70 Charger hood clearance for CH4B? It runs

Well, I talked to Greg at Fabulous Fabrications, he is no longer able to make fuel lines. His arthritis has gotten worse to the point he's dealing with just that.  He hopes to get a vendor interested in his design.

  Today I ordered a fancy Proform float adjusting tool, jet changing screwdriver and a chrome fuel line rig for the carb from JEGS. I've a set of .015 intake gaskets from 440Source "just in case". I'll post part numbers when they come in if any are interested.

This tool here, Neal?   

It's helpful, but really, how many times will you use it? Mine was a freebie for placing a large order with JEGS.

  You don't know how many times I'd wished I had one! 20 years with a 6BBL so 3X time after time.    I'm still hoping for Sidewinder AL. heads later this year, possibly a new bump stick and without a doubt A/C so I'm just building up my tools selection. (Bought a DYI alignment rig also.)
  I've run a few heat cycles this week, firing it up and checking things as it climbs to full temp. The choke and coil are getting a nice fat 13.5V @ idle, it lights up on the first smack of the starter instantly, hot or cold. The choke pulls off quickly and I can't find any leaks. The rear bowl level is a bit high, I'll run that down a bit tonight after work (Without my fancy tool!) and check the torques on all nuts, bolts and connections. I've got a tiny bit of engine shake @ idle I'm not sure about but things are looking good.

Fuel bowls level adjusted to center of window and idle screws turned in for 21.75" of vacuum max.  Looks to be time for a drive. (Under load test.)

 How is she running Neal?  Take her out for a long term cruise yet?  Also, if you have any fuel mileage comparisons later, just for curiosity sakes?

I can't drive much, I've loose nuts on some fittings for alignment. I'm waiting for a DYI alignment tool this week.

 Update: After bunches of delays finally I have Sidewinder heads installed and sorting out kickdown linkage adjustments. (Hard to tune everything when full throttle results in ping at some ranges.)
Replacing my 8 inch long rod from carb to bellcrank with a similar rod 8 1/2 inch greatly helped adjustable positioning. My bellcrank holes are slightly below the AR bracket's alignment hole so I can't pin it in place per instructions...but I can get it close. I may need to shorten that vertical rod 1/4 inch or so as now it's screwed down all the way but a bit too high still. Down shift is hitting in a good range but shift is a bit soft.
Now that ping is gone I can start adjusting the 750 better also. I'll be looking at power valve and adjusting the vacuum secondary and cover it here if any are interested.
