I thought I posted it before somewhere, but I couldn't find it. At a stable idle it is 10 psi. When it slows down it starts oscillating and goes down to 8 psi. Going down means below about 1250 RPM. I'm still working on the center carb to get it work better with this engine and cam.

It's pretty stock. I still have the original stock springs in it. I have boxed control arms in the back, and the frame stiffeners that tie the front mounting point of the uppers and lowers together. It also has air bags. IIRC the front shocks are 45/55, and the rears are 50/50. I tried (and still have) 70/30's on the front and I didn't like them. However, it was a good way to scare people in parking lots by popping the front end up.

Sound like fun Jim, I had a dry day , rare here, so I took my '74 out and did some long burnouts to clear the plugs and make some noise.
Do you live anywhere near Jess Tyree ? I have been trying to get hold of him for some help on my "63 Gasser project.
Thanks Butch
