Thanks Coopman! Do you agree with Coopman that the rochester is a good choice. I forgot to inform you that the builder is listing a 3/4 Isky as being installed, 77 series, I believe. Is there a stock ford or an interesting, conservative air breather I can use with the Rochester. Do you kow how much CFM? I suppose these are readily available, and affordable, I hope?
