Maybe maybe not. A carb. is not a fixed fuel injector it will flow more fuel, as there is more suck with more air flow, no difference than opening up the throttle blade for more air/fuel flow for more power. It is self-regulating to a point.I would also think my 1v would run lean if the header/exhaust were upgraded no?
My car came with a 250 head. I added a Weber 38, headers, and a 2.25" exhaust as well as an HEI distributor. It's made a huge difference. I did not put in a port divider. I read up on them and there is no consensus that they actually provide an advantage. The next step is pulling the head to check everything and looking into milling it down to bump up the compression along with some porting/polishing.2 1/4 pipes headers back is my plan!
Can you do what? I had to pull the starter to get the headers started, and then slipped the starter back in beneath them. It wasn't a big deal.Can I do it without pulling the head or engine?
I used the factory starter since a new one was on the car. I've heard that the starter may fry and also heard from folks who say it isn't a problem. A fiberglass heat wrap for the starter is available or you can wrap your headers. The stock linkage would not fit around my headers, so I installed a Lokar cable and a '69 Mustang pedal. The pedal had to be modified to fit the cable, so I welded on a tab after cutting a slot in the end of the pedal shaft to hold the tab.Yes I remember you saying that. Same size starter or did you switch to the 144 starter? I have seen people say the headers might fry the starter. Alternator clearance issues? Throttle linkage modifications? Sorry for all the questions, just a little nervous about doing this. I am using the Clifford headers!
