    I like carbs. Have no expirience with the BG carbs, but if Pirate says it's good it's good!

      I like edelbrock just because of the simplicity of them and the fact that once you have them set their good. Unlike a holley you have to fuck with all the time. Yeah they might now put out as many horseys as the holley but every time you turn the key they will start.

          Yes.

          But, I am going to get the Demon carb and the intake Larry suggested. If i'm going to do the swap, might as well use the best parts!

          I'm going to try that Mallory Digital ignition too.

              Purchased an RPM Air Gap for a great price of 190 shipped!! Also bought the Lokar Throttle Cable and Bracket. Nate, how much you want for your Lokar TV cable?

              I gotta decide what to do about fuel delivery, as far as pump goes.

                A stock mech. would probably work just fine. Ones feeding my 351 without issues.

                    Pirate told me I should consider a 120gph Carter pump like the 6588 with a basic deadhead regulator and pressure gauge for my apparently-fuel-starved 306. It's cheap, too - I don't think I'll be spending over $70 for the whole setup.

                    What's your pal from 460Ford suggest?

                          Nate, is that the same one I sold you? This is becoming another one of those parts that will eventually be sold to every active member of GMN, lol.

                              You can have it next, Larry, but we have to give Tom his turn first, okay? Why don't you go play with the building blocks until Tom is done playing with it?

                                Okay, fine, I wanted to go build an upside-down pyramid, anyway.
