using an Edelbrock Super Victor Sr., single plane.
and no, no fuel leaks anywhere.
and yeh, my timing mark jumps around a lot, or at least a lot more than i like.
Still leaning towards picking up a fairly cheap HEI. i sorta subscribe to "you get what you pay for", so i wont get a 50$ HEI, but maybe a 100$ unit, like a JEGS brand or something just to see what the differences are if any.

right now, my cam break-in is complete and i have to put the inner springs back in the valve springs... which means i have to set valve lash again, 16 wonderful chances for me to kill my new cam : P
taking the inner springs out while the motor was on the engine stand was fairly easy with my cheapass spring compressor which resembles a bent piece of bar stock. im not looking forward to this although im sure the passenger side wont be too bad, the drivers side is gonna SUK.

pics of my car off the jackstands after i was playing with the trans in the parking lot across the street and my new alternator bracket i got from Bills Hot Rods in Covina, Cal.
