Progress on #782

Yes-he does approve! Almost a clone of mine. Except I made mine skinnier to save all that weight and improve my ET's...

Now Daniel, look me up when you're ready for one of these beauties-a Moroso throttle stop, so you don't over-center the linkage and you can hold your foot flat on the floor for hours...

BTW-Ixcsnay on the ochechay...(lose the choke).

Re: Choke. Do you mean on the rear carb (?) - that is on my list of projects. And that is a nifty throttle stop - I may have to do one of those also. Still debating whether to have a pair of original configuration carbs built up or just mod the ones I have - buy new fuel bowls, remove rear choke plate, maybe even install the Ford style throttle shaft brackets.

Thanks

Original config carbs will not get you better time slips.
And the dufuses that look at your car on the street won't know squat about which carbs they are.
Take yours to Pro Systems or any carb specialist you desire and get the air horns milled, and all the trick work with bleeds, channel blockers, passages and the kitchen sink. It'll run better, smoother and more efficiently.
And right after that we'll talk about your needed cam swap and head porting...

Looks really nice Dan. At this point, I think that it is time to drive and enjoy the car. Save any further carb work for bad weather.

Agreed - but we seem to have entered a monsoon period - I come home every afternoon to showers and thunderstorms. It's raining lightly right now just as it has been for the last 4 hours. Hoping for a break in the morning and and a chance to get out before they move back in for the afternoon.

Perfect time to send the carbs out...

I'm trying to be optimistic.
