Nice - Dano from v8 here. Stumbled across your channel.

Loving the Buick vids on your channel. After pulling my 455 for repairs. I have almost the same setup for my temporary 350 engine as far as cam and gearing as you. also looking to use a 200r4 trans. What intake is that? and does it have the PCV in the back of the intake like the factory intake? Also i found recurving the dizzy so i could have around 15-17 deg initial, and 34 full mechanical in at 2100. with around 38full in with adjustable vacuum can. "Still Points style". seemed to help me get my little 2 brl to run with this cam as it has almost to strong of signal. I have made a couple of videos on the airflow over my 71 GS if you want to take a look. Have a great one. cheers.

Thanks for checking out the page. The Sp3 intake manifold is made exclusively by TA performance. I have taken a break from tuning/working on the buick. I have gotten busy with other big projects but I love driving the old buick. Next up is the disc brake conversion.

Nice video thanks. I'm in the process of tuning a dodge 383 with a similar cam and afr gauge. How much vacuum do you pull at idle? Are you able to get any vacuum advance. Atm I am bumping up my idle speed to around 900 to get 11-12" and some vacuum advance. Cheers!

[@reidkrabillbmx]

I'm pulling around 13-14 at 750 rpm. You might have a bigger cam than me or you could have a vacuum leak. I have my vacuum advance hooked to my manifold port on my carb to bring in a little extra timing at idle. A little extra timing can cure a stumble but what I ultimately ended up doing was switching carbs. I have summit brand 600 cfm double pumper now. I couldn't get my 750 quick fuel to ever run right on this mild 350 . What carb are you running?

[@evanm3209]

I have 230@.50, 290@.006, 110 lsa, and bigger valves 2.18 and 1.88". Right now running carter 625 cfm but still experimenting with some bigger holleys/ demon, edelbrock too. Cheers!

[@reidkrabillbmx]

@@evanm3209 you need a bigger carb. A properly tuned double pumper is nice. Go with a 750 with changeable bleeds and idle jets. Proform makes one that's affordable. A 650 cfm would even be too small. In the upper rpm that 383 will be starving for air. What model carbs are you playing with? My cam is 220@50

[@danielbennion80]

Way to tack the tachs!

[@sergiogrijalva3692]

Why did you install the AFR gauge?

[@reidkrabillbmx]

Fine tuning. Really great tuning tool.

[@reidkrabillbmx]

Great tool for fine tuning

[@sergiogrijalva3692]

Did you install the 200r yet?

[@reidkrabillbmx]

Been too busy to get the 2004r rebuilt.. I installed the afr to get my fuel curve just right.

[@sergiogrijalva3692]

@@reidkrabillbmx did you build the trans yourself or get it somewhere. I have a 70 skylark as well. Trying to put the same trans.

[@w41duvernay]

WHAT SIZE is the engine?

[@reidkrabillbmx]
