And quite nicely actually. Found that the pushrods I had (SBC pushrods) were too long. Ordered new AMC pushrods and compared them to the SBC ones...almost a 1/4" longer! :eek: No wonder my springs were bottoming out! Got it all back together now and runs like a dream.

Pretty well, still cant get a steady vac reading to tune it nor can I figure out how to set the floats. Every time I open the screws on top fuel starts gushing out...
Runs great the way it is tho, just a little hesitation from a stop.

Yea, Im very please with them even tho they were a little on the expensive side for my budget, glad I spent the extra money tho...only complaint I have is every time I pressure wash the motor I either have to put on new 360 stickers or re-apply the ones that fall off...
