    My advice is to sell me that twin carb manifold.

    I am assuming you remove the tstat because of the head gasket fixit stuff? Maybe after awhile throw in a lower temp tstat?

    I am going to be looking through this forum to find the emissions/vacuum delete thread. I have found a picture and thats about it. If I find it I will let you know.

    It would be a lot easier to fix the head gasket then to try to switch to a carbureted motor in a fuel injected body
