    Headers glowing with new intake and carb. Hard starting.

    Hi! What are you running for ignition, plug gap might be too big for your ignition system.

    Restomod Wiring: Painless Vs American autowire

    Hi! One more option you could consider since you are doing a restomod is to run the wire outside the engine bay to clean it up. I plug the fire wall hole and put all the electronics under the battery tray. The only wire you see are the one going to the alternator, coil and engine sending unit.

    u-joint size?

    Hi! your curent rear end as a 1100 series or 1260 series u-joint, you need a conversion u-joint, if you need 1310 to 1260 conversion spicer 2140x should work for you.
