| Looks like I was running 143 secondary jets. I converted my carb to run holley gas jets. Simply just ran the proper holley tap into the bowl for the primaries and cut off a pair of jets and tapped them for the holley gas jet. Problem like you know is gas jets aren't as large as you need so I simply... |

| It is actually a 72 340 carb I sent to Dave (demonsizzler) to re-do and do as many tricks as he could to it. Out of the box the engine wouldn't go past 2000-3000rpm with it. It had a cracked accelerator pump and a rusty spring for the accelerator that had no tension. :roll I have a 71, but he told m... |

| I think both cars tires were alittle more bald than I personally would perfer either. However at 800hp, I think it is alot safer to let them use as much contact patch as possible, instead of breaking loose at 130+ mph. I would put 10bux saying give Dave a set of nicely worn, yet legal tires and he w... |

Looks good Ted.
We are having a few set-backs, still shooting for the 1st, but it's getting bleaker everyday.
You still need to have an alignment done? Looks like it has a ton of positive camber. |

What pump are you running Ralph? I assume some type of secondary air pump. I have a couple of VW air pump's, I wonder how much vacuum I could get out of one. The problem is they draw near 30amps at full tilt.
I'd like to have one of those star pumps, but thats a tough pill to swallow.  |

| I can accept that. I still think it's strange how certain things in the suspension are okay as factory appearing, and others have to be exact. There is no more advantage to a monoleaf spring than what is gained by a set of good shocks. |
