I had a little overlap but I doubled up on the gaskets and that lined them up nicely. I know, this may not be best practice but I was impatient and didn't want to spend the season grinding instead of driving : ) I may do the port-matching come winter.

I have yet to pop the main jet/E tube/corrector assy. open. I just fiddled with the idle jets, which were 70s, and ended up with 60s, and the mixture screws just under a full turn out. She's humming right now so I haven't touched anything more...I may need the next richer main as I get a very slight burp at a steady 4000 RPM.

Thanks Al,
Now that's eye candy for sure! Is it set up for a GT40 throttle linkage or a Cobra? (from the front or rear of the manifold?) $$$ Price?

ENTDOC,

I had the same problem. The originator of that site is here as well and I just PM'ed him a message asking him to fix it. He did really quickly. I guess antivirus soft ware and the likes will block the email needed to activate the account. check this out and you can find him.

Ray,

The linkage is setup for a front engine car, but that would be easy to change.

Polished and chromed and Inglese does mean money, but also the best quality. The same setup on CSX4083 remains flawless after 10 years and always wins best engine compartment at any show. The polished and chromed setup is not for everybody, but is a look I love.

I purchased the setup a few years ago to upgrade a 65 GT350 I had at the time but foolishly sold 2 years ago. This is a complete package, new, polished and chromed to show quality (same as on my Cammer Cobra). If you go to Inglese.com and add up the system plus polishing and chroming, it now comes to $9645, plus tax, plus shipping, plus several months wait. I will sell the setup for $8,000, with shipping included.
