I have a 1970-71 Big Block LH exhaust manifold casting 2951865. The date code is 4.22.71. Price is $250 plus shipping within the U.S. and Canada.

Thanks. I asked because the spec shows it still exceeds the Edelbrock recommendation of 6.0 psi.

No regulator. Just the pump.

I have an Edelbrock AVS on my freshly built 440. Edelbrock specifies a regulator if pressure exceeds 6.5 psi. I rifled through my files and found that the Carter mechanical pump I have produces 8.5 psi. Several people I spoke to thought it was odd that a regulator would be required with this...

A lot of reinforcing ideas. I’ll keep plodding along and check the lifters, compression, etc.

I think 1968 was the first year to use the turn signal lever for the cruise.

Do you have a pic of your connector?

This is a used 1970 B-Body style cruise control turn signal lever. It will work on other models and years. - Tested and works. - Lever has been painted. The original silver plating (not chrome) was mildly rusty. - Black plastic is in very nice condition. - Chrome barrel is in good condition but...
