    Excessive brake pedal travel

I think B-Body power disc brake master cylinder bores are around 1" - 1.125". How far is the pedal from the floor to start with? Is the brake booster pushrod...

    heat or no heat for the intake

    If you’re running a divorced choke, blocking the crossover could be a problem. With an electric choke or no choke at all, I don’t see a problem. I have no choke and a blocked crossover, cold idle is a little erratic but drivability improves and the idle is fine within a couple blocks.

    69 Intake Manifold Heat Crossover Advice

    I would leave the intake gasket as is and disable the choke. For a fair weather cruiser I don’t think a choke is a necessity.

In a high pressure fuel injection system it’s not an issue, but with carburetors the fuel system pressure is much lower and prone to vapor lock. The fix could be as...
