At my wit's end

Thanks for the advice. We are going to the pick n pull this weekend to grab the HEI components. I already have HEI in my Ranchero, and as much as the Ford people give me crap for it, it has always run great with it. Really the only thing we need to grab is the electric distributor with vacuum/mechanical advance. I have most of the other parts (e-coil and HEI module) in the garage already.

Ordered a rebuild kit for the carb yesterday, but it wont get here until Monday at the earliest. Hoping that the float is ok since those seem to be few and far between and expensive. Told my wife that next time I have to rebuild her carb I am just going to put EFI on the slant. The Holley 1920 seems to be fading into history as fewer and fewer parts are made for it.

I've been converting my Ranchero over to an early 90's Thunderbird EFI and will eventually replace that with a MegaSquirt system. I don't really want to go with TBI on the slant six when I do it, but being as I don't have the real tools to make a custom intake that's what we'll have to do at least initially. This is probably another year or two down the road anyhow.

I'll let everyone know how the conversion process goes with the HEI and then the carb rebuild next week.
