You could build your line out of stainless with a shorter hose, then do the same for the PCV.
@Don Jacks Is this what you are referring to?Yes you booth need and want that line.It appears to be a ported source for the vac.advance.A cleaner option as a winter project would be to source a hollow carb mounting stud from Show Cars and install it on the rt.rear of the rear carb.Then you can make a short hose from the stud to the advance and plug that port and lose that not so pretty cooper line.
Being an iron head engine, I wonder if the water temp was up to 185 to 195 degrees would make more power.
It will make aa little more after it's fully broken in.It's less than I thought it would be.I don't know how much if any bowl work was done when they went to the next size up valves either.Compared to what he had this thing's going to feel like a rocket..
I wasn't there in person. The shop guys went. Curious, what makes you think they didn't monitor the air fuel ratio?The charts appear not to be monitoring A/F ratio?Also what did the timing curve look like?
I spoke with the dyno guys and they did not have Rochester jets to dial the carbs right in. Also they couldn't use their AFR meter because of my exhausts. I'll have to take it to a chassis dyno guy that can throw one in the dumps to get a reading. I am also due to see a carb guy that specializes in Rochester carbs. Not sure if I just made any senseThe charts appear not to be monitoring A/F ratio?Also what did the timing curve look like?
