Reply to "Simple Upgrades"

Thanks again. I've got the electronic distributor, going to use my old points to clip really tiny pieces of paper together on my desk. Old distributor cap will be a pen holder. (Can any of us throw anything away? Future thread.)

1. For noise considerations, does an exhaust wrap muffle the Mical headers any better than not? I'd planned to run stock exhaust (original looks) but does that negate all my 'gain'? Woe is me.

I like Georgie's suggestion. I've got MagnaFlows on my V8 Tundra (of course it sounded like a mouse sneezing through cheesecloth before) but it now has - and please don't kick me out for this - among the best V8 rumbles I've ever heard. 4 out of 5 car guy friends approve in independent testing.

2. And my original question - I need to give my man a decision on the Edelbrock 4V Performer (F351) plus Holley 700 (Pantera Parts Center custom.) And yes, there's a spacer (3/8) as Dave mentioned. It fits under the screen which is also important.

3. Remember, my stock AutoLite plus drilled boat anchor intake runs fine, but as all of you indicated and Rapid said, I'm bitten and there may be no turning back. I just keep on looking at the 264 rated hp stock and the 300-330 previous ratings (I know the measuring system changed in there) and wonder what small improvements are just CRYING to be done?

Thanks again to all,
