Self-Starter article on the 429 engine series
I would like to obtain a copy of the Self-Starter's article on the 429 engine series. I think it was originally published in the July 2003 edition. Does anyone have a copy to share or any ideas of how to obtain a copy?
Thank you.

I remember your concerns concerning the engine identification for 1964 as set forth in the article. I have still have your comments (somewhere). I intend to scan the article. Perhaps we can see it it is then appropriate to post it or preserve it. I would like to do the same for the manuals.

I have it. Pretty decent article as I recall but there were a couple of minor corrections I sent in after reading it that appeared a couple months later.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
