I actually have two gauges on it, a fancy aftermarket electric and a cheap mechanical. Both agree with each other within a few psi. Both are plumbed to the stock location at the filter housing.

That's me, Jeremy :D

My top is never up until winter, and winter here in Georgia is short. Driving an open-top car hard just adds to the exhileration (fun) factor!

The only fast car I have left is my 69 Lemans vert and I drive it exactly the way I intended when I built it. I didn't get too radical with the engine (maybe 400 HP) and kept the exhaust quiet. ...

I had a brand new Cliff-built carb do the exact same thing. But I had an A/F meter and it was very obvious the engine was flooding out.

I ran 93 non-ethanol for years until very recently. I noticed some light pinging and discovered the station had reduced the octane of their non-ethanol gas to 91. So now my Lemans is getting some...

All I've ever done is test-and-tune on street rubber, various cars and various tires but never slicks.

Stay out of water if you can, and think chirp, not burnout. Just enough spin to clean off...

I had the same problem on a 74 TA. The dome light would come on when I stepped on the brakes. It turned out to be a bad fuse but I don't remember which one.

It never made sense to me since the...

Just to be clear I was not suggesting that you cut slots on a good Clif-built carb. Mine was just a temporary cheap Chevy carb that I had kicking around, so nothing to lose. Just relating the...
