Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Converting from 2bbl to 4bbl carb

[Jim Shadwick <idahoamx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doc's right.....the kick down is a MUST  with TF tranny.....it is not a 
real problem if you use a Lokar cable as I did on my Spirit....
you will have to come up with a bracket......when I got it a it had a 
rod from the tranny to the carb.....my carb is mounted fore and aft vice 
sideways...so it is easier....there was no adjustment with the rod....it 
does however add $50 + dollars to your cost...
soon as I get a chance I will take a picture and post it in my 
folder.......I have the Clifford intake..long tube split header and a Holley
390 carb....Crane H-260-2 cam and the head was milled ( .060 ) a bit 
much.....I did not build it .... bought as is....total cost five
years ago was over $1300 just for parts.......If I were building a 
street car today I would go with the Offenhauser dual port intake....Holley
390 or Edelbrock 500 carb ( or a Carter AFB 4bl from a 290V8 
)....Clifford short tube header ( or a long tube header from e-bay)...a 
little smaller
 cam and only mill the head as needed..(.it might be cheaper to buy a 
used Jeep header and modify it to fit).....that way you should be able 
to run regular gas.....Jim
