Re: old school tunnel ram and carbs question

[ QUOTE ] The only other problem I don't like about running the carbs sideways is you have to cut an extra wide hole on the hood the clear the carbs and linkage. [/ QUOTE ] Leave the hood off and chrome the hood hinges and springs. Then drive around with the hood hinges in the "open" position. Anyone remember that? A noisy gear drive adds to the impact. Suddenly it's 1979. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: old school tunnel ram and carbs question
Here is a pic of a metering block. I tried to show the liquid line restricted. You can see a non restricted line on the other side of the block. The pencil is pointing to the restricted line. I used a an 0.018" steel wire and bend it in a "U" shape so that it fits in both ports. It is retained by the metering block flat gasket.
I get the wire from just about any parts tag, they all seem to use this wire and are readily available in most shops. If you can change a powervalve, you can do this mod.  This shows the wire installed in the two holes the pencil is pointing to as well as another similar wire not installed.
