50+ degrees of dwell. :lol: @65 Imperial, the point gap is set with the rubbing block of the points on the point of the distributor cam. .017 will get you there.

Condenser was my first thought as well.

I have had such good parts and service from Espo, I recommend them every time. THey are backlogged on their springs but they have all the parts you need.

A friend of mine was having excessive pressure issues and replaced the mechanical pump as a fix. The pressure went from 7 to over 10 psi. A regulator fixed the problem.

Fuel pressure? It should only be 4-5#.

I didn't say it was perfect. How do we dispose of batteries in EV's? It depends on manufacturer from what I understand. Hybrids use Nickel-Metal Hydride. Lithium, or Lead Acid.

I like the idea of hybrids. They would work perfect for the wife driving a few miles to work daily down city streets and still have the efficient gas burner for highway trips. We could save a tank full every few weeks. Probably $700-1000 savings a year. Not a lot of savings but it all helps and...

If you are going to do it use small carbs like the 390 cfm. If I remember, the 2x4 Poly intake is a dual plane so you can't use progressive linkage. You will have to run off of 4 barrels or 8 when you kick the pedal down. Even with small carbs, that's unnecessary on a stock Poly.

THere is a black "Contact Seller" button in the upper left of the first photo above.

I always start with the back of the slot just touching the pin on the carb like in this photo. THat should get you close. I always use the adapter that positions it correctly. (gold colored one in the photo) Switching from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel or switching brands of carbs makes a difference...
