The problem being is.......It belonged to someone that just wanted to "trick" it out. Lowered the front end enough to break shocks, etc., etc. It HAD dual carbs, but he had already sold them. I went back with a Weber two barrel setup. That's not the problem. Thought maybe it was a fuel problem, (maybe vaporization since it has been in the triple digits here lately) or a fuel pump. My biggest problem is that I am getting overly frustrated with it and I just need to walk away from for a while. (I had been running around town all morning, shut it off to go and do something and then when I got back into it, it ran for about two blocks gave about three hiccups and refused to go any further. I was mad enough to walk the 6 miles back to my house.) I can come up with T1 motors relatively quick (Don't know why I asked if anyone had one) and was just wondering if it could be done. Now that I have calmed down a bit, I have re-thought the idea of shooting it. I visited the site with the pix of your Square on it. I must say..........You, Sir, have one OUTSTANDING Square!!!!!!!!!
