Edelbrock makes like a 1/16" plate that will seal it fine. No need for a thick adapter or spacer.

Technically, it is. Though people will argue. The proper classification for the smaller AFB and AVS carburetors is spread bore, but square flange. Most people only call a carburetor spread bore if the secondaries are the size of beer cans like The TQ and Quadrajet. So, for garage speak, the...

Fluid Film is the bees knees and that's no joke.

Well A bodies ARE appreciating greatly, but not THAT great. lol

That's gotta be a joke ad.

You got that right, not to mention the sprockets being machined poorly with the keyways in the wrong places. Add that to the cheap chain stretching and you can really stack the lack of tolerances up! I've seen a timing set come up almost 12 degrees retarded on a big block Chevy and that was with...

Been rat cheer. lol

This is the first I've heard of it. @Bighead440 is really sharp with this stuff. Maybe he will chime in.

Purdy cool truck!

Good, then you use it.

Maybe you could step back a bit and get another picture where we can see even less detail.

Here is the distributor slot sizes for the given advance degrees. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/distributor-advance.229240/#post-1969917374

At idle or part throttle the vacuum advance will be activated. Won't hurt a thing at part throttle as it's not under load. But don't forget, you're going to have to limit the total mechanical advance to around 34 degrees (without the vacuum can hooked up) to keep spark knock at bay. So you're...

Read through this. Maybe it will help. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/manifold-vacuum-experiment.556664/

No. When the engine revs, the vacuum drops off, so the vacuum advance would drop out on acceleration. If your vacuum advance is adjustable, turn the adjustment screw all the way clockwise to start with and go from there.

Yeah, that's too much total anyway. Generally, big blocks like a little less total than small blocks. Most times in the 30-34 degree range. That's a fairly lumpy camshaft, so I would recommend trying the vacuum advance on manifold vacuum with about 40 degrees initial with the vacuum advance...

If you have the distributor locked, I'm out. I don't have any experience with that, nor do I recommend it, so my advice would be pointless.

The tensioner is for use with only one style of double roller chain and I cannot remember which one it is. There are two basic designs. One has dog bone shaped links and the other has straight oval links. I THINK the dog bone link style is for use with the tensioner, but I am not 100% sure. One...

It was as precise as I know how without comin over there and doin it for you. If you cannot figure it out from that, then I don't know what else I can say. I said you were correct and I added what else to do. I was very precise.

Yeah it kinda didn't work out well, did it?

When I made my comment, I didn't mean I wasn't interested in THIS particular subject, rather, I am pretty much uninterested in anything other than my own projects. I have a lot to do on Vixen and Gladys both and I don't take time out to watch a lot of videos at all. I watch the scarce few, like...

That's a mighty big and expensive change you're thinkin about when there could still be some left in the tune. Can you get specific with your tune? We might can help more. Now if you just WANT aluminum heads, then that's a different matter altogether.

S'kinda what I was thAnkin. lol

Preach it, brother!

Correct. Just have your timing light hooked up and ready to read right off the bat. Get the RPM up to about 3K and pull in about 36 degrees of timing.

Meh, I wouldda gone for a little more than 7, but that should bust it right off and you can add to from there. Nice work.

I agree that the cfm size is adequate, but that 1407, man they have a lot of issues even new and I don't think Edelbrock has ever addressed them. Running lean, surging and on and on. You can find page after page of problems with them on the internet. I have one myself and went through it...

When I give information and get smarted off, yeah. Congrats, you made the list.

Has the car ever had the engine mounted on the K frame since you've had it?

What "complexy" would there be in changing from one small block to another? If you think simple things like one motor mount and different flex plate or flywheel are complexities, maybe another hobby is in order.
