    Do throttle body or carb spacers actually help?

    I tend to go with the dryer duct, big factory air cleaner, but because my truck sees as much cold as hot I leave the stove doors, vacuum thermostats, etc., in place and build a stove for both sides to wrap around a header tube, but I think the only gain is winter drivability, if i do see a gain...

    Are these modern carburetors a big improvement?

    multiple AI assured me (google, bing and a knock off) that a 670 cfm carb was huge and would over fuel a 440 or 454, best small carb for a bbc or bbm "700 to 750 cfm holly dp" or, also suggest was 1000cfm

    do you use a battery isolator? I use a 140amp princess auto 2 wire unit, it is mounted to the inner fender well away from heat sources, its little ecu constantly monitors voltage at each terminal if the source terminal drops <12.6v it opens separating the vehicle source from the trailer load, if...

    1980 Scottsdale C30 3 fuel doors but just 1 tank? adding a tank or 2 and in tank fuel pumps

    gearing is currently unk, but with a proper rise and plane manifold, do you feel 650-680cfm is a good range for a 454 tow rig?

    1980 Scottsdale C30 3 fuel doors but just 1 tank? adding a tank or 2 and in tank fuel pumps

    ok, sorry Ricko1966, that's a typo, Scott has a standard aluminium aftermarket and q jet atm, the cube van project I shelved to start Scott came with the torker II, I'm still lurking the forums and reading posts to try to decide a good manifold for Scott

    1980 Scottsdale C30 3 fuel doors but just 1 tank? adding a tank or 2 and in tank fuel pumps

    dead end on the fitech anyway, It was a 650cfm, and the sniper 1 I found was a 680 so another wash as prof google says they are to small for a 454 or 440 with torker II's and headers

    1980 Scottsdale C30 3 fuel doors but just 1 tank? adding a tank or 2 and in tank fuel pumps

    kind of leaning towards repairing the stock fuel system then using it as the "truck" fuel system, and the 60 gal tank for aux equipment, I have a gas welder, air compressor, genny, that kind of thing while giving more thought to trying to tie it in idiot proof, or maybe in the end it will just...

    2 cycle gas mix ratio

    I run trufuel 40:1, I only have a weed whacker and small chainsaw, so a gallon lasts me 2 years or more, I buy it on sale and it outlasts pump gas w/stabilizer

    2 cycle gas mix ratio

    if your worried that 50:1 is to thin, another common premix is 40:1 (at least in my region of Ontario Canada its more common to find it) but it doesn't go on sale as often
