Well I believe we got the problem solved. The magnetic pickup in the distributor was bad. Replaced it and everything seems ok. Replaced the spark plug wires, distributor cap & rotor. Went through the carbs & checked the floats, etc. replaced the orange springs with the yellow ones & put in larger metering rods for the SLC area. Cars seems to be running good & now idles. Going to Woodburn this weekend for their Oldies Event, hopefully it will run good. Will put in smaller metering rods for sea level racing & hope for the best. Last time at Woodburn was not good. Will meet up with Paul & a few other 409's for a great weekend. If everything goes okay will see you all in Earlville in about 3 weeks. Take care.

OK...Joel's motor blew, not due to the carbs or anything but a mechanical problem. This is how components get a bad name. Not picking on Joel, just saying. But we missed him in Iowa.
