Not exacty your average street car but I do ike to cruise on the street from time to time. Any pointers are appreciated!


Street tuning is going to be difficult due to the cam not the carb. With a big cam like that you'll need a lot of advance at idle. It is difficult to achieve the timing curve you need with a mechanical distributor which is why I'd suggest going digital. If it was my car I'd do a Sniper + Hyperspark combo which will give you complete digital control of fuel and ignition. That setup comes with a wide band and a data logger so you can really dial in the tune. You can do it with a carb and a mechanical distributor but you'll need spend some money to make it work. You might be money ahead to switch to digital.
