Summit delivers again

Summit delivers again

Yes sir. Proper tracking announcements and everything.

What do you think about this guy? Sounds like a bearing squeaking. It's at a dealer it sounds like he might not know much detail on it's history. With the current market I don't think he's too far off on price. I'm thinking in the current market high $30's would be decent price. I'd really like more details on the engine build.

I tried to link a couple of videos with the pictures. Not sure if I did it correctly, they work for me

Could be on my end then.

 

[ws6guy]

I linked the videos on my google drive but when I logged out of google drive the videos don't work. Not sure how to upload videos

I need one of your carb guys on speed dial... I only have one IRL friend that knows carbs and he won't answer his phone...

Kinda hotrod related: have a pressure washer my dad gave me a few years back. Just now trying to get it running and the carb was filled with what I assume is now varnish. It was disgusting and green.

Cleaned it out, put it back together, and the float won't float anymore. What's my fix? It's a round donut looking float. I have no idea if these are common or proprietary.

Make/Model etc and get on Amazon. Carbs are cheap. Rebuild kits the same if available.
sid you clear the oriface in the jets. Some have 1 main jet others have a pilot or low speed jet and then the main or high speed.

That's a nice car but there are SO many clean restorations and concourse cars floating around out there that it just isn't my thing. To contrast; there's a 69 Z28 (or possibly clone) running around the southside occasionally that is obvious is either a barn find rough original or a very old restoration. The paint is dead, there's primer and surface rust peaking thru etc. But when you pay attention to it you notice the stance, performance tires at all 4 corners, big brakes, thumpin' exhaust and neatly tucked in cage. Nothing about this car screams FAST except to the semi-trained eye and given the upgrades he's done I'd LOVE to take this car for a lap on the Schweinefiletring just once.




Just kidding, I'd lap that thing until I'd racked up enough points to be escorted to the state line and told to never return!


As an aside, the wife and I finished reinstalling the rear windshield in the Gal yesterday (among other things). While prepping for the reinstall we found that the "50+ years experience" windshield guy not only didn't use any bedding compound but he also installed the gasket backwards. Just another example in a long train of "I should have done it myself" failures.

I keep looking that one and it does seem dang nice but color is killing for me

Here's a gold on gold that usually I wouldn't even think about but damn this one is clean. I've asked him which engine it has as i believe they put 2 different 327's in these. I'd much rather have a manual, how much do you think I'm looking at to do the swap? Looks like the "kits" out there are around $3k-$4 but I would assume sourcing non-kit parts it would be around $2k.

Its definitely loaded with options.
They offered any of maybe 4 or more 327's from 250 HP 275HP 300HP and the one I would love to have the L-79 350HP offering that would (in proper tune) run with the BB offerings of the day.

Also checking with him to see if it is disk or drum as I don't see a booster. In the last week he's went from $36k to $32500 so he must be looking to move it. Everything seems to straight as can be on it and the limited pics of the underside it looks like you could eat off of it. Hopefully it's has one of the higher output 327's.

I would not put a T-400 behind a factory power level T-400. They are power hungry compared to the T-350 and the T-350 is faster due to this. Seen it a zillion times.
But you are likely never to hurt the T-400 no matter how you assault it.

The kits would be the way to go unless you have an exact list of every piece and part needed to make the swap down to the thrust bearing in the crank that carry's the input shat nose. The shifter/console parts etc.
Does the kit come with a new or reman. 4 speed. Thats a huge thing. Sourcing a used box can cost more in the long run.

The car looks solid and well kept. Even money he paid $28 for it and is flipping. Just like ammo these guys are leeches.
