Thanks for the responses guys. piecesparts, Im currently using a TH350 tranny. I plan on doing 3.73 gears in the rear, but it's so expencive right now!

As for how it's set up, the carb is an Edelbrock 1400, 600cfm elec. choke. Should be more than enough for this engine. The exhaust is pretty much open. Stock manifolds and stock cats, but they are straight pipes with no mufflers. I'm not sure what you mean about the air cleaner. It's a chrome 14" air cleaner.

Also, I was reading up on some things today, and I think my engine is running a little too rich. I'll get some black smoke out of the exhaust when I'm cruising, and at idle, it smells very rich. Since I have no way of checking the actual AF ratio, I'm just going to buy a carb calibration kit from our speed shop here and start leaning it out with new jets or metering rods. Hopefully this can help me out, because after messing with the idle adjustment for about an hour today, I actually have it idling REALLY good finally.

Any thoughts?
