Nice ride, have you run the engine with the fuel injection yet. I have been looking at the different types myself and am still undecided.

Its a Holley Commander 950 TBI 670CFM. Its been a great so far but takes some time to figure out the tuning!! Little Curve. I have had the EFI on it long time now, put bout 2,000 miles on it. I wanna upgrade to Holley's new Self-Programing unit but I just don't have the cash right now. Put the 200-4r and all the other goodies in it the last couple of years.

Thanks Everyone for the Welcome!!! Good News is the car is only small items from running! I have had this car apart for the last couple years getting everything right. It all started when I lost first gear in the TH400. This led to the 200-4r, then to the 9in rear, then to the brakes, then to all the OAI W-30 items I have collected to install, to the fuel pump in the tank, to the stainless lines, to the 4 wheel discs, then to the global west goodies, etc.

Tweed!!!
I can post pics of anything you wanna see!!! I've Got Lots!!!

Welcome to the site. I really like what I see so far. I am pretty partial to 66/67 body style so I am a little biased.

Ken, you've got a great car, saw it with the W30 components for the first time (I think) earlier this year when I bought those chambered pipes for my '67. Like the suspension mods you did on it as well, though I'll probably keep the factory "stance" on mine.

By the way, do you know if there is a top cover/lid that closely resembles the correct one on a '67 W30 shroud?

Hey Alien -
The closest "replacement" lid for a 67 442 shroud is from Year One - a 14" open element Chevelle top. It fits the shroud although the contour is not the same. But it will work if you dont have a correct one. So go ahead and buy that "lidless" one on eBay and get the "substitute" chevy top and go crusin!!! LOL

Yep, I was looking at that Ebay piece. I'm tempted on that one, but then I've been tempted before. Will have to see how that one goes. I do appreciate the advice re: the lid.

I could not believe the work you did on your 66!! I saw it on ebay and just couldn't get the money to buy it!!! What a really nice car!!! What craftsmanship and engineering!!!
66-67 Love!!! I always wanted a 69, since I was 2 my father had/has a 69 442 W-30 original and I loved it so much I never let him sell it!!! Had a 71 Supreme Convert in Highschool that someone hit me right in the right door post. Destroyed the car!! But found this 67 in college and my father loaned me the money to buy! since then built it 3 times, each time w/ the money I had, each time better!! This time I got out of control but I feel it will be worth it!!

Thanks for Welcomes and Comments!!! Check out the pictures!!!
