It idles about 1200 rpm in neutral, 900 in drive. Steady as a rock. It's a little tough on cold starting, and it's not the quickest car in the world. I'm building my new motor with a counterweighted crank, which should help me get out of the hole a little quicker. The first thing to check is to see if you can even convert legally. In my state, 70 and earlier cars are exempt from emissions requirements, although my 75 camper with the same setup always passes. I could drive anything, but I drive Betty daily and she's gotta run. My FI always needed fixing. Perhaps my experiences are rare. > > > > Curt > > 70 sqare named "Betty" > > 75 Westy, also dual carbed -
