trying not to notice the carb spacer,what looks to be a double pumper and the Single plain intake then maybe just maybe you would think it was a stock small block with a Pretty Carb!

Lx3 · 04-18-2009, 07:49 AM

Sharp eyes.

I'm changing to stock valve covers and a Q-Jet.The single plane has

That quote must have been from a really old post. Mine is not together but I do have most of the parts.

I'm a happy trucker now . going to post some pics soon. got me a new camera, now i need to read the destruction's and figure how to push the button? lol

djracer · 06-03-2009, 01:41 PM
