classic car

[geppegep]

beautiful car!

[mrceebees14]

Wow.

[gozone]

What an amazingly beautiful car!

Not too much "custom" to it, and not too plain either.. And the colour combo is just great too! The wheels are just so perfect in shape and size for this car, and even the licenseplate matches the colour of the car. Great job indeed!

Oh, and the sound is very nice too. :)

Cheers..

Michael

How is that 292H Comp cam on the street? Is it lazy down low, or does the 3.70 gears and 5 speed make up for it?

[oatmanbelair]

@madtownmadman

It does need some RPM's to really get in to the power band.. but with the super low Tremec 1st gear (3.27) that happens instantly.

[1pigman]

love the car had one at one time, are you ready to sale it?

[oatmanbelair]

@1pigman

Nope.. I've had the old girl for over 20 years now, starting out with an empty body shell.. thanks for asking though...!

[1971SuperLead]

If only the world was as beautiful as your car.

Lets see what 's making all that wonderful noise. Interrior pictures also.

[fireman01723]

What RPM does your BelAir idle at? Trying to get my idle adjusted on my Z with a 292H.

[oatmanbelair]

@fireman01723

The idle is a bit tricky... I find 900 RPM is about what it likes the best..

[sstocker31]

Been wondering if I should go with Flowmaster 40's or 50's......your vid made my mind up for me, 50's it is. Do you get much in the way of resonance?

Thanks for posting the vid.

[oatmanbelair]

@sstocker31

Because the mufflers are in fact Flowmasters, yes, there is some resonance, but only about 1/2 of what was there when I had the Delta 40's.  Personally I really like the Delta 50's...

[counrtyman86]

what is the lift on the cam if i may ask? i have a comp magnum .501 lift with .292 duration and just curious to see if thats the same as yours.

[oatmanbelair]

Same Comp cam you have.

[southcalihds]

what size pipes are u running?

[oatmanbelair]

2 1/2" from the headers to the Flowmaster Delta 50's (with a crossover pipe in front of the mufflers). 3" from the axle back to the bumper

[ddragon63]

How's the vacuum with that cam?

looking to build something similar but I'm worried about a hard brake peddal in my chevelle.

[oatmanbelair]

It has about 9-10" of vacuum. I run manual brakes... but you probably will need a vacuum booster/can to make power brakes work with this much cam.

[djillwill997]

what is the name of the color on the car

[oatmanbelair]

It's a stock 55 color... Regal Turqouise Metalic

[micheloldsmobile]
