The motor has ran great, just had some smoke here and there and some consumption. It does not even have 1000 miles on it. I drove again yesterday for another 50 miles and drove it hard. She is running great! Hell i think there should be a infomercial for Bonami.

I feel i was to gentle during the break in procedure, i used Sealed power standard gap plasma-moly kit. #R9903.:-({|=

I plan on going on a nice long drive today, the motor only has about 900 miles on it.

I took a 1/4 teaspoon and with the throttle held at 2000 i slowly sprinkled into the carb. Closed the hood and drove it like i stole it for a half hour. It has never not smoked since rebuilding, now its fabulous!:happy1:

Well as a last ditch effort i figured why not, and i havae done some research on other peoples results and found quite a bit of positive.

Well another success story with Bonami, not even a 1/4 teaspoon down the carburetor and oil consumption and slight smoking gone! What a great way to solve the problem. I have doubted this in the past but figured what the heck, gave it a shot and worked wonderful. Thanks Bonami!:cheers:

Hello Rick, the list # off the air horn are as follows 80457-9 0532 Don't know if the bottom one means anything.

Hey Rick, i didnt get a chance to get back out to the shop last night, helping thhe kiddo with science fair project. Anyhow, i will get the numbers off the air horn around noonish and post. Thanks again.

The vacuum at idle in drive is right at 12, i went from a 6.5pv to a 8.5. Yes i think after work today i will try and tinker with a heavier secondary spring.

Yes Rick, my vacuum is at 12-12.5 at idle, in drive. It does feel more balanced out on a 1/3 throttle take off now with the 8.5 power valve. Is this a typical result? Also could I go fatter on the jetting you think? And finally, I have looked at purchasing the metering plate adapter for the...

Rick i went with your thoughts on this, i had a 6.5 pv in which according to the vaccum method is correct. However when the secondaries came in it was way..way.. to noticable, like something was missing before hand. I installed a 8.5 and put my primarys from a 67 back to a 68 and wow! What a...

Not really a problem, just trying to better things. Like it seems to me even with the lightest spring for the secondaries they still open a bit late, like 3,300 to 3,500, i would like to be a little earlier. Also should i need to change the metering plates accordingly to primary jet changes. The...

Hello, so i am trying to get my new carb dialed in, i have went from 65 primary jets to 67, I have also put the quick change cover for the secondary springs on. Holley says you should not have a "seat of the pants feeling" when the secondaries open, and by god thats what i have. I also am...

Man I am in the same boat, my filter is at a 45 though, 360 motor, melling pump, same symptoms as you.

This is a car that sat for a....long time. On the lighting side of things i have been able to fix all but the turn signals. Have not worked since i hooked up the battery.

its the individual turn signals. Is that to just a 2 prong flasher? I thought the 4 way was a 2 prong and the turn signals were a 3?

Hello folks, well i have read a ton of stuff on the forum, my 4-ways work fine. I have looked for the other flasher and cannot find it. Next to the ashtray, by the radio, glove box, EVERYWHERE! There is a 3 pin plug hanging to the left of the ashtray. It has 2 pink wires doubled into 1. 2...

Hmmm... i had questioned the convertor as well and wished i had more stall.

Thanks for your thoughts, i wanted a different intake but i picked the heads and the intake up for $100, but i have been looking for a rpm or air gap, 750dp huh, i have a buddy who has one of those that i believe is up for sale!

Thats a good thought there Moper, i will give that a shot, quick work and a test drive, will let you know how it goes. Most likely wont be till the weekend due to our wind and rain storm. Thanks though.

Thanks man, really enjoying it so far!

I will check that out after work Rick and get back to you, thanks.

Ok, so i should have stated that i had taken measurements, and the only thing i was missing or failed to do was to c.c. chheck the heads as they were not the ones originally on the motor. So to the people that want to keep raggin on me great, enjoy yourselves, i am sure you are all mechanical...

I went with the TF-2 as well and works great, not to bad of a install. Lokar cables made setting the T.V. pressure a breeze. Cheap and easy set-up!

Thanks robbie, will check it out!

Hello Rick, yeah the heads have a casting # of 3418915 if that helps. I know I should have c.c. them but hey, if that's the only mistake I made I feel like I did ok. The rearend is the peanut 7 1/4" with 2.76, I am thinking of changing that to a 3.91 ratio when I come up with the 8.25 or 8.75...

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, i have all of the measurements for doing the compression calc. except the cc.volume on the heads. But was just curious on others thoughts.

Hello folks, well i built my first motor, and just curious what your thoughts on my horsepower and compression might be??? Its a 1973 360 out of a motorhome, i did a rebuild and these are my specs. KB107 pistons. COMP.XE268 cam, lifters, pushrods and double spring kit all shimmed within .004...

:violent2:Tried the kicking method already, even tried both feet!!!

I will give it a go after work. On a better note i did pull the transmission back out, did my first 727 rebuild, and she works great, ran the lokar T.V. cable, and Lokar universal throttle cable. Will let you know if and what it took to get the door open. GRrrrrr.
