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!









Mains - 70
Power valve - 6.5
Idle bleeds - 70
Main bleeds - 45
Pump shooters - 31
Pump cams - Pink 1st position
Fuel screws were random now set at 1.5 out.

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

[GregWeld]

AWESOME! Love that look!


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

Thanks guys

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.

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?

Here's Edlebrock's specs which say 0* for "most" applications.

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.

More progress on the "practice" frame



Thankfully it goes under the car.

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

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