece of threaded rod so i could adjust it up and down. Then ordered custom smith brothers pushrods.

I have mentioned this before, but do not hesitate to install the green bearings. I am around 10-ish years on mine with a detroit locker and drag radials, plus street driven thousands of miles. Note: I grenaded a truetrac, before installing the detroit locker, it still never hurt the green...

Sounds like water, or moisture in the fuel, or condensation under distributor cap

Remember, i drive this car year round, i just drove it to work this morning, 30 miles one way. I drive it to the drag strip 80+miles one way, and i take the girlfriend out tofancy dinners in it. It makes all the gals at the lodge jealous. It has great throttle response, tons of torque and...
