66 Chevelle SS 427
|
I grew up living down the
street from a guy that had a 67 Chevelle. It was primered with rally wheels and
dual exhaust. not much when you think about it in today's standards, but when
your 16 it's a different story. Ever since then I have had an interest in owning
one but something sort of over the top. I didn't want a 40k show car but
something I could play with, drive and have fun in. And so I found one and here
it is. |

| I have not run the car down 1/4 mile...been
too busy with other projects. I run 114 Octane in it and have it timed at 38BTDC. I get
my fuel from the great folks at Speedware
MotorSports in Redmond. Since I bought it I have changed the tires, put new
exhaust on it and installed a larger fuel cell with sending unit. The original 8
gallon cell didn't get you very far. Listen
to a clip of it running.

Looking dirty, I decided to clean and paint my 1150. I used high-heat paint and metal prep. I disassembled the carb completely...painted the bowls and the main block. It turned out well and you can see on the engine page. |
