Hi Robert. This is Matt. Yes this does happen to other customers. I’m trying to get you your carb as quickly as I can.

For the carb hat, I’ve used a 1/4-20 bolt with an Allen head. Don’t remember the length. I already put the bolts in the mail for the v/c

Did I send you a set yet? I have a set sitting here ready to send

I think you’re right. There has to be that much potential. I have patterns that were made but they were not done right and can’t be used as is. I hope to have some guys look at them this spring and see what can be done.

Those are new cast iron castings with some improvement, right? And ported

Hi Scott. That sounds like a large log. If the final letter in the casting number is M or greater, it is definitely a large log which is good, you just have to make sure you account for the increased combustion chamber size. get it checked (or do it yourself). You will probably want around 56cc for a '67 and the large log heads are around 63cc. Do the math and figure out what the compression ratio will be.

Sorry, I’m not sure about the 17. The casting numbers do identify a model, but, with the engine block, it’s not that specific. There’s not an individual casting number for each model.

I would like to, but have to wait until the small 6 head is in full production

Hi Chris. Contact AutoTec pistons. They know our specs. http://racetecpistons.com

If you need something you don't see here on my site, send me an email and I'll try to help.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. The Sniper has the same bolt pattern as a Holley 2100 2V so it won't bolt on to a Weber adapter

I don't know a spec. With no spark plugs installed, it should turn very easily until installed. If it is a manual trans, with the trans installed, you won't be able to turn it over by hand with the clutch engaged. An automatic won't matter because of the torque converter

Wow! If you want to send me a picture of the carb and where the idle screw, I can see if I have one I could send you. I have a lot of cores. Matt

Kit parts are in stock. The carbs are shipping from the supplier.

My only choices with the website are “in stock” or “out of stock”. I can’t take an order and Bill later when the part is in. I try to mark thing out of stock if I know it’s going to be a long time, but if it’s a drop ship, I have to show it in stock. If I have a part on the shelf, it usually ships next day, but sometimes takes me a couple days.

Hi Greg, I just resent the order to Rocker Arms Unlimited. They usually only take 3-5 days to build the assembly. I’ll call Monday. It will ship directly from them. If I mark an item as out of stock on my website, it can not be ordered, so drop ship items will always be shown as in stock.

I talk to the shop that’s going to build them almost every week. The holdup is their foundry that is not strictly automotive. They still have some work to do to have my patterns work with their equipment. I am still hopeful it is just a matter of months. As far as my backorder situation goes, it is industry-wide. Other places sell some of the things I sell (if I don’t have them made) but honestly, everything is hard to get right now and has been for a year. I’m a one man show and do this at night and on the weekends so you can imagine the size of my business and the level of clout I carry! I definitely don’t mind people asking about other sources, but it does pinch just a little when my inventory comes into question! All is good. I hope some of the supply situations are improving now.

Thats kind of harsh on my own forum. When you find someone who can get the parts I sell when I can’t, let me know. Most people are grateful that I’m trying.

With an automatic transmission, the shift point will determine how high the engine revs, probably to slightly less than 5000 rpm. With a stick, you control the shift point, so it could conceivably be higher. Most stock engines aren't going to get past 5000 rpm though due to valve float. The stock springs can't keep up when the valve starts opening that fast. With good springs and more cam, the engine should be good for 6000-6500. I know of one engine in a road racing car that hits 7500 rpm on long straight aways. Not a good idea for a street driven car though!
