Ricky,since you are still building, you may want to consider what I did with my tank

I am using QD pins for my tank, seat, and radiator side panels; hope they hold my shit in place! I'll find-out soon enough.
That fuel tank removal just did my head in; hated it! draining the tank, that damn cross-over hose really pissed me off; all gone now, now have QD pins and QD hoses.

It's not a quick as the video. I do have to remove the left side panel and disconnect the fuel line. Still, tank removal takes about a minute or two. I ran the cross over line down the sides of the tank and around the distributor. I had the QD fittings on the cross over line, but it was almost impossible for me to get my pud pullers in there to disconnect it. After I added the vacuum tank for my clutch booster it became completely impossible.

The 1904 carb I received from Petite Moose last week was installed today.

Lee took it home first and checked it all over...rejetted also. It is a Carby Mike Stage ll...pretty clean carb so not a lot had to be done.

Man oh man these carbs are tight in a BB frame...

it is running other than a minor idle mixture Lee want to adjust. Also will test cold start a couple days before we put the tank on and I dont need the tank for a 10 minute blast down the highway. To me and a friend of mine who was there...we think there was actually a difference in how crisp the 502 sounds...might be just us I don't know. I do know it was running rich at idle and maybe even down the road with the Holley.

Not sure when the roads will be good for a ride but hopefully they will clear enough. I am fairly close to a highway...about 6 to 7 blocks.

Hoping that carb gets her done on the highway for my 502..

Just twist the throttle and let it eat

For sure Moose....More power is needed to twist the throttle now as the spring in this Edelbrock is quite a bit stronger than the Holley had..I am not sure I like it but also not sure what I can change to fix it.

Mike at Summit added that as a safety. The spring that was in it was super light. I got used to it after a day or so. You might contact him to see what he did. i thought it was a little too strong and may eventually pull the plastic out of the throttle from the stress. Crap ... down to $3.00 now??

I like super light...lol...most likely have to pull the carb to change the spring...see how it performs first and foremost.

I also like $3.00 lol

The Holley carb is for sale if anyone wants it...make me an offer I can't refuse!!
