Re: Chevy 327 Tunnel Ram Idling To Fast When Started
linkage needs to be gone over carefully, maybe disconnect the linkage from each carb leaving a functional return spring for each, I don't know anything about the choke and fast idle setup for that type carb but tinker with them one carb at a time, obviously check the base gaskets for vacuum keaks

Re: Low RPM Mark VI 454 Intake and Cam Choices?
how do the exhaust manifolds from a C60 type 427 truck compare to pickup manifolds? manifolds are going to hurt power in the mid range compared to long tube headers

Re: dished piston quench height?
most replacement pistons have reduced compression height to account for decked heads and block, if those are stock bore you might use a straight edge ruler and feeler gauge to find out what you have

Re: Another oil bypass question.
people are reluctant to use the oem filter adapter because it looks cheesy, they feel for the money invested in their engine, it deserves a billet piece, do boats have room for the truck size filter? are there any of those independent tests that have measured the flow for the big filter?
