Transmission dilema

Other than the Thermoquad nothing else would make good power and pass emissions tests. The Ford Motorcraft carbs were junk and ran terrible.

And boy are they FUGLY. I hate Motorcraft carbs if only for that reason.
 
You had a Q-Jet then you put on an Edelbrock. carb on.

How did you do this?
 
Qjets: the sl*ts of the carb world.

The Edelbrock RPM for the SB Olds is a square and spreadbore pattern. That thin plate might be needed to seal. The BB Olds version is squarebore only. A mistake in a lot of Olds guys run Qjets and tests have proven it needs a larger plenum.
 
Ok so... I've decided I'm going auto with the car. That means all the manual parts are going for sale. I don't use PayPal or anything, but if anyone is local and interested, I'm selling the st10 2-line 2.43 1st trans, science friction billet flywheel, ram clutch, blow proof bell, fork, rods, z bar, hurst shifter/knob, everything but the pedals. Also if whoever is interested gives me their stock driveshaft with 27 spline I'll swap for mine that fits the trans with the 32 spline yolk, I'm in southeastern mass, want 700$ for it all, clutch and flywheel have about 3k mi on them. Trans shifts nice, makes a little noise,but i think it's just the shifter rattling, weeps a little oil out of where the shifter shafts go in.
 
You probably have some good local builders, good luck and let us know what your final combo ends up as.
