I do appreciate all the knowledge and input. I am running stock dist. I did the transformation. .050 jets in main carb. and .049 in the front. 6.5 power valve in the main carb. And now a 2.5 in the front tried plugging power valve but it wasn't happy so I had a 2.5 that I used. I did the linkage progressive so it opens up the front carb.at probably 1/3 throttle or so. I figured why be pushing excess gas while in town. I know it's not the way many of you would have did it but it seems to run very well. I drove it about 5 miles last night and pulled plugs today and they are a just shy of a dark cocoa. And the throttle is pretty responsive.
