I have Schumacher tri-y's on one of my cars. 1966 Chrysler, 451 stroker, Edelbrock heads. I was quite happy with the ease of installation. I used a mini starter and I had to grind down a pad on the side of the block that was hitting one header (they mentioned this in the instructions). I had to...

Did you got through the carb when you got it? Edelbrock carbs are known for not being adjusted correctly out of the box. I followed the manual to double-check the recommended adjustments. My AVS had the floats misadjusted; one was not bad but the other was way off. I read online that one guy...

Yes that's the throttle linkage adapter you need, and as someone else mentioned, there is an extention for the transmission kickdown rod. If your original carb was a 2-bbl then the kickdown rod is shorter than the 4-bbl one. I also agree that the 650 AVS2 is a good choice. I'm actually running...

Also known as the Extreme Energy XE262H. I believe that is one size smaller than the XE268H I am running in my 451 stroker. On a new build I would recommend staying away from Comp lifters. The speed shop where I recently purchased a (Comp) cam recommended Crower lifters. I'm much happier with...

Very interesting, thanks for sharing that David. For comparison's sake I'll add a bit more detail to my experience. My engine is also a 383. My Comp cam and lifter kit used an older grind, the High Energy 252H or 256H. I forget which, their mildest one though, advertised power band from idle to...

If the initial break-in went ok and you're happy now, it will probably be ok. :) I had defective Comp lifters in an engine I built over 10 years ago which would not stay pumped-up once the engine warmed up and would start clattering. Comp would not replace them under warranty, claimed it was...

Edelbrock and Comp are owned by the same company now. https://theshopmag.com/news/edelbrock-owner-acquires-comp-performance/ I would also recommend Lunati, though I have no personal experience with them. I would have used a Lunati Voodoo cam in a recent installation but they require a 3-bolt...

Just FYI, when the timing set is installed as the instructions say, "dot to dot", that is actually with the #1 piston at TDC on the exhaust stroke, not the compression stroke. If you wish to drop in the distributor and roughly set it up at this time, without rotating the crank, the rotor tip...

The only issue that would cause is ignition timing, and not if you pay attention to where the rotor is pointing when wiring your distributor. While there is a recommended orientation for the slot, it can really be anywhere and still work fine. If your distributor cap has a cast-in "1" on it, the...

Carbon-fouling the plugs and won't idle sounds like an ignition problem I was having recently. In my case, my ECU (Pertronix Ignitor-I) was failing, but hooking it directly to the battery improved the symptoms. How have you wired-up power to the distributor? There is an appnote for your...

I will echo Leaburn's warning about lifters. I was not happy with Comp lifters that I installed in an engine I built 15 years ago. They were made to poor tolerances and would bleed-down while the engine was running and the valvetrain would always clatter. I recently went to purchase a new cam...

Is this what you're referring to, a belt-driven supercharger? TorqStorm

The owner of Schumacher pretty much retired, but it has been bought by another company. They may be taking orders before they do a run of parts, or only manufacturing what they think will sell the most. You should contact them if you're interested.

@D Cluley I presume you saw this page as part of your research? '65 C-Body Original B/RB Products

I was going to say the same thing about the BR. As soon as I saw the first BR pic I thought, "Why was the BR rewired instead of using the factory wiring?" Then I saw the next pic and that there are actually TWO BR's wired-in somehow, which is definitely not correct.

What changed was an extra 20-30 years of wear on the pushrods. I rebuilt an engine myself about 15 years ago, reused the original pushrod that was in it and it failed about 5 years ago. I suspect the same for others who have had the same problem, and I know of a few. In my case I replaced it...

I know the gasket you're referring to and they are pretty cool. Before installing, make sure the flange area of your pan isn't dimpled in around the bolt holes. That would stop the pan from seating properly and lead to a leak, even with the fancy new gasket. If necessary, support the pan rail...

Is your vacuum advance connected to ported vacuum or constant vaccum from your carb? Ensure it is connect to ported vacuum so there is no vacuum advance at idle, and increase your initial advance using a vacuum gauge to get the highest vacuum reading. Your idle speed will increase so you need to...

Depends what performance level the OP is going for. Ported heads have better top-end power (high RPM) but you sacrifice power at the bottom-end of the power band. Larger ports means the air is travelling slower so you lose the scavenging effect. 516 heads don't have a good port shape vs the...

I don't remember offhand what rod and jet combos I have in my Edelbrock carbs. I bought a kit for each and used the tuning guide in the owner's manual to set them up for the particular engine.
