Can anyone help with a decoder ring for a 64 Belvedere data plate?

Just to let you know I bought one from Jegs, got a bunch off when combined with the carb I bought.

Super cool help, thanks folks!

Thanks for the passive-agressive comment. I am only repeating what I have read. Too bad you don't have patients for newbies.

Is there a DIY anywhere? I am a mechanical engineer and pretty good with that, but electricity baffles me.

Still avail? Pardon my ignorance, but will this work with an MSD box?

Bunch of good information, thanks!

Is there any way to tell or estimate the stall speed of a converter without taking the trans out and looking at a part number?

Yes, certainly. But I was hoping there would be some kind of consensus about the question I posed. I learned a lot from the thread, but no easy direction to follow.

Well obviously a lot of people with way more experience than I have regarding carbs and camshafts. Seems some say the AVS will be OK, others say it will be worse or no different. Some say "just change the cam", well easier said than done, that's what I have to work with, no plans or ability to...

What the hell is going on here? This shows up on an Amazon search, what's the dealio with the first one? Looks wrong and no way should a new car be only $179.

Agree about the cam, but that's what it came with. I doubt I would ever race it, just want a street beast to fool around with, and take to car shows, it has a top flight resto on the body and interior.

Yes, I know the cam makes this not really a street engine, the DP throws too much gas off idle and as such has to be tuned carefully or it will not be smooth.

Why do you say the AVS will not have the idle curcuit capacity not enough vacuum with that cam?

Yes current carb is a 4781. Yes, that is the cam from Crower. Not shure why the previous owner chose it (I wouldn't have gone so hot), but that's what I have to work with.
