They're long out of print but you might try to find a Holley 6708. It's a special-purpose 650 DP that has big-'n'-little butterflies. I used one on a tinkered-with 302 in a '72 E-150 and it did excellently on the h'-way. You can modulate with your foot and stay out of the secondaries, but have a little extra when you need it. And I agree with Jay regarding the regular instead of RPM manifold. And there's too much of the band-aid to the odd-ball designs.

FWIW, it was very common to 'solidify' hyd. cams 'back in the day'. They sold kits for the purpose. And beware of the 'Roger Huntington syndrome'. Roger was a very prolific writer some years ago, but he was confined to a wheelchair and a great deal of what he offered in print was something he was told or something he thought he heard. There were massive amounts of B-S disseminated because of his limitations. If you report on what you did it's all good but you must, as a reader, question whatever a writer 'heard'. JMO!!

Please note that I have moved and must deal with this truck in the next few days. If a solution doesn't present itself in short order, I'll remove the Hot Rod parts listed and scrap the rest. It may not be obvious but all the panels are in good enough shape that nothing needs to be replaced. Some degree of patching might be necessary due to pin holes. I drove the truck off the street into the garage in order to start the front suspension work.

Make an offer!!   Thanx!!

It looks to me as if Borla is simply re-packaging a bunch of hardware. That's a Weber down-draught manifold---available from various sources. And the injector bodies have been around for years. I wouldn't be at all surprised at all to find out that you could assemble the same deal at a considerable savings.

That's what we always called a 'wall' job. Park it over by the wall until it fixes itself!

In '68, I was newly back at T&C Livonia after graduating with an AB in Chemistry. I was in a Grad Trainee program with Quality Control and pulled a six-month stint of acting as a tech on the C-6 test stands. There were a couple of dozen of them in two rows backed up to a central engine room. The engines were all 428s and were run on propane---or one of the other propane-series natural gasses. Each of the otherwise-about-stock engines had the gas-regulator on top where the carb should have been. Otherwise they had CJ internals and some one of the factory solid cams and also CJ exhaust manifolds. There was one full-time guy responsible for keeping everything running. Everything said above regarding clean-running and anti-knock seemed to be true.

Jay---

If this stuff was easy, everybody would be doing it. You are a STAR!!!

You have a giant start on next year. And just on the off chance that you haven't realized it, you are the pinnacle!

It's a pleasure to know you and read your journal.

I have a very freely admitted bias AGAINST Manley since I equate Manley with chibrolay. And, much more important, I have had very good relations with Ferrea over the years.

Might I suggest that you relay your flow information to Ferrea? Since this forum is, without doubt, THE place for technical information regarding the Cammer engine, I'd believe that they would be anxious to work with you to create a superior product.

Just a thought!
