69 gts restoration

Just read thru this entire thread, and enjoyed every bit of it!! Great work and beautiful car! It definitely inspired me, but low on $$. With dads 67 "S" we found that with the new Eddy carb, it mounted fine on his stock 273 4bbl intake, but the choke linkage etc was hitting the intake manifold. We needed to raise the carb approx 1/4". He bought I believe the same spacer that 340sfastback posted. I wasnt there when he bought or installed it, but it was an Edelbrock part, and the guy at the speed shop said the purpose for it was to stop the fuel from percolating, the same problem you mentioned. Dad hasnt come across this problem yet. Great job on everything!! By the way you should make a seperate thread with the regulator install and get it made a "sticky" Sucks about your heater core too, but in reality its a small hurdle considering what you have done! Kudos!!
