I finally got the boost problem sort of fixed. Seem to have been some film or a particle in th eboost valve limiting me to about 13 psi. I may need a new ball but for now I've got it limited to 15 till I get to drive it some. Seems that 15 " vacuum is about normal for the A-237 camshaft. I'll start playing with the adjustable cam sprocket this week. Seem a lot of guys have found 4* advance a good setting. I've detected some hints of surging, probably the same thing Dan ran into. Soon as I run the tank empty I'll drop a 190 Walbro in it and get an adjustable FPR in the system. I can really feel a need for a bypass valve now so I'm going to have to figure out how to plumb that in.

haha, i couldn't help but laugh at that. sorry, it's a tad bit late and i'm feeling pretty weird and tired. you know how that is....
GaryS#2, the words T-bird and finished are mutually exclusive (lol)
Steve, after I get my foot out of my mouth, I'll probably need two new ones, one for the boost valve and one to replace the one that has been twisted out of shape by this project, hehe
