Be cautious of what manifold you use on a 283-2 barrel engine.
It was pointed out to me that these have small ports so some manifolds aren't a good
match.

Hi,
I finally decided to sell my Chevelle. It is really with pain in my hart to
let her go, but it is the best thing to do.
I bought my Canadian build 66 Malibu 230 about 1.5 years ago after a search
for this model of about 2 years. They are really scarce here in Holland.
I was planning on doing
Sorry to see it happen.To me it is a joy just restoring these fine

Not my numbers, John. Holley states that an ordinary low-performance engine
has a VE of about 80% at 'maximum torque' and a high-performance engine at
about 85%.

Other sites say between 80% and 90% is typical for a normally aspirated
You'll be fine with the same plug but you can open up the gap to .045 or .050 to
effect a larger spark.

Hi Everyone..I recently switched from a points distributor to an Hei system on my

Just something to keep in mind...
If the engine block is a 1965 or 1966 casting, be sure that you have the appropriate
groove machined in the rear cam journal. Most cam manufacturers offer this service,
but a decent machine shop should be able to machine the groove as well. Here is an
Thank you Dave!

Henri, Hurry back to the list, we'll be waiting for ya.
Right, you can calculate for 100% VE and you probably won't get it, but if
you calculate for 75% VE you definitely won't get it. You probably wouldn't
even get the 75% you think you are trying to get because VE is influenced by
more than just the carburetor.
Again, the key is to *be realistic*
Without meaning to deflect the technical drift of this thread, I had a
thought:
Whatever happened to those old Carter (WCFB?) and Rochester (4CG?)
four-barrels that I remember coming with up-rated 283s? They flowed far
less than 600cfm -- nearer 400 or 450cfm, I think -- and seemed to do the
My experience has been that the older intakes are worth $$$ only to those who want or
need them for a specific reason; I had a '64 WCFB intake and a '66 4G intake for a
long time before finding people (both list members, incidentally) who were interested
in them. Same goes for 4G
Brad,
Makes sense to me, although I seem to recall hearing that these oldies were
getting expensive -- probably from someone who wanted to sell one to a
restorer. They can't be rare -- they made zillions of em. And just about
as many versions, each requiring a different rebuild kit! Were these
Unfortunately the 4Gs came with an attached aluminum tag that contained the pertinent
info, and the tags were prone to being damaged or disappearing. 8^( I keep my eyes
open at swap meets so maybe if I find one that still has its tag I'll take a flyer on
it. Of course, there's no guarantee
Sounds like Rochester should have taken a page from the mattress industry:
Do not remove this tag under penalty of law...!
I tried Googling Rochester 4CG + rebuild kit and got some useful-looking
sites. I didn't have much time to look around, but I did find that GM used
4CGs on big block
WOW!..thanks everyone for all the information!..I will let you all know how
it turns out...performance wise!..I really missed this list!!!
Thanks

Keep in mind that most street-only cars w/ 3-speed automatics 8 cyl
engines (esp. big blocks) probably rarely exceed 4,000 RPMs.
So, I think Brad is right in saying that most people need to dumb down the
formula, but I think the answer is not to second-guess some imaginary
minimized VE, but to

I've had 3 top notch mechanics tell me that the ARCO blend is not that good for your
