Oh I have headers so I will have to dream up a way to pull hot air to the thermostatic intake mixer.
I won't have a phenolic spacer but I will have that carb heater plate, it's about 1 inch thick.
Actually a vacuum reference fuel pressure regulator is actually a pretty good idea. Never thought about using one in a carb application.
At idle and driving down the road I only need like 3 to 20lb per hour of fuel, 1psi would be plenty of fuel pressure to keep the carb full. But at WOT it will need more like 250 pounds per hour or 40 gallons per hour.
That way the floats aren't trying to hold back 7psi at idle when gas just needs to be dripping into the bowls.
I have 3.21 gears to put in the rear.
