1975 Plastic fantastic aka Corvette

but for a carb base gasket, I'd be done

Someone actually uses that gasket?

[SuperBuickGuy]

the combination plastic/silicone intake gasket didn't handle sneezes well....

[Deaf Bob]

Old intake must be bad? Or a combo of stuff?

[SuperBuickGuy]

this car runs sooooo much better! it fixed all its problems (woohoo)...

[Whelk]

so, since the Sledanette is awaiting parts, and no one seems interested in it...

Watching the Sedanette thread closely. I'm learning a lot that I hope to apply to my DeSoto, especially the suspension work.

I truly love the airbox you fabbed up. Wish I had the space to learn metalworking.

I think it's the same height - I closed the hood with the fuel injection setting on the manifold and it didn't hit; nor did it hit when I pushed down in the center of the scoop; so I think it's good-to-go (yeah, highly scientific method, eh?)

[milner351]

how's the hood clearance with the air gap manifold?

[SuperBuickGuy]

It is amazing what happens when you remove about 8lbs of lead from your right foot. Sounds about right for driving it like you stole it.

either that or a car that's developing a severe vacuum leak. Of course, that would require reading the prior post about the blown intake gaskets (along with accompanying photos)...



about the only thing I can figure with those gaskets is it backfired while the throttle blades were closed... ah well, live and learn.

answering the challenge of every revved up Prius in Seattle WA!



7 ? Holy shit. Seven. Yeah, I'm kinda with Admirall2 there... that thing on the right is not an on/off switch!! haha. Enjoy it.

I've been driving the wheels off the Corvette - so no worries about that, it's getting something like 7 mpg so it does like its gas

[Beagle]

attention whore. How's the Fiat?

gasahol sucks. I've been finding gummy bears in float bowls of carbs for anything with over 6 month old gas in it.

Very interested in it, just don't feel a need to post every time I view the thread, besides, you shot down my hydraulics suggestion.

What he said. :-)
