Rebuilding the 6-Pack this Winter

I would buy new, as you have a willing buyer. I would call holley and see if you can get all the pieces, price it out vs new, then figure out if it is worth it.
 
By the looks of you baseplates all 3 would need to change to use mopar linkage, and you need the linkage for the other side to hook to the pods, it gets$$$.

Damn this is sounding expensive. Would I have to run that idle speed solenoid, or can I get by without it? That thing is around $175.

No need for the solenoid unless you need a high idle speed and your engine diesels on shutoff.
 
I rebuilt my original carbs last winter, vacuum pods and all. I had over $200 just in gaskets and related hardware. Works like a charm tho, very responsive and no bog at all. All tuned by ear, and following the “6pak tuning” thread here was golden.

I also do not see tubes on the right side of the carbs for the vacuum lines.

I just reread the linked post by you, and other than having a dual wideband O2 sensor system installed a year ago at least, I haven't learned or done much regarding my 6bbl. The Promax mods lend towards easier tuning and rejetting, but I'm now working on tweaking all of the other stuff added to my car, mainly the hydraulic clutch, and once I get that, then on to the HitMaster launch control, Assassin traction bars and the new rear and existing front Viking shocks. I think a rejetting is important to work in there somewhere as I'm cruising in the mid to high 11:XX A/F ratio range.
 
Vacuum setup, IMO, is going to be much better for your particular application, if I understand it correctly, mostly stock street driven?

Yes mostly stock and street driven. Mild purple camshaft (don't know the specs) and headers. However, I am saving my pennies for an engine rebuild and hoping to get it up to the 550hp range.

550HP is common for a 6bbl stroker build, and I have seen many over 600HP as a 505-512 was my plan for a couple of years. I finally took the first step and put a deposit on a Bill Mitchell Products aluminum block, and since I stepped up there, I am also going to 541 cu in.
Because my 70 Roadrunner is a V-Code, I have always said it would always have a 3x2 intake, but with the displacement of the planned build, it makes sense to go to Max Wedge size ports. I have the old school Super Stock 6bbl intake from Weiand that will have to be modded to MW port size. I guess there's a chance that I may do an Indy Mod Man 6bbl top instead, depending on what happens when I ask Wilson Manifolds about modding the Weiand. I really want to use the Weiand because it looks so cool, and I know that may seem wrong, and max 6bbl performance is what most would seek, but then again I would have 541 cu in of stroker to help in that regard.
The mechanical 6bbl seems to be the natural mate to the Weiand, but I am going to try the ones I have now first.

I would love to have the money you have spent or contemplating spending on your vehicles, to invest in the stock market....there are some significant opportunities to be had that will return far more "bang for the buck" in terms of capital gains and return on investment than any vehicle modification.....but this is just me... I'd rather have the cash..... Just my opinion of course.

Well Bob, I don't have anyone to leave any money to, my wife is better off than I am, and the Roadrunner and however much time I may have left to enjoy it is where I have been investing what I have. I've covered in a number of posts and threads why I didn't go the "stock" route of restoration, I have friends who like to go to the drag strip as do I, and I enjoy local car show participation and taking my car to the track, although that was only a few times a year because of traction problems, which I have focused on resolving in my latest round of mods.
As far as the aluminum block, I thought about the chances I had to get a good factory block for a stroker, and I decided to get the BMP block instead.
I've lost 3 friends my age in as many years. "Tomorrow" or next time or next year aren't guaranteed. I may not make it through today.
Just my opinion...

I understand your point exactly.....yes...there is no guarantee of tomorrow. Its just a matter of personal preference. All that I've accumulated over the years will go directly to my wife and my designated surviving family via an "In Trust For" account that allows direct transfer of assets, bypassing all Federal and State probate provisions, basically tax free to the benefactors. I wish you well with your endeavours and hope they turn out as expected.
