The AED Performance fuel supply arrived so I fabbed a carb stand and put the Ultra HP on the bench to verify calibration. I hope this carb is as good as I've heard. Personal opinion - I love the design upgrades and look!

X2. I concur. Carb envy has reached the Midwest.:thumbsup:

What he said.That black carb is awesome.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That looks killer dude! Love that color... I did read it chips easily somewhere. Hopefully it holds up. :thumbsup:

AWESOME! Love that look!


Sure hope it works for you as it should and maybe even better!:cheers:

Thanks guys :thumbsup:

Dave - I don't think it's the most durable finish I've seen, not as sensitive as anodized aluminum though.

Greg - Hopefully the head and carb make up for my inferior rebuilt flat tappet cam. :woot:

One issue that came up when they tore the motor down is they didn't notice the gear drive was a variable advance so they don't know position it was set at. That bothers me.......more than a little.

I believe -2* / 0* / +2* are the options for my drive.

Anyone have an educated guess?

--------------
Edelbrock's drive is 4* at cam and 2* at crank.

Edelbrock tech said the Comp Cam dual springs I had with 121 lb seat and 343 lb. open pressure were within there acceptable range with the cam.

Lucas 30W break in oil and Joe Gibb's mil-spec 10/30W oil on order.

Doug's 368 headers arrived, fingers crossed that they fit! The overall quality (especially ceramic coating) is much higher that the Hooker Comp's I received earlier.

Quick Fuel throttle return spring bracket test fit and appears to be a well engineered "no frills" system.

Motor should be back together this week or first of next week. With a little luck Norwood will be back on the road in a couple weeks. :thumbsup:

More progress on the "practice" frame

Thankfully it goes under the car. :lol:

Go back and fill in the low spots with some rose welding.... grind 'em down...

It'll look beautiful! And it's good practice.
