Looking for an Edelbrock 2962 intake manifold for an SB2.2

Specialty Fasteners, Chino Ca. stock ARP.

apm I found a solid flat tappet 236@ 050 with a .344" lobe and ex 247@ 050 with a .338" lobe on 108. The inlet @.200
is 149 and ex is 154 @.200" I'll give it a try

frnkeore, that would be Ed Obrien that you were thinking of. He was an electrical contractor from the San Diego area
He spent a lot of money on Danny before Ted Field took over the cheque writing duties

apm I can get a .340" lobe, 236 @ 050" inlet on a 108 lsa, would you give that a crack ?

Thanks for the replies Vehicle should weigh somewhere around 3000-3100 lbs Converter is just a factory stall at present, but I have one off a V6 commodore, that i'll get in there at some stage, which should get the stall speed around the 3000 mark, plus a lighter rotating weight The transmission has...

OK I'm trying to piece a 308 together, It will have a 3.48" Come crankshaft and +.030" bore, Racetech flat top pistons with some dish, to arrive at 10:1 comp ratio, and 6" Manley rods. The heads are HZ, with a 1.950" inlet valve, and a 1.550" exhaust. They flow 220 @.600&quo...

What does the head flow at .750" with the manifold attached ?

He had it repaired, luckily he had enough insurance on the thing to achieve this. They had to lift the body off, as it had collapsed through the dogleg bends behind the suspension arms and before where the frame runs straight under the sills. The repair shop wanted to put another frame in it but the...

In Summary on this, replaced the DPFE and the speed sensor on the diff, cleared the codes, and it's been ok since

On a 454 in an old 1982 Dually, I'm wondering what advance curve would be best for the thing. It has the original HEI distributor, and I have a Crane adjustable vacuum diaphragm kit to fit to it. Still fitted with the original Quadrajet carb, has Edelbrock performer 2.0 manifold, a Jones Hyd' cam, 2...

Tony, at what power/torque figure do you think requires 4 bolt caps and filled water jacket on a Holden block ?

Possibly Durabond 19501L or GMP-1-1 Could it be a Haigh block ?

OK thanks for all the info. I replaced the DPFE with a Motorcraft one from a Ford dealer, and so far that code hasn't returned. Racer, is that tone wheel inside the diff housing, that the sensor reads ? I checked the speed sensor to see if had an output signal, which it does, but not that the signal...

Yes it does have a 351 engine. Does that DPFE sensor need to be coded to the vehicle after it is installed ?
No I'm not in the USA, we're on the other side of the Pacific, but shouldn't be an issue to get one off the
