okay so i got all of my new parts installed under the hood today... started working up at T & K performance with my buddy Chevy (yes, thats his name) around 11:30 or so and finished up around 6:30. My first upgrades are a Speed Demon 850 w/ mechanical secondaries, all braided fuel lines, new high volume fuel pump, billet HEI distributor, and a new high-torque mini-starter. here's a few pics:

Looks good! I had a S.D. carb on a 327 that I built and it was great! Only problem was out of the box the idle circuts were to large but a twist tie fix and that problem went away! I would buy another in a heart beat.

out of the box problems?? ohh yeah. i originally had a 750 on there but it had so many burrs in the baseplate that it never sat flush and it leaked and leaked. the gasket they sent was garbage, too. we got it covered though... a local shop here in town had the same carb in stock but an 850 cfm so we said hey what the heck and got it in the shop and slapped it on and it ran like a dream

850 is funner to say than 750 anyways
