If I remember right, a Holley 650 is a spread bore (small primary) carb with mechanical secondaries (let me know if I'm wrong). That will be difficult to get to work right with an auto trans (I'm guessing you have an auto trans). You'll get exactl...

The real reward is how the car turns out when you don't cut corners because you want it done now.

Just wanted to say that's one sweet ride you have there, one Mopar guy to another. I'm currently working on one of my 77 Cordobas, I have 3 of them!!! I have 2 of them in my photo album. 2 are big blocks and the Yellow car is a 360ci. with less than 33K original miles. They are the closest thing I could afford to the 71 Charger 500 that I had when I was 16 years old. Check'em out, you may be surprised!!!
