Default 71 T/A on Velocity

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.......

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?

Those SD carbs are pretty HEAVY with all that emmissions CRAP on them....

Try one from a LATE 70's 301,they are bigger & should flow some better #'s than the SD carb.

Good thought. The SD SR carb is nicely calibrated right out of the box. Check total timing and verify that the centrifugal advance is working as well.

Good luck!
