Holy Smokes! The Walbro GSl392 it is.. 119.00 at Summit and free shipping
I see you are using an MSD ignition
What spark retard system do you recomend? I have an MSD 6AL
I spot the accumulator , is the 360 a corner carver?
I really appreciate your help Sir!!!

Thanks for the kind words!!!

The Walbro is a lot of pump for the money, and is dead-quiet...

My 360 has an MSD Boost timing master retard unit, which includes the module (You can throw away your orange/chrome box.) It has a dash-mounted control knob that allows you to retard the spark either not at all, or one, two, or three degrees for each pound of boost it "sees" up to a total of fifteen degrees. Handy for running various octane fuels. It is not compatible with a 6-A-L since it is not a regular multiple-spark-discharge unit.... rather, an analog module, at 42,000-volts, which seemed to be plenty; it never mis-fired at ten pounds of boost on my 360.

The Moroso accumulator is on our slant six drag car (turbo'd.) The 360 car is just a street/strip/daily-driver... a low-11 second sedan with an engine that is 100% stock except for a 750 Holley and the hydraulic roller Hughes cam and valve springs (and roller rockers.) Just a fun car...
We haven't had a chance to put the slant six car on a set of clocks, but the hope is that it will outrun the V8 car. Talk is cheap; we'll see this year...
