RPM Airgap
Well it's done. I took .080 off each side and .040 off front and rear and it was perfect fit after and the shop only charged me $80.00.
Pay no mind to the rest of the wire mess and clutter I still have much more work to do under there. Of course I had to deal with throttle and kick down linkage as well because of the height difference in the intakes.
I originally bought a lokar knock off before I searched the reviews and it sucked just like everybody says. The biggest problem with it is that there us no stiff inner lining under the steal braided mesh and it kinked where it came out of the firewall Esp the quick turn it has to make to get around the valve cover.
I tried some other stuff but with no welder it was near impossible to make things that would work and not look all cobbled up. I went to the local advanced auto and they had a mr gasket universal throttle cable that worked perfect. It attached onto the gas pedal bracket exactly like the original and hooked up perfect at the carb when used with there throttle cable bracket. After some drive and test I took The kick down and just for now affixed it in one position in the old throttle cable bracket so it would allow the trans to shift properly.
I will add pics and part numbers for the mister gasket stuff.
