Keep us posted. I may have lost mine

Nice to see Chip Foose give a little LOVE to a 71 T/A tonight on ; American Icon - The Muscle Car. the segment featured a Blue on Blue, Custom Interior, 4-Speed A/C car. it's claimed to be an original un-restored survivor????... anybody here know the car?????

it sure did look good in HD on the Flat Screen.......

Only way to tell the difference is the thickness of the metal where the washer bolt comes through. You can see it in your pics. The repro one may be a bit better having it thicker...probably stronger. A great reproduction.

The SD guys have had their forum going for a while now & it's working well so it's time for the FASTER round port 455 motor to have it's OWN forum.

Back in 2007, 2manyTA's started this 455 HO forum. I like his quote, as I too, have been kicking this around for some time. I feel the time is right for our round port, 455-HO engine have a place on the web all its own. By no means do I know everything 455-HO, so I'll need your help.

Introducing......

www.455-HO.com

I am no web master, heck I barely know what I'm doing with this site. I'm putting this out there to hold myself accountable to keep this venture going....so please bear with me as I am learning as I go. LMK what ya think!

GREAT IDEA!

You should post a link in the 70-73 Firebird section........Let the SD guys know,as well.

Most of them don't come here because they ALWAYS get SPANKED!

Also 70-72 GTO section.......?

Sounds to me like your secondaries aren't opening on the HO???? (or your wife is driving it?)

Have you got Cliff's book on Q-jets?

2many,

I'm thinking valve springs..... could be carb though, you have a valid piont. Maybe I sould experment with the extra SR SD carb I have, just to be sure....

Any other thoughts...... anyone......

have someone else floor the pedal (engine off of course) while you make sure the pedal alone will open them too. Might be the linkage is not adjusted right or that there is too much insulation or padding under the pedal.
