I drove my red spyder to storage the other
day..
I cant believe how smooth and strong that 305
is!
It has this sound like cold water pipes, when I'm
cruising at speed. like a
hiss...I always thought it
was the Holley600 that was on it, but now its
a
2bbl,and it still does it. Anyhow it sounds really
cool...like a snake,lol.
The car is so fun to
drive.
Here is the combo;
A 305 bored .030
mexican made ('metal levee') flat top pistons.
14022601 heads from a 305 HO monte carlo ss (1.84 intake
valve)
Rochester 2bbl,on factory manifold with EGR, and
cannister hooked up. The
2bbl may be a larger cfm than
factory, I dont know its origins.
Stock exhaust with a
stock catalytic converter,and reproduction dual
outlet
muffler.
The initial timing is set to near factory specs
and factory weights are in
the distributor.
factory 4spd ,3.08 posi
195/70/13 tires.
The
way this thing pulls from 2000 to 4500 makes me smile
every time, and
its not loud at all.
I drove it
about 20 miles...in rush hour traffic no less. It ran
perfect for not being driven any great distance in 2
years.
Its very civilized.
just thought I'd share.
