Heh, surely y'all are kidding... :D I may not be as old as some of the gentlemen on here but I'm still old enough to be tickled pink to be called "kid". :)

OK. Final follow-up on this thread. I just popped out the plugs that I'd put in new after getting the heads back on and before going on my little drive (and a second short drive). For me, this is...

Yeah. I had a fuse inline on one of those wires from the alternator. I also dropped the power steering pump against it. Brief fireworks and the fuse went. Was a little later that I found that I'd...

Steve,

So, I've got the idle dialed in for best vacuum but it's at around 3/4 of a turn out which makes me feel that circuit is a bit fat. The old combo was the same 73 jets with 42B rods and it...

My carb is 7041262 which would be correct for 455 and 1971 and automatic but not HO. My compression is a little higher and displacement a little larger thanks to a .030 over rebuild with the SpeedPro...

So, I've learned that for best results I need to use the "B" rods that are appropriate for my 1971 QJet. I've got a "tuneup" set of the later rods (non-"B") from Holley (they sold the kits to go with...

AG, you've shamed me into doing some research on top of what I've kind of vaguely gathered over the years as an "understanding". As Siri might say, "here's what I've found:"
