I spent a little time on it today. I got it to run pretty good through the RPM range, just a few little burps here and there.

It pulls about 10.5Hg at idle so I'm going to get a 9Hg power valve for it and try that. It has a slight stumble when you first tip into the throttle while rolling and it seems to clear up when it reaches 6.5Hg(that is what the PV is right now). I'm going to grab a few different squirter cams as well.

The next issue is at the highest RPM. I can't tell if its the FB dizzy that is causing trouble, I know they get a little "iffy" above 7500RPM. If going a couple jets higher doesn't help out I may throw a modified CAS in between the engine and MSD boxes and see if that helps.

Over all it is night and day from how I got the car with just making sure the details are correct. I have made huge improvements with a vaccuum guage, timing light, screw driver and a couple wrenches.

I'll post all the specifics when I'm happy with the whole RPM range and drivability with my wideband checking my work.
