few questions??????

Well i have to say first off i have really fell in ove with my truck even with its small glitches. Hear is the questions.
1. The secondays on my holley isnt opening up it is subpose to be a mech. carb the # on it is 80457-2 and the bottom # is 0400. you can work it by hand and they work squirt fuel and everything. i have a screw in it now to get them to open but i want them to work correctly.
2. just how much can the 3 speed take i would figure that my motor is making in the 300-325 range just a guess. Also the clutch is slipping but i dont know what size to order 11 or 12 and what spline it is the stock 3 speed on a 72.
3. I want to install a set of bucket sets what seats has everyone tried and how is the look and fit. Im not worried about a mount as long as i have the slides i can deal with the rest.
4. (last question) how does 255-50-17s look on the back along with 255-45-17s on the front i have found a great deal on 4 tires but worried about the look.
Thanks alot
Ol Blue
