Thanks Mike, your the man. that was a great video. I enjoyed checking out the houses and street view in Ohio.
Everytime you gassed it, I laughed. The neighbours must love it when you take it out.

What size is your blower? How big is the motors C.I.? I have pump gas blown 440 in the shop now fixing it from lifter tie bar breaking and ruining two lifters and hurting the cam, it has a BDS 6:71(I'm not sure if it is a standard or bigger rotor 6:71 blower) with two D.P. Holley on it, What size they are I do not know because I haven't check them yet. It is a street only cruiser, not a racer except for him wanting to do burn outs after leaving some of the local car shows in our local parks

Just an observation but I noticed different metering blocks on your carbs, billet and stock on each carb which unless the angle channels, emulsion pack and ifr's are the same it's gonna be a bit "off" and why did it keep stalling....

Like I said above "The car stalled shifting into 2nd too soon and on restart I forgot I shut the f pump off.I still get 10+ # at 6# UD on the blower." I also have the idle a little low for a cold engine but when warm it is better.Yes I have 1 billet metering block on 1 carb but let it go for now pls.The long/short of it is I was able to adj the fuel with the 1 plate to get 10.5 afr so I just left it and went on to other things.

Thank you.I am slowly getting things worked out.I started with towing my car to a car show and shifting the trans for the 1st time in the parking lot just casual driving.I have some trust in the car now and feel a lot better about how things will go.I adapted my headers for a street exhaust w/mufflers so I could drive around testing the car and the bullet mufflers really nocked down the noise.I did what I needed to do to make progress I know it it not pretty.I also made a blower cover so if I go to the track and it rains while towing it will not go in the carbs.
