I'm still waiting for my syncronizer so that I can get them in sync perfectly but I have had no problems starting & drivability, Even though not perfectly tuned yet, seems fine. I have set the idle for now & the mixture. Once I get out of the idle circut things really smooth out & take off but the idle circut seems to suffer just a bit & I think it due to thing not being in sync. Once that is smoothed out I expect they will be even better than before. The 600DP Holley was a great carb but i can already feel the difference in power & accuracy to each cylinder.

Did the center pull linkage come with your Webers? Mine have have the drivers side mount and I have heard BAD things about this.

Tell me about your cam and heads, also ign. timing. What springs are you using on the MSD? Also I can't tell from the photos are those 2" stacks? I have the same manifold, did you use the inline thermostat?

Yes I did use the inline thermostat from Wilson Manifolds, pictred here. There are many detailed pictures in my gallery

The linkage from the crank to the carbs came with the setup & can be used as a sidemount or center pull. I was also warned about the sidemount so didn't even consider it. Not sure why it doesn't work though.
My cam is a Nostalgia Plus Hydraulic from Comp Cams & my heads are mostly stock 1965 with screw in studs & roller tip rockers. The MSD is stock out ot the box. I haven't changed anything yet & haven't had a need to mess with the timing yet either.
The stacks are stock also. I have some of the red caps on order for when it's not in use & I am on the lookout for some type of filter for long road trips.
