All good info, thanks for the tips. I have a 68 350 that came with a 2 barrel. I'm wondering if there was a difference between two and four barrel cables and/or pedal assy. The previous owner put in a different 350 with a quadrajet and when I bought it, he said it never did make a whole bunch of power. Found with the pedal to the floor, it just fell short of starting to open the secondaries. Might be something to check.
I belong to the Alamo Area chapter. There is about an even split of 1st Gens and GTOs here. The newer members of the club have later 2nd Gens and now 3rd Gens. With that said overall membership is down as many of our members sell their cars and/or age out. I last had my car at the convention in 2013 or 2014. My cars are more show quality and so I generally only take them to local shows where I know the roads I’m taking.
SOLD! I do have two more 68 Pontiac quadrajets for sale if interested. Both have been stored for 30 years and are in excellent shape, with nothing warped or stripped. One is a 7028262 by Carter with original round tag with P/N on it in place, the other is a 7028264 Rochester, both professionally cleaned and rebuilt and ready to be installed. I'm asking $900 for the 62, and $1250 for the 64, contact me if interested.
Hey- I ran the Body tag analyzer and got confirmation on all my options- but tried to respond to the request for more information but I keep getting the spinning wheel of death/ wont send. So I thought I'd add it here- I ran the body tag analyzer and 3 D came back as unknown. All the other options were present on the car- including the fold down rear seat, which I didn't even realize was there! Anyways- the only other options that the car has that I can think of that might be "D" were: Deluxe steering wheel, power top, Boot Cover for top, And it had the PMD hubcaps. I will try and attach build sheet-
Obviously the only way to truly know what is inside is to drop the cover and count teeth. But I would trust the codes unless something did not add up. Like a supposed 3:08 rear that made the engine run at 5000rpm in high gear. The high gear ratios I posted would be used with an overdrive transmission with lock-up converter. OP: what tranny is in it? The Tahoe would be a 4L60E four speed with overdrive. As for the great body work vs the shadetree mechanicals, I have never seen a body man who was a good mechanic and vice versa. They are two different skills and it would be a unique person that could do both well. That said, I know many Spanish guys that do incredible body work and painting. They have a really good eye for that. When I was in Ft. Bliss many GI's drove across the border into Juarez for some paint work. One of my buddies from Detroit had a 1970 Bonneville. They not only made it look brand new, they did the interior in leather. Very inexpensive too.
Thanks BC. I like the recommendations. Decided to go with the sniper 1 as it won't require changing out the intake manifold or an adapter plate. There's a little for play as the RA pan has couple inch foam cushion for fit to the hood. In-tank pump like you suggested and new fuel lines has been ordered up also
Hi all, I’m looking for a 1967 Firebird resto project. I plan on doing a ground up restoration. Convertible preferably. Please reach out and contact me with any leads you might have or anything that you may come across. Thank you, S. Quinn
Sometimes the springs on the idle mixture screws get weak, or just vibrate out. Try adjusting the mixture screws. Doesn't sound like a spark or timing issue.
