Re: [Amc-list] Howell TBI in a 63 Classic...

I don't recall having to do much to open the holes up on the one I did for on my 69 head?
Other than porting it out to match up as best I could and plugging the AIR holes.

I doubt I could have rigged a bellcrank system for the 69 as it was allready a cable.
Stiff pedal keeps your foot up higher off the floor!
