66 Twin Turbo Chevelle "Green Hornet"

[Rick Giles]

I have a friend that is turbo guy and he said buy the best and buy Weldon. I called Weldon and asked them what I needed and they said use the 2025 pump if you want to make over 1000 hp. Just so happeded that I ran across a guy selling a good used one with the filter and fittings for $400. Everything bought for fuel delivery is made by Weldon including filters, regulator and electronic controller. Man it's expensive building a turbo car! I had also heard some stories about the internal pumps giving problems. Don't know if there is any truth to that but it sure is easy getting to the pump when it's external. What type of setup do you have?

That's right! Did that sound like an advertisement?

One of the latest purchases...THE DOMINATOR ECU with wiring and FAST dual sync distributor. Man there are alot of wires!! Slightly intimidating! Hopefully this will help her run like a new car. I bought this from Dennis at Moore Racecraft because I heard so many good things about him and the way he does business.

I tell ya this sure makes it fun when a car has never had any rust!! Even the floor pans are rust free! Don't see many cars in Virginia like this. This one came from San Diego. Pretty sure this one has never left California til about a year and a half ago. Being from Virginia I have seen a lot of crusty cars and until about 4 years ago I have never experienced what it was like to own a true rust free classic. Bought a stock 67 RS Camaro Arizona car and turned it into a protouring ride. It was a pleasure working on it. Probably won't buy another rust bucket.

Just started sanding and polishing the turbo piping. Going from 80 grit to 800 grit takes a while but it sure is worth it!
