Guys- I'm entering a similar process. Need to tune. Just rebuilt the distributor, nice and solid now (shimmed to .020 to correct the too-much-play up/down, new curve kit, changed advance bushing, new rotor, points (gapped to 0.016) condenser, retaining spring, even glass beaded the body). SO.... to the Quadrajet. Who is Cliff Ruggles, and why is that name familiar? Mentioned before? Can someone send me his contact info?
And by the way, ACENHO: Nice looking Bird you've got! Nice Work
