ya. for the rpm range that my 318 runs in the 670cfm holley is too much. i think the 670 might even be a bit too much for a big block like yours unless you run it up to 6000rpm. i would have to be able to run my 318 up to 8000rpm to make full use of the 670 carb. i would only have to hit about 4500rpm to make full use of the 390cfm carb. i think red line where my 318 would blow up is about 4400rpm. i know my engine only turns at about 3400rpm when i am doing 90mph down the highway so the 390 would be perfect for me.

My big block has an 800 on it if I understand what I read correctly.

Either that or 750 or 850. lol Def. not 1000.

Well, nothing much I can do without driving her everywhere. And as mellow as she is I think she'd get pretty annoyed after a while of that.
I only drive if we're in the same vehicle. Usually it's her car where it's an issue. My truck is obviously not a problem.

LOL Yes I will do a driving video and walk around. And how much of my Irish accent depends on how much RTE Radio 1 I listened to that day

Warpath

Pink war path? Implying a period? Psh. You'd know about that.

This is true, the Carter TQ has tiny primaries and huge secondaries.

Guess I failed to say that was your gf in the video

This has probably been around before, but it's such a WTF it deserves another go:
