1965 GT350/R-Model / Re: 5S276 Fuel distribution problem?

If intake modification or swapping intakes isn't desirable, at the very least, I would retard the timing and/or jet the secondaries to richen the leanest cylinders.

IMO, all non-tunnel ram/Webber intakes have a lean runner(s) somewhere. If you run hard, you will find out which one eventually.

Until it has been singing at 6,700-7,000 rpm for a while.

Not my engine, go for it, right?

Yeah, lean cylinders are not a problem.........until they are.

Ever blow an engine up on a few lean cylinders? I have. It sucks.

It was the non-tunnel ram, un-corrected intake that caused my meltdown.

I can understand not wanting to touch an original intake (equalizing flow) but if you want to run the engine hard on a regular basis, an option would be a flow equalized repro (Art Francis) intake manifold.

Easy bolt-on/bolt-off proposition.

rates up there with lime green.........phred

I like the modern interpretation of both of these colors.

Deeper color appears much more rich.

Robbery comes to mind........one of many reasons we left California years ago!

Not just Cali. In Seattle metro area, 10% sales tax on purchase and 1% per year for transit tax.

Easy to spend $20,000 on taxes buying a 50 year old Mustang

CSX1000, 4000, 7000, 8000 / Re: Any other CSX 4000 owners on SAAC?

Totally - not a problem with finding the size you need with the M/T sportsman ST.  295/50r15 in the rear and 235/60r15 in the front, or even 245/60r15 and other sizes available, too.

I believe the Cooper Cobra, Mickey Thompson and BFG's are the same tire carcass, made at one location with tread a sidewall script specific to that brand.

Car is original. Engine is Blue Thunder on top of a CS block. Bryant crank, Carillo rods, no expense spared kind of build.

But the architecture is real FE.

Of course, We use RON + MON/2 = octane but still, lets get rid of that 87 crap.

And alcohol while were at it!
