Add me to the "I have no clue WTF you are talking about" bunch.
What ever this guy is complaining about certainly doesn't go on around here!
As for comments about the Search Button; yes, it could cut down on repetitive questions, but available "performance options"
do change periodically, - and sometimes we haven't heard about all the "new stuff"!
To that end: Hey
bigcat; based on your SN and avatar; I believe I have managed to acquire a vehicle somewhat like yours. (NoKitten owed us money on repairs to his '99 Cougar, and paid it off by signing over the '73 XR7 to us). So, as I find myself once again (25 years later) "finishing out" a smogger Cleveland
; and wouldn't mind some
slightly more current tech ideas!
Specifically: 1.) The original Motocraft 2150 carb has gone away in favor of a 600CFM Holley 4160 - with a "4 into two" funnel-shaped spacer plate sandwiched between the carb and the OEM smogger 2bbl intake. Looking for (again, the
most current) ideas on a good intake for 2bbl heads.
2,) Also, the timing chain. Standard replacement? Or maybe one with multiple crank index keyways to advance the cam timing somewhat to get back the pre-73 torque?
Comparing most of what I read recently to what I learned back in '81; I'm finding out that the 25-year-old information is pretty much useless.
