MUST BE  A FORD THING  :smile16:  j/k!

The knockin I think is a ford thing. :smile16: This gallons mine claim is universal to all boats with over a ten to one compression and a 1000 CFM of carbs. He went from 900 CFM to 1500, it will be a tight race between the tach and the fuel gauge. I figure when he starts payin the fuel bill :smile13: he will give my carbs back and mount a couple of carter two barrels on it and call it good.  think.gif

think.gif Seems like somebody needs to do some tuning my 12.5:1 piece gets better mileage than the old 9:1 set up did. Of course my pipes aren't black after cruising around either.

He keep the boat at a friends in OK.  it'd be a hell of a hike to go get it, test at Lavon, then return it to OK to put it to bed that night.
