Tommy,
Best to 'Google' -
time in Melbourne Australia there and you will get the dead accurate time then..
After driving the GT40 in the States - we did the Phoenix Az. along Route 66 to London Ohio for the London Cobra show - I know what folding 6' and 110 is all about.
Although, I was very comfortable driving the GT40 in all conditions. It did take a while to get reversing sorted..
Hit my elbow once on the park brake when changing gear in anger - Hershal was asleep at the time..
Had the GT40 flying along the freeway..

Holley
Re the
Holley I have reverted back to the stock set up after trying various jets in various applications..
Currently I have 72f and 78r I think these are the stock set up...
. I have checked the engine at 12:1 air fuel ratio and it's running quite well with the stock set up.
# I set the floats so that the fuel is just trickling out slowly. Played a lot with the mixture screws to get it smooth.
# Tried 68f and 72r and with the cam found that it was all over the place with the air fuel through the rev range. I played with squirters, float settings, jets, springs and accerator pump and eventually settled on the stock set up again as it was an out of box package. I felt the carby was ideal for the motor and my requirements.
I even tried cam settings in early days with advance of 2 degree - I think..
.. - it was a set up I tried for lower to mid range torque.
I have had a 650dp on it for a while after borrowing it off a build engine with 71f and 76r and even took that to 70f and 76r thinking it made a great difference with cruising.
So after all that back to the stock jetting and all appears OK.
.. are you confused now.
Interestingly, the NASCAR motors with small blocks run 500 - 600HP using a Holley 390 2 barrel and they even have restricting plates.....
I often wondered if I had been over carburating the engine with the 650 and the 750. Then again, it is what you do with the right foot and what you expect..
so in went the NOS 150HP jet set up..
