Subject: W USA 2288 J6 Carb, Edelbrock Torker II

I just purchase a 1968 Chevelle vin# 136378B155974. Please provide me with
all information you may have on this vehicle and what the specs are
on the above parts installed on this vehicle.

In addition, were these parts installed as part of a total performance package? What upgrades would you recommend to this vehicle?
It has a slapstick auto shifter B & M with factory rear. No shift kit but vehicle has a lot of torque.
This being my first classic/hot rod I am not sure what I want to do. It has enough kick to snap your head back but I am a family man with a hobby. Therefore, I would like to explore what I can do to the car and make the choices from there. It is very fun to drive with a lot of top end but does not get out of the hole the way I would like.

350 crate engine I was told, auto Trans with 3 speed B & M shifter, 3 inch exhaust with stock exhaust manifold

I would like to use the vehicle as a dual weekend cruiser and street rod for my hobby.

Thanks

As far as potential mods go there are quite a few things you can do. Are you sure about the 3" exhaust? Is it actually 3" or 2 1/2"? If it is 3", it's too big! It's killing off some of your torque. For someone like your self who is new to this I would suggest to do the simple, inexpensive stuff first. If you have a shop in your area that has a distributor machine, I would have them "curve" the distributor as one of the first moves.

W USA 2288 J6 Carb? I don't understand what that is. Are those numbers on the carb somewhere or is that a part number someone gave you for the carb?

Hey Rod, thanks for the responce. The Edelbrock name is on the carb and the manifold.

W USA 2288 J6, this is on the carb.

Torker II, this is on the manifold.
