So the problem there with the 390Gt tubes....
I ordered about 50 of them from a regular supplier.
They were all too short.

I test fit each one, and sure enough I could only use 3-4 of them.
So I'm currently sending out sample tubes to a different vendor to get higher quality stock.

Kind of annoying, but every part on my webpage has been examined and test fit before shipping. Just the world we live in these days. Buy 100 brand new throttle shafts and 15 of them need to be reworked, etc.
I'll be home in a week or so and will send off samples to the vendor.

Great additions for those of us with 3259's.  Thanks.

I had a ton of the endcaps made. The aftermarket ones I had previously were steel and made it harder to seal.
Softer brass conforms easier. I'm happy with them.

She is the website master/designer, so none of my business!

Just a bump.


I added a bunch of parts, blogs etc.
some cool new stuff:

I had brand new Lemans bowl endcaps made out of the original brass.
Also since my rebuild kits are for a complete tear down, I decided to make reseal kits.
These are for spring maintenance before the season. No need to rebuild stuff if it works but just has a few small leaks.

I tried out viton o rings and they tend to be too stiff.

Buna N works well and handles fuel just fine.
I like to use a Molykote o ring grease one them, but any grease should do fine.

The ones I currently use last dang near forever, but I change them whenever I take a tube off because they are cheap.
Oil-Resistant Buna-N O-Ring, 1/16 Fractional Width, Dash Number 010
I tried dozens of different ones and settled on these being my favorite:

I could sell you a dozen of them if you wanted.

Or you could just buy a bag of them. The o ring size is 010

No one remakes the original tube. If you replace the tube they do not take o rings, they take two rubber boots.
Again, I have these parts if you need them.

If I recall, I told you 715s are a somewhat better venturi to bore relationship to any other size.

You told me I was wrong. Later you installed them 😂  (50 years of experience and all)

Martin's goal here is to collect original induction systems. Once I realized who the handle referred to, it made more sense. He is only really into as delivered stuff for display. As such, using 1850s or 3300s or how it runs isn't the endgame.
I got him a 3x2 setup, now on the hunt for 2x4 gear.

I think you are missing what he is doing.

That would be great. Always looking for better pics!

Snag what ones you need:

Aside from the choke cap (aftermarket replacement) this one was pretty original.
Anything else I can help with lemme know.

So I checked out your site for the first time.

If you need better pictures of, or if you'd like me to write a little bit about the -AA -AB Holleys used, let me know. I'd be happy to donate some time.

I've followed this all for some time.

The real issue I see is Sema is crying "you are destroying motorsports!!!"
Which would be true. But if they are supporting kits to delete the emissions equipment on a brand new Diesel pickup so it can "roll coal" they are killing their own legitimacy.

This may bite them later.

Who would buy a shelf cam?
Comp XE256H is pretty close.
Not sure where you got the idea it would be an industrial engine...
If someone wanted a cruiser or wanted to do something like power tour, this type of cam would be my suggestion.

Cam profile isn't as simple a matter as you make it seem. Your comment about it wearing the same is incorrect. No one can actually predict that with the info given. Too many other factors.

The same goes with the comments about power. The benefit of multicarb setups isn't always just airflow potential.
For a street car I would 100% of the time choose 6 or 8 venturi over 2 or 4.

Me defining mild is something like a 210 or 218@.050 cam.
If your interest is longer drives and efficiency/economy, 2, 1848s or the factory 3x2 actually do as well if not better than many 4v.
