360 4bbl

I'm having this problem with My '72 Duster (400 B) right now.
I know there's a few short comings I have to address. One of the first things I discovered last night was the choke linkage was bent on my TQ. It was t opening up all the way which would explain the lack luster performance and rich running engine.

The other two items on the list are fuel line routing and battery cable. It's to short and runs to close to the headers tubes. The fuel line runs along a hot path next to on top of the cylinder heads and block.

Rerouting of these two items should help a lot.
(If not, I might be back asking questions! LOL!)
