I picked up a Chevy cast iron intake with a clean Rochester 4bbl at the Tillsonburg swap meet today for a song and have a question. The ID on the Rochester is 7042208 which according to what limted liturature I have is a 1972 4bbl for an automatic Chevy. Any idea what CFM this would be? The intake casting number is 3927184 which according to nastyz28.com is a 1969 intake. I'm not sure if I am reading the application chart correctly. They have it listed as "350 C.I, A B F X Y / 255, 300, 350 HP, srv repl." I'm assuming all this means: AVAILABLE ON THIS BODY STYLE: A - CHEVELLE B - FULL SIZE F - CAMARO X - NOVA Y - CORVETTE and came on 255, 300 and 350hp motors as well as was the service replacement intake. I've never heard of a 350/4bbl rated at 255 hp. So, if I'm right, I think I scored a correct intake for my Laurentian. At least I'll be able to run a 4bbl until a nice big block comes along. Todd
The date code is B129 which would be Feb 12, 69. I didn't buy anything else. I was feeling a bit frugal today! It looked like a lot of vendors didn't show. Too bad as the weather was great today and the roads were fine. Todd
My uncle had a new 1969 Impala 4 door hardtop 350-255 hp You and Carl will appreciate this.. The rear end, went bad on the car, and when he took it in, they told him it had already had the rear end replaced in it! then there was some blushing and assurances, they would look after it.. lol hmm.... how come it already a warranty claim?..somebody in town, maybe had a son/friend with a broken rear? lol
A friend of mine told me his uncle got a call years ago from GM. "We are just checking to make sure you are happy with the warranty repair on the differential in your almost new pickup".
He bought the truck new and had never taken it in for anything like that!
