I like to start at the rear and work forward

I went with the Leeds pump. Have not driven the car far, but I can tell you I cannot hear it over the engine running.

Start with the basics mentioned above.

If you are going to spend the money, Switch to a set of ford bearing ends and eliminate the c-clip setup. At that point narrowing it is an easy add on.

Go with a standard pump for a 396 or 454 70 chevelle. Not sure if you can get one from an auto parts store, but they worked fine on the super sports...

If you can get it to stick hopefully in the high 12's. First gear has got a lot of multiplication. Track will most likely be green so it may be hard.

I'm of the old crowd. I had one until my leg didn't like it anymore. I am past the stick idea. I had my fun, went low 10's with a powershifted Jerico. Automatics for me going forward.

I should ask what is it replacing? I ran a properly opening 750 vac secondary and went to a 750 double pumper on my street car and ran the same et.

I don’t see why it would be a problem.

We put the 18X29 sportsmans on my friends car. He likes them and they fit will in the stock diameter wheel well. They are on a 14" wheel as well.

Harland Sharp has been very good for me.

Airflow trumps compression. So unless you're talking going to a 76 cc head over a 64, the few cc difference either way in compression will make less power than a better flowing head. A 1.94 valve is about as big as I would go with on a 305 bore. Too big of a valve will start to cause...

Yup it’s common

Here is my take on OPGI. They advertise A LOT of parts, and A LOT of sales. But the last few years I have been trying to get parts for my 70 chevelle, they dont have it in stock and guesses as to when it will be in. The problem is they are usually 1 of the few places that shows the part I need.

I thought about doing that in my big block but I’ve had good luck with a nylon button and stock cover. I did have the cloyes cover on my last race engine but don’t know if it was worth any power.
