I changed the floats in my Holley to brass today. (Frickn fracken non adjustable float valves...) Replaced some fuel line and vacuum caps. At least it is driveable again. I want to fix my leaky valve covers and am about giving up on Blue Thunder. But, I did see a pair of OMC inboard covers on Ebay that might do the trick. Kinda wish I still had access to a bead blast cabinet and a powder coating oven. (That shop closed a couple of months ago)

The stator terminal on a 130A 3G is by itself instead of part of a multi prong plug like the 2G. Most people doing this swap use the pigtail for an A/C clutch. (single gray locking connector) You can splice both wires to this connector or use a 'piggyback' spade connector, covered in heatshrink tubing. This kind of terminal/connector seems to be common in the HVAC trade. I've been thinking of a carburetor swap and have to consider a little rewiring of my alternator anyway. If I have a phone with a camera that can focus by then I will take pictures of what I remove.

Well the "RV" cam in my engine is real crap on top. 5K and it begins to wheeze. So I should be looking for a 650 to rebuild (because $ is an issue *always* it seems) I don't want to cripple myself even though this Holley is a 600 where the stock 4180 was closer to 650. I appreciate the tuning advice Gary. If you ever find yourself confronted with Weber or SU's lmk.... Hopefully Bill will see this. I guess I am the one to get the ball rolling. Lol Recently I've replaced the diff cover, rear spring perches, bought a D60 (dually) axle, replaced the front rotors and hubs as part of a brake service, replaced the head pipe flange as part of a new muffler, put new tires on the back, got a *new* spare wheel and cleaned up the spare crossbar, and Idk how many other little tasks.... Where is the wdydtytt thread???

Changed my plugs/cap/rotor yesterday. Other than burning oil in #7 the engine looks like it's very lean even though mileage has been deteriorating and it drives like it's fat until fully warmed up. The truck has a six year old Holley 08457-s now, but due to current lack of shop, driveway, space, time and money I'm thinking to just swap it out. Since both Gary and Bill are here I'm going to ask: 600 or 750? AFB or AVS? And why? Want to keep stock aircleaner and an electric choke.(yes I know stator v/ 12V)
