Rob,
Stick with the carb and get to the dual
quads as soon as you can.. Gas Mileage??
are you guys kidding me..Just make sure the
tank is big enough.. The guy with the C-10 truck
approx 850 hp at Optima was worried about running
out of gas on the cruise.. 3 miles per gallon and I thought
my 11mpg babying it and 5 on the track were bad

How far is the motor set back now??
also can you still get the valve covers off?? looking close

My firechicken valve covers barely clear the braces
Been working on the Shaft system for that car.. waiting
on push rods from Smith Brothers

Good to see you working on the car

I remember a guy who had dual Suzuki carbs on his
Mac engined go-kart... both carbs fed to the same manifold
port.. looked cool but it didn't make any sense.. wish I had
a pic today.. the things you remember when you were young
