Don't forget you've got dual 4 barrels there which could probably use a thorough going through. The car sat more than it was driven the last two years or so.

I don't know what Fred did to prep it prior to the sale r what you have done thus far, but I would start with a thorugh tune of the engine and carbs, find the sweet timing spot, get those carbs tweaked and then leave them alone.

He had the carbs rebuilt during the process of us negotiating.... then he said he had it tuned up by someone nearby. yes i understand the 15-18 loss. but that would be a 34% loss. Hopefully the engine guys down here can help me out....
