    New carburetor prices are high.

    I honestly think it is a combination of alot of things... such as merchants loading up prices before costs hit to balance out total liability in wearhoused stock (i.e., start raising proces to reset the market with existing low-cost stock to maximize profits before getting into massive drops in...

    Gauges work, then don’t, then do

    put in drive, then park, then reverse, and then in neutral. If the guages do their wried on/off in both park and nutral... you may have an issue with the NSS wireing. This could be related to how you terminated to the new starter relay. as for amp guage... if it is connected to anything other...

    New carburetor prices are high.

    I got a Brawler less than a year ago and now the same carb is roughly 20% more. Prices are definitely going up.

    Aftermarket head / roller rocker not mating together

    Side note... BTW.. 270 heads with 1:6 rockers... that will flow really nicely... curious as to what intake and cam you're running.

    Lower control arm bushing.

    holy sh!t. lose calipers... if that was my car I'd be ripping the entire brake system apart and redoing everything. if the po can't tighten a bolt or get a seal right, who knows what else is about to fail and send you into a tree. peddle travel... based on what you're saying about other...

    Aftermarket head / roller rocker not mating together

    You have to get the right/correct hold downs. The shim will chew the alum pedestal. It will eventually cause pretty nasty problems - rocker misalignment, shaving in the oil, etc. 440 source's hold downs tend to work well with TF heads... 240's and 270's.

    check the strut bushing at the front.

    I've read through a few posts that cover (Somewhat) what I am trying to figure out. Carb suggestion request

    If a crisp street muscle is what you're looking for... then I would avoid an 850, and 750 is starting to sound like your go to. At that point it comes down to manual or vac secondaries :) I hate to say it... and I know I'm going to get flak for saying this... but I'm not a fan of eddy carbs. I...

    Cool - thx. Just a gut reaction... If you have power brakes, I would lean in the direction of 750. Good vac and you'll have good throttle response. But, you might lose a bit at the top end of the 1/4. Or, go 850 with a tiny bit less vac, which is ok with manual master, and have a little more run...

    I'm with @PurpleBeeper ... 750 minimum, prefer 850. I have a not-to-dissimilar 440 in my 72 with a 750 and it's a touch too small IMHO. Just out of curiosity, what's the duration at 0.050? Sorta speaks to RPM range and airflow demand...

    66 charger rear wheel well mouldings.

    I have a set... somewhere. But I know they're a bit beat up. I'll take pics once I find them, if you're interested - let me know. If you're looking for perfect, I'm not your guy.

    8 ¾” flange.

    First reaction is ... wow that's a thick plate. I would pop the caliper mount on and then the caliper to check centerline. The spacer may be needed to push the mount/caliper out to ensure its centered on the disk.

    Filter position

    If using a stock mechanical pump, I typically will put a filter directly after it to protect systems down flow... like a regulator and carb. If electric pump, pre and post pump, with tighter filter (lower micron) on the post side, which is before the carb/regulator.
