  10. i bought the intake and carb thanks for the homework you did for me.when i pulled the intake off i thought about headers like you said i got hedman block huggers they look somewhat stock then then the bad thought more cam i swiched to 304 duration 480 480 this time idid somthing wrong with the timing both gears are at 12 and godzilla will not start. what steps did i miss?? the first time i borrowed a haynes manual that covered 73 lemans. i didnt think i needed it this time. i dont want to be the guy who killed a 73 lemans. i f@cked up the timing
  11. where ar these swap meets here in georgia all the swap meets are full of chevy parts when you find some pontiac parts you need the price doesnt include a reach around. i heard about a all second gen firebird junkyard in tennese. 300 miles from atlanta.
  12. thank you for the info. i started out with 10,500$. 1973 lemans 2500$ parts from summit 300$ slightly used firestone wide ovals 200$ at a flea market. godzilla runs real good now. on the bottom end the holley two barrel didnt help the top end like i thought it would. what is best eldebrock and holley four barrel or iron and quadrajet. do i change the 3.08 posi the original owner had put in for 3.23 ? 3.55? the goal is go to the track an beat the snot out of my next door neighbors 1970 camaro SS396 that runs 13.60 @104
