Those poor tires. What an awesome example of period correct L78 power.

2.20 x 3.73 + tall tires = large bog.

Good point. OO ran 4.88 gears which was good for 6200 rpm thru the traps back in the day on 29.5” M&H slicks (as are on the car now). However, this carb is bogging which is a new event and is being remedied.

The Super Scavengers of course negate the use of that pesky back up linkage!!

Loosened the tach clamp and rotated the steering column collar to turn the backup lamps off. Dug thru all my crap looking for a stiffer vacumn secondary spring for the carb. Found two in a parts bin but the one that was stiffer didn't make much of a difference. I've ordered more from Summit but I can see in my mind a package of them I have seen a million times here but damned if I can find them.
