Maybe not, like the guys said above it takes some attention to detail to make it work but I have had an early 273 with a Performer that worked fine for many years as a daily driver.

To be clear, are you saying a Performer intake won't fit heads with the early bolt angle?

Yoga mats (at least the cheap ones) are polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are non porous (closed cell structure) and a non absorbent material.

I used a cut up yoga mat.

Thanks. Been having a bear of a time getting my shift points dialed in.

Great write up thanks! Does the kickdown to throttle ratio adapter still aplly for a cable setup like Lokar?

Yep. For Fs Sake! The guy went out of his way to try something and took the time to share that info with all of us. This sight is a virtual goldmine of how to's and have done's. Not a pissing contest.

Nice thread, thanks Trudysduster for sharing.

Hi All, I've been putting off this project for 3 years but now it is time to get it done. My tank and probably my lines also are cruddy and need to be replaced. I was looking to get a spectra tank and a fuel sender with a return. I also have to replace the filler tube because a PO had used...

Yeah it's rusty in and out. I've seen new ones for <$200 so figured I might as well just replace it. Plus the filler neck has been fused to the tank with some sort of Goop or expoxy from the Prev Owner so I have a feeling it's going to be a half-day job getting them out. I found out last night...

Thanks. Like I said, I'm replacing it all in a few weeks.

Aye aye on that. I have Sept 22nd weekend set up for replacing them all. I was just hoping to thin out the goop until then so it idles a little better.

I ran out of gas the other day (gauge has been reading off lately) and the tank-crud has filled the line and carb and it stumbles and sputters now. The tank needs to be replaced badly but I don't have the time until mid September to do it. I got some Seafoam after reading some threads here on...

There's a whole edelbrock carb series on Youtube. YouTube - Edelbrock Carburetor Installation and Troubleshooting Part 5 - Troubleshooting Also, this is a must-have so print it out: http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/carbs_acc/pdf/carb_owners_manual.pdf

Got it today. Looks and works excellent. Thanks Steve.

You bet. Thanks for making an affordable solution.

Sold! I like that one better than my original!

was it something in their database or a try-and-fit situation?

Someone stole my gas cap today :( Only replacement ones are $60+ on Ebay if you can find them. I tried a few at Napa and Carquest but all were too big. Anyone ever find an interchangeable cap that fit these skinny little necks?

Thanks Man! Learning a lot from this little project.

Thanks everyone, I stepped up the rods a step richer and man what a difference! Idles much better, runs a bit cooler, and doesn't stumble out of idle.

it's the performer 600 (1405) on the performer intake. I am pretty sure it has a mild cam (guessing the performer as well). Besides those and the 2 1/2" exhaust everything seems pretty stock. I'm guessing there's a shift kit in the 904 too.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have the Calibration Kit en route and will now be prepared to install as soon as it gets here!

Hi Gang. After some troubleshooting and lots and lots of reading the forums I have ordered an Edelbrock calibration kit to richen my 273 a bit. When trying to find an actual manual, vids, or pics of the process of swapping the jets/rods I come up with nothing. I have the Edelbrock Carb manual...

Thanks for the info guys. At this point, by the appearance of the outside of the tank and the color of the sludge coming out of it, I am probably going to order a new tank. And while I am at it replacing the hardware too. I have been battling a stutter issue too and replacing all of the rusted...

Hi gang. Filled my car up yesterday and when i went into the garage this morning was overwhelmed with fumes. Was hoping it was just overspill through the vents but once underneath I noticed a big hillbilly-fixerall glob of something where the filler tube meets to the tank.( see Pic). The leak...
