Quote: To the OP, you know what made my car reliable with the stock 5/16" fuel lines? Going back to a mechanical fuel pump. Got rid of all the racing fuel pump and filters and now my car run's and never Vapor locks. This was 10+ years ago when I was running straight race gas. Today with the ethanol fuel it would be even worse. Racing fuel pumps require large inlet sizes which a stock tank struggles with. Learn to tune the distrubuter with the carb and that makes a huge difference in drivability also. Even with a big cam most can be made street friendly. Keep the stroker and tune on it first. Good luck.

Yes, was there a couple weeks ago. We we're a little closer to heaven. My little old 340 went right up that huge azz mountain, I tuned for it.
Cool, went up that mountain several years ago on the train, my sister lives up in Florisant (she lives across from the Thunderbird) at 9500 ft. For a flatlander it's tough, really tough. Thanks for the memories.
