should I go up to a higher # power valve on the primary like a 8.5 or 9.5 due to my high vacuum reading? what about smaller secondary main jets and adding a power valve instead of the factory plug?

I have some size 18 nozzles! The 31/32 nozzles were a big help over the 21/21 setup. I might drop a couple sizes on my main jets.

Yesterday after work I piddled with the car. I changed the primary squirter from 21 to 31, and the secondary squirter from 21 to 35. Swiftly mashing the pedal to half throttle the car reacted much better. Swiftly mashing the pedal to the floor the car felt like it had a flat spot right off...

They are clean

If I put a red or brown pump cam up front, should I leave the small #21 squirt nozzle up front?

I have 20" vacuum in gear at idle

I need some advice getting my Holley 750 DP to work right on my 440/727 auto with stock converter. 3.23:1 gears. Timing is dialed in. Float levels are correct. The motor is near stock besides carb, electronic ignition, headers, mild cam, and windage tray. The car drives fine cruising and...

Thank you; that explains it much better. I will have to check my voltage at the 6 wire connection vs at the battery. Check it running or just key on? Also, is there anything I can/should do if there is voltage drop?

So i ran it last night like my diagram showed, voltage reg. getting 12v (key on) from wiper motor. It ran, but was discharging on the ammeter and sounded like it was misfiring. Battery showed 11.5 volts at idle. Can anyone explain? I tied 6 wires together (IGN 1 blue, IGN 2 brown, MSD box...

ok, so my charging system will be fine if i have the blue IGN 1, MSD small red, the distributor red, the brown IGN 2, and alternator new 2nd field wire ALL tied into the voltage regulator?? for the ammeter, should i put fusible link on alt. side AND battery side of ammeter to be safe? or should...

just want to know if the charging system will work correctly if i get power to the voltage regulator from a 12V IGN source at the wiper motor (12v only when key is in run position) or does the voltage regulator HAVE to utilize the dark blue "run" wire coming from terminal "N" on the bulkhead...

Bob, is having all these wires tied together going to cause issues? blue (run) to regulator, Brown (start), MSD red, dist. red, and new wire from regulator to alternator kind of a mess. I don't have a resistor, and the MSD box and dist. need both the blue (run) and the brown (start) wires...

i want to know if i can bring 12v ign source to the regulator from somewhere else, will it still work properly or does it have to be THAT wire? i want to tie blue (start) and brown (run) together, & connect to MDSred/distributor red. Then get 12v ign to the regulator from a IGN hot source on...
