good news and bad news
I got the car running last night and it sounds much better. the car got a lot louder than it was, I wouldn't have thought that. I have 17" of vacuum at idle, sounds really responsive
the bad news is my friends that own the dyno, well I had a falling out with one of them and won't be able to go back and see what difference it made which really bums me out. but oh well.
I rechecked the vacuum on the old cam and i was mistakin, it wasn't 28 it was 24"
maybe if it EVER stops raining I will get to drive it.
oh for pete's sake go kiss and make up. friends are hard to find.
I don't have a problem with him, he has a problem with me. one of those guys that asks for free stuff for his car than turns around and sells or trades his car 3 months later. he traded away someones CNC'ed heads.
i know thats ridiculous but he has to live with it. tell him how you feel with out getting into 
oh I did, somehow in his mind, 30 hrs of my time equals 3 hours on his dyno

so Chip sent me a Holley 830 cfm dp,it has power valves front and rear, annular boosters, jet extensions/ notched float. I put new gaskets in it, a 50cc pump on the secondaries and just took it for a ride. it doesn't idle as well as the edelbrock and I don't think it feels as fast but its so silky smooth and with the jets that were in it, looks very close on the A/F meter but most of you know I certainly don't live by that meter
the edelbrock had a slight hesitation when the outboards opened which I was planning on working on but I think Chip's Holley is going to Drag Week. I'm not getting full throttle with the Holley so I need to work on a new throttle cable bracket
the new cam not only sounds better but the car feels a lot stronger, I guess we'll see how it does in a week and a half

Cool... glad you got it back together... see you in BG.. I pulled the heads off my Rampage today... and the set of W-2s off my other engine... I'm gonna mock them up tomorrow and measure for push rods... then I want to tear the W-5s apart to see if I see anything wrong

Glad my carb is working good for you.  I know you'd rather run the Edelbrock, but since you're in a pinch for time maybe you can make an exception this once, lol. That carb worked great on my old 440...used it for a long time. Do whatever you need to do to it and good luck at DW!!!

You can change anything you want.. EXCEPT the block..
the block you start with is the one you finish with..
other than that... you can throw ANYTHING at it

Get fancy with the carb and you can get good mpg and run well at the track. I came in with a weekly mpg average of over 13mpg and ran in the 11s the whole trip.
I just changed mufflers and it made my tune much more rich though so I will see how that MPG works out this year.
