Thanks Steff...cheers mate!
72 Swinger - You are correct - but the issue is more complex than just the intake.....
What I want to do first is make sure the plenum volume is not crazy....
Ive already put a temp gun on the exhaust headers and the fuel distribution has improved big time with the divider.
Once I get the Carb to Plenum ratio sorted - I can worry about the bear in the room...which is camshaft related and not an easy fix with factory slugs..
Needless to say....Im not running a cam that's 8 degrees retarded out of choice....but that's where we're at with most "off the shelf" cams and factory slugs.
Thx for your interest.
