take the intake off, get a ch4b edelbrock intake, check the numbers on one
of the carbs. look for #1407. get a spec.book for the carb., determine that
the jets are correct, replace the intake with the ch4b and one carb. set the
timing, see what it does. without knowing camshaft size, etc. you are
shooting in the dark. that's my 2 cents. you need good gas with that
compression....

Ok Fellows...I have made a mistake and need to re-do! I let a fellow (he
claimed expertise!) build my 63 Fury wedge engine...and he screwed it up!
He used a 64 Imperial (sorry Eric!) 413 donor block...it has been bored to
426 and the heads milled to bring compression to 11to1. He claims (and I
doubt) that a "mild 3/4 cam" was installed. He used a roller chain, etc. and
supposedly roller tappets, etc....I have not been into the engine so I don't
know. He also used 67 GTX hp exhaust manifolds and a new offenhauser "low
profile 2 X 4" intake with new Edelbrock carbs...I can get the number, but
they're to large...the engine is rich...really rich, and sucking gas like a
baby elephant eats ! He did use electronic ignition stuff from mopar
performance (I believe).

I am not pleased with the results. The engine is no where close to where it
should be for the money spent, but that's my problem so I'll eat the dirt
and go on...
However....
With the above facts...What would you Guru's of go reccommend I do ?

The floor is yours...and killing the jerk is out of the question...he's way
to far away...which is my excuse for getting in this mess.
