Good Morning All,

Great reading today and thank you Charlie Ny for your questions, thoughts and jumping in on this.

Answers to posted questions:

12 volt negative ground system. Gramps

Direct linkage on the carbs, not progressive. Charlie

I ordered 4.5 PV's and 52 jets from a recommended supplier who modifies the PV to clear the bowls. I read about him on the HAMB regarding 94 jets and PV's. Charlie

Non stock cam (274 lift and duration) on intake and exhaust according to Mike Herman of H&H. Mike recommended 5 degrees advance initial with a total of 24 degrees advance for this cam. Tinker

The electronic failures were, first distributor had a cut wire from the vacuum plate moving back and forth, the wire loop was not secured adequately. Second distributor failure was a bad PC board in the base the distributor. Their solution to the wire loop was to silicone it to the housing reducing the size of the flex loop. Tinker

Test drive today with fresh plugs and a new HEI distributor with a 45K output coil. Also to collect actual driving condition vacuum gauge readings for determining the best suited power valve. Hopefully.

PS yes I will have a gauge reader, note taker. I get to drive my car :-)

Respectfully

Marc
