[Backtobasics]

In the short term I am going to try to maximize what I have. The 1945 has a recent rebuild, and runs pretty well.

I am going to use an Offy for down the road. The carb is a 0-6210 Holley, spread bore double pumper, 650. (Duck and cover)
I know it's big, but when the turbo comes it is one of the smaller carbs that work for blow through. I will likely on my little engine, lock out the secondaries, as primaries should be adequate.

HEI mod is coming soon. It sounds like the next logical step. I have access to MSD, Mallory, and all the performance stuff through work. A max ignition system will help with boost down the road.

I may look into one of the OE distributors that Dan recommends. I emailed the old parts dude, no answer yet. I half wonder if going to non DL and FD distributor, would allow me to start with a 1976 non lightweight build, and go from there.

I am dying to get my exhaust run. I am tired of the existing stuff banging and clanging.

Electric fan is coming soon, especially with colder weather, no need to slow warmup, and eat HP turning fixed blades. If it stays cool, then I might fashion up one of these high fangled grill blocks I read so much about!
Even with the distance, we will get it tuned. I am anxious to see what the next tank will bring, with the working PCV, no vacuum leaks, larger jet, etc.
Thanks for all the help.
