That was no “kinda snowballed” that was a honking avalanche! Great work.No build thread. Started out as a disc brake upgrade and kinda snowballed... The thread I have on Brakes for your classic MOPAR has most of the saga in there.

Big bosses all in this week. We are trying to sort out details for my last thirty days. The COO has already requested I come back up here for Board Meeting next month. Arghh! I figure they will at very least buy a bunch of diesel for a trailer load!

Well I rock my legendary FABO calendar at work, I flip it over this morning only to find….. yep, wildly inappropriate for my office! Hah! So I flip it forward a month to Sept and we got BD smooching his new wife. Left that one up! Calendar makes me laugh every month!
It is Hoppy Month you know!
I actually think that roll your own worked well this year.
Polo?
First, dual exhaust...
Then add 4 bbl and cam if desired...
Make sure to replace stock timing chain with double roller....
Edelbrock performer intake sucks, get an Edelbrock LD4B or wiand Stealth dual plane....

Good morning everyone. I hope all is well. Couple more weeks working at home. Anxious to get back to the lab, but this sure has its advantages. No driving, saves gas. Hours are what I make them, etc.
Like being retired.
I beleive that is true but don't know that for certain.
The last carb I bought NIB was a 3310-3 in 1989. At that time new Holleys came with tan gaskets and I dont recall blue gaskets for sale until a couple years later.
Or the gasket split when removed. I find that is really common.
I spy
a metering plate.
Surprised it didn't leak externally without the plate. Some plates also have a sheetmetal gasket of sorts.
Maybe.
Fuel only flows to the boosters when the air velocity is high enough.
Fuel flows to the transfer slots when they see manifold vacuum.
The secondary transfer slots are high up but slightly opening hte secondary throttles would expose them.
edit: without the the plate

You do work hard. A lot harder than I am capable of. I just don't have it in me any more. Your new house really added to that though.
It did wore me out to the point I was down and sick for a month last winter.
You worked hard too for all you have. Now with the wife retiring hopefully you can do things and go places.
I enjoy having Cheryl at home we're good for each other!!
