I HAVE DESIGNED/FABRICATED A TRUE "COLD-AIR-INDUCTION" SYSTEM ESPECIALLY FOR BUICK 455 ENGINES IN G-BODIED REGALS.... AND WORKS ON "ANY" CARB-BASED POWERPLANT. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, POSTON BUICK (MR. JIM POSTON OF POSTON ENTERPRISES AT THE TIME) WAS VERY INTERESTED IN MY SYSTEM. POSTON EVEN STATED THAT THE "AIR INLET SYSTEMS " DESIGN GOT MANY COMPLAINTS FROM IT'S CUSTOMERS. A JOB-LOSS AT THAT TIME HAD PUT A DAMPER ON MY GETTING THE PROPER PATENT I NEEDED TO "DEAL" WITH POSTON. I HAVE THE PROTOTYPE WITH ME NOW, AS I AM AWAITING "PATENT PENDING" CLEARANCE. MY e-MAIL ADDRESS IS torque455@gmail.com THANKS FOR LISTENING. SINCERELY, CHRISTOPHER D. SWINSON
what is the height and diameter off of the carb? A lot of us have hood clearance problems when we go to SP-1 manifolds on our GS/Skylarks.
Christopher, you may want to post this in the Vendors forum also, if you intend to produce this item and offer it for sale here.
MR. GORTON, THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. MY "SYSTEM" COMES IN 3-DIFFERENT AIR-FILTER HEIGHTS (thus far); A 3-INCH FILTER VERSION --- Able to use K&N's Xtreme filter A 4-INCH FILTER VERSION --- Able to use K&N's Xtreme filter A 5-INCH FILTER VERSION --- Able to use K&N's Xtreme filter I HAVE CHECKED THE INSTALLMENT OF MY "SYSTEM" ON A FRIEND OF MINE'S 1985 BUICK REGAL/PONCHO400 COMBO W/HOLLEY-750, AND IT'S FINE, BUT I HAVE NOT FITTED ON TA'S "S.P.1" INTAKE AS OF YET. WHAT TYPE CARB/FILTRATION ARE YOU CURRENTLY USING?
I wouldnt mind seing that. I have the stg 2 te's under the sp2 with a 4" hood, shouldn't be a problem?
GOOD EVENING, 455 84' T-Type. THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY... AND INTEREST. I NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE @ 4-INCH COWL-AIR HOOD ON YOUR BUICK? I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN MY DESIGN? UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT SHOW PICS UNTIL I AT LEAST RECEIVE THE "PATENT PENDING" NOTIFICATION. THANKS MUCH. SINCERELY, C. SWINSON
I also have a 1050 dom.... I am not sure where you are getting the air from, but I might be using the front end air supply for brakes, not air for the motor. Street car and all. Let me know when it works for you to send pics.... mrunning307@hotmail.com :3gears:
