Default Another update on my new engine!

After talking to Curtis (Mountainmotor) on the 1977 Corvette Forum - I finally decided to return the RPM style intake I purchased and stayed with my TM-1 (I will also have my mechanic match the ports to the gasket). I purchased a MSD 6AL instead!!! I might have to change carbs too because single plane intakes work better with mechanical secondaries... However - I will see how my current carb (80508 - 750 Holley with Proform main body) works with the new combination...

:cheers:

Olivier
