So I was able to work out a deal with a member and picked up a tunnel ram for my olds from jpro ( josh ) thanks bro by they way. And I'm hearing a lot of mixed things between stuff I'm reading online and from some of the old school old timer car buffs I know. So not really knowing whats in my motor it's kinda hard to get an idea of what i need to run this thing but it runs great with the torquer and 850dp that's on it so atleast I won't be without a boat till I decide to put this think on.
So my first issue is carb selection, I have a pair of 660 center squirts (list # 4224s ) sitting in a container in my garage soaking and the TR came with a set of vac secondary carbs that the choke horns were cut off so they are a mystery to me. So I'm unsure if I'm able to use either of the pairs I have and if they will be to much for my olds.
Second is ignition, I'm hearing and reading I need to run a high power setup different range plugs and blah blah blah, then contradicting info on that saying I'm fine pulling the vac module off my current dizzy and converting from the points to electronic and ill be good to go?
So I know a few of you guys here run a tunnel and theres quite a few very knowledgable engine guys and if I'm not mistakin crew chief is thee carb guy. So hopefully you guys can chime in and point me in the right direction
