Default Re: 8BA doesnt have power

Thankx Trent. Good on you. I did the same (purist) for many years and Tubman is right. It can be done.
I thought about the Holly but there are many mixed reviews on them. The Holly does not take long term storage well. The metering plate and bowel gaskets dry out and you are disassembling it. The early GMs work well and are a good choice.
Bubba and Charley are mentors on this board and good choices to lean on. One of them (I think) years ago did some dyno pulls tuning advance rates. Surprisingly, more/quicker killed the torque curve. Impossible to tune for using the load'o'matic.
Anyways, Every time they write something I always am intrigued and marvel at their knowledge.
