Idle is perfect, power is waaaaaaay up now, and it just sounds sooooooo good! I'm liken it lots! Here's a few pic. I just had to share. The old, The new, And here's the choke thermostat I couldn't find,

No one had any. Any they did have were elect. assisted. Not what I needed. But this isn't about the choke, I'm happy I got the 4BBl on and working. Great too, I might add! I'm in a good mood now. Car show tomorrow (for the Duster), and my projects are all done. Whoooo Hoooo!

I have a bone stock 79 Power Wagon with 318 I'm considering doing the same thing to.. Well, if you mean me. No mods, just all stock. Took all of what I needed to do the swap off a '76 pickup in the bone yard. After I clean, bead blasted, painted, got some new parts, and rebuilt everything it all went on with little effort (but damn those manifolds are heavy!). I even got all the kick down linkage, and throttle cable too. I think it turned out good. Anyway, I'm happy with it. I just took my time doing it. Mostly cause I can't stand very long on my sore toe. If you have any questions let me know.
