Looks great
I like it at-least, "With the left side hoses & the shorty lines"
it looks like it's a whole lot easier to access base plate
mounting studs/nuts {bolts}, not having the distributor, wires,
coil, center carb vent, choke stove etc. in the mix & in the way...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to remove at a min the center fuel line portion of mine,
{mine is OE location with -6 A/N} on the right side at the carb
just to access the baseplate mounting nuts, mine is studded also
had to trim the right front stud on the center carb just to clear
{interference} the fittings too
I made the hoses as short as possible & still have enough pliability
to get them on & off "somewhat painlessly"
I also have mine on phenolic spacers too, so far so good...
BUT;
I do need to fatten it a tad bit, after the spacers, again...
I'm going try {?}
to go up 2 jett sizes all around, should compensate enough
I have no problems with vapor lock {so far}
I have no heat riser to the manifold & alum. Eddy heads
& mounted MP 383-400 6bbl Intake, A12 6bbl lift off hood too
gets plenty of air, thru a K&N 3" 6bbl filter...
I may have to mess with the idle circuit a tad too, go down /fatten
it's showing lean on the plugs, after the spacers & new -6 A/N lines
{
I ran the lines & bypass reg. farther forward by the rad support &
to the front of the engine,,so not to get any exhaust heat or albeit
heat from the side of the alum. rad, may effect it some, it far less anyway}
seems that it likes/wants a bit more fuel...
My new upswept & towards the rear & down the fire wall,
style headers, I'm still fab-ing up
{
it has the HP robbing, ported honed HP manifolds on it currently, still lots of heat}
will sweep up a tad bit too, much like the 63-64 S/S Manifolds
so I wanted it far way from that too...
I figured it'd be fat as hell, if anything after I put the HP manifolds back on,
because I had steering clearance issues with the rack & pinion,
with the headers, but to my surprise, I still need to fatten it up some,
so much for figuring...LOL
I guess them being ported, they work better than I figured...
