Here you go Russ

Never mind I got it. You guys are awesome! Thank You!

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Is there a link to this thread? The pics are a bit low res/blurry

Do any of you all have measurements for the placement of the ‘road runner’ script emblem on the right side of the trunk lid? My car seems to have a satellite lid, holes have been filled or welded and on the inside I only see three welded round plates ‘hole guide’, which would likely mean this is...

Same thoughts here. I may ground it to the line but I would also add another ground to a known good ground point.

Hey thank you very much! Agreed. It could be as simple as the ground though it seemed well grounded. I’ll add the ground strap to the fuel line/sender and then to the frame. All connections are very clean, I’m using the newer electronic version of the V limiter. Thank you for sharing the link...

Thank you all for the advice and detail here! My sender is 70/30. I tried everything to get things to play well so I need to check resistance at the gauge. I also tried to bend the float arm to get it off the bottom of the tank to get to true empty on the gauge. This didn’t help. There are two...

All: A few questions about your experience with aftermarket fuel senders. Purchased my car restored. New sender and new gauge (in original gauge cluster). Also have a new voltage reg. On empty, gauge reads 3/4. Full it’s off the charts. I changed senders to a new aftermarket version. No...

It’s 10.0:1. Thank you.

I actually do, it’s the 6.5. You’re correct, I don’t know how to select a power valve. I’d appreciate any advice here. Thank you!

Thank you Russ, all great advice! I ordered a few jet sizes and a few nozzle sizes. Also bought a spring kit for the secondary pot. Going to spend the weekend tuning. I’ll let you all know what happens. Choosing by the size of engine is a little tricky but based on some of the calculations I’ve...

Ha, yes a pro I am not. Motivated novice for sure. I’ve tuned the carb and timing with a vacuum gauge etc. I’m running about 18 degrees initial and around 36 total. At that I’m pulling about 25 inches of vacuum which seems pretty good. Tuning the carb at idle I’m about as lean as I can be which...

Figured I’d revive an old topic... Folks, I have a pretty stock 383 in my ‘69 but I’m looking to get a little more out of it for fun cruising, etc. I’m not looking to race the car, at all, but I want more out of this setup. 900 miles on this build. This is a low mileage engine which didn’t...

Sorry I realize this is an old thread. I am running a 670 Street Avenger Holley that I bought a year ago. Basically bought a brand new carb from a guy who decided to go bigger after buying a crate engine with this carb delivered with the crate engine. Admittedly I did not know a lot about...
