Have you run into interference with the left exhaust hitting the steering box? Or have you changed the steering gear?

Well, from what I have read, the GM engineers at the factory said to use it so if its good enough for GM then its good enough for me. I just ordered some, thanks again for the link.

The rear carb on my tri power 348 is sucking air. In spite of my best efforts, I can't get the throttle butterflys to seal off inside the throttle. There is a tiny bit of light coming through. I can't find any DAG213 or whatever Gm called their fix for a sealer. Has anyone used anything else...

Yeah, I read that post on the hamb. If I were you I would concentrate on the Vette parts. They are worth some good money. Its really hard to find used Vette salvage parts for the older ones.

I asked at the hamb about this engine a year or two ago. No one there knew anything about it then. Evidently not many people have even seen it.
