the pictures you had sent me before didn't look like a vic jr. i'm a little surprised changing from a holley to Demon caused you to have to change manifold types. i thought the heights of the two carbs were the same.

By the way, your modifications on my base assembly helped tremendously. Thank you.

THIS times 1000! In order to get our shaker to work with the airgap and any carb we had to make our own shaker kit...

Sweet looking engine Waffles. I see you put that barn to good use after buying the house. You just need a lift in there so you can start stacking the mustangs like cord wood.
