Besides issues with the exhaust (3" pipe attached directly to the 3 1/2" collector, poor muffler choice) the dynamic compression was pretty low 7.35. I don't remember what the cranking compression was, that was a while ago. The carb was on the small side too.


What carb...........that can make or break good 60`s and overall driveability............


On that 451 motor I ran an old Holley 950 HP, which I still have. I also have a Quickfuel 950 with downleg boosters, and an AED 1000Hp with their new wazoo annulars.


Any mods done to the carbs to clean em up down low and transition into the cruise then wot?


The holley and quickfuel haven't been worked on in those areas. The AED I'm not sure. I contacted them and they asked me a bunch of questions about my car, and said we can make something for you. What all has been done to it I honestly don't know.
