new guy from the south bay

[BIGSPOON]

Hi everyone, I'm Nigel. I have an 84 that I've been slowly building up as money comes in. Only on 31s at the moment but I have built a 22r hybrid for it and have done a few things to it to make it rip lol. I'm currently swapping on a offenhauser dual plane manifold and holley 8007 and I should be back to Hollister pretty soon. Hope to meet some of you soon.

Why thank you gents lol

[22rMudToy]

How's that offy?

[BIGSPOON]

Lol well I'm not 100% sure yet, I put it on and put the carb on and have had a couple issues. Put the carb on and my truck fired up and sounded mean, went to start it an hour later and couldn't get it to fire. It was a used carb so I was guessing the float bowls were full of some crap and clogged something up. I'll have it running soon and let you know how it runs with it.

[22rMudToy]

Sounds sweet man. Let  us know how everything goes. Do you know what the compression is now?

[BIGSPOON]

Not 100% sure lol, I'm guessing between 10:1 and 11:1. Sounds pretty mean when she's running and I have to run premium now. I have a 268 cam, adj cam gear, long tube to 2.5" exhaust (no cat, just muffler) and now that offy manifold and 390cfm 4 barrel holley. Should be a pretty solid set up once its all tuned. I was goin to work on it this week bit my front main seal on my dd bmw hoopty went out so I ended up doing a bunch of work to that instead lol. Went out to Hollister today in my buddies 83 though to get me fired back up so I should have it running this week.

oh kool im in fremont but i head to hollister all the time when my truck is up and goin

[BIGSPOON]

Ha ha thanks. It's just a long tube to a cheap summit muffler. I had that 90 degree piece of pipe left over from my buddies cummins so I just used to make it a side exit. I just wanted something simple that didn't hang below the frame line at all. I've been pretty broke lately so its kept me from wheeling a lot lately but hopefully soon ill be going back out more. Its only about a 40 min drive from my house
