    idle ?

    I searched the threads,but just too many to go through.Is the idle suppose to go up when you push in the clutch? Mine goes up like 100-200 RPM.If not what would cause this? Other than that the idle stays steady at 800-900 RPM.I'll check back later,have to get ready for work.

    1.7 rr on edelbrock heads/quest for 300hp

    As long as the RR and heads are both pedistal mount or stud they will work.I'm running pretty much the same setup except for TF stage 1 cam and 65mmTB.If had to do it over I would have got stud mount RR.

    which hook?

    I tried using the search but just too many to read.I bought the FR adjustable clutch cable kit,but of course FR is too cheap to include directions.I can change the quadrant,but why are there two sets of hooks? Which ones do I use?

    I might be wrong but don't most of the waterpump bolts run thru the timing chain cover,then into the block?If the bolt is broke flush with the timeing chain cover couldn't you take off the cover to expose the bolt.
