    I’d be interested to see how that goes, it’s quite surprising how much carb these little things can take.

    When I was shopping around for a carb for mine the consensus was the usual 600cfm vac sec, but it never really ran right. Thinking it was too big went down to a quick fuel 450 dp and it was better in the idle to mid range and then went flat.

    Took a gamble on a new Quick fuel 650dp and basically straight out of the box it was mint.
    Tuned it using the wide band afr and it starts easy, revs crisp as hell and has steady afr right up to 6500.

    If you are using the original cam then take the gear of the AU piece and put on another dizzy. Just make sure the shaft size is the same.

    The steel gears use to be about $40, that was 10 years ago for me. I used Mallory steel gear and a Mallory dizzy and the roll pin had to be re drilled to suit.

    Any 302w dizzy will fit, a steel gear is recommended, just make sure the hex drive is the right size as that is what can vary.

    Don’t be a cheap ass and get procomp...

    Yes still have the pulleys, I got the correct spacer but have kept the gilmour styled belt as it runs mint and doesn’t jump off, once it was aligned properly.

    This is a photo from a few years ago when I thought about swapping to a V belt set up and realised that the pulleys didn’t line up.

    You can see how I manipulated the Cleveland hose into the angled water neck.

    Yeah, got it from supercheap, there’s a reason I couldn’t use the vertical outlet and from memory it was due to the timing cover so used an older angled style.

    When my block was measured before being 0 decked it was like .005 at one end and .022 the other and the opposite on the other bank.

    Factory machining wasn’t flash at all.
