They removed the 850 CFM race carburetor and replaced it with an 800 CFM Carter TQ (electric choke). Leaving the rest for the time being. They live in the country, and figure when driven, the engine will be warm before the first stop sign. They have a stock intake and a stock flywheel if testing reveals idle issues. Hope they can keep the aluminum flywheel; for those that have never driven a car with one, it REALLY changes the ability of the engine to rev higher and faster.
It did idle nicely as 850~950 RPM once the engine is hot. If it gets hot before they reach the city, there won't be a problem.
