The old holley 650 vac on the COMMY was playing up so off it came and i replaced it with a rochester and i have to say what a difference the old beast gets up and goes now !!!!!! Runs a lot better now !!!!!

I too am have trouble with my Holley 650 double pumper. I don't think it is a good choice for a road car. What wheel tyre combo are you running?

hey mate just noticed on this pic

that you've blocked off both your smaller hose outlets, are you still doing this? also I've taken my air con out, it used to have hoses that went to the thermostat housing and another one to the waterpump, with another hose between the housing and waterpump.
Do I still need to run the hose between housing and waterpump? or could I block them off? cheers

the car looks good buddy, I love drop tank... hell, there's not enough drop tanks in this world these days!
If I was to criticise... maybe loose the late model lion badge off the boot lid, but thats the best I can do

Hey mate, congrats on your kid!
Your car looks great, wasn't sure on the colour at first, but I reckon it works. Gives me more motivation to get my VT up to standards
