I'd start with a gauge and monitor your pressures. Sounds like a leak.

If you use an older setup, just make sure the servo seals well. You're fine at 11" as long as it holds vacuum well. Mine was a early-mid 70's setup

I see it's a JET and I've had more than one of those apart. Therefore "all bets are off" and please disregard everything I wrote previously.

DGs are a fair amount richer, and not just at the power tips. But use them for sure. "K" hanger is good when experimenting/swapping. If no access to an afr meter, then you have to make moderate...

Richen up the secondaries at WOT. If you're running a Q-jet, this is a 5 minute job, or LESS time than it takes to change 1 spark plug.. If you're currently lean at WOT, that'll cause the EGT to...

I'd try 2 things before deciding to swap heads....first, I'd try richening up the carb a bit and see if that helps. The other thing I'd try would be to switch to a 160degree t-stat if you've not...

My suggestion would be to run a '79 or '80 Pontiac Q-jet. Besides having the larger secondaries, IIRC, those year carbs have the holes correctly positioned for the TV cable hook-up.

This would be how I'd go about it also. Part of the recipe to do it cleanly is the '72-up intake which has the bolt bosses for the throttle bracket cast in the updated location. The '71-earlier...

I've seen it too. It doesn't happen very often, but any imperfection in the "skin" and the float will quickly deteriorate and absorb fuel.

Thread lubrication could account for the differences, too. Not sure if it specifies or is "asterisked", but it would make sense if it were 65 ft/lbs with light oil, vs. 75-85 for dry threads, for...

I don't know if they're coated on the inside, but if you email Paul at RARE, I bet he could tell you. He's done ceramic coating for years, not only on the manifolds he sells, but headers as well.

If you want stock appearing, then use a pan with a front drain...the later ones (around '70) changed to a driver's side drain.

If it were me, and considering the engine harness is likely original, which puts it at >50years old....I think I'd just buy a new engine harness.

Very nice. I had a similar rear setup on the '67 Lamnas. Is that a .875" or 1.000" rear bar?

Don't assume that fully assembled eheads are ready to run. On mine, the stock valve job from Edelbrock on the exhaust side was .005" OOR which is a lot. The ports were pretty rough too.
