Chas - I haven't done anything further for right now since after getting the timing and the idle adjusted it seems to be running fine for the moment. I'll find out more when I can get it on the road for a test drive. Long term I have thought about getting a set of proper coded Holleys from one of the FE suppliers to replace these. If I don't do that then I will probably look into replacing the bowls.

I'm following your suggestion (at least sometimes) to get it together and don't sweat some of the small details for now that can be worked out later.

Thanks Dan - useful information.

Im wishing I had underslungs at the moment - I will never build another car with 4 into 4 sidepipes. Last night I was ready to throw the towel in and put the damn thing up for sale.

I don't understand, are you having trouble getting the primary pipes to fit in to the sidepipes?

Actually my headers for undercar exhaust are two piece (5-piece really) with slip connections. They have been kind of a pain - some of it self-inflicted. After ceramic coating I basically had to sand it all off on the area of slip fit to get them to fit again. Even then I had to give my rubber mallet a workout to get them fully inserted.
